What happened today?
1. Before expressions
The professor of 'Construction management' class has a good energy and passion to take the class for the students. I respect him! After the class, I came back to home and had lunch at the same time. I was so hungry! While I ate lunch, my father repaired the laundry machine which didn't work for the part of automative putting 섬유유연제 and 세제 in.
And today, I have a gathering with my friends 오랜만에. A man of them completed the military service last week! Congratulations! I'm happy for that.
