May 1

Today was my turn to clean at AGEAC. I came alone; usually there are two or three people for cleaning. So I thought, "I must clean quickly" and I started my work. It was not difficult because I was happy. When I was cleaning, I sang and thought happy thought, suddenly, the shelf broke. Last summer I had broken the light control and the door while cleaning the office. It happened again!. Then when i am trying to repair it, AGEAC teacher came in, and said "Please! be careful! this is impossible! Previous you have broken two things " and he said "please! do not sing. You are disturbing my working" At that time, the teacher was translating a movie. I was shocked and afraid of him. I have never seen him angry. Then some workers who are also my friend, came into the office and cleaned with me. After the cleaning was finished. I went out. I controlled myself, so I did not cry. Later I understood that it was my fault, because I must observe what I am doing. But I was not doing that. Now I think it is not bad and had experienced. I am doing to try observing myself, who I am, where I am, What I am doing.

My life in a dormitory

I live in a dormitory that is in an old building and better than many other. It has two sides, the teachers and other workers of this university live in one side. It is more comfortable and also cleaner, than the other side. Students live in the side where I also live. I think the living space is big; it has two beds, three tables and four chairs. Also the dormitory has plenty of fresh air. The most difficult thing is the long distance between the dormitory and the bus stop. Sometimes I am afraid to come back to my home in darkness, because there are no street lights along the way and there are some dark buildings. There is no supermarket near my dormitory, so it is too difficult to find groceries in the area. If I want something, I have to go to the city center. There is a small shop near home, but it is expensive, and for from other shops. I usually go to a market across the road from my job. Sometimes, I am so tired, it is not easy to bring groceries home, but it is okay. Overall, things are workable. I am happy with my building. We are satisfied living there.
