I don't know if you can swim
or if the sea has any draw for you
if you're better in the morning

If you walk my way
and I could keep my head
we could creep away in the dark
or maybe not,
we could shoot it down anyway.

Cover Letter
Cover Letter
Dear John,
From your website I learned about your need for a Building design or Architecture graduate for Dublin, Ireland. I am very interested in it. In Korea, I graduated university and have just got a master’s degree in Architecture theory & design in February 2011, so I believe that my education background is appropriate for the position.
As I wrote, my degree is Architecture theory and design, so I have abilities in both of them. I won the Best Paper Prize by my graduation thesis and the architectural design competition three times in Korea. One of them is the competition to design the main entrance area of my university which is going to be constructed. So I already have my own designed structure. I am confident that my career makes me an excellent candidate for your company. I’d like to repeat that success in your company using my academic background in Architecture design and theory.
Besides, I heard that your recent company project is to renovate old building which belongs university. When I designed the main entrance area of my university, I had researched a lot of case of university architectures. So I’m a competent person for your project. I would welcome the opportunity to interview with you. Within the next week I’ll call you to confirm that you received my e-mail and resume and to answer any questions you may have.
I very much appreciate your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Saemi Kim

Homework 2/3
Long, long times ago, when I was a primary school student, I used to ride a bicycle.
I would go to a supermarket by bicycle. I would park bicycle at the front of the super market. There was a lot of people, so I thought the spot was very safe to park my bicycle. I wouldn't be worried about it.
Oneday, I had only been shopping for 5 minutes, when I became aware that my bicycle was stolen. I felt embarrassed, I didn't know what could I do. Some minutes later, I thought that I had to find my bicycle. So I called my friends who lived nearby there. We decided to check all of corridor at these apartment complex. Each apartment had 16 floors and there were 10 apartments in the complex.
I had been looking for it for about 3 hours, when I saw a familiar silhouette in the dark. So I'd run to there. And it was the silhouette of a my bicycle!!!! It was a my bicycle!!!!!!!!! But it was different before it was stolen. It's a....... looked like a disaster. My bicycle had been covered with red & white colored paint. It was terrible. But it was absolutely my bicycle. It was standing at the front of a game center. So I decided to wait for a thief.
I had been waiting for him for 30 minutes, when I saw a kid trying to ride my bicycle. He looked so young and naive. But the kid is the thief! I couldn't believe that I saw. I went to there and I asked him. "I think this is absolutely my bicycle. Why are you trying to ride mine?" Then he was surprised, and started to cry. He said that he just wanted to get a bicycle. I felt that he was poor, but I changed my mind. Because he was the thief who painted my bicycle red&white!!!!! But I was too young, so I could only bring back my bicycle.

homework 2/2
I like to travel. Overseas travel is the best but travelling within the country is good, either.
Korea is a very beautiful country. And a countryside is more beautiful than a city. But because of the reason(more beautiful is found at more country), more beautiful place has less means of transportation.
So this happened to me when I was traveling Dam-yang which is a very beautiful countryside of Korea. I wanted to see Buddist temple, so I went to there. But when I went out the front door of the temple, buses which pass by there had been closed. Even the time was only 5 pm!!!!!!
So I was very confused. I didn't know what could I do. I had been flustering when I saw a police who was coming out from the door. So I asked him what could I do to go out. Then he said that he would bring me to the city. Besides, he let me see very beautiful road by driving. I had only been running by the car for about 10 minutes, when I saw a very beautiful road. I had wanted to drive the road, but it's impossible to me. Because I didn't have a drivers license. But he made it possible!!! And the car was the patrol car!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! I had felt very exited, so I said "Really really thank you!!!!!". It's a very special memory of my travel.

homework 1/31
1. Stuck in the snow
15 years ago, it was New Year's Day after of Korea.
I was coming home with my family from my uncle's home by car. It had been snowing for 1 day, everywhere was filled with snow. Finally, we were stuck in the snow on the express highway. It seemed that the snowing never stop.
We had been standing on the express highway for 35 hours. While we were standing on the highway, I and my younger brother could make 2 snowmen of great height. And we even slept in the car on the road. at that time, the highway was not a highway but a huge parking place. Everyone on the highway slept in the car.
It had been going on snowing so the heavy snow caused temporary closure of all schools. When we arrived at home, we had been utterly exhausted. That's the only one of my terrible memory of snowing.
2. Starving
Can you imagine? I feel hungry all the time.
I don't know since when I've felt hungry all the time. I just can guess.
I think my starving has been started since I arrived in Dublin. When I was in Korea, rice is the principal food of me. Ok, exactly, the principal food of the Koreans is rice. At that time, I didn't feel hungry much. Only skip meal could cause starving of me. Because (I don't know exactly) rice has an ability to keep the feeling of fullness. But cireal, potato, hamburger, pizza.... and so on are different. they makes me full quickly and feel hungry quickly too. It's a kind of disaster to me. I've never felt these kind of hungriness. I had liked to eat the kind of foods in Korea, but it was just one time for a day. I can't stand starving. So I often tell my friends "I'm starving!!"
3. My First Cat
Actually, my parents(especially dad) like dogs very much. So before I was born, they already had dogs. It wasn't 'a' dog, it was 'dogs'. Since I was born, I have had a lot of dogs already. They were very clever and friendly pets. I loved them but I wanted to have a kitty. So I asked my parents very carefuly, but they had not permitted. I had known why they answerd no but I really want to get. As you know, the bad relationship of the dogs and the cats was common sense.
One day morning, when I had been woken, I heard sounds of cats out of my door. There are 5 cats. They were very cute kitties. As soon as I had shown them, I shouted to call my parents. So then my dad had come to me and he said that a cat which is their mom would come here soon to bring her kitties. He said she temporarily put them on here to look for food. Anyway as kitties had been being in here, I was very happy. So I gave them some foods and blanket. But after about 3 hours, they had been gone. I was so depressed but now I'm ok. Now I know that the position of us(I and the Cats) is different.
4. My dad told me once that when he helped an woman.
She was a neighbor who was a mute lived nearby my home. She was very poor because she hadn't ability to get a job. Actually my family was not wealthy neither, my dad was used to help other people. And I hadn't known about that before he told me.
