Today is the first day of spring? Well, I didn't notice that. However, I saw some changes around the world recently, and it refreshed me much.
Yesterday, I was hurrying to go to class in the afternoon. I was late, and giving up everything(actually, it was the Individual Research time), I just lay on the bridge in front of the Chungmu Building. I was looking at the sky somewhat aimlessly, but suddenly felt the sky so beautiful. When I saw the sun directly, it was pumping gold strings out from the core. How magnificent they were! The golden strings were being weaved on the green fabric, and two birds were hopping around the patch. Looking at the birds, I wondered how peaceful they were.
Before going down, I was very worried about my Critical Reading test. 'Of Mice and Men' and Sparknotes were always in my hands, and heavy 'Principles of Modern Chemistry' was in the bag. I also had to prepare for the incoming audition of FITM(failed). This week would probably be the busiest week in KMLA. 24 hours were not enough and I desperately needed some rest. So, that time, I felt like giving up everything for some minutes. The world around me was so different from my hasty lifestyle. The birds were so serene. I thought when I would be so calm as the birds are. Maybe tomorrow, one week later, two years later, thirty years later, or the time I disappear...... Anyway, I enjoyed the moment so much. I was just happy to feel dc/dt(c is calmness), feeling as if I slightly overcame thirst.
Looking back at the grass and chirping birds, I said to myself, 'Slow down'. I was embarrassed to myself for not even having time to look around myself. Maybe I have to save time for looking back at myself.
