#Letter_To_Future_Roommate

Dear Roommate,
I’m enclosing a page of “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.”
Think you might find this useful for next year.
Won’t say no more here. Hoping to see you next fall.
All the best,
Hajin.
“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.”
Habitat: Dormitory 
Most dorm-dwelling creatures are classified in the lower classes for perceived dangerousness, and the Ministry of Magic feels that competent wizards should be able to cope with them, given that they follow the instructions provided.
Cookie Monster: Possessing insatiable appetite, the cookie monster gains additional power with the mounting of unfinished essays. It is harmless to everyone except the refrigerator, which can be saved by the sacrifice of the monster’s favorite: Pepperidge Farm’s Milano cookie.
Nargle: the Nargle hatches in early July, around the time it starts the Christmas countdown. It celebrates Christmas by giving out homemade food and presents. The dorm Nargle is rumored to have elf ancestry, and lives off Christmas Spirit.
House Elves: the house elf appears when the dorm’s hygiene has fallen in grave danger, particularly when the bathroom is concerned. Its cleaning skills have been honed through three years of boarding school. Out of loyalty to its master, the house elf despises synthesized deodorants and bad recycling habits.

Mummy: Unrecognizable and wrapped in bedsheets, the mummy puts a curse on anything that tries to wake it during the weekends. When necessary, however, the mummy can be tackled with strong sunlight.

    *The above is a clever adaptation of Harry Potter. If you recognize it, good, and if you don’t, then we have work to do.

Review on Arkangel, Black Mirror

Review on Arkangel,  Black  Mirror As a young child, Sara has grown up with a child monitoring system implanted in her head. With a tablet, Sara's mother can find the geolocation of child, see what Sara is seeing, and blur out disturbing images. This difference in growing up caused Sara to be emotionally immature and socially outcast in school. Another problem is that Sara learns violence, illness, and sex only at a late age. While it is natural for her to be curious of obscenities, she harms herself because she did not have the awareness that she should have achieved through early exposure (not pleasant but necessary). For instance, Sara cuts herself because she does not know pain or violence. She only knows the concept, and she harms herself because she never had the chance to fully realize what violence is, and why she should avoid it. When Sara has a sexual relationship with Trick, she mimics the actor she saw on internet pornography, because that was the first way she e

Big Graduation Mischief

-
All is dark in the cold night of Hoengseong. The wind is rushing through the snow-covered mountains. In the middle of the mountain lies Korean Minjok Leadership Academy (a.k.a KMLA), isolated. On the top floor of KMLA’s dormitory building, a single dim light is seeping out into the night. It is coming from a dark storage room of the school cafeteria, where twelve students are huddled up, whispering. There was a knock on the door. Everyone flinched- except for Summer, who scuttled to hide behind the shelf of tuna cans. “ It ’ s me ” , whispered Blake, peeking into the dark room. The dead quite room was now filled with sighs of relief. “ You ’ re late, Mr. Class President”, Seolin accused.   " Sorry, I just came back from the basketball competition- did I miss something? ” “ The morning assembly had been a chaos. They banned our graduation!” “…and so, we’re planning an escape” added Brian. “Here, come on in”, said Jihyun, handing Blake a shabby scroll of paper.

Self Reflection Essay: To kill a bee – first aid kit

To kill a bee – first aid kit     As a young child, I watched a television program named “Go Diego Go!”. The main character of the animation was Diego, a young adventurer of the jungles. He used a special bag filled with supplies and food used to rescue wild animals. Quickly, Diego and his rescue kit became my hero.   Watching the animation, my younger brother and I started having little expeditions of our own. Our favorite pastime was to go outside to the playground or the woods, searching for animals and insects that needed our help. We also bought a plastic pill container from the town grocery store and named it our first aid kit. We filled the kit with sugar, salt, water, oats, and honey nicked from the kitchen.   With our small first aid kit, we fed birds, located stray cats, and especially, tried to save dying bees. In certain times of the year, bees were frequently spotted in our playground, laboriously fluttering for their last flight home. Nature
