On a Diet

From this week, me and my roomate started diet because we are getting weight so much! Befor I came to America, everybody said to me take you care because almost of gials who went to America for studying getting weight. I don't know why but I think different meal is the main reason of getting weight. And following their worried I'm getting weight! We have to get back to Korea in May, so we started real hardly diet.

When I arrived UNK, I'm very surprised because everybody didn't care about their appearances (at least in my view). It is impossible in my country!! I don't know how it come about, but everyone really care about their appearence. Especially women, they always wear pretty clothes, make up, and wear high heel. In my case, I live far from my school so it takes two hour to get my class but I have to care about my appearance, so everyday I wake up early, bear the sore from wearing heel. I'm flat foot person, so it is really hard to me.

Good appearance always to be strong advantage in Korean society. We prefer good looking person than not good looking person at every situation. I think it is our traditional thinking way because we have the old phrase "같은 값이면 다홍치마", it means "I'll choose pretty skirt if it is same price". Of course it is very universe thinking I think our society truely truely like this phrase. Discrimination from appearance cause serious problems such as suiside or mental disorders. I know it is really crazy thing but this is the current! I'm very weak willing person. we got the answer. ;-(

If I live in Kearney I don't have to lose my weight so hard, but live in Korea? It's really really really really different situation! I'm worried about my Korea life because I already accustomed to here, Kearney way. May be I'll have to practice to wear high heels because I'm short!
