오늘의 문장 Getting the hang of it? 일기 (Diary) I started a new part-time job at a café today. Everything felt overwhelming at first — the coffee machine, the order system, the pace. My supervisor watched me struggle for a while, then smiled and asked, ‘Getting the hang of it?’ Honestly, not quite yet, but I didn’t want to say no. By the end of my shift, I’d made at least ten lattes without spilling anything. I think I’ll be okay. ...

I couldn’t even think straight by the time I got home. I ordered delivery instead of cooking and just lay on the couch. Sometimes you just need to let the day be over. 오늘은 모든 게 잘못된 날 중 하나였다. 오후 6시까지 회의가 연달아 이어졌고, 마지막 회의 직전에 노트북이 꺼져버렸다. 나 진짜 다 됐다. 집에 돌아올 때쯤엔 제대로 생각도 할 수 없었다. 요리 대신 배달을 시키고 소파에 그냥 누워버렸다. 가끔은 그냥 하루가 끝나도록 내버려 둘 필요가 있다. ...

I looked at a few apartments online today, and honestly, most of them are way out of my budget. It made me realize how hard it is for young people to find a decent place to live without spending more than half their paycheck. I ended up calling my friend Jisoo, who is going through the same struggle. We agreed that affordability has become one of the biggest concerns for people our age.

오늘의 문장 Just a little teeny 일기 (Diary) Today I tried to take a nap after lunch, just for a little while.
