One thing I want to replace is my mirror in my room. I got, ah, it from my dad as a gift when I was a kid. When we were redecorating my room. And he bought a wooden rectangular shaped mirror for me. And that’s in black color. But after years, um, like five years ago, iecoratedd my room again. And this time I, I changed the color of my room to mostly green and white. And that’s why black mirror doesn’t fit actually now. And its shape is. I said, uh, rectangular. And I want something round because I don’t really like, um, things with corners. And also this, um, mirror is, um, made from wood. And that’s why it’s so hard to clean. It gets too much stain. And actually I am kind of busy with my studies. And that’s why I don’t get a lot of time to do extra cleaning for different objects in my rumina. Think plastic would be better because it’s, you know, uh, easy to clean. And um, I bought it when I was a kid, as I said. And that’s why it kind of, um, has too much memories with me. Uh, when I was a kid, I used to look at myself, that mirror. And that’s why it’s kind of special. So I didn’t replace it, um, like all those years. But I think I want to do it now. And, uh, I need extra money for doing that because I have a lot of stuff going on at the moment. And that’s why I don’t have money for replacing stuff in my room. And I also think that this kind of, um, change need, um, some research because I would want to get something good for my room, something that I can use for many years. And that’s why I must do some research on websites, on, um, stores. And I will need, um, some extra time, m again, for this, um, kind of work. So I think I will do it next summer, I guess.

One thing I want to replace is the mirror in my room. I got it as a gift from my dad when I was a kid. We were redecorating my room, and he bought me a wooden, rectangular-shaped mirror in black. But after years, about five years ago, I redecorated my room again. This time, I changed the color scheme to mostly green and white, and the black mirror doesn't really fit anymore. Also, the shape is rectangular, and I want something round because I don't really like things with corners. The mirror is made of wood, which makes it hard to clean. It gets stained easily, and I'm kind of busy with my studies, so I don't have a lot of time to do extra cleaning for different objects in my room. I think plastic would be better because it's easy to clean. I bought the mirror when I was a kid, so it has a lot of memories for me. When I was younger, I used to look at myself in that mirror, so it's kind of special. That's why I haven't replaced it all these years, but I think I want to do it now. I need extra money to do that because I have a lot going on at the moment, and I don't have money to replace things in my room. I also think this kind of change needs some research because I want to get something good for my room, something that I can use for many years. That's why I need to do some research on websites and in stores. I'll need some extra time for this kind of work, so I think I'll do it next summer.
