Not Feeling Good

Today was a holiday so I didn't have any classes. But I had a lot of homework to do so I went to a library to study. However, my head was heavy and inside the library was freezing cold because of the air conditioner. I didn't get good concentration but I tried to finish as many homework questions as possible. And then, I became lazy about dinner and I didn't want to go back to my dorm and go to the dorm cafeteria again, so I decided to drop by the cafeteria before heading for my room even though it was just 5pm. Then, I chose one cafeteria and found a strange menue. It said "Sapporo noodles" ....? Sapporo ramen? wahaha(>o<)/ (Maybe not that funny, but I didn't expect any Asian food in that cafeteria so I was surprised and felt funny. Then I, of course, got the sapporo noodles (I saw many boxes that have Japanese letters "sapporo ichiban" on them) and also some salad. I started to eat noodles before it gets too soft, and one bite, two bites..., the fire alarm went off with some flashlights. Oh no---, not now--. Everybody there needed to evacuate. I thought it was not a real fire at all because I sometimes heard the fire alarm but nothing happened. I was just thinking about the ramen becoming soft and wondered if I can go back and eat it again. Actually, the beep didn't stop in about 20 mins so I gave up and went to the other dorm. Even though I started to eat very early, I finally finished dinner at the usual time.

Anyway, I want to touch cats---- (No context)

Japanese Friend

I hung out with a Japanese friend yesterday. I always get amazed at his hospitality and at the same time I realize the fact I don't really have hospitality. I am the youngest child in my family so my parents or my sister always take care of me. I'm used to that kind of environment so I don't really try to positively do something for people. I think my Japanese friend is the oldest child, so it is predictable why he has hospitality. But being the youngest child or oldest child cannot be an excuse of the fact I don't have hospitality(>_<). I should change this lazy habit, otherwise I cannot make people who are important to me happy. I think that this realization is the first step. I should keep thinking about this problem and whenever I notice I can do something voluntarily to somebody, I do it!

Socializing

I had a language exchange after school. I was really nervous last time but I was kind of relaxed today. I had fun and learned a lot. My language exchange mate's Japanese was so good, so it was just like I was talking with a friend in my first language. I hope I can speak like her in English.

Tired

I don't know why but I am tired all day long nowadays. I don't have any power to concentrate on studying even though I already have some homework due this Friday and a vocab test on the same day. I hope I can get a good body rhythm back very soon.

First Day

My classes started. I woke up around 7am! even though I have woken up around 11 am nowadays.. I was kind of jet lag and tired all day long. My classes seem to assign more work to do so this quarter will be obviously harder. I hope I can have another successful quarter!

Come Back to Real Life

I haven't written my blog for a while. Now it is kind of more difficult to write this since my friend made fun of my writing. hm.. maybe I should not care about it. (-.-)

My health was not good during the winter break so what I did was just resting. I wish I had been fine and gone out more.

My classes will start tomorrow. I bought almost all textbooks (even though I bought all used books but the price already became $300. so expensive!) I am a little bit worried about the new quarter because I have four classes. I can drop one of them without any problems because it is not for my major or degree at all but I know that if I do so, I will be bored. Oh, I will start a language exchange too. This quarter will be another busy quarter!

I am sleepy now..

Came back!

I came back to an area where I went to a college till last year. The scenery reminded of my life here a lot. I met my hostfamily again and they haven't changed a bit. I ate my hostmom's cooking and it was so good. The room I am staying at is comfortable too. I can use the Internet and there is a TV with PS2. My friend said I can play a new video game she just got. She already left for her country with her husband for a vacation last night, but I got to see her before she left. She is much older than me, but she looks very young. ( I look young too) She didn't change at all either.

I am enjoing my vacation!!

basketball!

I played basketball with my friend today^^. It was so fan. We did just some shoot practice but I enjoyed a lot. I always forget how much I like playing basketball until I actually play. I hope I can play with my classmates next qurter because I have heard some of them are playing together often.

I feel relieved after the finals. I have got a very good grade for my Korean class(^o^). I am so happy about it. I hope I can get another good grade for the important class for my major!

Winter vacation

I'm done for this quarter! I need to preapare for the trip to SF^^

busy

I have a final today and another tomorrow. hectic!!
