Fun trip in Chattanooga!

 Last friday, all of the ELL students went to the trip in Chattanooga! The day before the trip, I visited every single teacher and recieved my homeworks for friday. A lot of students who went to the trip were planning to cover up their missing assignment on Monday, however, I wanted to enjoy Chattanooga as much as I could so I finished everything on Thursday.
 I woke up at six thirty in the morning to prepare for the trip. I was very exited to go to the aquarium since I love to see fish so much. Also, Tami and I became a good friend for last several months, so it excited me more than anything else.
 We left the school at seven fourty, and surprisingly, the time changed while we were driving to Chattanooga. In Korea, there is no time zone in the country since it is not as big as America. So time changing while driving was a surprising experience for me.
 When we arrived in Chattanooga, it was familiar because I have already been with my friend. There were two large building for aquarium, and as I went up to third floor, which was Tropical Cove, I could see a lot of weird fish that I haven't seen before. I could touch some fish, and it felt really soft unlike I had expected. In the second building, I could see a lot of big fish like sharks swimming around. I thought like what if the glass is broken, but I know it will never gonna happen.
 After I enjoyed the aquarium, I walked to Chattanooga downtown to find for some restaurant. There were a lot of restaurants, but we couldn't find the one we wanted; Korean restaurant. So Tami and I went to Applebees. I ate some smores and chicken strips.
 Duck boat was the most exciting thing in the trip! The boat driver asked us if we want to go down to the water fast or slow. Obviously, I wanted to go down fast, but he told us that we were going to be wet and literally no one wanted to go fast. Honestly, when he drived down to the water, I felt it was pretty fast than what I had expected. It was kinda cold while we were on the water because I didn't wear a long pants since I saw it is hot in Chattanooga that morning in Google. However, for all, it was really cool.
 I think it was the best trip that I had been with other students. I am sad that I am not going to ELL trip next year since I don't think I am taking it again, but I am sure that this is going to remain as the best trip in the Webb school.
 Thanks for Ms. Berzinskas and Mr. Berzinskas for letting us have a fun trip safely in Chattanooga!

Bunny, help me!

"O my gosh, i ruined everything."
Yeah, like every person does, i often regret my own decisions. 
I remember yesterday, and it was like a nightmare. 
"Daniel, i really like like you."
I really don't want to think about it again, but it was me last night in front of the boy that i like, whose name is Daniel.
"Lillie, i don't think you are fit as my girlfriend. Sorry."
And today, i felt myself like a girl who lost the world. He started to ignore me at all. The only thing i could do was just to define the situation as "Heck".
Frankly, i liked him more than anyone did.
Obviously, i am regretting a lot such as, "Why do you live, my brain", or "Yeah, everything's my fault."

I had no energy and couldn't think anything. What if i didn't ask him out yesterday? He probably will have not ignored me. 

Suddenly, something made a little sound in front of my feet.
"Qqqaeezzzz!" 
It was a real slight sound so i had to concentrate.
"Qqqaeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!"
There was a bunny inside a black England style hat!
The bunny hopped up to me shoulder and started to whisper to my ear.
'Why are you regretting so much? Don't you see any future? Or do you want to know what is a good decision? I am a magic bunny, who knows everything!'
I couldn't say anything. There were so many things happening to me that i cannot handle!
'I am a magic bunny! I guess you always want to decide a better choice, but you really don't. I'll help you!'
"O..okay", i answered.

Should i really believe this nonsense bunny?

Real Human Being

 I often have different opinions with other people. I always let other people know that my thought is differnet, and I think it is because of my charactoristic reason. I think it is very important to stand my own opinion even it is different from others. Also, to have a differnt opinion is very natural and nothing is wrong with it.
 Honestly, the reason I have come to the US is related with this. In Korea, people tend to think some ideas different from majorities are wrong. Also, even someone have their own opinion, it is hard to express that because they worry about others' blaming. However, in America, they are more likely to respect people's own thoughts or ideas although they are obviously wrong. I think to express the difference is real human being because the distintive difference between machine and the human is that human think, create, and express. If we follow other people's thought, I think that is just a machine. Also, if we read some biography of a lot of successful people, we are able to know that they had been very different since they were children.
 Today in my english class, Mr. Barrett made us to find the factor that makes this cartoon(Calvin and Hobbes) funny. When we presented our thoughts, I got to know that I had found the humor in different scene. After I heard the intension of the author, I finally understood fully. However, even though I knew my thought was pretty awful, I pointed out. The reason I never ignore myself is because I am a human, and I think human should have their own thought distinctive from others.

My Love From Another Star

 These days, I am watching the Korean drama called "My Love From Another Star" every weekend.  This drama used to be very famous in Korea a year ago. At that time, I didn't have enough time to watch the drama so I couldn't watch it. However, after I came to the US, I have been having plenty of times on weekends. So I started to watch this drama!

 This drama is about the love between the boy who's from another planet and the girl who's a famous actress in Korea. The boy, whose name is 'Do Min-Jun', has been living in the Earth for 400 years since his UFO left him in the Earth. He is able to use some super powers, and after he gets to know the girl, he uses this super powers to rescue her from a lot of dangerous scenes. The girl names 'Cheon Song-E' has two best friends: Yoo Sam-E, and Lee Hwi-Kyeong. Sam-E is also an actress, however, she always has inferiority feeling towards Song-E. In a lot of episodes, Song-E and Sam-E have a lot of comflicts. The reason of the big conflict between two girls is that Hwi-Kyeong has loved Song-E since he was 15, while Sam-E loves Hwi-Kyeong.  This makes the drama more interesting!

 Min-Jun and Song-E have a lot of conflicts before they love each other, however, they finally fall in love with each other. Hwi-Kyeong's older brother, Jae-Kyeong, has a big secret that he is a murderer. He has killed his ex-wife, her new girlfriend, and has been trying to kill Song-E because she knows a lot of facts about his murdering. Whenever Jae-Kyeong tries to kill Song-E, Min-Jun is able to know what's going to happen to Song-E in several hours from his dream, and rescue her from Jae-Kyeong. In every 402 years, the planet that Min-Jun had been living approaches to the Earth. Min-Jun gets to know that he only has a month in the Earth, or he has to wait for another 402 years. Song-E feels something strange in his action towards her whenver she says about where she wants to go, what she wants to do. And finally, she gets to know what will happen in a month.

 This drama consists of twenty-two episodes including the special episode "The Beginning". I didn't finish the drama yet and I am expecting the next story.

New Resolutions;Revolutions on me!

 2015! It is a new bright year!
I am just so happy that I am 15 in Korean age now.

 It was a challenge for my family to let me study in the US.
I came here because I wanted to be a global person. I have a desire to be a big person.
In short, the reason that I have come here is to LEARN A LOT and to TRY A LOT OF NEW THINGS.

 I used my first semester of 8th grade to make a lot of friends and to let myself adapt to life here.
In 2015, I have some resolutions, and these are 3 big resolutions:

 First, I hope to study super hard, so I can raise my history grade. To achieve this, I will study history for an hour everyday even if there's no homework. I think this will be the first step for setting this goal. Also, I will make flashcards for every quiz and test.
 Second, I will control myself well. Like, I will try hard to wake up at 6:30 everyday, and also, I won't watch YOUTUBE a lot, so that I can use the time to study.
 Last, I want to learn new languages. These days, I am very interested in Russian. So I will study hard to do. Also, after I graduate from ELL, I want to take Chinese as a foreign language and to study Spanish on my own.

I hope I can fully achieve my resolutions.


Good Luck to me!!
