Ending the Year of 2009-2010 !

Finally, school for next week and then it’s summer break. I can’t imagine how fast this year has gone. It feels like I was anxious and nervous for sophomore year was yesterday and I’m already finishing this year. In the beginning of August until winter, I went through some rough times. School was just pain for me and extreme loneliness was always with me. But that motivated me to focus more on academics and my GPA improved compare to last year. However, I would never want to go through that period again. Furthermore, last winter was especially colder and tougher. I had my first snow-day and H1N1 break. I think I grew a lot this sophomore year, mentally. Even though everything was not easy and numerous obstacles there were, now I thank those moments for making me a stronger person. Unfortunately, when I look back on my life this year, I only think of unhappy moments. BUT I am a very optimistic person and believe that next year is going to be fantastic and next next year will be the most awesome year ever in high school. Time flies and sometimes it’s scary and creepy. I don’t know which college I’m going to go and what kind of job I will have, or what kind of person I will be. However, there is one thing for sure. It might sound a little cliche but I believe my dream will guide me to the right way. This is a very priceless lesson that I learned through many experiences this year. Like I said, next year is going to be fantastic. Every summer I wonder what kind of drama will happen. Hopefully, this summer is full of happy events and my junior year will be like that too. It feels good to know step by step who I really am. I am exploring my own life.

Climate Change…

Last year around mid-May, it wasn’t this awful, it was beautiful. I mean you know how much I love summer if you look back at my previous posts, but the weather is not helping me these days! I don’t know what to where when because weather’s so whimsical! I heard tomorrow it’s going to rain…another sigh… It was fine for couple of days, but you don’t know when it’ll change again! I don’t know how and when Korea’s weather became like this. But still I’m trying to enjoy every moment of my life and think positively! YAY

Brighton Beach Memoirs!

As this was my first time working as a set designer, I expected a lot of difficulties and hardships getting my job done. However, with the help of other members of the crew and actors, and especially Mr. Johnson, we have finished our last drama production of this year well. Last Friday was my first and last time watching the play. As a staff, you might wonder why that was my first time watching the whole play, but that’s the reality. That Friday was amazing! Actors were so good! It was like way above my expectations. Furthermore, at the end when we bowed to the audience I felt thrill and belonging bond that I haven’t felt for such a long time. If I get a chance, I would really like to participate in drama production again! And I have to say that the play itself was great. It is the best play in KIS ever! It was such a precious experience.

DRAMA

OMG. Sujin, Lisa, and I are set designers for school play. We never thought that we had to labor so much as set designers. Anyways, we went to school yesterday to set up basic sets and it was over the top. I mean, we had so much problems than we thought we would have. We painted the panels, pasted wall paper, and cleaned up everything when we were done. I mean, there are not many things to list, but there were major. But I still had fun while we were doing it. We got a lot of help from other members of the crew. Everything was so new to me. Even though I’m an art student, I’ve never painted with paint and never pasted wallpaper. It was fun. It was my first time. I’m not sure if I want to do that again, but it was worth doing it.

Learning=)

I hate learning things that are complicated and unwanted. However I like learning what I love. Taking art classes, some science classes, flute lessons, squash lessons, and even school PE classes are full of fun! Learning from teachers is very good, but people also need to learn things by themselves. That’s why I feel proud of myself when I learn something from my own experiences. So what I like about learning is that every time I learn something I feel like I’m growing up. Filing my brain with knowledge is awesome, but what is more awesome that just knowledge is life lessons. The greatest sources of life lessons for me are my mom, my experiences, and sometimes books.

My Biggest Weakness…

There is no single person that is perfect on earth. All people live with their weaknesses and mistakes through their lives. As one of them, I, also have a lot of weaknesses and have made mistakes. Wait, let me rephrase the sentence that I just wrote. I don’t have “a lot” of weaknesses-I mean I do have some but I don’t think I have a lot, at least I hope so. Anyways, I think my biggest weakness is not being straightforward when I should be. I say what I think is right directly to the person I’m talking to most of the time. However, when it comes to a major decision or event, I’m not! Sometimes I just can’t stand myself being so stupid and doing nothing. I really really want to fix this weakness. I really do want to get rid of this stupid flaw in my life!

WHAT DO I LOVE???

I don’t know… I like many things but when someone asks me what I love then I cannot answer. I like a lot of things. I like clothes, music, art, flute, guitar, candles, Adam Brody, movies, science recently (LOL), and… french fries, hot dogs, pizzas, ice cream, tacos… arg! SO MANY THINGS TO LIKE! But I doubt what I really love. I love peace sign! Okay, that’s the one thing I love so far. I love my family and friends. Oh, I love TOMS! They are the best shoes ever. They are pretty and meaningful. I love summer! I can’t wait till summer comes. I want to go to swimming pool, beaches, hang out with my friends, and shop. I love to shop like all people do. I know all people do. They just pretend they don’t like it. Hmm… but funny thing is that I have never fallen in love with someone. Well I’ve had so many crushes in my life but I never really had a deep relationship. Whatever. My GPA is more important right now. Oh, and I love to eat! I feel so happy when I’m eating so delicious food. Last summer, my friend and I went to all kinds of restaurants and had some awesome meals! I want to do that this summer too. Lastly, I love art. I love design. Industrial Design. These days I’m kind of sick of all art but I have gone too far. No matter what art is what I’m going to do in the future and what I want to do the most and can enjoy. Also, that’s what I’m going to do for living. So… I just have to love it and I do love it!…..hehe………….

Oh! I forgot! I LOVEEEE Bentley and Audi and Range Rover. They are my dream cars. ;p

3 Freakin Awesome Blogs!

Brian!

I was surprised by how regularly he updates his blog. I especially liked his second post, the one about rock climbing. The picture he attached was quite interesting and he seemed really enthusiastic about it. Oh! by the way he is in my PE class. Plus his posts about swimming team and Yuna Kim caught my eyes. He is a sporty person. wow.

Megan!

Megan cannot be excluded in our English class. Her blog was somehow similar to Jay’s. They shared common interest: cartoon. Well since cartoon is not my thing, it was very very interesting to look at her blog. She also posted poems which I thought she was influenced by the two poets who recently visited our school. Reading her blog posts made me feel like she has passion for something and I would like to support that.

Elise!

WAT-UP! Her blog is… full of fun! and full of things! It was looking at a piece of collage or something. She had all sorts of things on her blog, but they all created harmony and were so “her”. I also regretted a lot after looking at her blog. My blog was blank compare to hers. It is always good to insert many images and visuals and Elise rocked it! Yea! Usually a blog represents someone and this blog totally represent Elise. Wow! Keep up the work girl! There are people out there who are eager to see your new post!

ART II Class!

In my Art II class, there are only five students including me. Thanks god four of them are sophomore girls and only one person is a junior guy. At first, it was really really awkward. No one said something funny; no one even opened their mouth. At that time I was having a bad cold so the main problem with me was holding coughs. Oh god. That was horrible. But after getting to know each other little by little, I hope we’ve become closer. So… we talk… talk very little. But that’s a HUGE improvement. Okay. What I’m learning in my art class is applying all kinds of art techniques to compose a master piece of medical art! Right now, mine’s not going the way I expected but I’m never going to give up. Plus, this is a good sign for me because bad start means good ending to me. I wish we can still continue to have more fun in art class. LOVE it!

CHIPS

This is what happened few seconds ago. I was eating some chips one hour ago, and then I was another bag of chips opened in the kitchen. So I took several of them with me and typed the title “CHIPS”. I tried my best to resist them, but I brought the whole bag before I started to write this post. Right now, I’m eating at 10:23 night. These days, I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I just can’t stop eating. I’m not even hungry! Then why am I eating?! Today’s post is meant to be funny and meaningless, because sometimes I just love the meaningless fun. Okay, anyways, Chips. For the past four days, I have been a couch potato. Eating chips and watching The Mentalist and The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Yay. Surprisingly school is helping me with cutting chips. The cafeteria has only two kinds of chips. Both of them, healthy chips. Ironically, people don’t feel eating healthy chips or french fries (when they are meant to be unhealthy and salty) as happy as when they eat the bad ones. Urg, this post is going into the wronng direction. Maybe because of too much chips? Hmm I don’t know. I hope the next one is way better.
