spring break

Including weekends, almost 10days are spring break; it’s awesome because there is no spring break during semester in Korea. I think it is good idea because many students are already exhausted with too much homework and test. It will be useful time to recover their and my energy.

                Since I am an international student here, this vacation is also great time to go trip. So, I am planning to go San Francisco. When I was in Korea, I was really looking forward to going there. I think this vacation is chance to go San Francisco, so I and my friend decide to go from March 26 to 30. We are supposed to go Union Square, Telegraph Hill, Golden Gate Bridge, and Fisherman’s Warf. I heard that March and April are the best season for going there.

                Also, March 30 is my homestay mom’s birthday. It is first time I can congratulate her birthday. I really expect to make her surprise.  When I first came here, there was my birthday on January 31, I expected anything from my family, but they held surprising party to me. It makes good memory in my mind, so I’d really like to return my touching to her.

                I think this vacation will be very happy time and memorable time in my life, and it can be. Until that, I will concentrate on my study, and enjoy my school life

my story

 I have one little doggy which I’ve raised for 6 years. She is really lovely and cute, and she likes to look at my face. When she is looking at me, it seems that she is a human not an animal.



 Also, whenever she needs something, for example there is shelf put her snacks; she pulls my arm and takes me to the shelf. It is really cute, but I used to think I really want to make her speak.



 Actually, I can’t figure out whether she is sick or not, so I can’t take care of her well and don’t know which medicine do her take it. One day, I saw one woman who can talk with animals. She could find all problems that the animals have like missing their family, depression, and hurt mind.


 I was really surprised about animals also can think and be hurt. So, if my doggy can speak I’d like to ask “do you love me?”, and I really want to here “yes I really love you” from her.  

my diary

  People mostly have a problem in their mind, and usually want to share it with others. However there are not many chances to talk their worry with others because it is too private in some cases, and it might be a big opportunity to change my life.

  Before coming here, I was really concerned about weather going to America or staying Korea for graduating school. It gave lots of stress to me, and I didn’t know which is better. So, one day I met a friend who already has been to the America and I wanted some good advice from her. Actually that day, my mind is leaning toward going graduating school in Korea. After meeting her, however, I decide to go abroad firmly. She advised to me that if I go to America you will get a broad perspective and improve your listening skill. Also, there will be other chance to go graduating school but no chance to go abroad anymore.

  If I made a decision alone, I would stay in Korea. However, thanks to her advice, I could make a better decision. Sometimes, even if he or she is younger than me, they can be great adviser. Don’t have trouble in decision making alone. Share with your friends, parents, and professors.  

I love hamburger!

When I think about American food, hamburger comes up in my mind firstly. Hamburger is not only famous food in the America, but it gives a big impact for me. There are lots of fast food franchises from U.S such as Mc Donald, Wendy, INnOUT, and Burger king which can buy many kinds of hamburger. Especially, these days, Mc Donald is expanded all over the world.

 Hamburger is convenient for many people to eat fast, and it is also very delicious, so lots of USA people eat hamburger 2~3 times a week or more. The people around the world usually point out the reason of American obesity is because of the hamburger.

 However, each hamburger contains meat, bread, vegetable, and cheese which are necessary for our nutrition system. Then, why do many American have trouble in overweighting? I think it is for side menu with hamburger. When we order the hamburger, we don’t usually order only burger. Instead, we order the burger with French fries and coke. French fries fry in oil, and Coke contains lots of sugar. Rather than hamburger, side dish adds calories more.

Nowadays, many hamburger franchises are built in the world, and They occur many bad health problem either. However, instead of blaming high calories, we should choose our diet wisely.

my story3

There is a famous quote “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” It is similar as the situation that is a cup filled with a half of water. When the pessimist first sees the glass, they might think the water only leave half. On the other hand, optimist think there is enough a glass of water. It makes a big difference.

 In my case, I am actually a little pessimist. When something happen to me like taking a test, choosing classes, and selecting a part-time job, I always consider the worst situation. My mother told me that it influences your health badly and gives you lots of stress. However, I don’t think having pessimism is bad. It helps us to prepare.

 Usually, having new opportunity makes someone feel exited, so they might decide impatiently; pessimist might decide the final decision through consistent consideration.
