[Post 38] Talking with my friends.

I am so happy today, because I talked with my Korean friends. I feel more comfortable to talk with Korean friends than foreign friends, because of the language. And today, I got a call from one of my Korean friends. I and he talked about the memory of our past life, ,and nowadays life, and so on. We talked about an hour!
Few minutes later, one of my high school friends called me, too. She is now in Japan to study, so we have not meet for almost about two years.  We made an oral promise to meet in both the United States and Japan. Whenever I talk with my friends, I get relaxed, and at the same time, get energy from them. So I love talking with my friends, and I miss them all!

[Post 37] Miss my mommy.

I came to the United States for about one and a half year ago with my parents. However, I have two older sisters, and they couldn't come here with us, because of their jobs. For this and some other reasons, my mother visits Korea once a year for about a month or more. And this is the time that she is in Korea, and I and my fater stays in Greenville house. Before she went to Korea, she made foods and put them in the frizer for me and my father. And I talk with mother on the phone almost every day. Furthermore, I actually can take more with my friends and myself, too. However, I miss my mother, because she is like one of my friends. I sometimes take counsel with her about my great and small worries,and so on. Therefore, I just miss my mommy..

[Post 36] Summer vacation in MIAMI.

Last year I was taking English as a Second Language(ESL) program at AUM. So, I have several foreign friends who are from Columbia, Spain, Italy, Japan, China, and so on. I enjoyed with them to talk about their culture, language, and so on. However, one of my Colombian friend, Nia, was one of my best friend. So, we were planning to go to Miami for 2009 summer vacation, where some of her friends stayed there. It was happened suddenly and accidentally. However, it was fantastic!! I met almost more than ten of her Colombian friends, learned Spanish slightly, enjoyed fireworks of July the forth, ate delicious foods, went to beach... I couldn't list in all. I also met one of my ESL instructor, who went to Miami to study. I couldn't imagine that it will happen to me in my whole life, however, it happened. And I couldn't forget about the memory of Miami and I miss all of my friends!!

[Post 35] the movie "CLOSER"

One of my favorite movies is "Closer", which is included by romance genre. It has four main characters, which are Natalie Portman, Julia Roberts, Jude Law, and Clive Owen. This film shows what the love is through four main characters. At the first time, it was difficult to understand the movie. The movie is trying to tell the true love through changes of the four maincharacters' mind. So, if people can't notice the mood swings of them, it could be a boring movie. However, once you know the those things, you might enjoy the movie, and at the same time, you might be attracted to it. Furthermore, the background musics are so good, such as the blower's daughter of Damien Rice. For this, I love the movie "Closer", and I highly recommend to anyone who did not watch this movie yet!

[Post 33] Listening Music.

I have few ways to relieve stress, however, listening music is one of the most effective way for me. I love to listen music, so I always have a mp3 player and a cable in my car, and a mp3 player and a speaker in my room. By means of those equipment, I enable to relieve my stress more easily. In my case, listening music loudly is my real stress buster! Whenever I listen music with a loud volume, I can able to not to think about my stresses, but listening music. Form these circumstance, my stresses are gone away. For this, I sometimes like to go to a club, which always has a good music with extremely loud volume, to relieve stresses, too!

[Post 32] I want to go to Mountain.

In Korea, there are lots of mountain all over. So it is easy to go to mountain to refresh mind. However, when I was young, I liked to go to beach, however, I hated to climb mountain. I did not know a refreshing mountain atmosphere. And I also could not feel the achievement at the top of a mountain. I just thought that "I could not understand why people climb a mountain that they are going to come down!!" By the way, I like to go to mountain as I grew older. In the mountain, there are lots of fresh oxygen, since there are many trees. It makes me healthier by inhaling the oxygen. Furthermore, I have never gone to mountain after I cam to the United States. What I could do was going to beach, which is far closer than mountain. For this, I really go to mountain to revitalize my life!

[Post 31] THIS WEEKEND!!

Finally, I had finished my six exams in a week, oh my god!! In this term, I am taking 5 courses and a biology lab. When I had attended a Korean university, I usually took six to seven courses in each term. So, I didn't think that this term will be tough. However, I realized that it is extremely tough to take six exams in week! I was totally exhausted this week. Furthermore, I couldn't eat food as I like, because of my indigestion. I took some sort of digestive medicine, and I can barely endure the exam week. Now I recover my condition, and I finally can enjoy this weekend with my friends and sleep. I can't say how happy I am! I believe that I deserve to this leisurely and happy weekend.

[Post 30] My bad habbit.

Since I was young, I have had a bad habit, which is nail-biting. When I was young, I did not think that it was a bad habit. However, when I saw others, who are nail-biters, I felt that it looked like baby. So I tried to remove the habit, but it was difficult. I was trying to put on manicures, and after that, I could, to a degree, put my bad habit right. However, I still have that habit, when I feel nervous and tension, such as during the exam. When I was in that circumstance, I became a nail-biter unconsciously. So, I am still trying to put that habit right.

[Post 29] My Dream

When I was young, I had various kinds of dream, such as scientist, mathematics instructor, ballet dancer, etc. When I was 4th grade at an elementary school, I wanted to be a scientist. I did not know how big the science fields are. What I knew was I liked to experiment some scientific matters. So, for a few years, I had a dream that I wanted to be a scientist. However, when I became a middle school student, I realized that there are so many kinds of science, such as physics, chemical, biology, etc, and at the same time, I had tough time to learn science subjects. And I also liked to be a mathematics instructor. One of my favorite subject was mathematics, because when I solved the problem, I felt a sense of achievement. And, at the same time, I knew that I can learn from teaching friends. So I wanted to be a mathematics instructor.

[Post 28] Studying Biology...

In terms of studying, I prefer understanding to memorizing. So my favorite subject is mathematics, and I hate biology. However, biology is one of the core courses at AUM, so I cannot help taking a biology course in this semester. Studying biology is pretty difficult as expected, so I usually search the Internet. By the aid of the Internet, all I need is just several clicks of a mouse to gather answers. If I go to the professor's office, I should make an appointment. However, I can get information of biological problems through the Internet whenever and wherever I want. I can save time, and at the same time, I can realize the way of studying.

[post 27] English language skill.

As I am a college student who studies abroad, in the United States, I believe that English language skill is very important to students. At first, I might do better in my job area. Today is the age of globalization, and number one common language is English! If I speak fluent English, I might have more opportunities to be assigned an important job, such as contacting with foreign stakeholders. Those important jobs broaden my outlook. Moreover, I can make friends with foreigners easily. Even though I have lived in the United States for about one and a half year, I still have few foreign friends. I think that the most significant reason is that I have less fluency in speaking English. So, I will keep trying to improve my English language skill to success in both private and public social life.

[Post 26] WINTER!!

Winter is coming, and winter is my favorite season. I like its holiday atmosphere. Some of the major holiday are celebrated in winter, such as Christmas and New Year's day. I love to see how all of the stores, houses, and streets are covered with bright and colorful decorations. In addition, the White snow improve its pleasant look. It gives me to feel silence, but simultaneously, pleasure. Furthermore, I look forward to typical winter activities. Not only do I like to watch sports games at home, but I also enjoy winter sports, like skiing and snowboarding. When I am skiing and snowboarding, I feel a sense of thrilling, and at the same time, I could get rid of my stress by speeding up while I am skiing and snowboarding. For these reasons, I have looked forward to come Winter!!

[Post 25] Friends in Facebook

In my Facebook, there are few foreign and Korean friends, and I am not familiar with it. Other than that, I get used to do Cyworld, which is similar to Facebook but made by Koreans. So it is like a Facebook in Korea. In my Cyworld, there are various kinds of friends groups, which are faraway, elementary, middle school, high school, university friends, and some friends of my friends. When I lived in Korea, I had lived in the same town from 5 years old. Therefore, some of my faraway friends are also some of elementary, middle school, and high school friends.  And my high school friends take high possession of my friends.

[Post 24] Too strong cold medicine.

I got a cold few days ago, due to the extreme change of the weather. The temperature has changed drastically, and at the same time, the temperature has many ups and downs day and night. When I had a symptom of cold, I did not take any medicines. However, it was getting worse, so I could not bear but take nasal medicines. I got used to take Korean pills or tablets which are usually less strong than the America's. So, it was too strong to take for me. Therefore, I kept sleeping and drinking water to dilute the effect of the medicine. It took almost a day to regain my energy!! After that, I was getting better from cold, too; however, it was very tough to recover my condition.
