Top 20 things/stuff that annoys me 1. People who beg for lunch 2. Girls singing in the bus 3. My younger sister that never pays back my money 4. All insects 5. A Macbook that would lag every time I connect to the school server 6. Elementary school kids that are always asking things about my Macbook 7. People in the subway that are lecturing me for pushing an adult 8. The sound of somebody scratching the blackboard with their nails 9. show-offs 10. Otakus who watch Japanese comic and animations their whole life 11. People acting cute 12. Mom always lecturing me about computer uses 13. Dad scorning me because of my grades. 14, Friends that always punch me in the stomach for no specific reason 15. Uncomfortable bed 16. Nasty food like oatmeal 17. Crumbled papers that would never make it in when I throw it. 18. Teachers who give me detentions because of talking. 19. People taking my stuff 20. High schoolers that act cool but are just disturbing

Most of the students in KIS are riding the school bus. I myself, also ride the school bus. People in the buses do a lot of things. We do homework, study for tests, talk, sleep. However, some students have fun in the bus, such as listening to music, playing games, and etc. I don't mind any of these, but unfortunately, there are actually people in my bus that sings while listening to music. These people are usually kindergardeners, or some 8th grade girls. Every time I try to do something, they would extremely disturb me by their terrible sining. They usually listen to Korean pop music, so it gets very loud. I am glad that the kindergardeners stopped sining nowadays, for some reason. For other people, not only this is very loud and disturbing, but this is also ill-mannered and impolite.

**Journal Entry 2** Write a paragraph about a girl named Dot, but use no letters with i or j. Dot was an old woman that always was aloof from the rest of the people on Earth. She was never seen at daytime, and she moved around occasionally, usually for her supply and food. Sometimes when people see her for community service or any other things they needed to have her approval, she was always sitting in her chair, next by the warm radiator, where the old woman would ignore anybody. Poor woman, she died last week of a car accident while she was going to the mart for supplies. Nobody came to the funeral, because anybody barely knew her, except the owner of the market.

Journal Entry 3 Don't ask where I am, because I'm still stuck in Massachusetts for four days looking at boarding schools. Most of my schools are located in Massachusetts, so there were not much traveling as I expected. Still, we do far more traveling than we do in Seoul, since in Seoul, everything we need are around the cities, and it does not require such long traveling. Although I am haggard and worn out, I still get only four hours of sleep every night because I am having a hard time getting adjusted to the time here. When Massachusetts is 1pm, Seoul would be 3am, so it is always challenging to get used to this place easily. Tomorrow, I am finally leaving Massachusetts to Connecticut, where I would check out some more schools. I am waiting for Sunday to come, since I would go visit my aunt in New York City, and I'll have a day off and wait for the time we'll arrive to Seoul again.

Poem (dew)

A small leaf is a victim of the storm The storm fills the empty night with fear and chaos While all the others look out for safety, The stubborn leaf endures such danger

After hanging on for its own sake, The leaf is finds its peace, And what is left are crystal clear dew

Contrast The tree is a lot bigger The leaf is part of a tree

Socrates' meaning "Man's life is like a drop of dew on a leaf." I think this means that a man's life is very short, but very meaningful.

Journal 4 Close your eyes briefly. Think of one object that’s in the room and focus on it without opening your eyes, recall as much detail as you can about it. After three minutes or so, open your eyes and write about that object without looking at it. (This exercise was done in class and timed.)

The desk in the classroom is very smooth. It has a smooth surface, and the support is made of metal. The wooden surface is wooden and brown, and it is not too dark. It is not too wide nor not too long, but just enough for three to four A4 papers to fit in. The length between the desk and the floor is long enough for there to be space even after putting the legs in.

I don't know where the other onions right now, since I was dragged out of my new storage here. I'm not sure I'll be here for so long, since the giant man is now approaching to me, while I'm lying here with many other vegetables, about to be chopped into slices.

Nobody might notice, but I'm still trembling more than ever.

My room is a place where I live, rested, studied, and slept during my past two years. I do love my room, but I would like to make more changes to my room. I have a medium sized bed in the center of my room. On the left of my bed, I have a big window that takes up all the space for the left wall. To the right of my bed, I have closet, where I have tons of clothes that are from all kinds of brands. In the front, I have a huge shelf that takes up a whole wall. It contains books, gifts, finished work, yearbooks, and lots of souvenir that from all over the world while I was traveling. If I were to make changes about my room, I would have lots of posters on my wall, which are posters of my favorite singers (Girl's Generation), my favorite soccer player Lionel Messi, and movies. I would also like to have some audio that I can play music, since I love listening to music.

Journal Entry 7

Fatima is a girl next door that I know. I do not know much about her, but I know one sure thing; she is spoiled. Because her parents are rich, she seems to get everything state-of -art when something new comes out. She already has a new computer, and she is going to get an iPad as soon as it comes out. Now, she’s sixteen, and yesterday was her birthday. She had a very bad day, because of her present. From long ago since 15, she was always longing to buy and drive an expensive car, like BMW or a Maserati. However, despite her persuasion, her parents thought it was way to expensive and that might spoil her even more. When she finally found out, she was raging, and her face was red, like the hot lava after a volcanic explosion. Everything was now in a mess. She just kicked things around and she yelled at her father, enough for our family to hear. Even the Lewis’ two houses away complained for the screaming. What was even worse, we could actually hear what she was saying. She also locked the door for a day, eating the junk food she has been hiding for a month. After her mom and dad finally decided to calm her down, she then unlocked the door and came out.

Journal Entry 8 Write a paragraph about a cat attacking something, but don't use the words hiss, scratch, or pounce.

Our next door neighbor raises a cat. Its name is Muschi, and it very malicious, since it attacks every single person it sees. Last time, it left a scar on my arm, which seems as if it will stay permanently. As it sees unfamiliar people, it growls to intimidate the person. It suddenly leaped a distance, and trying to hurt me. As I threw a doll to distract it, it clawed and ripped the new doll apart, making it haggard and ripped.

Journal Entry 9 Describe what you feel right now using your sense of smell. If you feel frustrated, write about what your frustration smells like. Use vivid words. Don't skimp on adjectives.

A smell of perfume and sweat surrounds my nose and senses. It is very familiar, due to the perfume from girls, which they spray all day. I can smell sweat from boys, including myself, sweltering from the heat from the heater, that is located right above me. These strong, compelling smell nearly makes my nose insensitive of other smells.

By the time he came home, he was all worn out after the excessive running in physical education. When he came home, he saw a torn page that his mother must have left before she went out somewhere. It read, "Tom, by the time you get back from school, you'll have to help me shop some things, because I cannot carry around all the things I buy." Tom was grumpy again, calling his mother with anger and blame. She was outside, just arrived with her car fixed. Despite his strong opposition and excuses, he was forced to go and push carts around.

is there a cause you care about a lot? How far would you go to stand up for what you believe?

I think the I cause I care about is the global warming. Although many people think it won't affect us until we die, it still will. Many people warn us about this, but not much people take this seriously. I wasn't interested in this until last year, when I started to volunteer for community services. I've seen many things around that were polluted by us. I want to support this cause,
