presentation

I did a presentation in class yesterday. My pesentation went like this.....

Do you have a past experience in which you feel you have played your role differently?

Well, I have one to share!
Here’s my story…
            When I was 14 years old, I was chosen to run in my school  relay, which was the last and the most important for my class to win on the field day. I really did not want to run because I was shy but my classmates said that I could run fast so I should run. Nobody listened to me and nobody could understand me, so I ran away from school. I thought I would never go back to school again. However, my friends came to my house and said that I did not have to run anymore because one of my classmates would run instead of me. I was relieved so I went to school the next day. However, the person who was supposed to run instead of me told me that she did not want to run because she could not run fast like me. I gave in and decided to run. On the field day, I was reluctant to run. I could run fast but I did not do so. Perhaps, I wanted revenge this way because my classmates were forcing me to run. The anchor of my class ran very fast, so she outstripped 2 runners. While running, she was crying because she really wanted to win. When I saw her crying, her tears communicated themselves to me. Suddenly, I realized that I made an irrevocable decision. I was ashamed of myself and regretted my irresponsible action.

This event taught me how I should live. Since then, I have become responsible for my actions. I have learned that even if I am reluctant to do something, I should try my best. This way I would not regret that it could have been different if I would have tried.

 I enjoyed doing my presentation. One of my classmates said that I would be an good English teacher, so I was happy!!

Happy Birthday!

Yesterday was Rica's birthday. First of all, we went to Rica's room in the morning and celebrated with a pot of flowers, a balloon, and a small cake. She was surprised and asked us when we prepared the presents. At night, we went to the courtyard with a big cake, orange juice and some snacks. We invited our classmates and waited for Rica. Rica was surprised again, but looked happy. Then, Niisha and three chinese girls came and joined the party. We were sure that we had a really good time yesterday!

library

When I am in my room, I cannot focus on my studies. I can eat some food and listen to music etc. However, in the library, I can concentrate on my study. It is quiet and the books scent the library. The only thing that I want to complain about is the temperature of the library. It is too cold for me, and I have to bring my cardigan. Otherwise, I will die of coldness. ((>-<)))

disco

Rica, Shiho, Alex Po, Niisha, Sasha, and I went to Lei' s room yesterday. We talked about shopping, and Niisha said that she would kiss the frog tomorrow after drinking alcohol. She would marry the frog and Alex Po would be a flower girl. I enjoyed listening to their story. Sasha took many pictures of us. Afterwards, Niisha became DJ, and we danced together!

Today, I woke up at 1 p.m. (><) I have to study for the final test!!

oil shock!

While Majed was driving his car, he told me about his country, Saudi Arabia. Many people living in Saudi Arabia practice polygamy, so if he wants to have four wives, he can. Not only did he come to America for free but he also did not pay the tuition because his government paid for him. He can go back to his country and come back to America for free once a year. He even gets a salary each month. According to him, any Saudi Arabian can study abroad for free and get salary from the government. I was shocked and could not believe with his story. Anyway, thank you for telling and driving, Majed^^

citibank

 The citibank cards were supposed to arrive at our university two weeks ago. However, there was a problem with Shiho's mail box, so we could not get the cards. We asked the bank staff to send the cards to the citibank last week, and finally we got the cards today! Thank you for driving, Majed!

languages

I played racquetball with Lei, and we counted how many times our rallies kept going for. I learned how to count one to ten in Chinese and Lei learned this in Japanese. Lei goes to the gym almost every day, so she has improved playing racquetball. We can rally over ten times, so we have to learn how to count numbers greater than ten.

Scale

I went to the gymnasium to take yoga class, but the teacher did not show up again. However, I met an American woman in the restroom and she showed me how to use the scale. From now on, I will be able to check my weight.

Russian facebook

I created the Russian equivalent of facebook account. According to Alex Po, I can watch and listen to videos and music on this site. I do not how to use it yet, but I will figure it out.

piano

Mikhail said that he bought a piano, and would bring it to our romantic room. However, I did not believe him because he lies a lot. He came and showed the piano to me. Although it was small, I was surprised that he really bought the piano. It can produce 100 kinds of tones. I enjoyed playing it. Thank you and yellow blue bus, Mikhail.

Rica's room

Rica held a party yesterday. Rica's room is usually messy but she cleaned it before the party started. We had a good time. Thank you, Rica!
One day, when Shiho and I wanted to enter Rica's room, Rica refused. Shiho and I were sad, you know?
However, we had a plan! We waited for Rica to open the door in front of her room. We thought this plan would work, but in the end Rica realized that we were there because she peeked out from the peephole. We will manage to enter your messy room someday. Be prepared, Rica!

dance and romantic party!

I danced with OG, Mikhail and Niisha on Sunday August 7. I have never danced with somebody before, but really enjoyed dancing. Rika told me that OG is  sexier than I am. hahaha
Alex Po and I held a romantic room party on Wednesday August 10. We invited OG, Mikhail, Lei, Rika, Shiho, and Dyvia. We listened to music and sang songs without light. After that, we went outside and sat on the bench at 2 am.
I will never forget both of the nights' events.

Let's go Mets!!

I went to a baseball game with my classmates! Some my classmates made a paper plane on the bus, and I learned how to make one, too. When I arrived at the stadium, I felt like I was in a video game. The screen displayed the words 'make noise', so I yelled. My classmates were surprised with my loud voice. I do not know much about baseball, but dreamt to go to a baseball game in America because saw an animation about the Major Leagues. Unfortunately, the Mets lost the game 3 to 2.

At a dorm

Shiho and I stayed in our dorm, and watched music videos on You Tube. Then, we made a plan to go to Niagara Falls and go to Japanese restaurants. I cannot wait!!

Karaoke Party!

I had a karaoke party yesterday. Lei, Shiho, Alex Po and Rika came to my room and we sang and listened to a lot of music. We watched Japanese, Chinese and Russian TV idols on You Tube. I found that each country has different views on the idols. Russian girls like men who are a man. Japanese girls like boys who are cute. Chinese girls like... I cannot describe! Sorry(><)

Bananas

I put bananas in my fridge but they became black! I think that bananas mellow easier when they are in the fridge.

Chocolate

Shiho and I tasted different types of chocolates. Shiho's chocolate was melted, so we ate it with spoons.

I bought a refrigerator.

Majed drove his car for my friends and I to the Path mark. I am very happy to have a fridge in my room!!

Basketball

Shiho is good at playing basketball and she taught me how to play it. Thank you, Shiho!
