Birthiday

Today is my birthday. Nobody called me untill 3 o`clock. When my friends called me after three o`clock, I talked them for 10 minutes or more and when I saw my e-mail I got 100 of it which was from Japanese friends. I didn't feel that today was my birthday because when I was a middle school student I was in dormitory. In my school, we have a really big free board which shows everyone's birthday so, we can check when students birthday are and we grandly celebrated.

Movie

Today, I went Woodbridge High School to work on a group history projects. We have to collect and edit news from internet. It is group work and we have four Japanese, aVietnamese girl, and a French guy. We have an agreement to meet AT 4:00 But NOBODY CAME TO THE PLACE except four Japanese......
After 30 minutes two late guys came and bought the video.
But I thought people from France or Vietnam are laid back!!

Help me Dad.

Today, I asked Dad how to change my study habit that I tend to do homework sloppy as I wrote yesterday. He thought about it for a long time and gave me an answer. First I should make files to order homework, Second I should clean up my room, Third .... oh I forgot.

Anyway, they make my brain put all the homework taht I did last time in organize my homework and also will make me smart.

So, my room and my homework are now shining!!!

SAAAAAAD

I felt so bad today because I went to cram school and took my class. When my teacher checked my homework, she said your homework is terrible and it's messy. And she also told me "you have to do your homework correctly and exactly." I knew it and am trying to do better.
After I went home when I told my parents what she said, they told me so many things that I can't remember and it was like hell. I should sleep now (9:00).

Let me think

I was doing a SAT practice test at home. I think it would be easy if it were in Japanese but, of course it is not Japanese and the tricky questions make me crazy. So, when I don't understand questions, I always ask my dad but he doesn't give me a time to think about it because after he explained it, he answers himself so after I hear his explanation, I always run away from Dad with the text books and do it myself. But, he doesn't like it.

IVC →I am Very Crazy!

Today, I went to IVC to take ESL class which is summer school because I wanted to study English more. Actually my tutor will leave Irvine to San Clemente, so I have to find a new class. Anyway, I went there and took class but it was easy or what we did today was easy. So, I asked the teacher whether I could have a extra homework or not. He said "Are you crazy????" I was like "I'm used to hearing it." Oh, I think I am getting crazy, am I?

Should I focus on one thing?

Strange

Last time, I add posted a diary but It didn't show and I feel so sad because I was able to make a good story I think.

Anyway, the 26th is the best day that I've ever had because I went to L-san's big home with family and we had a really good time with L-san friends and family. When I ate a hamborger, I was really happy because I've never eaten a humberger in someone's home, so it was a nice experience.

Sucks on the TEST

Today, I took a SAT math test and as you know, I didn't get a good score on it. 29 out of 55!!!!!!?????? I should die!!!!!! I can't read ENGLISH!!!!!!!!!! I lost my cofidence because after I finished taking the test at the ENA cram school, a ENA teacher said you have to study more. Then, I thought that I shouldn't sleep and need to study stay up until a step before death. Who can help me to improve English skills and make me smart?

I dicided to stay up at 11:00 and get up at 5:00.
I want to read, write, speak, and listen fluently. Because I love ENGLISH.
I don't want to lose to anyone!!!!!!!!!!

My hobbies

Today, I though about what my hobby is and I realized that I don't have one. So, I thought about what I like to do that I always do or something. Anyway, I wasn't able to find it. However, when I study English every day and getting better step by step, it makes me excited or fun.
When I was a middle school student, I didn't study a lot because I was bisy to play tennis. So, I regret that I didn't study.

Annoying

My mom yells every day and it makes me annoyed. I hate ot! I don't remember when I stared to hate my mom. When we came to America and she had some troubles, I used to listen her complain. But now I don't want to listen anymore!!!!! She is like QUACKING next to my ear. 50% of my tiredness is from her and I always think when can I stay home without parents.

Sturving

As you know, I had a STAR test yesterday. I want to tell what happened after the test. At 12:15, the test was over and I walked home to spend 40 minutes. When I was walking home, I called mom who went to Korean market which is far from my home. I asked "When are you going to go home?" She said "Maybe 1:15." Then, I hung up the phone but I didn't realize that I forgot to bring my key. When I arrived home, it was 12:45 and I thought she would come back soon. BUT she didnt! I called her many times, but she turned off the phone. OH, MY GOSH! I'm going to starve to death. Anyway, she arrived home at 2:00.

STORY about friend

I have a Korean friend because many Koreans hate me ,so I have just one Korean friend who always eat lunch with and has the same classes with me. BUT, he always tells me "you are loser, bitch, and shot up dumb. " These are nice words. When I heard them first time, I didn't ccare, but I'm getting irritated about it because he told me them 10 times or more in the each periods!!! I wanted to say F word to him but I was nice boy s0, I was patient. I still has a grudge against him, so today he didn't bring lunch and tried to eat my lunch. But I said "why are you tring to eat lunch without asking?" He said "Because it's mine" But, I replied "Loser doesn't want to give you luch." He responed "OK. you are not loser." Finally, he didn't tell me loser but he is still saying bitch and dumb. continue.........

Monday

Today, I have a STAR test which is a California standardized test, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I took it and I did my best. These tests are hard for me, so I always use guesses and educated guesses that I explained last time because I didn't know how to prepare for it. When I asked teachers how to review these tests, They asnwer "do your BEST". How can I do my best when I can't even understand the questions!

2008/05/18

Out of the blue

Today, I reviewed for the STAR test. It is so hard to do because I didn't understand the questions and vocabulary. But I was able to get the whole story so, I realized my English has improved.

2008/05/17

Saturday

Today, I didn't do anything because I was tired and sleepy. So I dicided to take a nap and to watch a movie.
From 2:00 ~ 4:00, I played tennis with my brother but he is still not good, so I was bored. I hope he will be get better soon.

2008/05/16

Battery

I always forget to charge my phone battery, so I can't bring it to school and mom always gets irritated about it.

2008/05/15

Depression

Everything is getting worse because I expect too much. I know people can't skip these steps which means I have to learn English step by step. BUT, why do my expectation is too high and why do I want to get 100% on the tests??? Because I love to learn English, so I can study more than other people (I can do more) however, I don't get better grades than them. I'm in quicksand.

2008/05/14

Pronouciation

Every day, I learn new words and I always use those. So, I have a problem: I don't know how to pronounce exactly. I can't say "year" or bother. When I said "bother" to my teacher, he said "boader??". I didn't say taht!!! But many people hear it because of my pronounciation........... I need more practice.

Even though, I studied so hard, I didn't get good grades. I'm learning English like a baby in English life. I want to know how the baby grow up faster.

Sunday

Sunday was Mothers' day so, we went to a Japanese cafe with family. We had a lot of food and coffee and had a good time.

2008/05/11

Educated Guess

Today, I took a practice test with my friend and I got 75% and he got 85% on it. When I asked him "How come you got a good score?" He said "It's like an educated guess." What the heck is that? I've never heard it before. And I didn't get even it was joke.

I don't feel bad again because it's the same as the previous one.

2008/05/10

Upset

I can't understand everything that they did because they made me upset and were selfish. Is it ok that even though they told me crazy things, they didn't apologize. I realized 70% of people are selfish.........

The best way to learn ENGLISH!

Today, some of my friends taught me new vocabulary which is fag, faggot(I'm not sure about the spelling), superfluouos, and garrulous(????). I got those meanings and how to use them. When I learned those, I decided to ask new vocabulary everyday of every single person! So, it is going to be like if I ask new words to 10 friends everyday, after a month, I will learn three-thousand words and after a year, thirty-six thousand words. I can be smart! LOL

Last day

Today, I finished taking the tests for this week, but I don't feel good because you know it, right? Every teacher tells me that you need to study English for 3 years or more, if you want to be good at it. But, if I want to get the good grades right now, what should I do, because I don't want to make excues about why I don't have the good grages.

2008/05/07

Rebuke!

My family is in a tornado. We complained to each other because there are too many things going. So, I want to go somewhere and review for tests. Oh, how come they are noisy?

2008/05/05

Yesterday!

Yesterday, I took the History Test and English Tests. I studied really hard and I always get up at 5 o'clock and I go to bed at 11 o'clock. Guess What?? The tests were horrible!!!!!!!! When I started to take the tests up, I wanted to tear the tests. Now, I got over it.

2008/05/04

Reading problems

I read an English book, then I translated it in just 20~25 sentences. I was able to do it corectly, but I couldn't understand it. I don't know the reasons yet.

2008/05/03

Why am I so busy ??

Today, I realized that I'm so busy because I have to do a lot of homework and reviewing for tests. And I want to read books but it's impossible! How can I make additional time? Should I do homework noncommitally?

2008/05/02

My imagination

Today, I took a easy English test but I only got 2 out of 5 which causes are my imagination. When I read the sentences, I was able to understand them but when I read the questions, I wasn't able to understand them actually, I didn't read carefully so, I tend to skip unimportant words and I make original sentences. As the result, the easy test is going to be hard! But I'm glad to notice them and I may get a good score at the SAT and TOEFL.

2008/05/01

Busy

I don't think I am busy but I don't have time to do anything like I couldn't study effectively. What should I do??
