__Manjang Gul Cave:__ wet, cold, dark, sort of loud because of echoes, looked very unique, had to be careful so I wouldn't step in a puddle, had a big fountain near the entrance, very long, had lots of huge puddles that could wet your whole shoe, there were some people who brought a flashlight to light there way while walking __Yeongmeori:__ rode a ride called "Viking", went to a museum that looked like a ship, they sold a candy called "Ggooltarae", sold lots of Jeju harabangs, had a fairly big mountain with temples, there were a lot of big waves in the ocean, they sold lots of hats that were orange, I got nausea while riding "Viking" because I looked back at a friend for an extremely long time, (Sorry... I couldn't think of any more descriptions...) __Observatory:__ lots of interesting constellations, extremely cold outside, had an interesting story indoors, very cool how you could find out your own weight on different planets, learned several new constellations, amazed to see a very big telescope, not all stars and constellations were out for us to see, I saw how stars looked like even better because of the telescopes, I could see stars in a long time because you can't see any stars in the sky in Bundang, the instructor showed us many unique constellations that were up in the sky __Halla Mountain:__ refreshing, lots of rocks, beautiful sky, steep, very hungry and thirsty while climbing, there were two places with spring water, there were lots of (I think) bugs that were making a very annoying sound, it was getting warmer and warmer as I exited the trail with lots of trees, my shoes were all falling apart because it was very thin and weak, it was a burden to always carry my leather jacket (which are very heavy) all the way to the top __Sunrise Peak:__ had a beautiful view, coastline was a very good place to take pictures, there was delicious ice cream at a resting area, tiring hiking up, sort of windy, my friends and I practiced some cheerleading moves (even though I wasn't in cheerleading), (Sorry... I couldn't think of any more descriptions...)
 * __10 Descriptions for 5 Places in Jejudo__

Write in your journal about something you are looking forward to on the field trip.** The "something" that I am looking forward to on the field trip is going to the museums and water park. Also I am anticipated to go on the submarine even though I have been on one. Also, I am happy about having roommates at the hotel. I think it would be a great experience to go to Jejudo with my friends. I would like to see all the things in the museum because they usually carry lots of fun and interesting information. Having roommates is a lot more fun than just staying by yourself.

My favorite quote was "All he knew now was that somehow, tonight, he would become a cave painter". Why? It's because it made me think a lot about it. It was a very strong sentence that would make everyone feel different. //
 * Journal: Find a quote you liked from //Boy of the Painted Cave.// //Explain why you liked it. Post.

Think of a 'snapshot' of something you did over the break. Write a paragraph using t[|hird person point of view.] During Chuseok Break, Sheamin had a sleepover at Daisy's home. There, they went to a convenient store and bought six eggs to eat at home. While eating the eggs, they did Wii Fit. Since they were doing too much of it, they were sweating and had cramps. Therefore, they didn't have to exercise that evening. After they were extremely bored of doing Wii Fit. While Sheamin was playing the Wii game, Daisy was playing her Nitendo DS. That's why instead of doing the same game over and over again, they just relaxed by playing their Nitendo games. Then, they ate dinner with the rest of the family. They all ate pork, some vegetables (such as cucumber, salad, garlic, onion, and etc.), and rice. After that, they slept in Daisy's room. The next day, they basically did the same exact thing.

Classwork September 25th: TOPIC: Plans for Chuseok. I don't really have plans for Chuseok but I think I am just going to relax at home. If I am lucky I will be going to Lotte World with some of my friends. If we go, I predict that we will ride Viking and French Revolution the most. The rest, I will just eat my favorite kinds of foods and sleep until I can. If our parents agree, Daisy and I will have play or even a sleepover. There is like nothing else to do besides that. Oh yeah!! I just remembered!! I might go see my other part of my family that I don't usually see. ** Wendy: Lucky!! Going to Lotte World!!
 * Dazy:** ** Sheamin, I'm soooo excited for the sleepover and Lotteworld!! IF our parents say yes...

Classwork September 23rd: TOPIC: I am a ninja, but I am terrible at fighting. What would I do? Hwaiya!! That is what regular ninja sound like. Clunkidibop!! That is what I sound like. I know it is very bad. I am trying to improve myself but no matter how much I try, I always fail. The teacher always punishes me for doing so. I would try asking my teacher for extra help on my skills. If a professional teaches me privately, I am sure that my skills will improve. If I still won't improve, I will ask my twin sister (the best of the best of ninjas) to fill in for me. I know it is bad to do so, but it's the only way for me to get good grades. My sister will help me because she is very nice to me. SIGH I think it is the best thing to do, though...

Classwork September 17th: Something that annoys me is that when I have a class on the fourth floor and then on B1 and then back at the fourth floor!! I just hate those moments!! I walk up to the fourth floor for my class then I walk all the way down. All my work going up the stairs was nothing if I have to go back up!! Also, homework annoys me. Not just lately but always!! I don't like homework and so do my friends. There are too much homework for us these days. In my old school, students never received homework for the weekends!! In KIS, we all do. I don't like that idea. The last thing that annoys me is the fact of stairs. I don't like climbing up and down the stairs every single day. It is very tiring. For a couple of days I had a a terrible body ache from a lot of walking up and down the stairs to not be late for my next class.

Classwork September 16th: //1. Journal: Pretend you are Tao writing a letter to his mom (who he has never known). 7 sentence minimum. Dear Mother,

Even though I never really knew you, I am writing to thank you for all the things you have done for me. I am sorry for having a bad foot. That caused you a lot of trouble, right? I am terribly sorry. I really thank you for keeping me safe throughout the very cold winter. I wish to know more about you. Also, about my father. Thank you for taking care of me.

Sincerely, Tao //

Classwork September 14th:** The setting of the story about myself would be in Lotte World on my birthday. We won't be able to ride a lot of rides because we go on a date where all of the korean students don't go to school. For most of the time we would be standing in line. One of the rides we would be riding a lot is French Revolution. If you ride it, your head hurts a lot because it bangs to the handles. //
 * //1. Journal: Setting is the time and place a story takes place. If you were writing a story about yourself, describe the setting (5 sentences minimum).

Classwork September 10th: //Journal: Volt believes in evil spirits. Do you believe in spirits? Explain. (At least 5 sentences)//

Classwork September 8th: //Journal: If you were Tao, how would you feel living alone in your new cave? Why would you feel this way?// If I was Tao, I would feel very scared living alone in my new cave. Why? It's because there a lot of wild animals also living with you. There is no one there to protect you from danger. Also, I would feel very lonely. There is absolutely no one out there with you. One more thing. If you get caught by Volt or somebody, you would be in serious trouble. That's why it is a big decision. There are many risks to it.

Classwork September 3rd: //1. Journal Entry: If you could change one thing in MS, what would it be and why. (At least 5 sentences)// If I would change anything in middle school, I would definitely change the stairs and homework. Even though we can't have billions of elevators in school, at least we should install some escalators for the students!! It is torture for students to always walk up and down the stairs to go to their classes. I also think we should receive less homework. There are too much homework per day. Since we all have more than one teacher, we get piles and piles of homework. It takes too much time to finish all of them!!

Classwork September 1st:** I admire my mom the most. Why? It's because she is my mom, of course!! She cared for me a lot and did a lot of things for me and my family (such as cooking and doing the laundry). If I have a hard time doing something, she's always there to help me out. She is also a very hard worker. There's always a bunch of things for her to do, but she always finishes it (even though she is very tired and doesn't want to do it). I don't think I would be able to live well without her!! It would be a huge challenge!! //
 * // 1. Journal entry: Which person, living or dead, do you admire the most? Why?

Classwork August 28th: //Journal: Would you like to be famous? Why or why not? What would you like to be famous for?// No, I would not like to be famous. Why? It's because then you won't be able to have any privacy. There are always people with cameras waiting to catch you on film. Also, people just put rumors on the newspapers and internet that aren't true. It's just very annoying!! You can never just go to eat food that lots of people eat (such as McDonald's) or it's just gets really crazy. You always have to outside in a disguise so people don't recognize you. You can't even have fun at an amusement park!! People gather around you and move wherever you move.

Classwork August 27th:** I wish to have invisibility for my super power. If someone was being mean to someone, I'd become invisible and mess with them. They wouldn't know who I am. After I am done with that, I can go somewhere like the bathroom stall and come back to normal. It'd also be useful if someone bad was coming my way, I would be invisible so I don't get hurt or bullied. It would be also very cool and fun to be the best in hide and seek without actually hiding.
 * // Journal #3: Which super power do you wish you had? How would you use it to do good? //

August 26, 2009 I am really excited about clubs this year. Why? It's because you can pick one that you really enjoy and have fun with it. I received "Card Games 2" which is with Mr. Tabbara and I also received "Girls' Sports" which we are learning from Mr. Toms. I got the ones I really wanted (which I am extremely happy about). In the next semester, I really wish to try some other clubs I also wanted to join.

August 25, 2009** So how has my day been going, you ask? Well, today, I had Social Studies the first thing at school. We went into groups and received a project. It was to present a puppet show in front of the whole class about the origin of human beings. Then my friends and I went to English class!! There, we started to write this journal...
