 * **Thursday, June 3rd CW:**

My success of my life? I guess its something like having a happy family, with a good job with a comfortable working environment. Like it kind of seem meaningless spending my whole teenager times for getting ready for my job. I think the real success I want is really doing what I want, when I want to do it. Accomplishing my dreams and achieving my goals that I choose should be my success that i think.

Journal reflection. In your journal, reflect on your painting experience: --What did you enjoy about being a painter? I enjoyed the sketching part of the whole thing. --What are some of the challenges of being a painter? I guess it may be that if you don't be the best, people don't notice you. --Could you become a painter full time? Why or why not? No, I think being a painter would be a hard thing to do. Because I need to be on top of everyone to be recognized.

Out on a limb- to state an opinion which is very different from other people. Out of the woods-somewhere free from difficulty or peril

A t last! its school! Now I am out of the woods. My mom had always made me go to hagwons to always study and study and study. I like school say better than staying at home with nothing to do unless homework. My mom is always out of the limb. She thinks that I should always be studying 24/7. I bet other moms gives more freedom that my mom.

December 11th Classwork

On the double-Rapidly or immediately Jump the gun- you start doing something before an appropriate time

On winter break, I have nothing special planned. My mom is like "Peter! on the double start your tutor homework!". I would rather be in school than having a break. I thought i could get to play with my friends today, but my mom did not allow me. I jumped the gun had planned everything like a month ago. However, all that effort, I can't go play.

Dec. 9th In hot water- In trouble If the shoe fits, wear it- If it applies, take it to heart

I met a boy in hot water. He was named as a wolf's head which means everyone can kill him. People say "If the shoe fits,wear it.". So since i can take care of him, I decided to take care of him. I think i should educate him,teach him to write and read, and take him around the cities. I heard that you can be freed from a low class if you live in a city for a year and a day. I think i should make him free for taking him around.

Dec. 7th Loose Cannon- A person who is always in middle of a trouble. Tickled Pink- to be delighted

When our house's loose cannon, my brother left to America, I was tickled pink. He was a big trouble maker. He spelt water on our PC, broke like 2 china bowls and did more. After he left, I kinda miss him. He left at August and He is going to come back at next year August.

Dec. 4th In two shakes of a lamb's tail- a short period of time Some of my grades flunked down in two shakes of a lamb's tail. I am in a great worry.

Nov. 11th I am in great turmoil. My mother died, the lord said that he would take away my ox and I have no one to lean on. My only family member, my mother, was buried when no one else was weeping for or at least having sympathy. I feel ashamed by the fact that no one was there for me and my mother. When the lord said that he would take away our ox, I am in great panic.

October 19th 2009 Ha. Life is so unfair. I Survived the whole Trojan war with Ulysses. He gets remembered as the greatest hero but I become nothing. It was 10 years!! Wow. Now I need to go back home facing all these dangers such as cannibals, giants, monsters and etc. It was Ulysses who poked the Cyclops's eye! why do i need to get punished! I'm in heaven right now watching Ulysses's whole journey. I died by drowning in the sea when Zues hit our ship with his ultimate lightning bolt. On the Sun Titan's Island, me and our men were starving to death. So we decided to die happily with a full stomach than starving to death. So we killed the cattle and ate it. And i do not know why he scolded us and said that any man who touched the cattle will be killed.

October 12th 2009 October 6th 2009 Peter stayed home going to hagwons. He could only enjoy his vacation for a day. He did got some allowance from his grandparents and some of his uncles, but his mom took away almost everything. Poor Peter. He had a pretty boring vacation.

September 25th 2009 Chusok. Chusok is a holiday that the average weight of people increase. The price of the presents and gifts increases, the traffic gets jammed. the highway is full of the light of the cars. The smiles are blooming on the faces of the people.

September 24th 2009 One to one program might help a lot on education, but it has cons too. Students can access to digital learning programs on their lap tops. However, if the school can not limit the access, the students might play games and do things that they are not suppose to do. There were some students who were caught by playing games, but I think it will be pretty hard to stop the students from playing games and etc. However, there are some certain programs that the teachers can act as administrators on every computer in campus. One of those programs are called ARD (Apple Remote Desktop) which our school is using. there is no use if the students don't think about this problem seriously. they should know how to limit themselves and control themselves.

September 22nd 2009 Writing about my favorite game types of MMORPGs and RPGs and FPS GAmes are my favorite types of games. MMORPG means MAssive Multiplayer Online Role Playing GAme. RPG mean Role Playing Games. and FPS Means First Person Shooter. World of Warcraft is a very famous MMORPG game, Maple story is a famous Korean RPG game. Halo, the Call of Duty Series and Sudden Attack are famous FPs games. I like most of the games that are in these types.

September 16th 2009 James had a nightmare last night. he didn't remember the dream, but he did have a bad feeling about the day. his parents were not home that morning and he rode the school bus, but no one was o the bus even though he rides at the last.

september 15th 2009 This allergy that i have is really annoying me. i have an allergy to these plants that i don't even know. so if i get near or breath in the pollen of those plants, i sneeze, sneeze and sneeze. i really get annoyed because sometimes i sneeze over 10 times in a row. i almost got suspected by having swine flue.

September 9th 2009 If i could change one thing that happened last friday, i would have not lost my flute. since i lost it, my mom is really mad on me. i think i lost it somewhere between he upper gym and Mr. Schwagler's classroom. I wonder where it is. i even searched everywhere in this school and went to the Lost and Found place 100 times. i don't know what i'm gonna do.

September 7th 2009 My day is going pretty good so far. however, i think i lost my flute somewhere in school. also, i lost my ID card so i had to make a new one today. I wish i could find my flute today. I had Social studies, Science, Chinese and now i'm in English class right now. had no conflicts with my friends nor with the teachers. September 4th 2009 I would like to go to Europe if i could go anywhere i want to go. Since i never went to Europe, it would be a great experience being in Europe and learning their culture. I would like to stay at Europe with my friends or my family touring through the regions and countries of Europe.

September 2nd 2009 I would like to change the P.E. curriculum. first, don't set the P.E. schedule only for 1 semester. instead of 1 semester students should do P.E. for the whole year. in Korea, from the influence of hagwons, the students do not have that much time for exercising an playing sports. so at least the students should get to play sports for 4 hours a week.

August 31st 2009 i admire jeff kaplan. he made one of the most famous games in the world.:World of Warcraft. he is a great game director and also is making a movie based on the background story of this game. there is about 30,000,000 users of that game. Jeff Kapan says that he is planning to make another game that is better than World of Warcraft.

August 26th 2009 If I had super powers, I would like powers that I could divide molecules of a material and rebuild it to a completely different form. for example, if there is a lot of Hydrogen and Oxygen in the air floating around, i could rebuild them in to a form of water mixing up two hydrogenmolecules and one oxygen molecule. than i could make whatever i want and do what ever i want. I could make ozone molecules by mixing up three oxygen molecules.
