Today, I woke up little early than other day to shower. Then, I rode my school bus to go to school as usual. I ride K bus and I sit with my friend. My first block at school was science and we reviewed the thing we learned about microscope. It was little boring but since it was a good thing to learn I listened to the teacher carefully.

__How can television (or video games) influence your behavior?__ Television can influence your behavior a lot. When you watch a television, you have to read books for 3 hours to get your original brain back. Television also makes children to keep watch so some children can't control themselves to stop watching televisions. Because of this, some children don't finish their homework so they get troubles at school.

__If you could change one thing about MS, what would it be and why?__ If I could change one thing about middle school, I would make a recess time for students. If I make a recess time, new students can make new friends by talking to them at recess time. Students can also build friendships and leadership by playing sports together. Recess time is not only bad. **comment**-I think it's a good idea to make more friends among the students. (Esther K.)**

__If you could visit any place on earth, where would you go? Why.__ If I could visit any place on earth, I would visit Hawaii. I already have been Hawaii 2 times but since I really like there, I want to go again. I really like the weather there. It's so warm and I wish Korea has that weather too. I like the beach the best. Waves are not that strong and it's kind long. I better tell my dad to go to Hawaii for winter vacation.

__How is your day going?__ My day is kind ** of going busy. I woke up at 6:00 AM and I put my lenses on because I have after school soccer today and I can't wear my glasses. I kind of took a lot of time choosing cloths to wear. Then I ate sandwich for my breakfast. I hurried to my school bus and I was late. But still I got on the bus and I wasn't the last one who got on the bus. Then I came to school listening to the music.

__If you could change something about yesterday, what would it have been and why?__ If I could change something about yesterday, I would sleep earlier. Yesterday, I slept too late because of the homework. If I started my homework earlier, I could have slept more that I actually did. I was so sleepy at this morning so I slept at the bus too. I was about to sleep at kis reads because it was so quiet. **

__Write about something that has really been annoying you lately. If your life is perfect, make something up. ( 7 sentence minimum)__ Something that has really been annoying is that putting my lens on. It took me like 20 minutes at first to put my lens on. I have to put it because of the soccer. I tried to put it at this morning because I have soccer today, but it kept got off. I think it's because it was the morning and my eyes try to close. So for today, at lunch time, I'm going to try to put my lens on once more. I hope it goes in! **

I'm worried if teachers going to tell bad things about me to my parents. I hope that they tell my parents only good things. If teachers going to tell my parents bad things about me, then I will get a trouble from my parents for getting bad grade on my report card.

__KIS is a 1:1 school. What does this mean to you? What are some pros and cons about this?__ ** I think the 1:1 school means that students can talk with their grades personally with the school. It is a really good thing to talk with school personally. You can talk about with your teacher about what you can improve.

__Think of a 'snapshot' of something you did over the break. Write a paragraph using t__[|hird person point of view.] Lisa went to Yong Pyoung over her Chuseok break. The thing that she thought the most fun thing was a mountain roller coaster. She rode it 4 times even though she had to pat because it was so fun for her. You can control the speed of roller coaster and she rode the roller coaster really fast all the time. She even crashed into a person who was in front of her. But Lisa was safe because the person she crashed to was her friend who she went there with! Lisa had really fun time there with her family and friend!
