There are lots of cameras and it is too difficult to decide.
However, those look good and I am wondering which one is the best.
I like the first one, but it is rather expensive.

Jeff told me to wait till I go to the USA but... I am not sure if it will cheaper there. Or it could be same thinking about time and transportation that I should.

Everything is up in the air and I am so confused.


Go to sleep. I spent whole day to look up the internet and buy some stuff.
Crazy. This week must be very busy, too.

Review on Wednesday, August 28th.

Reading and Fluency Activities
Noel looked so bad for food poisoning.
So, we just read books. I liked to read books.
He looked so bad, so I was worried.

US Education System & Oversea Prep
lot of shops and grocery!
I should check all those sites.... should I?
I think it is almost impossible. Yes. I can't catch up with any video clips yet.
I wonder how Jeff do all those things. 24 hours is not enough for me to do these things but he must have tips for using time.

Writing for communication
Testing. in a hurry. I should wrote a paragraph and handed it in to Denis.
I am not sure whether I did good or not. For sure, he will correct lots of mistakes.
(And he did.... writing is difficult and become more and more difficult.)

CALL & Multimedia Instruction
I liked those pictures so I played with these.

However, I like this more. Now I can start my class with some vocabulary in interesting ways. I was looking for this! Thank you, Jeff!

good photos to talk about
In English class, I tried to talk about something with students. Although they cannot express themselves in English so much, I can give them some information and lead them to read. Then, they can see different world and accidents. It could not be related to their class, but I think this is also my job- show around the world and new way to think.

I am still writing reviews...

I just keep it drafted version not published.

After coming back from Seoul, I feel terribly tired again. I need sleep, first.
I should catch up with all those on this weekend. haha.
(It must be crazy busy!!!)

Still, it is really enjoyable to take the lessons everyday. I don't want to miss anything, although I doze a lot. )-;

I am happy, really happy.

Something irritating

I know everything can't go as I thinking. However, there are something really annoying.

I don't know why the official doesn't give us enough information to us. He sure knows about this program a lot because he manages not only this 3+3 but also other 5+1 courses. I think he knows well enough about what teachers are curious and interested in but he behaves like he doesn't know well or WE must know all in advance.

Today, teachers and I went to City bank to open an account. We need it for paying the bill for homestay in US. Anyone of the group didn't know that we should have an account in this bank. One day a teacher asked him for opening new account just in case. She said he said like this. We MUST open an account before going out and do it OURSELVES.

Nobody knew this before. NOBODY! And he said we should open it now. What? Why didn't you say this before? There is little time to go bank. One hour is not enough to go to bank and open it. We should use weekly check up time or leave early. If he had told us before, we didn't have to go out altogether and crammed into one bank.

It took so long time for several teachers including me to go out and open accounts.
And Denis was angry for teachers being late.

I tried this yesterday in Seoul but I couldn't. I changed my name before and someone(my mom) tried making a credit card with my information. So, I needed more documents. I found out this yesterday in the bank. I was mad at my mom.


Everything he did, I don't like. He delays everything we want to know. If he gave us some information early, it is much easier to prepare anything. I don't like this. ha.....


I know one of characters for officials is waiting till the last time. I do this a lot, but don't if something is related to others!

Trip to Seoul and Gyeonggido.

I am not saying that it was good to miss the class. It was not good because there are lots of things I have to catch up and some professors must be very angry.

However, it was worth spending my time resting somewhere away from Busan.

Of course, I am so tired and have stiff shoulders from lots of walking. I don't know when I can take a rest enough. It was not rest for my body but my spirit? haha.

I didn't think about vacation for this year much. I almost gave up to have some time to rest. I am so lucky to take this course and want to focus on this only.

However, I found out there is an exhibition about Studio Ghibli and I must go there. I must.

Everyone has something in them which makes them feel alive. Mine is anything related to comic or animation. Ghibli is the company(?) or studio of my dream. If I hadn't given up one of my dream, it may have been my another future job, the animator working in Ghibli. haha.

So, I went there and saw about 1300 layouts for 5 hours. It was not enough time. If I lived in Seoul, I would go again and again. I love those pictures, although those are not completed pictures or movies. When I looked around inside the gallery, I felt my heart beating. It seemed to scream to me like 'I want to draw like this! I need practice!'

Seriously, I will make some time to draw cartoon again.

Now, I feel my heart beating again. I hope this is not because of coffee now I am drinking.

Also, I met my friends. One of them is now a mother of a baby. She and I spent 2 years together studying for the test. We shared lots of things those days. Now, we live different places, we are still able to share our thoughts. Well, I should learn how to talk more, though. haha.

Talking with her, I can organize my thought more. It becomes more and more obvious that I really want to study more, and what part I should study after. It is always good to have talk with friends like her. We have common interests and I can tell her everything about my work. She listens to me all without any prejudice which other people always have about teachers. She is a teacher, too. That's why I can share my thoughts with her. Other friends who are not teacher, sorry for this, cannot understand me and still think teaching is better job for theirs because of vacation.

I think they are not satisfied with their jobs.

Anyway, it was good to talk with her and have some time to think. It was a big help.
