One thing I don't like is...

...the water pressure of the shower head!

It is too weak! I take long time for shower for this! I always worry that I may have some soap or shampoo on my hair or body. This weak water pressure... Ah. So frustrating! The shower head is also fixed on the wall, then I can't take it. If it is connected to the hose(not fixed on the wall), it would be much better.)-;

I miss the shower of my home...

Tired but excited

I just finished unpacking somewhat. I feel terribly tired after long hour waking. It is like waking up more that one day with just 3 hours slept in the flight. You know what? I slept only two hours before the day. I wanted to make myself tired enough to sleep in the whole flight but I failed to sleep for long time there. Oh.

I found out I brought too much clothes. I should have listened to myself!

I like this omelet.

It seems like unreal that I am in USA.

Nice homestay house, nice homestay mother. And I am going to go to get a sim card to have my phone back here.

Review on Tuesday, September 17th.

Today, we didn't to much.

With Noel, we played game called Dixit. It means "He says..." in Latin, Noel said.
It was little tricky at first, especially for scoring, but it is interesting. I should describe the picture in one sentence and put the card on the table not showing the picture. Others put their card on the picture each which they think is the most proper for the sentence. After all turned over, everyone guess which card is the teller's card. If nobody guess the card or everyone guess the card right, the teller can't get any score. The purpose is to make a sentence appropriate tricky. haha.

With Denis, we did tong twister. Oh... I didn't like this much. (We did others, but I forgot. It was too powerful to remember other things, kkk) However, my team (Sage, Krystal,  Bruce and I) did the best!
Another Minjee's team was hilarious! I saw Denis was laughing so hard. lol. The team was so funny that I even felt embarrassed. kkk

We even saw that Dr.Schwab was dancing!

텔레~비전에 내가 나왔으면 정말 좋겠네~ 정말 좋겠네.

I can't believe that the first session is OVER!

Calibre. 칼리버. ㅋㅋㅋ

Always Jeff gives us lots of things to look around. I think Drama and Comics will be really big help and great material for students!


Writing for Communication
hahaha. I got 66% on my first essay. is it bad? I thought it is not bad for the first essay in English... after my graduation of university. He pointed out exactly where I felt uneasy. I should be careful to write something more.

Teaching Listening and Speaking
Quiz time! For the name of our team "Bruce almighty", he did awesome! Also, Sage and Krystal was great, too. I was the only one who stood behind them. I should study harder.

Practicum and Microteaching
We went down for free coffee. Technically, it was not free. It costed our time to get the coffee. However, it was not bad. We did evaluation on the course and talked with Dr.Schwab for a little. 

It is almost the end. I feel strange now.

Adele - Someone Like You

Review on Friday, September 13th.

Friday on 13th. Whatever. nothing happened. 

Content-based Instruction-logic&Language
We talked about somethings about our program and some cautions we should be careful. 
I hope life there will be exciting!

Classroom English
As usual, we learn some classroom language and some activities in the textbook. I hardly remember now. (It is 2:40 a.m. on Monday 16th...)
We did kind of guessing game and Michelle was really good at it. 


We left early for preparation. I exchanged money and got my computer fixed. 
It was too tired for carrying the laptop all the way around. shit.

Review on Thursday, September 12th.

Teaching Learning and Speaking
We talked about what questions we may get in USA.
Jeff showed us how Americans talk and... I thought he exaggerated a lot. haha. Although my friend chewed gum sometimes, but she and her boyfriend never say like that. Also, they are good listeners. I may know very decent Americans. lol.
I with we had had a class for presentation in USA. Then, we could practice speech and also could prepare some presentation together. Not like we have to prepare ourselves.


Teaching Culture in the English Classroom
Presentation time! People presented what they prepared and I did. Unluckily, I presented about fallacies about vegetarianism. (Someone must laugh at this...) I was thinking about coffee, but it was hard to prepare. Then, I brought up with vegetarianism because I read a book named "Vegetarian myth" in Korean. Anyway, though, I didn't do all I thought, it was not bad. haha.

But why did Rob look so serious?

Creativity needs time!

And... everyone was curious about a certain professor's reaction if he know my presentation.......Although I accidentally chose the topic(it was just plan B, but he, I think, doesn't bite this. haha.-_-;;)

p.s. Bruce was late for hangover. As usual, he looked so shy and came into the class bending over. When we sat down, he accidentally showed his underwear for his shirt tucked under his backpack. Everyone saw it and Rob was so amused.  

Classroom English
We did reading and interview with Noel. I did last time, so I read Jane Eyre. I love this novel.


Pedagogical English Instruction
There are several learning style. We studied about that briefly and checked our learning style. Mine was reading and writing, but I was rather balanced so I can use any senses to learning.
