My mom's birthday

January 12th is my mother's birthday!! I was really busy doing my homework so I totally forgot about mom's birthday. When I finished my homework and turned on TV to rest, my sister came to me and asked if I know today is my mom's birthday. I replied no and my sister scolded me how I forgot that. I was a little bit suspicious because she was much busier than I was and she remembered it was mom's birthday. So my sister and I decided to write a letter and make some delicious food. I used an envelope I liked the best and we made a cake. My mom went shopping so she didn't know anything we were doing at that time. The first cake we made looked awful and tasted awful so we made another cake. This time, the cake looked OK and it tasted good. We added some topics like kiwis, oranges etc. Then we put it in a refrigerator and when my mom rang a bell we took it out quickly and hid it in my sister's room. My mom didn't notice what we did and I got scolded because I didn't finish the rest of the homework but I felt good. Later when it was dinner time, my sister tiptoed to the dining room and put the cake we made and candles enclosing two letters we wrote. When my mom came down to the dining room to start making food, she found the cake and was impressed. I was really happy at that time. I realized that my sister also didn't know it was mom's birthday because later when my father came back, he said that he told my sister about my mom's birthday. Normally, I would be kind of angry but at that time, I didn't.
It was really a nice day. :)

Now I feel comfortable

In 'Back to School' journal entry, I wrote that I didn't like to go to school but now, I want to go to school. My family was right. I was just being lazy in Winter Break. Even though I have history project to do which is interviewing my grandfather and writing big historical event that happened to him, it was much more comfortable than just writing about ancient Egypt, Rome and those kind of subjects. From interviewing my grandfather, I could understand him better and also learned historical event.
I could make friends and they were more kind to me than in the first semester especially friends in Health class which was the class I worried most. But now, I feel comfortable because of good friends and kind teacher. I am learning Self Concept in Health and it was much easier than I expected it would be.
Everything is going very fine in school and I will try to work hard.

Back to School

Yesterday 3 weeks holiday was over and I was back school. Before I went to school, I thought about tests, projects and other things that made me don't want to go to school. But on the other hand, I really wanted to see my friends so when I thought about that, I was eager to go to school. When I told my family that I just wanted to stay home, they said that it is because I acted lazily not doing sports for 3 weeks. I think my family is right because the first day of school was much better than I thought it would be. And I will be enjoying going to school when I study for 1 month and active like before. But still, I am afraid (?) about my school projects and new subjects I will study such as Design Art, Art and Health. : )

2012

On last Sunday, my dad and I watched a movie called 2012 in PIM 1. It was very long movie but it was not boring. This movie is showing the end of the world. It was scary because the ground cracked like tsunami and the volcano erupted. There was one man named Jackson and he tried really hard to rescue his last family which means he divorced with his last wife. They rode a limo and Jackson drove a car as fast as he could. He found a plane and he made his last family to ride and Gordon, a new husband, drove the airplane. Then they headed right to a person called Charlie because he got a map which told them where to go to be safe. In a nick of time, he found a map and it told them to go to China. Eventually, they reached China and rode a huge ship that protected them and only about 1000 people were alive with male and female of each animal.
After I watched this movie, I was pretty scared because there was an article in a newspaper that 2012 is the end of the world and there were some theories which I didn't understand. If that is true, I think it's unfair because I had worked hard to improve my skills and I want to enjoy my life more than 3 years from now on. I just hope 2012 is not the end of the world.
The movie was quite good but I think there is no point about this movie and it's hard to tell the story unless you watch it and I think director copied some ideas from a movie called 'Tomorrow'. So I would like to give 7 stars out of 10 stars. Next time, I would like to watch a movie I read in a book like Christmas Carol.

Mile run

Yesterday, I did a mile run and it was crazy.
I was pretty scared before I ran because I had to beat my score to get A and I thought my last score, 8:24, was high for me to beat. But there was a good news. Mr.Macmullen, my PE teacher, was running with us and he said that he would run a mile in exactly 8 minutes. So I decided to just follow Mr.Macmullen and get 8 minutes. I made the first lap and the second lap with Mr.Macmullen but I was too tired when I was half way of my third lap. So I walked for a few seconds and ran again. But I got tired again and walked again. When I repeated this 5 times, I decided to give up to get higher score than 8:24 because I didn't rest when I ran last time. By the time Mr.Macmullen finished, I needed to go halfway more. This was my last chance and I sprinted as fast as I could until I thought I was really going to die. I had to go 100m more and I sprinted and I thought I would collapse but I wasn't. After I crossed the finish line, I collapsed and lied down on the field. Another PE teacher read my time. I didn't expect to get higher than 8:24 and I was wrong. My score was 8:23. I improved by just one second. I was very delighted and I was less tired than before.
