Horrible Florida Vacation

Now I am writing down a true story that I won't forget in my life forever. Before the end of the winter break, my classmates and I decided to evade the frozen weather in New York and enjoy the sunshine in Miami and Key West. There are ten people in this group.
We spreed in the Miama clubbing, drunk countless beers in the Key West beach, and really had a great time. All of us felt complete. On the last day of the vacation, we decided to spend our last time on Miami beach and then came back to New York. We didn't know we almost couldn't come back to NYC forever.
The ocean in sea shore is so shallow that we lost the vigilance. We splashed and swam in the ocean but all of our feet could stand on the land. And then one of our classmates called us to the next ocean since the waves there were bigger than those where we were. We swam there without any hesitation and let our guard down. Suddently I found my feet couldn't touch the land and the same as my classmates. In the meanwhile I heard the whistling from the beach. I knew something wrong from my instinct; however, it was too late. We were very far away from the beach. No matter how we did our best to swim ahead to the beach, we stood on the same place. I started to be chaotic and twirly and to think I was probably going to die since I didn't have any more energy. I didn't remember how long I struggled to swim and actually I lost memory in this period of time until I saw the lifeguards. I wasn't unconscious but I terrified out of my wits so that I lost my memory. I wanted to tell them my classmates behind me but I couldn't say any word. Five lifeguards saved us and the hydro-motorbike also joined this salvage. While we arrived on the beach, a ambulance was already waiting for us. Six of us all turned green and thought we would die in that time. The other three classmates didn't feel dangerously since they couldn't swim so they stood near the beach. WE expressed our best heartfelt thanks to these lifeguards. Thanks God.
The lifeguard showed us the current of the location where we stood before were ahead to the beach but later we swam to the current which pushed us outside. That was the reason we were far away from the shore and felt difficulty to swim back. We really learned a precious course from the accident even it seemed a little bit late. I feel good to tell my friends this story.
Today we told the story to our professor of writing class. She said "The class is almost canceled since most students are in her class." She is a person with a strong sense of humor and that's the reason we choose her class.

Hello

I just want to say hello to my professor and classmates in my writing class. The vacation is quickly coming to an end and the new semester is coming by so fast. Did you have any new experience or anything that we can share. I love hearing what you say about your winter break. My winter break in NYC is wonderful and I make a lot of new friends since many friends of my classmates came to New York to celebrate Happy New Year. I feel constrained to say again Manhattan is the most magic city in the world since it seems that everyone wants to visit New York in the winter vacation. The street crowded tourists and all people were shopping. No matter where you go, you can't evade from people even you can't move in Time Square, Rockefeller Center, and Fifth Avenue. I hope this blog finds you well and all of you are doing well. Happy New Year everybody.

The meaning of the second chance

Awesome. After my EBS presentation, I heard this word at least ten times (most from our professor, hahaha...). We really did a good job since we worked very hard. Actually, this is our second time presentation in this course. The first time we did a bad job due to the discrepancy in different culture. While our professor criticize our work after first presentation, my team member and I felt so frustrated that we made a huge decision that we would do our best to perform very well at second time. We hold many meetings and spent much time to discuss our commercial ad. We try to match our professor demands as much as possible. The result is excellent. I saw our classmates expression in front of the classroom when we played the ad. I could tell they liked it and were interested. For me, the compliment of the second time is sweeter than that of first time which if we did our presentation well. I am proud of my team members and glad to have the second times chance.

My EBS Presentation

Last weekend we made a commercial advertising about Coca Cola. This is my assighment in EBS and also gave me a awesome experience I have ever had. We discussed and planed it for one week ago, meditated a lot of concepts, and chose the best one in the end. It was so interesting we can enjoyed and pretented that we were a huge ad company to make a commercial ad. Actually, the procedure wasn't easy and we felt a little frustrated since we weren't really Mass Media Department. There were a lot of techniques which we did not know how to solve. Eventually, we solved it and finished our first commercial ad. I am so proud and in front of my computer to see our work again and again just like a director. I think at least over 50 times tonight.

Manhattan

Our school takes care of us a lot. This weekend we went to see Broadway show each only paid $15 including the bus from school to Manhattan. The name of the show is "The color purple". Actually I did not really understand what they want to express, especially when they sang the song, the situation was even worse. But I like the decor and the beautiful voice, I never image human beings can sing like them. I am lucky that my school is in New York so I can enjoy the Broadway show in Manhattan, the food from all of the world, many kinds of parades, and crazy shopping. In this big big city, there are too many temptations around us. I want to study but also want to enjoy. I recommend our school designs a course about how to manage our time. This big apple is so sweet that everyone wants to bite it.

Many first times in the same day

This blog is very hard to write down the title since there were so many first time happening yesterday, for example, my first time Thanksgiving dinner, first time eating turkey, first time having a dinner with my professor, first time seeing the oven personally, first time being inviting to foreigner's house and so on. Our writing class professor is a very kindly person and invited us these foreign students to celebrate and experience the Thanksgiving Day at her home. All of us were so happy and excited. We served her lovely house as a scenic spot and took a lot of pictures except washroom. We enjoyed the turkey, cramberry, sweet potato, stuffing, and a delicious vegetable. The laughing accompanied with us all night. Our professor's husband is a person who has a innate sense of humor. He let us really experience the phrase "American style humor". For instance, when he was cutting the turkey, a slice of meat suddenly slid on the air and all of us bawled, he said" The turkey is still trying to flying." Last night was the best night that I had in U.S, the feeling of happiness surrounded us all night. Really a wonderful wonderful weekend.

Our family dog-Money

The reason of our dog was nominated "Money" is not my family likes money or wants to earn more money but the word "Money" is the only English vocabulary that my mother understands. When he was born, I was prepareing to study abroad. Money was my best friend during that studying time since I almost did n't go out except to the cram school. I trained him a lot of tricks including somersaulting on the ground, observing my order, and doing other tricks that almost every dog coold do. The most magical trick is that he can voice very angry sound when we ask him to be angry anytime. When I have homesick and miss him in America, I always call home and listen his angry voice. It is very interesting about that. I love him so much. All of us treat him as a member of our family not only a dog. For instance, one time I called home and told my mom I wanted to listen his angry sound. To my surprise, my mom asked me to call back one hour later since he still was sleeping. And I was very obedient to hang up my phone and hoped Money had a nice dream.

I am a housewife

I can't dare imagine that I am becoming a housewife before coming to United States. I hate kitchen from being a childhood. The reason is ridiculous but I thought it was true "Man should be far away a kitchen." This month everything is changing since I have financial problem. Every month my expenditure is one thousand dollars without the rent. I didn't buy any luxurious goods but I dined out everyday. Last month my classmate gave me a comment. As a result, I am going to cook by myself. As long as I was available, I searched the recipe from Internet and tried to imitate how to cook. After two weeks, now I can speak loudly I am a great Chinese food chef. Nothing is impossible.
