I am a sophomore, now. In other words, I become junior in a six months,a senior in one and a half years, and freshman at college in two years. This means that the last two years in high school are the most important years for me. I cannot deny that these two years left in high school can possibly determine my career, social status, financial circumstances, and husband in the future. Hence, I need to face the brutal reality as soon as possible and bring an urgent and effective change in terms of my studying habits.
Up to this point of sophomore year, I did fairly okey job, regarding my schoolwork and extracurricular activities. Yet, from this point on, it is not okey to just do fairly okey job. I must try a hundred times harder. I must strive to get into the college that I want to go. I must exert tremendous efforts to get a good score on the SAT. So, how do I become more diligent and successful student, who attains fruits of one’s labors?
Well… All I want to say to myself is STOP PROCRASTINATING!
Time is too valuable to put a price on it. Yet, I waste it, and regret that I spent it too carelessly; I certainly spend more than two hours on watching dramas, surfing on the internet, reading cartoons; I even delayed working on my school work and studying the tests by surfing the internet and watching dramas. Therefore, I need to stop spending time on these meaningless thing and work!
These are my three therapies rules, to treat my ill habit of cramming and wasting time.
First, STAY ON TASK!
- This means no more wasting time on facebook and internet-surfing.
Second, organize your time table!
Last but not least, set up daily goals and determine how I will reach the goals!
- I will set up certain hours for studying and reading to make myself meet my set goals.
I promise myself to follow the rules above and be more determined to acquire knowledge, needed for my future!

You know what?!
For this blog… I am going to reveal about my one sided love toward the paraphernalia named MATH! We first met when I was six years old. My mom actually introduced him to me. She said that he would be a really helpful throughout my entire lifetime. Yes! As matter of course, he actually did! He taught me how to calculate the number of candies left after I gave it to my friend, even without counting them one by one! And my affection toward him got deeper and deeper as the time passed.
It is because of three reasons.
First of all, there is a gadget, helping us to find an Answer for all sorts of math problem (except graphing or proving) By using The instrument called Calculator oftentimes takes over or reduces the work for tasks. This meant that if one knows the basic formula for the problems and comprehend, then it is one-minute work since all he or she has to do is press number button and certain math symbols. Furthermore, other subjects, especially English and World History, require so much of solely student based work!
Secondly, Math was really simple and accurate on everything. The answers for mathematical problems are either right or wrong while majority of the response for historical or biological or language questions may be varied. For example, we get a “CRITICAL ESSAY QUESTION” or “SHORT ESSAY PROBLEMS.” : The questions are truly intimidating since all they ask is the reason why, compare and contrast, etc. However, my beloved math solely seemed to trigger students to solely know about essential formula, theorem, and the proofs etc.
Thirdly, my highest grade for entire years of attending schools was MATH.
Nonetheless, like all other lovers do, I think I should say good bye to Math since I want him to leave from the spot of being my most preferred subject! It is due to the amount of stress, produced from his lessons. These days, he gave me such a hard time on forcing me to learn, no actually memorize, the laws of cosines, sines, trigonometry, as well as getting a measure for tangent, arc, and so on. Indeed, the second I learn about the reason why it comes up it as the law of certain geometric figure, I forgot! because it is simply too complicated! And I really liked to comprehend the matters that I have been studying, but the math is all about being quick and accurate. In other words, without solidly memorizing the theorem and formula, one can not really solve the problem! For instance, I’ll give out a really easy pissy problem!

Broken Friendship

Broken Friendship
These days, I became estranged from my (EX) close friend. No..to be honest, I started to hate this one girl. It is because of her annoying personality!
Her mood has frequently changed. Whenever she is depressed or annoyed, she keeps complete silence and seems to be mean to others. She is excessively obsessed with getting a new boyfriend. Indeed, she seems to be two faced: she take care of one and really nice when she needs that person, but she turns out to be indifferent and bitchy when she thinks that one is useless. Of course, she has always been nice to the boys~ And I tried understanding her, so I talked about things that she made me displeased. It worked well at that time, but as the time passed she proved the reason why human can’t get rid of their original presence.
As matter of fact, I halted my action of being a close friend to her. I did my best to think her as a good one. Nonetheless, I am too tired of being only one who attempted to keep up a relationship with her. and Like the way she interpret the friend in her life, I also regard her as useless one who constantly makes me to be stressed.
By seeing myself on solely blaming her, I also realized how I became a sulky person. I mean there should or must have been my fault on ruining the relationship with her or making myself to dislike her. Yet, I have no other time or room in my mind to scold myself on only considering her as guilty one and accept her as innocent girl. Maybe, few years later, I would apologize to her for being too mean or overacting on our conflict, ,but, right now, I think I am too young and busy for that.
Face the Brutal Reality!
12 Mar 2010 1 Comment
I have never realized the cruel actuality of the world. Actually, I thought of the world, Korean society as a warm place fulfilled with joy, happiness, love, sharing! Well, my theory turned out to be wrong. The world tends to be benevolent toward the successful people but merciless on inept, lazy, wicked individuals. The tangible supports are scoring system for the students in highschool. It stayed high above the sky to the students, who effectively tries a lot; beneath the ground, ineffectively tries or never do their work. This seemed to happen, only in highschool. Still,it remained the same if they don’t change. In other words, the students with low GPA in high school do not barely succeed in the real world unless they completely change their lifestyle of enjoying too much of luxury like beverage, dramas, drugs-at extreme stage. Thus, I want myself to realize brutal reality. It is the most cold hearted figure that does not show any compassion toward the immature individuals who allow themselves of an extreme pleasure in the inappropriate department. So, face the brutal reality! and challenge yourself in order to defend yourself from the thorny ground of the real world, meaning that you should be a diligent worker!

!LEGACI!

The video- below- is my favorite R&B group, Legaci. Although I am big fan of Legaci, the only thing I know about them is the place where they came from: they are all from Northern California. There hasn’t been abundant information since they don’t seem to be an official pop artist. Anyhow, these days, I am excessively obsessed with all of their songs. This meant that I don’t resist myself from clicking the play button on their youtube channel. I restlessly listen despite of the fact that there has been the same song in the past. They do not imitate the original singers’ singing style. In other words,they trilled in complete different way or style. Indeed, it is even better than original songs, which the half of them are composed of technological music notes.Thus, I think they are small percentage of up to date artists who have been performing the actual beauty of music.
Tutorial by 2010 KAIAC Speech and Debate

in Highschool life Tags: Highschool Debate Contest
The second time ever trying our for debating competition taught many essential lessons. First, it indoctrinate me to know the great necessity on practicing a formal speech when every time there is a controversial issue. It basically means that I need to continue practicing providing the speech, not reading off from the script. Secondly, through the four series of debating, I certainly feel the negative consequences, caused by “a day before completing task” – the process where individuals resist doing their assignments right away, but rather put aside the work and complete in one day. In my perspective, I have never gained any true learning from this kind of study habit. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for me to fix this bad quality of studying habit. Or else, I would fail to flourish not only in the debating field, but also the school relevant criteria. Last, but not least, it truly gives a great lesson on the reason why so many people have said “Books should not be judge by their cover”. This explains about the fact that how the value of people shouldn’t be based upon their physical appearance. These days, I have envied so much of pretty and good looking famous with an eye- bigger than one dollar coin in US- , pointy nose. However, I became aware the importance of beauty of intelligence- how it is attractive to be knowledgeable and thrived in one of the areas in education field. The competitor from second debate session had made me to feel like that. She has not had fairly pretty eyes. It was normal enough. Indeed, her body was not as slim as pepero stick. It was rather a bit of chubby, sorry to say. However, her flourishing skills on debating convinced myself that quality is more important than quantity. By seeing that, I believe that Min Ji Kim, myself, should try hard on acquiring knowledge and managing her time well, rather than buying cosmetic makeup tools.
p.s. It became a bit of speech format, but I won’t care since it is my blog that i can write anything!:)

Big KIS letter on sleeveless top, the soft blue polo, short sea colored skirt on the bottom, and the white big Ribbon that finishes up my pony tail
Yes, it was the uniforms that inspire me to tryout. But now, it is the school spirits that keeps me in the squad. Ofcourse it is the statement that will go on my college ap. For hundredth time, I tried to send a letter with an apology for not continuing rest of the season. nonetheless, The excitement in half time of basketball game quarter cheer, still the uniform resist clicking “send” button on my mac screen.
Whenever the time, written on scoreboard stays the same for twenty minutes, I attempted to cross the court and tell the referee, who kept giving free shot, that I have an exam tomorrow, but the big dark circles beneath my captain’s eyes ( in 11th grade) persuaded me.
As matter of course, there are always the time that I admired of being KIS JV cheerleader. And the good thing is that it was over for about two weeks. YAY! BUT then off-season starts from today:))))))))))))))))))) And I have to arrive home at 6:00 PM twice a week!

Seek Knowledge = Studying
“The pain of study is only for a moment, but the pain of not having studied is forever.”
I was amazed when I first encountered this quote. It is because it answered one of the greatest misgiving in my life: Why should I acquire knowledge and get good grade? And these days, the tangible instances frequently have appeared. It was not long ago that I see the great example, proven the statement above. The day that I learned the meaningful lesson was when my relatives came over to my house for ancestral rites. There, I was possibly able to classify a person who studied and did not. One of my cousins, who went to Seoul University, achieved the position of being CEO in one of the big Korean companies. Yet, my other relative, who used to hang out the day before the Korean SAT, always begged a help from others for his own living. This also led to the meaning of this quote, “happiness is not proportional to the academic achievement, but sucess is,” In other terms, I realized how academic record hugely affect our entire life. This brutal lesson taught me one of most significant theme within human’s life. Furthermore, I became aware of the reason why it was possible for bourgeois French people (in 18th century) to successfully revolt against the corrupted throne, first and second estate.

Surprise? Happy B-day!

When I was in a middle school, I used to host a surprise party for my close friends, so that I could pay less money on their present…’ jk jk! The reason why I liked having one’s unexpected birthday celebration is the cost of making he or she astonished and congratulating with more excitement. It truly worth it!! However, it requires time, money, proper management, and a bit of skill on lying. The way that my group of friends and I did always turns out to be 99% successful since we put unimaginable hours and effort for completing the big task. First, one of the member of the groups send text around, proposing about amazing birthday commemoration for our friends. Then, they discuss and set up the day. Second, 45% of birthday birthdaygirls’ friends commenced to stop contacting the her, so that she could feel extreme loneliness; betrayed; the feeling that no one cared about her, leading to eventual realization that she is true loner and there is no one to care about her birthday. The second process needs to be done in really dexterous way. For instance, one of the portion of lier must have a fight with her. Lastly, one the girl’s actual brithday, we let one of the friends to play with her. While she hangout with the protagonist, we work on putting a karyoke, more like party mood by putting up few balloons and writing letters in big cardboard. Then, the friend, who played with her, take her to the place. The outcome from a week long hard work appeared to be ok due to the fact that some of them actually cried; I consider making people crying out of impressed feeling as
hardest job in the world. Yet, it got finished up in middleschool years. I can’t really do a small tiny itty bitty hidden party since me and my friends are highschool, the years that we need to be focused more on saving knowledge for our future occupation. And the ages causes me to lose the interest with in making my pals cry.
