It's spring, but mid-terms are coming

It's spring!
Today morning before I came to school, I checked the weather on internet and I realized it's 20 degrees today.
So I decided to wear short-sleeved t-shirt, but decided to wear something on top just in case it might be cold at night.
I spent the shiny morning in the library at the 2nd floor at Chung-Ang Artcenter, but I could not concentrate on study since I hadn't been in a library since last September.
I thought I am a hard-working student, actually I thought my self as a little genius as my mom often called me.
But I realized that there are so many good students around me, so many hard-working students and so many geniuses. I realized yesterday that all of my classmates were good students in highschool and that many of them had been accepted to this university with scholarship.
I was shocked at the news because I thought I was smart.
And I realized how I have been playing this last few precious months since I've been accepted to college.
I want to be a English teacher, I want to be good, I want people to know me because of how good I am. I want my parents to be proud of me, I want to show the people how I have grown.
I know college is different from the life I've been in the past. Before, the teachers have given me all the information I needed to know and they checked whether I've been doing work. However, right now I have to make all the decisions and make plan for my life.
I do not know what my life would be in the future. I want someone to show me my future, I want to know what I would be in 10 years from now.
I am afraid to make all the decisions by myself.
I want to go play today after school, but I am going back to the library at Chung-Ang Artcenter to study. I am not sure if I can study until 10 p.m. as I promised myself. But I am going to stay at school until night because that way I feel safe and comforted, even though actually I am not ready for the mid-term exams.
I feel like my friends are going to criticize me if I do not get a good grade this semester, because I am not going playing with them. I think I will be dissapointed at myself also.
I also want to enjoy myself as a freshman at college but I think I will go back to the library today.

Study goal for this year

I wanted to be a teacher since I was a little kid due to my mother's impact (she was a kindergarten teacher) and the three great teachers who have influenced me. I had several experiences to tutor English to young kids and I was pretty sure I had skills in teaching.

However, as I spent one month in Chung-Ang University, I realized that there are many areas that I can go to after graduating English Department. There was of course English teacher, but also professor, translator, and reporter for English newspapers. I like teaching, so right now I am thinking about both a middle/highschool teacher and a professors. I love the way the professors in my department teaches and I'd like to be one of them in the future. I know that being a professor is not easy to be and it requires lots of harder work and time, but I am beginning to feel that I want to teach college students about how to become English teachers.

As a freshman in Chung-Ang University, I want to focus on what I can do only in the first grade in college, get to know many people from many departments, playing with my friends, and get to make the school feel like my school. My study goal for this year would be taking TOEIC exam, focus on school studies, and ask lots of questions about the course. I take Korean writing in cultural studies and I wondered why should an English department student learn about Korean writing, but I know that all the courses in college will give me benefits in the future. I will use spare time (such as when I am on bus) to memorize English vocabulary since I forgot many that I memorized earlier. I will use the classes as much as possible and gain lots of new information about what I can do with my life.

Digital Storytelling

I was born in a small town in the southern part of Korea in November 14, 1990. My father was a pastor, and I gained the chance to go abroad at the end of fourth grade due to his decision to migrate to Shenyang, China as a missionary. I went to Chinese school for one and half years and then went to Shenyang International School when I began my sixth grade. Sudden change of entering college in America to Korea in my Junior year at highschool made me experience a lot more difficulties as a senior, but I do not regret coming to Korea for college. I spent my senior year in Seoul and was accepted to Chung-Ang University.

My MBTI test results showed ENFJ- Extraversion, Intuition, Feeling, and Judging. I prefer to direct my energy to deal with "the outer world." I prefer to deal with generating new possibilities or to anticipate what is not obvious. I prefer to decide using values and or personal beliefs. I want my life to be planned, stable and organized. ENFJ is the idealist portrait of the teacher.

I met three great teachers in my life and I can say that they motivated me to become a great teacher. As i was growing up, other careers also triggered my interest but this job as a teacher had always been in the small part of my mind. For the last few years, I had several chances of tutoring English to younger kids, and I realized that there are no easy careers in life and that I truly want to be a teacher who could influence at least one student.

I started studying English to get into Shenyang International school. Since I went to International school, I gained many chances in speaking with foreigners, and they helped me improve my speaking and listening skills. My favorite movies are Harrypotter series, the Sound of Music, and the American sitcom FRIENDS. I especially liked Harrypotter as a child, so I read HP books everyday and watched HP movies often until I almost memorized all the dialogues.

LIBRARY

I cannot believe Mid-term exams are coming so quickly!
I was so busy on the first month of college life that I didnot care so much about school work, and right now I am so worried that my grades won't be so good.
My parents are expecting me to be a good girl and study hard, because these days it is so hard to get into any job.
But I think I have been enjoying college life too much.
The professors are beginning to tell us about the mid-term exams, but we donot know yet what and how different the exams will be from the tests we took before at highschool.

There are less than two weeks until the exams, so my friends and I decided to study hard since the subjects we are learning are so difficult to understand. We went to the library since yesterday and promised each other to go there as often as possible. Time is ticking away and soon mid-terms and finals will approach. I want to be ready when the time comes.

Membership Training

My department went to Membership Training on March 27-28.
It was so much fun, even though it was tiring cause there was no time to rest.
I've never been to a MT before, so I wondered what was going to happen there.
My expectation grew much more as the bus arrived in Il-san YMCA.
Firstly, we met with the teachers, and then we we went out directly for sports activities.
We played dodge ball with the teachers, then the boys and the girls split apart to play soccer and baseball using feet.
It was so cold, and the girls were not used to playing baseball, we finished early and watched the boys playing.
The highlight of the sports activities was relay. Even though I did not participate, we all enjoyed people racing and had so much fun.
The sports activities were very tiring, but we could not rest, after dinner was time for our performance !!!
We practiced and practiced, then, it was time for 'Night of English Education Department'.
The professors also performed, and it was amazing. I was very shocked to see how great singers the professors were!
Because the professors were such amazing singers, we had more pressure since we could not practice that much.
But, the performance was a hugh success. The professors seemed to enjoy and we enjoyed watching each other perform.
After the performance time, we had no time to rest. We went out to dance and then came back to play all night.
There was no school bus to return home so all of us had to come back home individually.
I came back home and slept until the next morning.
MT was so much fun but so tiring.
