My overall classes (Review)

I haven’t written a post about my daily school life. So here it comes~

My Regular school day 

History Class

My new history class is pretty awesome. It’s a small class compared to my first. I feel asleep for a good 20 minutes during class. What he teaches during class is exactly the same as our homework…I’d rather read the text book than to listen to him. To me, his class doesn’t really appall to me. He talks a bit too fast and much. The fun part was when he said “I feel like only 2 or 3 people in this class has read the assignment.” Which was totally correct. Maybe that’s why our class discussions are so.. dull and slow.

PE

We did the 200meter sprint. I ran with Lear and Tess and we vowed to each other to not run fast. In retrospect, we should have vowed to end the race at the same time. How awesome would that be? Finishing the race all at once! I’m so doing that next time.

English

I showed my Satire draft to Mrs Benozilio that I thought I did a good job on. But she didn’t like it. ;(

She kinda didn’t like any of our draft. Lol She said ‘it doesn’t reach her expectations.’ It made me so sad!

French

Okay, I am pretty sure that everyone in French class doesn’t like French. Except maybe James. I also need to tell her to wear a bra… It’s really really really terribly bothering me. Maybe she doesn’t wear one because she thinks we are all blind and can’t see her its. But… man… Maybe she doesn’t wear because her parents don’t want to admit that she is getting mature enough to wear a bra. Maybe she doesn’t wear because it’s against her religion. Maybe she doesn’t wear because she thinks her chests are so small they are not worth it. I’ve got 2 zillion more maybes. And I can’t believe she doesn’t wear one when she is 17 years old.

Anyway, although there are people who doesn’t give a damn about French like Feliz, there are people like Romz, Leaz, Cartez, Segez(?), Tali, Yaza and maybe Mez, that does care. The only thing I look forward during French is to observe what time Saiyam goes to the bathroom and to calculate in my brain how it’s possible for Romi to have a perfect body while gaining few hundred calories by drinking Arizona every French class. Hahhahaha.I hope Romi won’t get all creeped out.. I observe many other things too, like: If Felix brought his French book, if Tali is very tired or tired, if James decided to do…yeah, if Segev drew another tattoo, if Lear wore flats, if Carter is wearing the AIS Robotic shirt again with Element blue sweatshirt, if Even is becoming more orange, and most importantly, I check Mrs Whelen’s mood of the day. This is extremely important as the class depends on it. Once, Mrs Whelen was in a great mood. I don’t know how others felt, but it felt very odd to me..it wasn’t comfortable.

Algebra

I like my E block Algebra. It’s way better than A block although I love and miss Tessiong, Nomnom, The Wannabe Tan Skinny one. Main reasons why E block is amazing

1.       1. People actually take notes and doesn’t think taking notes are waste of paper. For no reason this reminds me of Niv.

2.      2.  It takes only 5 minutes for Mrs Wescott to check our homework. It used to take 10 for A block.

3.       3. No one gets frightened or gets meltdowns when we learn new concepts.

But, I must admit, there is one thing… a bit.. annoying about E block.

Whenever Sam starts to get moved and inspired by math, he goes wild… He starts talking in a new language I never heard of, called Math. But I guess Mrs. Wescott learned that in College because she understands and starts a 5 minute conversation with Benjamin that no one in class can understand. I am pretty sure no one understands it because everyone in class just observes with this face.

 

and Lear, you agree right? Since the 5 minute Math conversation occurres every class, I shall video tape that and Lear, you will be my witness.

So that’s all for my long post on classes.

Hope it was funny, and this is dedicated to,

Romi, Lear and Benjamin. :D

Sorry Ben. I am pretty sure you didn’t want to be mentioned in my world famous blog this way.

But you have to admit that I didn’t lie one sentence in that paragraph. Right Lear?  *Creep smile like the image below*

Israel, you are not 64 years old!

Ice cream for breakfast and lunch

I am eating ice cream for breakfast and lunch :)

Ben and Jerry's and Haggen Das.

Avril 19

I received my month rented cello on Tuesday but had no time to even lay my hand on it.

I’ve been occupied by history research paper, chemistry tests, English homework that I apparently didn’t hand in, and French.

In English, I apparently missed one homework but it dropped my overall grade by 3. You had to choose 5 quotes from the book Joy Luck Club and analyze it. It turns out I missed it because that was assigned during the balagan week of Robotics. So when I asked her if I could turn it in late, she said “That can’t be an excuse because Google did it. But I will consider.”Can’t she see that I am not, anything like Google who can pretty much multitask and just finish everything perfectly because he is a robot and because he is one of those super talented-in-everything-Jew???

I really am not or ever will be in a mood to read the Chinese book that I get lost tract with their names! ;(

I really really wish I had ‘The Korean Gene.’

Even Mrs Sadovnik is slowly losing faith in me.

Especially because I bombed my Ionic bond test today.

I also went to the hospital yesterday because I got this chest stroke thingy.. it was really scary.

It was my first time getting a ‘stroke’ similar thing.

I really must be stressed.

Which means, time for an ice cream.

Thankgod and let the angels sing for FRIDAY.

If she says yes,

Why Am I not an Israeli

For the whole Spring break, I was looking forward to Summer vacation because I thought I would get hired by the AIS summer camp and earn money and go shopping.

I went to the AIS summer camp today and was told that they only hire Israelis.

This is the saddest moment of my life.

What on earth am I going to do during Summer vacation....

This sucks.

BTW, today is Garrett's last day of school.

He is leaving Israel because of family issues I guess.

Well good luck in Ohio.

6 weeks of school left

I've got 2 months to raise all my grades.

Book Review #2

Summer of My German Soldier


Rating: 4 out of 5

This book, I recommend. And, coincidently, it's also somehow related to the WWII.
It's about a Jewish girl who lives in America helping a Nazi soldier by giving him shelter and stuff..
It's interesting. okay. But. the author wrote the N word.

"The only thing that I really liked in my room was the desk my grandma had bought me. Inside was my simulated leather five-year diary. I wanted to record my life so I wouldn't forget anything, but then I discovered there wasn't much worth remembering." 


"For a while I tried to use my diary for self-improvement. I made three vertical columns down the page and marked the headings: DATE. CRITICISM. FROM WHOM. I thought if I could see them written down then correcting my shortcomings might not be all that difficult. I didn't have to wait long for my first entry. "5/15/41-7:35am.:'Get that hair out of your face.-Mother 5/15/41-7:45A.M.: 'Even when you comb it, it doesn't look it. Can't uou get that dirty hair out of your face?'-Mother""


"Then I want you to learn this, our last, lesson. Even if you forget everything else I want you to always remember that you are a person of value, and you have a friend who loved you enough to give you his most valued possession."


"Then our lips touched, lingered together briefly before going their own separate ways." 


"'Patty, said that old man, 'I could go through this world proud and happy if only God had seen fit to give me a daughter exactly like you.'"


"Time passed. I stood rigid and unmoving, wanting nothing new to happen to me. New time was nothing except a way to determine how long he had been gone." 


However, I find a 24 your old man and a 13 year old girl falling in love a bit, particular. 

How I met your mother

I finished up to the last episode of season 7.
It's so good!
I finally finally stopped watching Gossip Girl.
It's such a... never ending drama.
YAY Barney!!!
and Robinnnn

Can't wait till April finishess

what to do with pesky siblings

My sister annoyed me so much I decided to tie her up

Book Review #1

Book review of

The True Story of Hansel and Gretel, a novel of war and survival

To be really honest, I am really sick of book plots that are based on the Holocaust. Writing books about the Holocaust can send awareness and messages about racism. But, it makes the Holocaust itself as if it is a famous story plot. It’s like we read about it too often we forget the true value.

Anyways, the book was o.k. In the beginning, it says: “The story has been told over and over by liars and it must be retold.” What a lie! I mean, this book has no similarities to the original except for the facts that two siblings, Hansel and Gretel, were dropped in the woods by their step mother and father, who meets an old witch then meets their father in few years. The story is really gloomy and isn’t much interesting. I am sorry, but all Holocaust books tend to focus on the same details! The children, the train that carried Jews, methods Nazis used to murder, how living conditions were during the war, and on.

I would like to read a book from a normal German’s perspective. Like a book about their daily life, morals and their fear.

My favorite sentence is: “His eyes rolled like a horse hearing the airplanes coming back over the fields. The whites of his eyes showed for a second.”

Oberfuhrer.

One of the ironies of the book is the ending. Okay, let’s get this straight. The two children and their father haven’t met for over a year. But after the war, they coincidently decides to go to the city were they used to live before the war. Children were shocked to see that their house got burnt. They ask an old man where the Jews live. Old man points to the Refugee Camp. The camp is full of refugees and is ‘twenty deep.’ (HOW DEEP IS TWENTY DEEP? What unit is she using?) Gretel crawls around the floor under the tables to get bread crumbs. Then! Someone, who was baking bread, “Let his paddle fall from his hand, and the crash of wood on the floor made Gretel jump. Hansel looked up and saw the man fall to his knees beside the oven. The boy’s face puckered. He frowned and clenched his fists. Then slowly he got up and walked over the crumbs into the arms of the man. “You left us,” Hansel said. “You went away.” The man sobbed and he held the boy out so he could look into his face.

That’s exactly like saying I go into a stripper club and see Mr. Popaduke working as a part time job.  

The probability is extremely low.

Day 1 of Spring break

Day one of Spring Break April 2^nd

I never had a conversation that lasted for more than 3 minutes with my dad.

I just don’t really talk to him because I hardly have anything to say, and because if I say something, he tends to keep the answers short with no follow up questions. It’s just how it is in my family..

And if he does have something important to say, he always tells mother first and tells her to tell me. So my mum is like the intermediate person. Don’t ask me why my father doesn’t talk straight to me. I’ve been trying to answer that question for the past 16 years.

So since my father uses my mum to tell me, I also use mum to tell father. Lol.  Last week, I told my mum that I want tennis lessons during spring break so I won’t be embarrassed to could ask someone out to play  tennis with me. She liked the idea and told dad. This morning, mom told me that dad said “There is no point playing tennis without working out. Tell Yejun that I won’t give her tennis lessons but will get her a trainer who will work out with her three days a week. Tell her that if you don’t have the strength, you can’t play tennis.” Then in a sec, I found myself, yeonjun and my mum driving to our gym.

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I DON’T WANT TO WORK OUT BECAUSE WHAT IF I END UP LOOKING LIKE A FEMALE HULK?

hey, I won't mind being a hulk if I had those breasts.... lol  sorry. I had to. it's this Korea thing. 

ALL BULKY AND NOT FEMINE LOOKING. -.-

Jokes. Jokes.

My trainers’ name is Gadi… I think. Well, that’s how you pronounce it. First, I thought it was Ganhdi. I nearly smirked but managed to stop myself. My first conversation with him went like this.

Gadi: What is your name?

Me: Lee…

Gadi: Oh, that’s my daughters’ name too!

Me: Oh cool! Haha

Gadi: So our baby was born and I asked my wife what her name should be. Then she said ‘what about Lee?’ so I said ‘okay, her name is Lee.’ Lee means me in Hebrew

Me: Oh, like ani?

Gadi: Yeah haha.

Me: Well, my real name is Yejun but it’s hard to pronounce so call me Lee.

Gadi: Isn’t your fathers’ name also Lee? (looking puzzled)

Me: Um… yeah… basically everyone in my family tells their name is Lee except my mum. Call her Bhan. hahh

Ga di: haha okay then warm yourself by doing 5 minutes of that, Lee (pointing to a bicycle looking machine)

Me: Okay

Not surprisingly, I nearly choked from trying to stop laughing when I was doing the bicycle machine thingy. Basically, the gym background music was this female solo artist. But on the screen of my machine thingy, which has a TV screen attached to it, was showing a music video of a guy singing on(in?)mute. So  the screen was showing a guy singing which I couldn’t hear because it was on mute, was overlapped by the female voice of the gym background music.  LDSJFLDSKFJSLDFKj sorry if you still don’t understand what my situation was. Adjfalk;dsfja hate English. It’s so hard. I kept on swallowing my laugh because then what would my trainer think of me? This Asian girl laughing while exercising?…

After 5 minutes, trying to make myself stare at the sea rather than the screen, did all these types of exercises. I sweated so much… more than running the mile! :D Ga Di said it’s a good sign. There were awkward moments like when he pushed down my abs but a bit down from the abs…to keep my abs? still while doing crunches. Also when he said “Between your legs” and I was like “huh? What’s between the legs” but turns out he said “look between your legs” which makes sense because I was doing the crunches..again… Crunches you damn exercise awkward maker….. lol

After an hour, I was totally exhausted and had no energy what-so-ever, to play 15 minutes of tennis with mum. I took a shower and went to the new Poleg Ha-Sharon(?) mall to do stuff on my new glasses!!!!

YES. I KNOW, I FINALLY GOT NEW GLASSES!!!!!

YAYAYAYAYYAAYAYAYAY CAN’T WAIT FOR 5 DAYS TO PAST BECAUSE THEN I WILL GET THEM BACK :D

I think my mum got fed up of me and decided to buy me one after I kept on excusing that my glasses are too small compared to my gigantic face. I kept on mentioning that I was in 7^th grade when I made the frame, and that it’s going to make my face shape oval because it squishes my face horizontally. Hahahahahah

For those who don’t know, prices of eye wear are extremely cheap in Korea because like 70% of the Korean population wears glasses. So it costs like at most 300NIS for frame and the lenses. But it cost me 500NIS which nearly made my mother curse my poor eye sight. It made me sad L because I also have no idea why my eye is so… bad… and… old-ish… (????) My poor eye sight is very costly. I have to change 600NIS contact lenses every year, have to buy contact lense solution every 6 months, which costs 80NIS, and have to take eye examination every 6 months, which costs 150NIS. Oh, another few hundred shekels for special goggles and sunglasses.

During dinner, my dad repeated how playing tennis and exercising your strength is very different from each other and that I will improve over time.

Tomorrow, I need to run to school and run the mile.

It’s my goal to record 8:25

My present record is like 9:40

I am pleased with myself today :D
