Exciting!

African Student Day!


A few days ago, there were very exciting African student's concert in Olemiss! Actually, I had to prepare my test that day so my roomate and I were not sure whether we would go there or not. For thought about that, we just spent about 30minutes! After very serious thought, we decided to go there!


The concert was really really great for me! First of all, there was a performance that was consist of African traditional dance and some performance with instruments. That dance looked very traditional and funny. After that performance, some audiences could learn it and dance together. When they danced together, one guy waved his heap very aggressively so it was very funny! Second of all, two African student sang a vocal music each other. In fact, it was my first time to see African singer just in front of me. Therefore, that guy and woman looked just dolls for me. It's very marvelous experience. Third of all, certain music group played their special intruments. That sounds was very miraculous just like 'the little Mermaid's O.S.T. If those songs were made to some tape or CD, I should buy it! Finally, one African student sang a popular song. Proobably, the singer came from Jamaica because the word 'Jamaica' was printed on he's cloth, but I'm not sure about that!



Actually, when I watched that, I felt I was in America. I really appreciate the person who opened this concert!

A Memorable Event in My Life

I have arrived here 1month ago. Now I am very happy and have a comportable life here, but coming here was hard to me. Before departing to come here, I had lost my permission of the University. To be precise, if I didn't have it, I could not be admitted into America. Then I tried to find it again and again,, but failed. After all, I had to ride to the flight without my permission. During the flight time, I couldn't sleep well and kept concerning about it. After a while, I arrived at ' the Houston Airport', that is my first American airport, so I had to be given the test of admittance in the airport. I was inspected by one officer of the airport. In the middle of the test, the officer notified me that I didn't have permission for entering the America so I was taken to the Secondary Inspection Room. There, I spent about 2hours taking detailed test with many cops who have a gun next to their waist. At that time, I didn't speak English very well so speaking my opinion exactly was nearly impossible. Soon, I thought that if I wouldn't tell my hard situation correctly, that gun's bullett would be lodged in my head????? However, one kind police man helped me to pass this test easily. He just asked me for sumit some papers to Washington center.
Finally, I could arrive in Memphis on time safely and felt that strain was releasing. I will never forget this even forever because it helps me to grow up to be a real person.

Watching Dramas!

Have you ever watched "Dexter"?




I love watching dramas very much, but from I arrived in here, it is very difficult to me because I don't have TV in my room! If I wanna watch some dramas, I have to go to our lobby in dorm. Then I found one solution to watch drama in my room. That is my notebook! As you know, almost international student watch movies, dramas through the notebook. I really appreciate one person who made notebook! Today, I would like to introduce one drama. That name is "Dexter". It have been already telecasted until 3 season and probably, season 4 would be televise at March or April!

"Dexter" is the story about one serial killer. Dexter is the hero's name in this drama. Yes! The picture of the right is him! Dexter Morgan!!! He experienced very terrible things that is related to crime when he was a child and this experience made him a serial killer but, nobody knows his real nature. He pretend to ordinary person and he is very good at it. After he suffered that horrible thing, he was adopted by one police who found the horrible crimescene first and this police taught him to live ordinary person. And this step father found that Dexter never suppress his killer nature so he instructed the rules to him. This rules are about killing the person. For example, first, don't be catched by the police, second, killing only guilty person, and so on. For following this codes, Dexter is being a blood stain analyst and working at the police. After the being blood stain analyst, he found more path to live a serial killer. That's very irony thing. He is an catcher now and someday, he should track himself because of the crime that he made. And this element makes this drama more fun!
I think if you spend boring time now, you should find this drama in the internet and watch it! That would be the best choice you could! Iam sure about that :O and you will be waiting the next season just like me!

Korean!

Happy to meet U!



I watched the SuperBowl's final at my new friend's house. I met her through the International Program's officer. My new friend name is Christineand her job is attorney. She leaved Korea when she was a child so there are no special memory of Korea in her mind. Then. she wants to share many Korean things with us and that's why we met! Four another Korean girls and I went to the Christine's coworker's house for watching the Superbowl together.


Arrived at that house, I was very surprised because it's my first time visiting real American house. That house was really really beautiful and awesome! The house was decorated with orange lights, many kinds of sofa, couch, unique chair and happy birthday ornament(yesterday was the birthday of one man who worked with Christine).


Maybe there are 20 people in the house so we could met many kinds of people. Especially, the memory of kids remained in my mind deeply. In there, girls were very cute and kind but boys looked like a prim. Because when I granced and outstretched my arms in front of her, usually they smiled and then, ran toward me. On the contrary, if I did same thing to boys, they just turned their head, however, that behavior of boys approached me more positively! I think they were still unfamiliar with strangers. And then, I met Christine's husband and he was really really good man!!! Maybe he was very confused because of me. When I talked with him, he had to concentrate our conversation with whole his might because of my poor Enligsh skill... However, he always replied for my lots of question with his beautiful smile. I was very approciate his kindness.


I spent very happy and special time in there and I hope that our five Korean girls and Christine will make many sweet memory together! Our meeting will go on! It's going to be fun!!!!
