Korea’s Superstar

February 24, 2010

I’m assuming everybody knows that the Winter Olympics are in full swing right now. As a Korean citizen, I love seeing my country win medals or just simply doing well. Nothing can describe how amazed I was by Kim Yuna. She has been the icon in Korea and is one of the greatest figure skaters in the world, if not the best. So… it is pretty nice to have the best of the best representing my country. I had no idea she was performing earlier today until people were talking about it all day during school. After taking a test, I logged into facebook…..during class, oops. My home page was filled with new updated statuses about how amazing Kim Yuna did today. She broke her own record!!! woohooo with a score of 78.5. Honestly, i don’t even know what a good score in figure skating is but she is way ahead of everyone right now, so her score must be pretty darn good. To me, she is Korea’s superstar. She is in good position to get the gold medal. She works so hard and I hope it all pays off when she wins the gold. I hope she does! GO KIM YUNA!

Superbowl Thoughts

February 10, 2010

On Sunday, well Monday for people in Korea(like me), the Colts and Saints battled each other in the Super Bowl. This year I wasn’t as hyped up as I was in previous years, especially last year. The super bowl a year ago included my beloved Arizona Cardinals. To be honest, I watched that game during school and although the Cardinals lost in dramatic fashion, it was pretty darn thrilling.

This year, I was not as excited but still it is the SUPER BOWL. Everyone was choosing the Colts to win. I really do not like them much so I was obviously rooting for the New Orleans Saints. I made some bets with friends because all of them were cheering for the Colts. I was pretty surprised about how the Saints won by two touchdowns. The game was exciting and very close until the interception by Harper(a guy on the Saints football team). Well, it sucked I was in school during Super Bowl Sunday but yeah I got to do my work. However I was still able to watch some of it anenjoyed it a lot. After all, it IS the Super Bowl!

Improving my writing

February 9, 2010

I have previously stated that I need to work on my writing and improving it. Well, obviously I need to improve my writing. Nobody is perfect at it, not even all those famous authors. I think the main problem with my writing is how repetitive it is. I think I make good arguments and I have good points but I tend to repeat myself a lot throughout my writing. Honestly, this is a problem I really do not know how to fix. Maybe I just need to choose my words better. Another problem with my writing is that I think I lack analysis. To me, analysis is key in writing. I am very inconsistent at this. Meaning sometimes I do a great job of analyzing and sometimes I do not. If I manage to fix these problems I believe my writing will improve a lot.
