My OperaEntry for December 17,2008
Sunday, April 19, 2009 6:51:55 PM
I've just come home when Ms. Ledbetter phoned and told me to talk with Ms. Barnett, my counselor about changing my schedule, my classes. It was hard to talk on the phone about that. I needed time to think carefully. It's really important. But I couldn't let Ms. Barnett wait on the phone like that. So I came back to school again and had a talk with her. Just two more days and I will have spent a semester here. I feel like the time is flying through. Next semester will be different. It is getting harder. Biology and Spanish are the only two subjects I keep. I've changed 5. I've passed ELL test, I am free up. I am released. My friend said that i was kicked out of ELL. lol. Definitely, I will miss ELL. It is my second home here. The teachers are very closed to me. Right after I've chosen my classes, I ran down to ELL room to tell my teacher about that, because she told me to tell her after I've done with it. I've passed the math test, too, so I'm gonna go up to Alg2. (Dore oi, mug` ko? jo` thi` con vui roi`!, het' chan' doi` roi`.)
I've passed ELL and health class is for 1 semester so now I have 3 hours free. I need to fill up. For 5th hour, I have two choices: Programming in Java or International Business. First, I chose Java, which is about computer. But then, I knew that it is about code, my cousin said that if I won't continue on computer or computer will not be my major, I shouldn't or don't need to take that. It won't help me if I'm not keen on computers. Oh yeah I don't like code at all! So I chose business. I'm not sure but I have chance to change class within 5days. So if I don't feel comfortable, I can change to Java.
Actually, when I was in Vn, I dreamt about being a business woman. (don't laugh) My mother disagreed. She said business is such a dangerous place. It is a battle. But she didn't force me to think about being a doctor, at least, not much. But since I came here, she has talked so much about it just because my cousin has chosen pharmacy! She does well on it. That is the reason why they talk a lot about it. I think my opinion has changed. (but is that good or bad?)
For sixth hour, I have two choices: Speech or Team games. Team games? no way! It's about all the games, or sports in generally. I will learn to know all the rules. I have chance to learn to play new sports, or American sports or practice if it is the one that I've known. But...well...I dont say I'm not athletic. In fact, I got an A in PE in Vn. I really like playing sports, really like it...But...playing sports here...ok, the problem is I'm not a big girl (physically), and I'm afraid to play among the American girls. I won't be good. I thought a lot about it, but then, I chose Speech, which gives me a chance to practice speaking in front of many people in many ways: pretend to be a teacher, or share a lesson...I know I'm too shy, I need to be more confident, so I think this is good for me. I chose it.
I have 4 choices for seventh hour: World Futuristics, Writing Workshop, Psychology or Economics. I crossed out Writing workshop immediately. All my friends know that I'm not good at writing. (so sad) This subject is about poetry and creative things...like that. Even in VN, I never got an A in Literature! I hate Literature! I hate writing poems. I hate all the sorts about Literature. I don't have that creation. (I know this is so sad). My friend, she's German, told me that I should take Psychology, it's funny and isn't hard. But my council suggested me that I shouldn't take it now, since I've just got out of ELL. I'm still learning writing so... I can take it next year. Uhm... World futuristic...it focuses on the kinds of futures we can predict and how to make decisions to get the best results in a rapidly changing world. A variety of simulations and forecastings methods are used. No textbook! That's what my counselor said that made me surprise. With no textbook? Well..probably, it's just about predicting about the future and maybe we will be focus on finding a new reused energy (maybe). But well.. honestly, I know that this teacher is not structured, so if I wanna know about the world structurely, I need to think more about it. The teacher loves her job and enjoys teaching it, but when you read about this subject, you can imagine that this is not really about basic world. It is about predicting so... well... I didn't choose it either. There was only one left, Economics. I'm not sure what I will do with this class or will I be interested in it. But just take a look, and I can change within 5 days. It is about economics (of course ), about the fuel, gases, the price, the goods, even the school supply..., about why is it geting more and more expensive...maybe that will be interesting, I guess.
I have new subjects next semester, definitely I will have more works, and I need to work hard. I don't wanna be ashame, I don't wanna be upset. I don't wana feel like that anymore( what "like that" is, just Dore knows the answer, right? ) Oh yeah, My aunt said that I needed to have the writing lisence in driving, so that I can practice dring when I turn sixteen which is only more than a month later, so that maybe I can drive to school next year. But I'm lazy, I know, to study for that test. Anyway, it's just about the time, early or late, I need to take it. I know that. Too tired.....
