Ocean's Thirteen

Today, I watched 'Ocean's Thirteen' with Kate, James and Sean. Although I didn't understand everything, this movie was so~~ good.
At first, we had a problem. Our tickets were written 'AUD#7'. We were waiting in AUD#7. However, another movie, Nancy Drew, started playing. We went out and saw a notice board. Our AUD# was 1. Crazy ticket; We came in AUD#1, but there was no seat we sat together. We went out again and told employees. We wanted to change movie time, so the employees exchanged our ticket and gave us free movie coupon! Oh, yeah. I'm gonna watch Fantastic 4 by this coupon~.
We went to American buffet to eat dinner before movie. Kate paid our food. It was already second time. Next time, I'll buy her tasty food. Anyway, American food's taste is kinda strange for me yet. Oh.. When can I get used to American food? Is it possible? I have no idea;

Old pictures

I'm so stupid

I'm such an idiot;
I failed my driving test. The reason I failed was lane change. I thought there was enough space between me and another car. But instructor didn't think so. It is all right in Korea. Shit;

I must wait for a week to take the driving test. I don't wanna wait any more, but I have to. Next time, I must pass the test.

A Memorable Event in My Life

The hardest time in my life was when I lived alone. I wanted to earn money to study English in Australia, so I decided to work in a fabric company instead of my military service. This company had three work times -08:30~16:30, 16:30~00:30, 00:30~08:30. My work time was changed every week. At first, I lived in a dormitory with two coworkers, but each of our work times was different. It was very inconvenient, so I decided to live alone. Then, I got a room and started living alone. While I worked, I earned about $750 a month, and I saved about $600 a month. Although I got about $350 per two months as a bonus, I did not have enough money to live. In winter, I did not heat my room to save money. I just relied on a heating pad and three blankets. My parents wanted to help me, but I refused it and told them I was using a boiler. I wanted to live by myself. Sometimes I felt it was difficult, but I was able to endure it because of my dream, which was to go to Australia.

After two years, I finished my duty. Finally, I saved more than $17,000. When I told other people about this story, they were surprised. They asked me why I did it, and they also wondered whether it is possible. Some of them thought I was crazy. However, I do not think so because I had a dream. Now I am in America. Although my purpose was Australia, it is not a big deal. Things happen. Anyway, I think this experience was good for me. I learned the worth of money and the way that lives by myself. Suffering makes people stronger. I will never forget this experience, and I will think about this when I feel difficulty.

Why?

These days I can't concentrate on studying. Why? What's wrong with me? I can't help daydreaming when I try to study. Is it because I want one thing very strongly? I'm not sure. I have some things to need to think, though. I was going to go Utah when my second session ends. However, I think I'd better change my plan. My parents are going to come to America on August, 7. If I take one more session at my school, the session ends before that day. Some foreign friends of mine want me not to go. Moreover, there are a lot of ESL schools in CA. Some of them don't have a lot of Koreans, so I think if I stay in CA, it will not be bad. Hm.. What am I going to do?

One more thing..CAR! LICENSE! It is hard to borrow a car to take a driving test(it is called Behind-The-Wheel Test). Why does the DMV(an office that we can get a license and do any other things about car) have no car that we can take driving test? I must borrow a car from someone to take test. If I waited to borrow my cousin's car, I would have to wait more than 3 weeks. I tried to find any other ways, and found. Driving School.. As expected, money is the best;
