Only one problem.. It makes me hard. What am I going to do? I have no idea. Who knows that? I hope it will be solved well.

Oh, my god!

Reading class is very very difficult; Teacher's speaking is so fast and her voice tone is so low. Reading text is very difficult. What am I going to do?

Today, I make a driving test appointment on DMV homepage. But, the fastest day I can take the test is next Friday. Oops.. I have to wait until Friday. When! When can I buy a car?!

Finally, my school became funny

Because there are more foreign students in my classes at this session! I always wanted this situation. And 'Speaking Globally' class is exciting. At this class, we talk about global situation. But, we usually speak freely! This is the best class I've ever taken. The teacher of this class, Marshal, is cool and funny. He call me, David, and Natalia trouble makers; Why! I'm not. But I'll;

And today, in Academic Writing class, there was a new student. Her name is Liana Braunova. She is from Czechoslovakia, and has blond hair. She sit beside me. And we became partner, we interviewed each other. Oh, I was so nervous because she had blond hair;;

Anyway, from now all I need is a car! Come on, my pretty car~. I'll name my car when I buy it. What name is good?

My Final Assignment at Reading Class at Last Session

Complexion

The author, Richard Rodriguez, is the son of Mexican immigrants. He talks about living in America as a person who has black skin. His complexion is dark. But all his family does not have black skin. His father seems like French. His mother seems like Italian or Portuguese. Their skin is not black. His older brother and youngest sister also have not black skin. Only his older sister has a complexion as dark as his. Because of her black skin, his older sister had to go through hard time. He also experienced some racism.
When he was young, his aunts were pleased because their children had light skin. One aunt recommended her sisters remedies that could bear white children, but it caused some problems to children.
He talks about other people’s experiences that he heard. Two of his cousins were refused to enter to an “all-white” swimming pool. A lot of dark people were connected to poverty because they worked in menial labor. His uncle, who had to be the head of the family because of his grandfather’s death, did construction work. And he was mistreated by white people. When he went back to Mexico, he looked older than his real age because of mistreatment.

My second session in GGLS has been started.

My Classes
Grammar 8, Speaking Globally, Academy Writing I, Reading 8

I wished that there were a lot of foreign students in my classes. Oh.. Three of my classes have ten students. And half of them are foreign students. It is better than last session. I will get along with them. But there is a little strange thing. Most foreign students who take same class with me are women. One of them is a man. And most Korean students who take same class with me are men. Interesting..;

Anyway, today I went to the DMV(Department of Motor Vehicles) to get a license. When I came in there, I didn't know what I need to do. So, I asked an old man who looked like a guard. He told me friendly, so I could do what I needed. I enrolled and took a writing exam. And I passed! Yeah~ I missed only two questions. Although it was a little difficult, I was lucky. Now I can take driving test and I will get a driver license if pass it. OK, I will buy a car ASAP. And then a beautiful life in America will come to me. A car travel!
