It's been a while since I've written a decent essay on this here message board. Life has become so hectic. Although people may think of me as an adult, I'm still a kid. I'm preparing for my first mid-term in high school. I'm worried that my first score will foretell my future. Although I've adapted to my new surroundings, it's only been one year. I fear that I'm short on time and experience. However, these changes have been very influential in my life. I mean in a positive way. I've learned a lot about myself and how this world turns. I've been busy worrying about my childish dreams, relationships and how I should spend my life. Midterms are on Monday, and I still can't memorize the unique geographical sites of Korea. I fail to fully understand many short stories in our Korean language text book. My skills are judged by how well I do on school English tests. Though it may be mere childsplay, I sometimes get one wrong (usually because the questions are written in Korean) For example, a grown man takes a Korean spelling test and gets one wrong. A kindergartener gets none wrong. That does not necessarily mean that this kindergartener is more skilled than this grown man.

I am neither brilliant nor bright. In Korea, this may seem amazing, but in the United States and England, my skills blend in with the crowd. I realize that I'm not unique at all. I'm merely in a different environment where English is uncommon. I tried to take advantage of this and ended up wasting my time. There is no other way but to blend in although some characteristics I refuse to change. Until next time... until midterms are over, I'll be away for a while. Until then... Tootles.
