Slacker Dedication and Goodbye

So in 2012 I was not the best student that I could have been. Hated studying, and was good at totally ignoring the fact that I needed to do it. I could think of any excuse not to study. I did a million things in my “free time that’s not actually FREE” Here we go slackers:

 

1.      Find the dumbest Addicting Game- There is this website called addictinggames.com and it has like a ton of random games. Well I found the dumbest and craziest games on there. Oh. Yeah. So. Addicting. -_-

2.      Try and hit the clock with a wad of paper.

3.      Try to hit your sister’s head with a wad of paper.

4.      Torture your cat- Tickle it’s tummy, make it dance, give it a big slobbery kiss on the nose, shake the feed bag and then don’t feed it, sit on the floor eating tuna from the can and definitely don’t give any to the cat.

5.      Sing and dance around the living room like a crazy person in pajamas.

6.      Do #5 in public. Classic.

7.      Make random, hyper, youtube videos about getting famous.

8.      Take #4 and use it on your sister. *evil grin*

9.      Slap the wall and imagine different people’s faces on it.

10.  Try the trick where you pull the table cloth off the table without anything falling. WARNING. Use plastic dishes.

 

 

Now, I say goodbye slackers. After this post, I will no longer be a part of your sad, sad group. I cannot take the agonizing hours of boredom for the rest of my life. So this is it. I am no longer a slacker.

 

Goodbye.

 

-TiffanySAUCE

 

Live. Love. Laugh. Laugh some more.

 

Oh and find your inner slacker and CRUSH him ;)

The FUTURE 0_0 More or less...

Highlighted part = Term stolen from Kelsey Gulick. Awesome ~ Check out her blog!!!! Link at bottom.

    I noticed this month, that I focus a lot on the future. In my free time, I tend to research different colleges, majors, and careers. I like to find out as much as possible and then try to plan out a million ways my future could go. It is good to plan ahead and to know what I want, but this "future-oriented" point of view can also cause me some problems. One obstacle I’ve run into lately is focusing so much on the future that I totally forget about what is happening in the present. I find it ironic that I put off doing a math assignment by researching college. I forget that if I don’t finish my math assignments, I am not going to get to college. I need to learn to use my future view to encourage myself. If I learn to do my work with the back of my mind focused on college, and a career and where all this hard work is going to get me. I think it could really help me to do what I need to do now, so that I can do what I want later. This isn’t just true for me. Everyone can use this tactic. Next time you get stressed out about school, or anything for that matter, just think about where your actions will get you. If you play instead of study, you aren’t going to be able to get into a good college. Think about the consequences of your actions. I think we all need a little bit more of this in our life.

    A good thing this future focused view has given me is a dream. It gave me a dream in the way it gives all future focused people, but it also specifically gave me, personally, an idea. As I mentioned in the before paragraph, I like to research colleges, careers, and majors. As I researched, thinking about myself in each position, I came across the career of “School Guidance Counselor.” I looked into this and I realized that this is a perfect job for me. I talked to my school’s guidance counselor and I like it even more. An academic guidance counselor helps a child form a plan for their future. That is exactly what I want to do. I want to help children and give them a good future. It is also AWESOME because years later I can see the fruit of my work. The guidance counselor that I talked to said she gets calls from her students years later and they thank her for her help and tell her that they got a career, and are having a good life. I can imagine that that is a wonderful feeling.

Happy Birthday Shoutout Time!

There are two birthdays that I know of this January! :)

Happy Birthday to KiPeum Kim! She is an amazing girl, and a very talented singer! She is so pretty and cute! I know if she wants to, she could become a world famous star! I met her at All Nations Christian Academy in 8th/9th-ish grade and we became good friends! I don't talk to her as much as I used to, but I wish I did! I hope that she had an AMAZING birthday because she deserves it.

Happy Birthday to Jay Song! I don't know him very well, but I went to school with him last year, so I know it is his birthday! He is the worship leader at All Nations Christian Academy (same school as KiPeum Kim) and is a very talented guitarist! Hope he had an WONDERFUL birthday because even though   I am not close with him at all, he deserves it too! 

I hope they both get to read this and I am very sorry that I could not give them REAL gifts this year. 



If you have a January birthday and you are reading this and you are thinking "Oh my gosh! She forgot me! :( WAAAAH!" Then I am VERY VERY SORRY! I don't think I forgot anyone and I know there are some people who I haven't known for a long time, and I do not know WHEN their birthdays are! If you are one of these people please send me a message, or comment here and I will edit you in!!!!  

One last time: HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANUARYS~


Save the link. Comment. Have a good month.

Literacy Week (And MORE)

Hello Bloggers and Blog Readers! I can't remember if I pit this in the intruduction about myself or not, but I will say it anyway. I'm homeschooled with a curriculum called FLVS or Florida Virtual School. I don't know if you heard of it, but is an AWESOME online school! This week, with FLVS, it is Literacy Week! The whole week they have had some really cool sessions celebrating reading and writing! Because of the time difference I didn't get to go to a lot of them, but I watched some of the recordings that are up already, and tonight or tomorrow EST I will be attending and participating in the Poetry Slam! I personally, do not write poetry, but I will read my favorite Shel Silverstein poem "Listen to The Musn'ts" :D

Poetry Slam Shoutouts

Karianna Tripp - My little sister will be reading a comedic limerick that we wrote together!
Natalia D. - She will be reading a poem of her own and I am excited to here it! I have yet to hear her poetry!!!!

Alyssa K. - A video of her poem P.I.T.B.U.L.L will be shown! I have already seen it and I know it is GREAT! :)

After the poetry slam, I'll write a review mentioning my FAVORITE poems and all of that :D Can't wait! :D

Go to flvs.net/myflvs for more info!

Sorry this is not a very professional post, but nothing much has happened this week, so I have nothing to talk about. Please check out my other posts for a better view of how I write. Thank you.

Travel Journal - Diary style (Travel Entry #1 - Diary #2)

Today was a good day~ At 11 every Monday I have a class with a Jessica the lady mentioned in my entry before this (she took me ice skating). Anyway after class we ate a Korean food called Dalkgalbi. Dalkgalbi is my favorite Korean food. It is basically chicken leg (cut off the bone), cabbage, sweet potato, and Korean rice cake stir fried together with a special spicy Dalkgalbi sauce. I'm not sure how you think that sounds, but trust me - it is delicious!

After eating the Dalkgalbi we went to Dunkin Donuts! Guess what. They have those in Korea~!!!!

(Wait.

They have them in America right? Otherwise the statement (they have those in Korea~!!!!) wouldn't make much sense and would sound much less excited than intended.)

I got a mint chocolate donut that tasted just like a donut textured peppermint patty (York's) and a coffee called Merry Mint Choco which was also mint chocolate flavored! I don't know if you know this but my teacher in preschool used to always feed me York's, so I basically grew up on those things (for a year). As a result, they are my favorite! I'm also in love with After 8's. They are also mint chocolate in case you didn't know that!

After eating all of that delicious food, we decided that we were being very unhealthy and Jessica gave the idea that we go hiking! I am kind of a lazy person, but my fear of being a fatty in public overcame my laziness, so I said yes. She picked up her daughter from the bus stop and we all went to Yongmun mountain! We hiked all the way up to Yongmun Temple and to the Ginko Tree. Both of these are famous sites in Korea. Yongmun Temple is mainly famous for being a temple on the top of a mountain and the Ginko Tree is a famous landmark. It is a literal ginko tree that is around 1,100 years old and only blossoms in Autumn. Also at the temple/top of the mountain there was a little fountain with fresh water continuously being poured into it. Most of it was frozen but the part where it pours in wasn't so we got to drink that out of these little red cups that they provided. Cool huh? 
After that we just walked down the mountain and went home! What a great day! :) 

Ice Skating (Diary Entry #1)

Have you ever seen the movie "Ice Princess?" I have and it gave me a really false view of what Ice Skating would be like. Last week, a lady named Jessica asked me and Kari (my sister) to come Ice Skating with her and her daughter, Tiffany (same name with me - automatically cool).  I got SUPER excited, seeing as this was my first time ice skating since Ireland when I was like 8 or 9. I didn't remember the falling over and the clinging to the wall. I just imagined myself as an Ice Princess.

Anyway, we go to this ice skating place which was really cool, but was basically just a rice field filled with ice. Then we go into this tent to get our Ice Skating shoes. So this guy looks at my feet and pulls out a size 250 (in Korean size) which I know is too small for me. I start to object, but then Kari points out that they probably aren't going to have a bigger size because Koreans have small feet. So I start to put them on and my foot won't even go half way in. I tell the guy that they are too small and Jessica translates it to him. He shakes his head and then comes over, loosens the shoes a LOT, stuffs my foot inside and then tightens them back up. Now it is squeezing my foot, but I remember from when I was 8 that it is supposed to be tight, so I just go out with these uncomfortable skates on. The whole time we are walking over to the rink I have to balance on Jessica and her husband because I cannot stand up at all. Then we go down and there is this little hill that we have to go down to get to the ice. I can't move and I have to be half carried down this hill and as soon as I hit the ice I slide and end up on my butt. Then I can't get up and have to be lifted by Jessica's husband. It was so EMBARRASSING. Then I get on the ice, still unable to move out of the fear that I am going to fall and Jessica brings me this chair. I then realize that I am supposed to use the chair as like a "walker."
It was actually pretty helpful because I didn't feel like I was falling over. Some of the time I actually sat in the chair and pulled myself along with the bottom of the skates- that was probably the easiest thing I did all day. Anyway I go on like this for like an hour or two and then we go inside the tent for lunch. Lunch is spicy ramyun  and a Korean version of Oreo cookies. Delicious!

 This is when I take off my uncomfortable shoes to find a GIANT blister on one of my feet. That is when I DEMAND bigger shoes and it turns out that they have a pair that fits me perfectly. Then  we go out again and I am still VERY ungraceful, BUT I can walk on the ice with no chair and I can skate FINE with the chair. It was SO much better!
Picture: Jessica holding up her daughter Tiffany. Me and my sister standing together and holding up the two fingers. This is with my boots on - no ice skates because so I can stand up normally.


Comment. Love me. Go Ice skating.

A Sort-of Introduction to ME, ME and ME (3x the fun)

Hello Everyone!!! As promised, my second post is a self-introduction. I don’t really know how to describe myself because there is way too much to put on paper. I am a really interesting, yet CRAZY person. I have a lot of opinions about pretty much everything. It is dangerous for me to stop and think about things because I will have way too many “realizations.” I don’t always share my opinions, but I am still a VERY open person. I am shy for the first day, but after I open up a little- I open a LOT. I will tell my secrets to anyone. I love to talk and I love to talk FAST. For those of you who don’t know, I live in Korea and when I am talking to Koreans I always have to say it twice- once at a normal speed and one at a slow speed. I am better at it now, but sometimes when I am excited it still comes out too fast. Actually, now that I think about it, I am sometimes even too fast for native English speakers. Ha!
           As I sort of mentioned in the paragraph before this, I am currently living in Korea. I was born in Panama City, Florida, but I started a life of travel in the middle of my 1st grade year. We moved to Ireland for 4 years. I had a lot of fun there! We did a lot of traveling, but I didn’t complain too much. I only said anything at the times when I got really lonely, but that wasn’t often. I was nicer back then. Anyway, after 3 1/2 years our house burnt down and our car got stolen so we officially decided it was time to go home. We stayed in the USA for about 1 year before getting tired and deciding to GO! Our next stop was South Korea and I have been here since then. We don’t travel as much now that we are here and it is harder because they don’t speak English, a lot. Also I am a teenager now, so I get all the drama that comes along with that. I have changed a lot since Ireland. I was really quiet and nice back then, but now I am loud, talkative, friendly, and a bit of a complainer. I won’t go into that though. I guess it is like a under-sized caterpillar growing into a not-fully-grown-very-unique butterfly. I have come to assume that almost everyone goes the exact same process of weirdness before fully sprouting, if you know what I mean.

OKAY! So this is the basic stuff about me. I am telling you though that you will learn SO MUCH MORE by reading my posts later. I show my personality in my writing.

Save my blog. Watch me grow. Cry at my grammar.

My First Post! Yes!

    Hello Bloggers and Blog Readers!!!! I know I am 9 days late, but Happy New Year!!!! One of my goals this year is to keep a regular blog. This has always been a challenge for me. I write the entries and then forget to submit them, or I just end up not writing them because I can’t find a subject. This year is going to be different- I am going to write in this blog, hopefully, every week if not then definitely every other week! I am so excited, but let me tell you! I have NO idea where this blog is going to go. I think I’ll have some entries where I explain quotes (you will see what I mean later) and some where I treat my blog like a diary talking about my life, or activities that I have done. If I find interesting things on the news then I might research and write about that or maybe I will have some travel blog entries. The point is that I don’t have any specific direction with this blog. Get ready for awesomeness whichever way I go! This entry is just an introduction to the blog, somewhere to start, etc. Next, I will write an entry all about me, me, and me!  Anyway save the link to my blog, even if it is just to ease your curiosity as to what is ahead~! I love you readers! Bye!
