In our class activity on April 29, we discussed about “Power Plant Project in Riverside”, and on April 30, each group’s representative explained their opinion. So, I summarized my opinion as “nearby residents” in accordance with two days activity.
First, we would like to request Power Company to use pollution-free resource, such as solar power, wind power, etc. Environmental issue is most important factor to proceed with this project, so air pollution, water pollution and soil pollution shouldn’t be allowed.
Second, if there are possibilities to release harmful substance; for example, NOx, SOx, Co2, Cadmium, etc, we strongly request to Power Company to incorporate necessary treatment systems in order to reduce the amount of discharged substance.
Finally, if Power Company decided to use pollution-free resource with necessary treatment systems, we will agree with their construction plan, subject to acceptance of our following requirement; in short, we request Power Company to subcontract to local company at least “50%” of subcontract works as provision for unemployment and prosperity of economics. This “50%” is same as original expenditure which Riverside City will be reimbursed, so we can change this figure based on final agreement of expenditure of Riverside City.

LIFE IN AMERICA--Leo
It's my turn to write post again, this time I will talk about my friend and my life of America. But the way , I am enjoying my life.
Firstly,I tend to talk about American life, I almost have been staying America for four months already, I remember when I arrived the first day I arrived here, I don't even know where it is. And I went to Mc and KFC, I don't even know how to order food,because the food in MC and KFC are totally difference between China and America. And also what i know is that in most of restaurants I can refill up my beverage after I finished it , if you have breakfast lunch and dinner in restaurant,which made me interested, in China no way!!! When I walked on the road in the first time, i didn't know to push the button,my friend told me I have to do it before crossing the road, and what i found is that American drivers are very polity, because they will let walker go first, even though the traffic is green, which makes feel happy and ashamed,because in china,most of people didn't do that, actually, people always let autos go first. Anyway I want to talk about tips ,which is so funny and let me know what American culture is. when I finished my breakfast, lunch and dinner, my friends always require me to pay tips , but in the beginning I always forgot it,I am not used to pay that tips , because waiters or waitresses can't accept tips in China, so I never pay for it.
I am enjoying my life of America, I hope you are also enjoying it . Please share something you feel interested in with me , and also post in the blog .

Six Flags^*^
BY Julia
Driving almost one hour everyday on the freeway made me feel exhausted. So, in the weekend, I just want to have a good rest, and don't want to go everywhere. I think two-day weekend is too short!!!!
Fortunately, we had a three-day weekend last week. It was so exciting! I planned to go to the magic mountain in which there are so many roller coasters! I really love that! Since I don't dark places, such as the ghost house which I hate and afraid. I used to sleep with the light turning on. In my childhood, I remember that I went to a tourist attraction with my parents, and had a look at something in the cave which was dark inside. I felt so afraid of that. I just began to cry and didn’t want to go inside. My parents had no choice, just hugged me, and didn’t go inside. But in contrary, I love things make me exciting.
My boyfriend and I bought the tickets on the Internet which we found by chance. Fortunately, they are cheaper. Everything is ready, and we went there. Magic Mountain is not so far away from my home. We got there early in the morning. There are so many kinds of roller coasters there. We played one by one! COOOOOOOOOL~~~~~! The roller coasters have so many different kinds, such as facing to the ground, facing to the sky, etc. We really enjoyed that. We have already played every roller coaster there. Also, we played some games there, and won a lot of lovely dolls!~~~~ ~~~~
Six Flags is really exciting place! I think if I can play the roller coasters which I love everyday, I won’t be sleepy!~ :P

Why I am busy. -Yusuke-
I have been in the U.S. for 8 months. I could not speak English when I came here, but I can speak English now. I am trying to meet new people because I want to improve my English, so I take judo class on Monday and Tuesday, and I go rock climbing on Tuesday and Thursday. I hang out with my friends after the activities. Some friends help me with my homework. This is why I got better grades last quarter. This quarter is going to be my final quarter. I have to go back to Japan soon, I am trying to be with all my friends as much as possible, but I also have to study. I do not even do my homework these days. I know it is not good. I will get bad grades this quarter. I did not care about my grades before, but I am going to come back here to go to college. I am afraid to get bad grades because if I get bad grades, it would be hard to get visa next time. This is week 5, and I have already missed a lot of homework, but I am not going to miss homework any more. I am going to come to the class on time and pay attention in the class. I am trying to be a good student. This quarter is going to be super hard, but I believe that I can do it. I just decided to work hard and do my best at least until the end of this quarter.
The reason why I always late. -Charlie
Almost everyday, I come to late school, so always I feel sorry to Reza. I want to excuse about that. First, I have so much assignment in main campus. As everybody knows, I’m UCP student, so I’m taking main campus class about my major. In addition, I’m junior in my university, Korea, so I have to take very hard class; for example, Analog integrated circuit design. It’s about design amplifier use semiconductor circuit. It has so many assignments. Sometimes, I don’t have enough time to finish my assignments, even I do it for late time. Therefore, I go to bed late time, and I always got up late. Second, my house is too far from here! I lived in stonehaven apartment. It’s in blane and canyon crest drive.
It takes 20minute on foot to get here from my house. I know, I have to get up early, but as I mentioned in first reason, I can’t get up early because of my assignment. Third, It’s too early time to me! Yes, It’s stupid excuse, but 9:00 is to early class to me. In every country, Engineering is the best difficult study in University. We have so many, difficult assignment, professor knows that we can’t finish it before midnight, and we sleep late time. So every class starts after 10am. That’s the reason I always come late time. I always feel sorry to Reza, so I’m trying to come early. However, everybody knows, It’s difficult to change habit. Anyway, I’ll do my best to come early time! Thank you for read my excuse.

My Trip with Conversation Partners
Last weekend, I went to SeaWorld in San Diego. I meet my conversation partners Joshua and another Korean friend Dennis every Wedneseday. One day, we met to talk with each other. We talked about travel in US. Actually, I have SeaWorld 2-day ticket, because I went to go there by optional trip in UCR extension. Therefore, I can go one time more. Other friends want to go there also. We decided to depart from Riverside to San Diego. At the time I went there, the weather was rainny. I didn't see Dolphin show and so on because of rain. Even more, I didn't ride Adventure of Atlantis. I really like to ride Rollercoster.
Before the day we would meet, I went farewell party for my Japanese friend Yuka. So, I didn't sleep very well. Unfortunately, I woke up lately when Denny called me. I was very surprised. I was late to go our meeting place. I was nervous but I prepared very quickly. They understood my situation. I appreciated very much. Finally, Joshua who is my native conversation partner drove to San Diego. While we were going to Sea World, we talked a lot about many topics.
I think going to travel with native speaker as well as my friend will help me to improve English. However, If I had mistakes about my English usage, I need correct process. We saw many things in SeaWorld and ate delicious lunch. Because we appreciate Joshua's kindness, we treated lunch for him. Especially, shamu Rock Show was very very awesome and everyone could sing a song as shamus were dancing. I had great time with my conversation partners. I will not forget our exciting memory.

Universal Studio
Haha…..I’m so sorry I’m late.
Last week, my housemate and I went to universal studio…I like it very much. If you guys like Hollywood, go there and play, I’m sure you will have great fun there. It was my second time to go there because I have annual ticket and I didn’t finish all the games at the first time. Tour guide (I couldn’t remember the name of this activity) was awesome. It’s a long car that took you around the film studio. You can be personally on the scene. In addition, the water world was excellent, too. Before the show started, the performers used water guns to shoot audience. Many audiences got wet, and it’s so funny to see people scream. Haha..As for the show, it just likes a movie. I couldn’t describe it. If you want to know how awesome it is, go there and have fun~~hahaha…Furthermore, all the 3D movie were amazing such as Simpson, Shrek and the so on. My favorite carton Sponge Bob also there and I took a photo with it. The reason why I love it is it is so stupid but cute. The ghost house was very scary. There were many real people inside. The most horrible man carried a electric saw that stood in front of the exit. I thought he is a fake man, so I didn’t care about him. Unfortunately, he put the saw beside me and scared me very much. I promise I will not go inside again… Mummy, Jurassic was so good that I played many times. Anyway, I like universal studio very much.

what up!
Do you support death punishment?
That’s a big issue in Taiwan now. One day, I just talk about this issue with my roommate who is from France. He said:” Everybody has second chance.” I think when someone kill somebody, the killer lose his chance at the moment. In Taiwan, the judge has few cases to found someone to death punishment expect kill parents or kill many people. I think when they do that terrible things, they are not human, they are monsters. For me, death punishment is social justice.
By the way, open your wallet and see you quarters, do you know every state has different pattern? I’m collecting now!! Who has these states quarters: Alabama, Maine, New Jersey, US. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, “Please Tell Me!”
because it's not enough 250 word, so I need add something…
Last Sunday, I saw a very exciting baseball game at Angel Stadium of Anaheim. The game was LA Angels vs. NY Yankees. I’m Yankees fans and last weekend was only three games that Yankees came here playing with Angels in the regular season. Although the final score was 8:4 and NY Yankees lost the game, I was very glad can see the professional game. 4 home run…..so cool!! I also like to yell with another baseball fans: “Let’s go Yankees or Let’s go Angels… whatever!! just for fun~
Next time, I am going to go Dodgers vs. Tigers on May 22 when is Dodgers stadium Taiwanese Day. I can’t wait the day!!

My Driver's License
It's my real story.
I've been here 2 years ago, and I came back here at last September 6.
When I came here first time, I was so inconvenience, because I didn't
have a car. At that time, I realized that the car is important in the U.S.
When I visited the U.S. second time, I already know that, so I took the
Driver's License test, and I passed. However, I haven't gotten my license
yet. I passed the test at last Sep. 22, but I got just temporary license.
After a month, I went to the DMV, and I met an officer. I asked the
officer, "Why is my license didn't come yet?" the officer said, "I don't
know", and she printed another temporary license. I still wonder about that.
Why? I don't know, nobody doesn't know that. It's strange thing. Anyway,
I went to DMV once again 2 weeks ago. This time, I met another officer, and
she told me my information still checking in DMV. At that moment, I feel
very terrible. Now, I'm just waiting for my license, but I do not expect
-Sean
anymore about my license.

I'm so tired - JUN
In this weekend, I took something special class in extension which class name was “Wildflowers of the Desert Foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains”. The type of this class was field trip class, so we traveled around San Bernardino Mountains during weekend. Actually, I had no any idea of this class before, but my friend recommended field trip class, and I registered this class with my friends because I needed unit at that time. Yesterday, I woke up at 5 am because of meeting time. First meeting time was 8 am. So, we had better to hurry. That’s why I had always waked up at 5 am. First day, we were little bit late time because we didn’t know exactly meeting place, so we lost way little time. However, we found our instructor and classmates very luckily, but it was not lucky. After that time, we walked and drove around San Bernardino during the date time. Rising sun made us tired and little bit up set. In my case, driving made me nervous because It was my first time to drive long time. Every situation made us tired and upset. I have no enough time for prepare my next story about “Revenge”. That’s why I couldn’t write. I really want to be taking a rest at home whole weekend, but my class makes me tired. If I have chance back to the past, I will not take this class. I need sleep and rest. Oh my god~~ where was gone my beautiful weekend?

What is Global Warming?
Last week, I saw two documentaries which are ‘The Tear of North Pole and The Tear of Amazon’. They has a information which is the global warming.
Do you think that the Earth is getting hotter? Well, it is. All over the world, people are noticing increases in temperature. Many scientists are worried about this growing problem. They call this change in the temperature of the Earth "global warming.
Global warming is a slow change that happens over many, many years. If it continues, global warming may cause the ice on Earth to melt. This effect would add a lot of water to the oceans. The rising waters in the oceans would eventually cover cities like Los Angeles and London. Another effect of global warming would be on Earth's weather. Our weather would become much more violent. We would have many more violent. We would have many more terrible storms like tornadoes.
Global warming may be caused by nature, but people may also be to blame. Our actions have an effect on our world. Burning oil and cutting down lots of trees also speeds up global warming and we continue to do these things. Large streets and cities made with concrete also added to the problem. Concrete reflects light and absorbs heat, so it works to makes the Earth hotter.
To slow global warming, we should try to use less energy in our daily lives. Many small actions make a big difference to our home planet. We need to start helping the Earth now before it is too late.

Missing My Old Life
When I came Riverside three months ago, I knew my new life would not be easy. First days, I was so strong and could overcome problems easily. However, I realize that this power was related to the excitement of first days. New places, new friends and new school made me happy. Unfortunately, this happiness could not be last a long because; nowadays, I miss my country a lot. I miss almost everything about my old life, but especially I miss my family and my boyfriend so much.
Most of you can understand me easily if you live here more than two months, but if you are new in the U.S., this is just a honeymoon for you and it will take time to understand my feelings. I hope my mood is temporary; otherwise, it is hard to continue to live here. Sometimes I can be angry easily and overreact the simple issues. This is not the life that I want to. Although I know there can be worser problems in a life and I have some good opportunities, I still feel sad because of missing my country.
I wish I could write better things for you. I hope I will feel better and write nice ideas next week. At least, I am sharing my emotions via this blog. Writing and speaking make me relax, but honestly I do not have many friends in the U.S. to talk with. I hope you understand me because I am sure some of you have similar problems sooner or later.

Team A / Blogging vol.2 / Yosuke / My History
I will introduce my history in detail. I was born in Nagasaki, Japan in 1974, which is famous for atom-bombed in World War II in 1945. When I was 5 years old, I moved to Sao Paulo, Brazil for my father's job. My father is an engineer of Japanese company. I studied at Japanese elementary school in Sao Paulo, and began to play soccer when I was 8 years old. After I spent 6 years in Brazil, I returned to Japan. I continued soccer in junior high school, high school, university and company. I loved soccer so much, but I decided to retire 3 years ago because of physical limitation for over age.
In 1997, I graduated from university, and I entered to Japanese company. I belonged to sales department of steel bridges as a sales staff for 3 years. After that, I moved to procurement department of power plant systems as a professional buyer. Therefore, my daily work is having a negotiation with local and/or overseas suppliers about pricing of products as well as commercial terms & conditions. Some colleagues don't like this job because it's too stressful for restriction of budget and delivery date. However, I like my current job because I have opportunity to communicate with foreign people, and sometimes I have chance to visit foreign countries. For example, I visited Chile, Brazil, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, China and Macao, etc.
In 2003, I married with Japanese lady whose name is Sumie. She is 3 years younger than me, and she was an engineer of soil pollution. In this moment, we have no children, but I hope to have children in the near future. This is my sole dream that I want to.

Introduce myself
It was really late to introduce myself. I’m sorry about that.
My name is Saori. I’m from Shiga, Japan which is located nearby Osaka. My hometown is kind of country, but it is quiet, clean, clear air, and close to downtown, so I love it a lot, and proud of it. And there is the biggest lake in Japan which is named Lake Biwa. You can enjoy water sports; jet skiing, riding banana boat, kayaking, swimming, and so on. Moreover, there is a lot of delicious food there. Especially, Oumi beef is famous and taste great. It tastes not greasy, but juicy, and so soft. Anyway my hometown is really nice.
By the way, I am really interested in fashion. Particularly, I focus on clothing. So I prefer to read magazines and go shopping when I have free time. I like to catch up what trend is in this season from magazines and shop’s display, and I always think about clothing textiles when I shop fashion items. I am not sure about my career goal, but, hopefully, I would like to work at textile trading company.
It was nice to see you guys.
Thank you.

I like to catch up what trend is in this season from magazines and shop’s display, and I always think about clothing textiles when I shop fashion items. I am not sure about my career goal, but, hopefully, I would like to work at textile trading company.
It was nice to see you guys.
Thank you.

American Life
The time is running fast that you imagine, I have been staying America for 3 months,which makes me happy and upset.But I highly like America and enjoy the American life.
Firstly,I have traveled San Deigo which includs La jolla beach that is best one in San Deigo I think and a number of beaches that you never see in ther other countries,L.A,China town and the other places in Riverside, which is good and a lot of views I can't see in China. That's really what I want and every classmates you should be there.I sighed up for gym in main campus where have good enviorment for working out. Because I am lazy , that's why I signed up . In main campus I found many groups over there, after talking with them,they create every kind of groups for social activites,of which is pretty cool,like to help animals , old and poor people in the America and so on.
Secondly,I like American foods which is hambgers and sandwhiches like that, friend of mine told me that American foods actually are mixed foods,which are mexio's foods chinese foods vinamese foods and Indean foods and so on, they collect every countries foods together and then ,changed the tasty for American people, right now i got it .I am missing Chinese foods a lot recently,maybe I have been here for 3 months , I didn't eat authentic Chinese foods anymore in America.In fact, I really wanna eat chinese foods my mum and grandmother made,which is awsome and delicious.LOL
Eventually,I hope that every people and everything is ok and have fun in this quarter.

My life in China [Brian Lim, team B, 1st blogging]
I want to take this chance to introduce my precious memories about exchange student in China. When I finished my military service in Korea, 2 years ago, I was having a big aim that was studying abroad. So it is absolutely important for me, studying international business as major, to study second language skill. However, at that time when I hope to go abroad, I didn’t prepare anything to go to study abroad. So I decided to register Chinese private educational institution. Every dawn, from 6’o clock to 7’o clock, I went to there to study Chinese conversation, and took a Chinese class in my university. I really did my best to study Chinese during 6 months. Eventually, I got a good opportunity to study in China as an exchange student for one year!!
When I went to China, I could not speak any Chinese, but my friends who went to China together with me could speak Chinese very well. Above all, I started to find Chinese best friends as my Chinese speaking partner in university. And I met a good Chinese friend who can speak English and Chinese. Then everyday when I was in the school I met him, and played with him by using Chinese. I practiced, and practiced. I enjoyed that time with my Chinese friends, and I did my best to speak Chinese as if I were a Chinese. One year later, when is the time to go back to Korea, I could feel something changed. Yes, I could speak Chinese very well more than my friends!!
When I was staying in China, I got many chances to trip variable places where are very beautiful: Beijing, Dalian, Chengdu, and so on. Most of all, the best memorable place is Shanghai, which is the city of economics in China. How can I forget a night view of Shanghai? It was awesome!! I have never seen beautiful night view like this. At that time, I decided to be a worker who works in whole of the beautiful world.

USA Life
I have been USA for about 7 months. Nowadays, I spend great time here, but I felt so much fears for my life of USA before I came here. For instance, studying English, housing, classes, friends, my health, and so on. Especially, I worried about class, for I am not good at speaking with somebody. Moreover I was too shy. However, my fears was totally changed to hopes when I went to school for the first time. Because everyone was kind and familiar with me, so I could relax and my feeling was loosen up. And then I colud think more relax after that. In classes, it was hard to say my opinions, ask questions, and say my answer the begining of classes. But I realized that it is important to express my thinking for show my interest of classes to teacher, and I have to do it in class of USA. Some of classes is difficult for me still now, so I do not have my confidence to raise my hand. But I have confident which I can survive them. I recovered my weeek point which is I im shy. And everything is working out now.
I am left for about 2months,so I would like to make my life more colorful. I hope I do well, and do my best for everything.

I Love You Mom!
By Jenny
Before I came to the U.S, I never went far away from my home. Some my friends, who studied with me in university, are from countryside. Sometime they were homesick. I was curious, so I asked them “ how are your feelings when you’re homesick ?” . They told me, but I couldn’t imagine until I came here. I didn’t have any experience about living far away from my home, so it was terrible. I felt sad, lonely, disappointed… exactly what my friends described. I don’t need to feel it anymore. Now , I’m living without my parents who always take care of me, I realize my mom is the only one that love me the most, and how much I love her. Couple months ago, I had some problems which very serious, I was tacit because I didn’t want to cause her great anxiety about me. She thought I was happy. When she knew exactly how my life was in the U.S, she was crying and telling me “ I let you go it’s wrong, isn’t it ?”. It not her fault, it’s my choice. I try do my best, therefore; I believe I’ll be successful. It’s not easy for me to be a nurse, but the only thing I know she’ll behind me whenever I fall. And I’ll get over because of her. I didn’t show her how much she means to me. Now I’m living with the regret that my true feelings for her wasn’t revealed. I think it’s never late for us to call our mom and say “ I love you, mom”. =.=

San Francisco alone -Charley
I went to San Francisco in this spring break. At first, I didn’t plan to go to San Francisco. I want to take a rest for spring break. I had never thought about spring break plan before I heard about my friends plan. All of my friends had plans, so I felt something like nervous. I stay only 9months in America, so Experience is really important. Therefore, I started to make a plan to San Francisco. Spring break was already stated, so I had to leave to San Francisco ASAP. Because I didn’t reserve airplane, price of it was really expensive! So I choose Train and bus trip. It was cheaper than airplane, but It took 10hours to get the San Francisco. Next, I booked in hostel, and collect some information about trip. After 3 day, finally, On March 24th, I departed to ALONE trip to San Francisco.
First day, I had to spend all day to get to San Francisco. First, I had to go to LA train station, transfer to the bus, go to Richmond, transfer again to train, and go to San Francisco. It was really uncomfortable, and took 10 hours to get there. I could arrive at the hostel at 10:00pm, and I fell a sleep immediately. Next day, I saw beautiful union square. It is big square located in powell st. which is very famous street to tourist. You can see cable cars in the middle of the street, beautiful buildings, many tourist, and also beggar. Then, I bought a muni passport. If you have muni passport, you can ride transportation freely for 3 days. After that, I traveled a lot. Grace Cathedral, beautiful beach, China town, pier 39, golden gate bridge, and so on. I can't explain all of them. Most of all, Pier 39 was pier but It changed to one of the famous tourist spot. You can see many performance, souvenir, and fresh seafood. I tried seafood, in pier 39. While I ate seafood, I met a poet who had gray hair and bushy beard, and he request to me translate his poem to Korean, which is my native language. I doubt him, but I gave my house address. After few days I came back to house, I got mail from him! He sent his poem to me, so I translated his poem, and sent back to him. It was really rare and special experience to me. In addition, I hung out with my roommate in hostel. One man was Canadian, the other was Bangladeshi, and another was American. We drank beer, and talked about many things. I showed them to magic (My hobby is magic). Then, they were crazy about my magic, so they told to everyone in hostel. At that night, I had to show to everyone of hostel.
It was really nice experience, because I traveled alone. I met many people, watched anything that I wanted, and even I could felt valuable of my friends. I can’t forget my successful alone trip.

My New Life in USA
By Julia
In February 21st, my parents and relatives saw me off at the airport. I knew that everyone doesn’t want let me go, but I had to go. I should create my life by myself. I wiped my tears away, and flew across the Pacific Ocean. I came to a new place and started my new life here.
I live in South Pasadena where is far away from Riverside, so I always take almost an hour on the freeway, I must get up early in the morning, in order not to get involve in the bad traffic jam. It is really a long distance, which makes me crazy.
Studying in IEP is happy. I am so glad to meet so many new friends come from different countries. I heard that some of us will come back to their countries or move to another place after this quarter, and I will transfer my school to Los Angeles. It is quite a short time we have lessons together. Maybe we can also keep in touch with each other after this quarter.
I think my life in Los Angeles is colorful. I can eat different kinds of food in different restaurant. I love food ^_^. I really enjoy it. I like the Shanghainese Restaurant most. All of the waiters there are Shanghainese, and they speak in Shanghainese, which makes me feel so relaxed. And also the foods there are full of the taste of Shanghai! I love it!!! Shopping is my hobby!~^_^ Sometimes, I go shopping so often that the people who work in the store have already know me. Many things in USA are really cheaper than that in our countries. It is so exciting!
I love my new life in USA. I think I am old enough to learn how to live without my parents, I should take care of myself, and create my new life by myself. I believe that I will be fine, and I really enjoy it! ^_^

My Fiance
by Sean
The last day of December, 2009, I was in the Richmond, Virginia. I'm an AYP (Pay for 3quarters tuition fee once) student. I had already paid for 3quarters tuition fees, and I want to go to the community college in U.S. I'm taking the IEP 300Level to 500Level until now. When I was in Korea, my first plan was go to RCC, because if I complete the 600Level, I can go to RCC. However, I changed my plan, because my current girlfriend has been living in Richmond, Virginia. She was not my girlfriend before the Dec.31.2009.
When I was came here first time, my friend introduced her to me, and I called her everyday, because at that time, I didn't have any friends. That's why, we were talk everyday, and I fell into her. She is very kind, sociable, and active person. That's the reason. I want to see her, so I bought a flying tickets, and I've been there. First time, when I get there, I saw her and I thought, "she is so beautiful!", and I decided to my mind. I confessed that I loved her. At that moment, she asked me, "Are you serious?", so I answered "I really love you!" .
After that, she smiled at me, and I smiled too. I realized that she also loved me, so I felt so high, and we talked each other all night. Next a few days, I needed to come back here because of school, so I promised two things to her before I left. First one is I will be coming back here. Next one is I will go to community college in Richmond, Virginia, so I prepared to my plan since Jan.11.2010 until now.

When his boss called him to his office, Steve was not too worried since he was a good worker. Once Steve got to his boss’s office, things didn’t turn out as he had expected.
The boss suddenly shouted to Steve as soon as he entered into the office. Steve didn’t understand this situation. He was very embarrassed. He thought in an instant ‘What is the problem? I have no idea about this. Did you fight with your wife?’ He asked to his boss “Is there something problem?” But his boss didn’t answer about that. Just he looks a crazy jabber mouth. Steve said “I don’t know exactly that what is the problem, everything is my fault, I am so sorry”
At last, the boss opened his mouth. “Do you remember that you recommend company to buy some kind of stock option, and we bought many stock options that you recommend us last month?” He said, “Sure! How can I forget it, I remember.” The boss said, “By the way the stock option’s price fallen down to 99% yesterday! Originally, this price is $100 per an option, but now just $1! So our company is in nonpayment now!” It means that his company is not enough money. The company will lay off his division. But he can’t understand this thing.
He and his boss fought each other and the boss fired him. Finally, the boss fired Steve. At the result, Steve got a retirement fee which was 1000 stocks. You know? The stock price just $1, just $1, but Steve didn’t disappoint. After a couple of weeks, the stock price risen as much as l00 times. Now the stock’s price is $10000 per an option!! Now Steve is rich through the stock investment.

Unexpected happening to Steve (Vicky, Jenny, Jeong, Allen)
When his boss called him to his office, Steve was not too worried since he was a good worker. Once Steve got to his boss’s office, things didn’t turn out as he had expected. The boss Reza, who was always kind to him stared at him and didn’t say anything. He was getting nervous and had some swept on head. A few minutes later, Reza asked: “What did you do yesterday?”
Steve thought a little while and answered: “Nothing special, boss. I was working hard with the machine as usual.”
“What? You know what you did!” Reza started to get angry. “You are fired now because you didn’t tell me the truth!”
“I am sorry Reza, but what did I do? I have been working very hard.” Steve was frozen.
“Are you kidding me?” Reza screamed: “You went to hotel yesterday, right?”
“I can explain that.” Steve was shocked. His face was pale.
“Shut up.” Reza said.
“Please give me five minutes to explain” Steve said with a sad voice.
“Hmm…” Reza was thinking.
Steve said: “Yesterday at lunch time, I wasn’t hungry, but I was tired. I decided to go to hotel for a nap. But I overslept because I forgot to set the alarm clock.” He mumbled under his breath.
“No, no, no…That’s not important. The important thing is you brought my girlfriend to the hotel!!!!” Reza said angrily.
“Boss, I won’t do it anymore, please forgive me. I need this job, please, please!” Steve was begging to Reza.
At this moment, Reza took off his Crocs shoe and threw at Steve, and Steve yelled. Reza hit him very hard, and then kept the Crocs mark on Steve face, "an alligator, that's your punishment. Get out of my office! Don't let me see you anymore!" Then, Reza closed his door powerfully.

The Terrible Robbery
By Julia, Baqir, Saori, Leo
When Jimmy got home, and as he entered the house, he realized everthing had changed. "Oh, my god! What happened?" He yelled. He laid down his bag on the ground, and hesitated a momeng. He hurried up the stairs, and called his wife's name, but no one answered. He rushed to the study room, and tried to find the case which his great-grand-father passed generation to generation and which was really important for him and his family. But it had gone. He looked around, and began to poke round among all his things. He looked like a crazy person. All of his collections, passport, and checks had gone. He was so upset that he sat on the ground weakly. Suddenly, he realized his wife who is a housewife must be at home, but why no one answered just a moment ago. He stood up and called his wife's name loudly while he was running out of the study room. He hurried to the bedroom. He was so worried about his wife that sweat dripped over his head. Unfortunately, the door of the bedroom was locked. He found that the situation was really serious. He heard someone was moving in the room, but where was his wife? Was his wife in the bedroom? How was she? Jimmy became more and more worried. He tried to open the door, but failed. It drove hime crazy. He broke into the door in full force. Suddenly, he saw his wife was laying on the ground, and two people jumped out of the window. He ran to the window quickly and tried to catch them......
He jumped from the bed, and he saw his wife was sleeping beside him. The sweat soaked his clothes. OH!!!!!!!! It was a really terrible dream!!!!!!!!
When Jimmy got home, and as he entered the house, he realized everthing had changed. "Oh, my god! What happened?" He yelled. He laid down his bag on the ground, and hesitated a momeng. He hurried up the stairs, and called his wife's name, but no one answered. He rushed to the study room, and tried to find the case which his great-grand-father passed generation to generation and which was really important for him and his family. But it had gone.

My Earthquake Experiences in America
Hyojoeng Kim(Jeong)
Every day, the earth is suffering much kind of natural disasters. Natural disaster is happening constantly in the worldwide. The earth has six lands. In each land, different disasters occur even though we don’t know about disaster. All disasters damage country’s society, economics, cultures, and other things. Therefore, many people are scared every disasters and tried to prevent those disasters. Especially, In California many different disasters sometimes suffer like fire, floods and earthquakes. Places where I live happened earthquakes very often.
The California’s big issue is earthquakes. Furthermore, I already suffered earthquakes while I took not only during in class but also in my house. When I was learning in grammar class, I felt something. I skipped that feeling, but other classmates started to talk about that. It was earthquake! However, the grammar teacher also didn’t care because earthquake occurs very often in this area.
In addition to that experience, I had studied about California earthquake class. That class’s name was Field Study of the San Andreas Fault: San Bernardino to Mecca Hills. I went to there and saw that earthquake’s origin happened in there. I felt nervous when I stepped near the center of an earthquake.
A week ago, I and my roommate’s bodies suddenly were shaking each other. We were very surprised that our apartment also was waving smoothly. The earthquake was happening when we took rest at each room. As I was embarrassed about moment’s earthquake, I didn’t know what I could do. I went outside and saw this situation. I felt earthquake could do anything. After earthquake, I found how to protect from that. Best way to avoid earthquake is to hide under materials like desk, chair and so on. I think people should know about how to save oneself. The earthquake continues even though we don’t know it is happening. So, we should prepare and concern about that.

My first car [ Jun ]
Last week, I bought my first car. Actually, I can't believe this situation because I had no plan for buying car. When I lived in Korea, I always had used public transportation, so I didn't think about buying car during living America. However, I reallized car is very important in here because Riversdied has not developed public transportation. Everything is very uncomfortable. Market is located on very long distance from my apartment, and everything is located on very far away form my house. That's why I decided buying my car. I spend one month for research about used car. It was very difficult to choosing used car.
Finally, I choose brand and model which is Nissan Sentra 2005. It was cheaper than Honda or Toyota used car. So, I searched around used car web site because of finding my satisfied car. However, it was also very difficult thing. I couldn't find car for a one month. At that time, my conversation partner introduced Korean car dealer. Finally, Dealer found the car. He sent mail about car picture. I saw car. It was great for me, so I decided but this car.
Finally, Last week, I bought my first car. I'm so happy, but I worry about something because it is my first car, so I will drive very carefully.

I will never forget that they gave me a surprising 19th birthday party.Because of them, my life in the USA is wonderful. I was glad that I can meet them everyone.Although we are not in the same class now, we still talk to each other every day. This Saturday, we will get together to have a party in my house. I am looking forward to it. I am sure that it will be a great party. We went through a lot last quarter such as the BBQ party which was hold in IV, we watched Alice in Wonderland together, and we had lunch in my home stay and so on. Everything in mind just feels like it happened yesterday. Peter, Julio, Myo, Celina, Havier, Tim, Melanie, Justin, Jaclyn, Dawun, Kiyomi, Wendy, Nikolai, and Sean, I hope you guys can be happy all the time. I wish my new class can be also good.

HI. Im yeong^^
My favorite sports is baseball, but there are so many people who play softball in USA.
As we can see from the two sports, softball and baseball, have a lot of similar things.
However, they certainly have several differences. From this writing, I will state those different things.
Firstly, baseball has more innings than that of softball. The number of innings in baseball is 9, when in softball is 7.
Secondly, they also have difference in the size of those two balls. In contrast, the size of a baseball is smaller than softball as the size of it is between 7.3~7.5cm when the size of softball has 9.6~9.8cm at it is girth.
One another difference is in the size of those bats. When softball bat has a length of 86.4cm, the length of base ball bat is 106.7cm. Therefore, the length of baseball bat is longer than that of softball.
I have stated few differences, that in my own opinion, those two sports surely are different sports.

TeamA/ week 2/ Allen
It’s about my NY trip. The beginning had a little frightened. When I and my friend arrived the JFK airport and called the shuttle bus driver, the driver was sleeping because he forgot the time. Then we had been waiting for one and half hours before he came.
After that, we arrived the hotel and knocked the door, but nobody answered. However we tried to call the host, even the driver also couldn’t contact the host.It was frightened in a strange place. After a hour ago, we didn't want to wait. Fortunately, we searched the WIFI signal on the street then we found a new hotel!
Although we wasted almost three hours, it couldn't upset our trip because we didn’t have plan. It was a free style trip. “No plan, is plan”, we researched the map of Manhattan where we want to go, just go. We went to many places, such as Metropolitan Museum of Art, Rockefeller center, State of Liberty, Time Square…etc. The most interesting thing was we walked from 86st to 34st and across Brooklyn Bridge! That is a special experience, and I think I will never forget it.

Turning Point
My decision of pursing in academic career in physics dates back to when I was in high school. Since that time, I have been very interested in studying physics so I chose to attend an undergraduate program in physics. I was very influenced by some famous physicists and some of my professors who had gotten their study abroad in the department. With this motivation, I graduated as the top student from the Physics Department.
Although I wanted to continue my master degree in a foreign country, one of my professors offered me a position in their research project in Turkey. I accepted his offer because I wanted to improve myself a lot before I left my country. I graduated as the first students from my master program. In the last quarter of my master program, I applied to Fulbright Scholarship that U.S. government provides. Firstly, I thought that I did not have a chance because there were over than one thousand successful Turkish students were applying also. However, I passed first elimination, and they invited me to an interview in the capital city of Turkey, Ankara. The interview took only fifteen minutes, and it was in English. As you can imagine, I was so excited and it was also difficult to explain my future plans in English at that time. Nonetheless, I explained pretty well how I want to contribute to my country after my U.S. education. After two weeks, they announced the Fulbrighters and I was surprised. I was so happy because they chose only sixty students from over than one thousand and I was one of them. I was chosen to do finish my Ph.D. (Doctorate of Philosophy) in physics.
Two months later after the first announcement, I was awarded with another scholarship. My first scholarship’s plan was to come here in September just before my Ph.D. However, they offered me to come here in January and take Intensive English classes for eight months to improve my English and to get used to live in a different country. I accepted their offer because to gain another scholarship form them was honor for me, so I left my job, my school, and my country. It was not easy and it was a real turning point in my life.
Two years ago, if someone said ‘you will live in California’, I would just laugh, but I am here now and more closely to my future aims. All in all, I learnt at least one thing that there is nothing in the life that you can say it never happens.

#541Writing/Blogging/Team A/Yosuke/L.A.
Hi, friends! I am Yosuke.
I went to L.A. on last Saturday with my friends, and I will introduce my first trip as following. I have ever been to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) over 10 times for my business trip, but these were just transit to South America. So I really hoped to visit at city of L.A. except for LAX.
At first, we walked along Venice Beach, there were so many people who spent a relax time with family, friends and/or lovers. It's so beautiful place in the world!! Please see a picture of Venice Beach as attached.
And 2nd, we moved to Santa Monica. It's not so far from Venice Beach. There are so many fashionable shops, restaurants and buildings. The streets are planned square and orderly. As this city is located a little high place from sea level, the ocean view from Santa Monica is so magnificent!! I hope to live there after I retired my job, if possible.
And finally, we visited at Hollywood; Grauman's Chinese Theatre and Kodak Theatre. There are many nameplates with handprints and footmarks of famous actor/actress of American entertainment. And we met many copies of Michael Jackson in Hollywood!!
The above is my first visiting at L.A. It's very exciting and fantastic experience for me. If you know the hot places to visit in California, please let me know as comments for this blog.
Thank you and best regards,
Yosuke

If professor does not give permittion to me, I can't take any class. Right now, I really tired. However, I can endure everything.

About Myself
My name is Gonca. I am from Istanbul, Turkey. I came Riverside three months ago. Although I like living in this small city, I miss my hometown very much. Istanbul is a gorgeous city which connects Europe and Asia continents. I believe there is no place on the earth like this city. There is no doubt that the most amazing part of Istanbul is Bosporus side. Also, you can travel between two continents with a ship on the Bosporus. My apartment was at the Europe part of the Istanbu and my job was at the Asian part. I traveled everday between the continents. Isn't it amazing? You can always have something to do in this city and never get bored. If you do not see it, I strongly advise you to visit this dream city. Why did I leave this amazing city? The answer is I want to finish my doctorate degree in the U.S. My major is physics and I finished my master degree in Turkey. I came to U.S. with my Fulbright scholarship to do my Ph.D.
Besides my physics passion, reading articles and books about it, I like swimming and riding bicycle in my leisure time. Swimming is a kind of therapy for me because I love water. Riding bicycle is not only enjoyable activity but also is a kind of transportation for me in Riverside. As a matter of fact, I usually do not have free time, but nowadays it is a little bit different because I am only taking English classes not any physics class. Also, I am happy to take these classes with you guys! Nice to meet you!
