...Dan and I had left St. Louis the next morning, thankfully finding an extra seat on Dan's flight so I wouldn't have to keep him here for another day. The entire flight was spent with me running off to the bathroom since high altitude and nausea don't mix. I often found myself basically crawling over Dan while he was sleeping since I always found the greatest of moments to leave my seat, and that was always when he was fast asleep. Thankfully we had a connecting flight to New York and a layover of just an hour, so the six and a half hour flight went by pretty fast, the movies that were on the plane keeping both of our attention. "This is your captain speaking, we are about five minutes from landing at Heathrow Airport. The forecast calls for...

...school day. The boy was very nervous, maybe because he doesn't know anything about school or what school is like. I remember my first day at school, as something really special. I remember that the day before the start, I couldn't fall asleep. My anxiety hat taken over my body. The day started with my mother came into my room and woke me up, but I was already up. I had put on my prettiest clothes and I had already, the day before, made my mother braid my hair so I had curls, when I woke up. My school was 300 meters from where I lived, so I didn't have very long to go. My mother had taken he day off, so she could be there with me. When we came up to the school, where there already lots of children and parents. I clearly remember how I squeezed my mother's hand and I felt safe. The inspector said welcome and there were community singing. It was a tradition that there were community songs every year, and the inspector tell the new pupils welcome. After the songs, it was time to go into the classrooms. I was very excited to meet my new class, but I was a happy little girl, when I saw that there were two girls in my class, whom I went to nursery with. When I had found my class and everybody were together, we had to find some seats. On each table there was a note with each name on it, a juice and an apple. I went around in the classroom long before I found my name, I had to sit next to somebody named Philip. When everybody had found their seats, the parents were asked to leave the...

...I was drenched in sweat, some of it mine but the majority of it from the people surrounding me. I thought my legs would collapse at any moment, if it were not for all the people standing around me I was sure my muscles, which by that point had turned jelly-like, would no longer keep me standing nonetheless dancing. My ears were ringing and I was almost positive I would be deaf the next day. I was having the time of my life. I had heard about raves before – loud music, glow sticks, and teenagers wild on drugs. After hearing the horror stories of all the potentially dangerous activity that goes on at raves, I never thought I would end up at one. That’s why when I heard that the event ticket I had bought for one of my favorite DJ’s was actually a rave I was a bit more scared than excited. After experiencing it for myself, however, I stand corrected. Contrary to the stereotype that raves are a place for drug-fueled teenagers to run wild, I believe the experience can be a healthy, fun gathering to enjoy God’s gift to Earth – live electronic music. The main issue society usually has with raves is the amount of drug use usually associated with them. Indeed this also scared me, I was not one to take drugs and the thought of being around thousands of people who were did not appeal to me. However, this fear was all but forgotten when I entered the venue the night of the event. Before entering the concert, I waited in about in a line that stretched half a mile where I got the chance to...

...I pulled up to a red ancient looking building. It was an early winter morning in 2014, and I waved farewell to my mom and climbed out the car. Strolling over towards a large wooden sign, that read ‘The Barn Theater’, where I could see some of my friends lingered. They greeted me with smiles and excitement in their voices. Timidly and nervously, I replied their greetings with a small “hi.” We then began to wait for one of our teachers to arrive with the props we made earlier that week, so the props could be set up there. Everyone had helped unload and set up the props. As we entered the backstage, the smell of dirt and dust filled our noses almost making it uncomfortable to breathe. You could hear our footsteps creak as we walked on the decrepit...

...January 29th I attended a 11 am service at the “Ekoji Buddhist Temple” located in Fairfax Station. I chose to attend a Buddhist service because I wanted to educate myself on a religion that I knew little about. I grew up and was baptized in a Catholic Church, however I don’t remember much about it. I sometimes attend a Baptist church my family goes to from time to time. I do consider myself a Christian who believes both in God and Jesus Christ. But, I knew going to a Buddhist service would be different then attending a Baptist and/or Catholic Church because the Buddha is not to be consider as a God but a teacher. Before attending the Ekoji Buddhist Temple, I went online to their website, to see what the service consisted of and...

...1. Create a list of advice that you can remember your parents or primary caregivers giving you as a child. This is an interesting topic because I have lived a long time and believe me lots of people were willing to give me advice whether I asked for it or not. Of course, most of the interesting advice that I remember came from my parents.I'll review a few of those now. Mother: “Kill’em with kindness!” I remember this one specifically because I used to get mad a lot when I was a kid at Little Things. Mostly my sister of course but some of the older kids in my neighborhood were experts at learning to bully people, and of course I was a target as well. I remember my mother always trying to tell me to be nice no matter what. It was hard when you're...

...Activity From what I can recall, I did nothing of particular interest on February 8, so I shall elect to skip talking about it. To make up for the lack, I shall write an excruciatingly long entry for today. As is typical of an exchange student at Kansai Gaidai, I awoke only to begin my journey over to my Japanese class. In class, we played 'Who's Pen Is This?' in order to practice our previously learned grammar lesson. Next, we planned a pretend trip in order to practice another grammar lesson. Finally, we learned a new grammar point before departing. My next activity was to wait 40 minutes so that I could meat Saki and Chiaki again for lunch. This time, I brought my laptop along so that I could share photographs from back home. While waiting, I was joined by Wayne, a Chinese student who I had previously met, and Keisuke. At first, Keisuke swore that Wayne was a Japanese person, but after some effort to convince him otherwise, he believed that he was not. Come 11:30, I took my leave from the boys to join the girls in the cafeteria. Since it was rainy and drab awful outside today, Saki and Chiaki were waiting inside the cafeteria instead of the outside area where they usually wait. After getting food, we ate and talked some. Once finishing, we made our way to the CIE lounge so I could plug in my laptop and begin the show. A wise move plugging it in, I might add, as the presentation lasted about four hours. I began by showing pictures of my house that I took prior to my departure...

...feb. 2010 Why? Last summer, I went to London for the first time in my life, I was so excited. My dad and mom drove me to the airport, I thought the drive was so long that day, I had arranged with my best friend that we would meet at the airport at 7 o’clock in the morning, because our flight left at 11 o’clock and we had to check in 2 hours before boarding. We arrived, at our hotel at about 4 o’clock, we decided to unpack our things and after that we went out to eat, we ate at this big fancy restaurant and it tasted like something, I had never tasted before. We spend the rest of the day walking around in London. We had so much fun, shopping all day and then we got drunk at night, and experienced London’s nightlife. One of the biggest things I wished to do was, to see a musical, and I did see one, it was on our last night and I’m so glad I did, we saw “The sound of music”. It is one of the things you have to go to, when you are in London, it was so great I still today 1 year after, remember how the atmosphere was in the big hall, it is something you must experience. That night I couldn’t sleep I was having a nightmare I felt that something wasn’t how I was supposed to be. Before we went to the airport the last day, we went shopping, because I wanted to give my parents a gift, when I was going to meet them at the airport in Denmark. On my way back on the plane I was excited to see my family again, we had arranged with my parents that they were going to pick us up at Aalborg’s...

...On the 1st of December, it poured. Curtains of rain were drawn around the bus as it fell heavily, flinging sharp needles in its wake upon the slick ground, before pattering down the sides of the window panes as if they were droplets racing to see who would dissipate first. Outside, ripples were forming on the ground as the bus rolled on by. Some were big circles resembling the spirals of oversized lollipops and some were as small as the size of my palm as they undulated, a pretty sight of monotony. I glanced towards the passing ripples before looking back to my book as I caught myself. With the much-dreaded exams just a few days away, I just had not got the time to lose. A few minutes later, I glanced up again, checking whether I had missed...

...September 2014 I made a time traveler machine. I decided to travel to the Inca Civilization. The Incas Civilization lived in the Andes mountains from around 1435 to 1533. I decided to travel to the Inca Civilization because I wanted to learn how they lived, I wanted to learn about their culture and I just wanted to see their cities. I wanted to live as a Inca for one year. On 1st September 2014 I traveled to the Inca Civilization, I was going to be gone for a year. I walked into the traveler machine, everything around me became white. And when I walked out, I was on top of a mountain. Around me it was buildings and roads. I also saw people growing crops in the mountain hills. People walked around in the city. I had seen the city before, it was Machu Picchu. It were water canal around in the city. The city was beautiful, and the view. You could feel that it was hard to breath because it was so high over the ocean....

...It was late at night before I was finally put to rest. I was looking forward to a good night rest before morning came again and I was put back on for another long days walk. I was tucked all snug and warm in my humans closet. It was dark and cozy but I knew I would not get to rest for long. I was woken up by the sounds of feet walking by and then a light was turned on. I went through this routine day after day, so I knew what to expect. I was not wrong. There were several other pairs that lay beside me but for some reason the human liked me best. Was it because I was more fashionable or was it because I was more comfortable and went with any outfit they wore. I thought it was morning but when I was taken out of my cozy spot it looked like it was still dark outside the window. Then I...

...when ideals are being shattered and destroyed. Its wonder I haven’t abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart. It’s utterly impossible for me to build my life on a foundation of chaos, suffering and death.” (Anne Frank) This quote means that you should always have an open mind and should never judge before you know the facts. There are good people and bad people out there. You are the one who needs to make the choice. The first session I went to was called Writing Resistance: The Diary of Anne Frank and the Legacy of Her Work. Anne Frank was a girl who wants everyone to be peaceful like her. Unfortunately you always have the people that find a way to ruin everyone’s lives. For Anne Frank that guy was Adolf Hitler, an anti Semitic rebel. The second session I attended was Our Liberty id Bound Together. The “LRA” as known as the Lord’s Resistance Army which is a large armed movement of resisters against the Acholi people in central Uganda. This group is led by Joseph Kony. Kony considers himself a spirit medium from god. After going to these sessions it made me think about how good people have it that live in the United States compared to these other countries at war right now. Anne Frank was born on June 12th 1929. She was living in Frankfort Germany in a small Jewish community. Adolf Hitler was raised to power in the beginning of the 1930’s. He formed...

... It was about 10:30 Saturday morning when I woke up, still feeling bad from the night before. My boyfriend decided at the last minute to surprise me and four of our children with a day at the beach the day before. We left with only the clothes on our backs and bathing suits. It was only after we arrived that we decided to stay the night. So we got us a room at the Sea Foam motel in Nags Head, NC. After I was finally able to get up from the bed, I woke the children up to get ready so we could leave. We all took showers, packed up all our belongings and headed out. It was well past the check-out time before we left, but the housekeeper just laughed and told us to take our time. We all jumped into the van and pulled out from the motel. We took a right out of the parking lot heading north on Highway 12, intent on going home. After driving only a few blocks, we took a left onto Forbes St. and then another left onto Highway 158 south. We stopped at the Food Lion and picked up a few snacks and sandwich makings. When we left the grocery store we drove about a mile south before stopping at a Shell service station to fill up with gas. We pulled out of the service station onto Highway 12 and continued to head south. During our journey, the view to my left was large sand hills covered in tall grass. Every now and then you could catch a glimpse of the ocean. The scenery to my right consisted mainly of trees and shrubbery. Just miles before reaching the Herbert C. Bonner Bridge, I looked...
