Are you ready for summer???

When the flowers bloom, and the students finish their AP exams, it is time to prepare for the summer. I like summer: hot weather but cool wind, deep-blue-emerald ocean, and wonderful time to collect warm memories in your life. Last year, in 2010, I've spent whole summer just preparing for SAT, and to say the truth, I regret it. I regret why I didn't spend more time making friends or going out with them to exotic places. So, this year, in 2011, I SWEAR that I'm going to spend it SPECTACULARLY!

First of all, I really want to go to ocean. Though I cannot swim at all, I really enjoy the cool wind and cold touch of the sea water. I just love to walk around the beach especially in the evening or in the morning when it is still cool and sun didn't arise yet. I've always visited there with my parents or family members, so this year, I want to go there by myself, only with friends and make wonderful memories.



Secondly, I've spend lots of time preparing for SAT, AP exams and keeping my GPA high, so I didn't have time to spend time alone. To reveal little secret about me: I'm a huge anime lover!!!!!!!!! I liked watching animations or cartoons since I was in kindergarten (Diseneys were my favorite!!), but as I grew up, I began to watch Japanese animations and started to love them. So, I missed many of the episodes of several animations since I had to study for the school and for Collegeboard exams. Therefore, I would like to spend some time to catch up.

(Gintama)

One of my favorite Japanese animations. It's about everyday life of people living during Edo period where aliens come and invade Japan. Even though it contains some kind of historical materials, it also deals with science-fiction and humor.

(Bleach)

It's about the normal school boy who suddenly becomes the ghost and starts to rescue other ghosts that are in danger. To say the truth, I watched this last year, but I had to quit it because it's like over 350 episodes! I start to watch it yesterday, but as you see, there are more than 300 episodes to watch more. So I think I'm going to watch them slowly and patiently.





Lastly, I want to travel to Tokyo, Japan. Last year, my cousin and I went to Nagasaki together (only both of us! no Parents!!!!!) and it was cool. I asked my mom to let me go to Tokyo this summer, but my mom keeps worrying about that nuclear bomb that exploded last march after the Great Earthquake in Japan. I think I have to persuade her and let me and my cousin to Tokyo. I've ben in Tokyo once, and it was gorgeous. I heard that one of my grandmothers were actually Japanese, so I'm really interested in Japanese culture (actually, I can understand Japanese, speak but I just cannot write or read those letters). Everything is cute and cool. Really would like to visit Tokyo again!!!!!!!
