S.O.L. #8 = THE LIER....!!!!!!!!.....

You know what really frustrates me? My S.I.S.T.E.R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The lier, betrayer, mean, old, selfish, showoff, know-it-all, sister. And not only me, but A LOT of you , have the EXACT same problem as I have. Trust me, there is millions of people struggling with this.
I came back from school, and imediately went to the kitchen to get some snacks. I got a peach, orange juice and some bread. I took my food and went to my roomm and turned on my laptop and went to hotmail, and fb...NOT MSN....My sister always shouts at me for doing them so I guess I wont do it for that beast. After my snacks were done, my eye lid felt hevier than anydays. I walked to my moms room and lied down there. You might wonder why I didnt sleep in my room...It because my parents room have comfortable beds!!!My body sank in the bed, the cold air on my face, my body getting the time to finally rest. My homework was just to post the 12 vignettes to Mrs.Brown and to right this S.O.L. I had did my other hw in school. So there, no problem YET....
I woke up after 3 hours, and decided to go back to my room and do my Slice of Life hw. And there I found the most ugliest sight ever that I just ran up to the person and screamed at her really loud. Minjeong-the show off, mean, rude, no manner sister- was using my LAPTOP. She had promised me for not using my laptop again and using her crappy laptop. SHE HAD PROMISED!!!!!!!!!!FOR THE GOD OF SAKE SHE PROMISED, I MEAN SWEARED ACTUALLY!!!And there she is, her disgusting fingers placed on my white clean keyboard. My hands wished so badly to slap her, or even scratch her hard on the face. But I pressed my anger down and let her go... UGH I STILL REGRET THAT!!!I felt a big lump stuck right in the middle of my throat, and I couldnt breathe for 10 seconds. I bursted out crying for all those stress I had for my sister, the time when she stole my USB which had all my project in it and she lost it, the time when she told me she'd come to the store with me, and I got dressed and then she lied, saying she changed her mind. The time when she screamed at me for doing MSN with my friends, when she is doing oovoo video camera with her friends in my laptop.I could not fight back with no insults, or not even with a fist, but just watch her blabering insults infront of me, not knowing that those words are sharp like knives.
I wished soooooooooooo badly to to punch her real hard, I wished so hard for her to feel my pain of being a young sister treated like this. The tears dont stop running down my cheeks, its like the fountain that has been broken for days and no one came to turn it off. There I see, Mom running in the hallway towards my room....

S.O.L= I do NOT like today....

I know you would be wondering why I would write my S.O.L. soooooo early. Well, let me tell you something. It all happens when you are practically BORED and have NOTHING to do. I guess you have the feeling that Im suffering here. And you are absolutely correct.
Im back from going to church, and now Im here, literally STUCK in my room doing nothing but this. Church was good, I met my friends, talked to them and felt rather good:) But now Im here in this boring old home wishing for someone to save me from this bordom disease.....T.T...Now Im thinking here, something weird: I want to go to school!!!!!I hate school, like most of you people do, but TODAY I feel different. I want to go there and meet my friends and rather study with them than just study in this non crowded home.*SIGH.... I used to like my sweden school so much I hated weekends. You might see me weird or out of mind, but I dont care whatever you think. If you were in my school , you would feel the samw way, seriously. Ok, back to the story...
I got a message from Ashini, and of course I replied since Im toooo nice:Dhaha... I hate people who are nice to you and when they leave they dont even THINK about you!!!So annoying. But Ashini never did or does that, trust me she is DIFFERENT than others, in a good way. She had a secret to tell me and it was big. But the news she told me was good and I was soooooo shocked I froze when she said that. SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHH!!!I aint gonna tell you guys!!!I sent her a email back which was rather long. But I knew she would like a long reply from her very best friend. Now Im done e-mailing her, and in fb there is barely anyone online, an no one wrote their S.O.L for today except for me, and I usually read other peoples....Im thinking what to do, but nothing 's coming up in mind............I wish to eat something sweet and full of sugar but I dont bother to walk to arrocha or make cookies or brownie......The baby is crying right now, Minjeong got in trouble for NOT taking care of her, and mom is stressed out. And I dont have to say how I am because there is a full picture of it...

S.O.L.= Everything Canceled.

I am back from that stupid lesson from korean school. You might be wondering why I would go to a korean school in a saturday. Well I go there to learn math and korean. Thats all. Its practically really annoying but you gotta deal with it. I got new teachers and I do NOT like them. Being a Korean might seem like nothing but trust me, if you are in my shoe right now, you would feel the pain imidiately. Well, back to the story.

I walked slowly through the hallway and ofcourse, hugged my babysister Chloe, and greeted Mom , I'm back , like I usually do. It was boiling outside and the car seemed to make a traffic. But my mind, which was totally the opposite of whats happening right now, was rather empty and boring. The meeting in the church was canceld. Dam it! At least that could've entertained me...T.T...I wondered around what to do, and finally made decided to sleep. My bed sleep more confortable than it usually was, and my eyes seemed like it was glued together. The time flew off and I realized I slept 4 hours!!

By the time I woke up it was 5. I was STARVING!!!!With out even fixing my messy hair, I sprinted to the kitchen and flung open the refrigerator. I grabbed these food from the refrigerator: Orange Juice, Melon, Bread and Nutella. I spreaded some Nutella on my bread and then took all the rest of the food and went to my room. I obviously turned of my laptop, and went on fb, msn, and on my blog. No one was online. Only like 2 people I shall say to be correct. Where is everybody? Where's Violeta? Or Mari, Nysha, Tiffany, Julia, Yohana, and Sara? In most of the days I would talk to them for a long time and forget all my bordom. But today was different. I felt grumpy the way they were having fun and I wasnt...

" Yeji, get ready soon, you are going to go to your spanish teacher's house in a minute" Mom called from her room which was right beside mine. I didnt say one word and quickly finished my short simple dinner, which I made myself. At the same time I stood up and went to the kitchen to drop my plates I heard Mom shout louder to me.

" Oh sorry Yeji, I callled the teacher we cant study today because dad took my car" I was about to explode that minute. But I pressed my anger down and put my plates in the sink. Most people would be " Yay, the spanish lesson is canceled!!!!" But I wasnt like that TODAY...I needed something to ENTERTAIN me. I was literally dire to do SOMETHING!!

Now Im here, all bored, waiting for people to log on fb and in msn, and for tomorrow to come quickly which it isnt unfortunately. Im now studying S.A.T. words and ....and....and....suffering form the disease called " BORDOM"

#5= Tired of Taking Care Of my Sister

Mom was out, and I of course was back from school. I see chloe in my Maid, Semira's arms. She opened her arms and smiled brightly at me. I took her to Mama's room and brought all the toy to make her busy. I bought my laptop in the room , placing it on my Mom's bed. The sun was shinning, and trafic outside my apartment. I went on fb, hotmail, and in msn. Mari was online, so I decided to talk to her in webcam since I was bored.

We kept on talking and talking and showed eachother how our house looked like. Her house was big, pretty and clean. It wasnt even 10 minutes I had talked with her but Chloe started crying. I ran to the kitchen and made her some milk and gave her one little baby small bowl of rice. I went back and saw her lying on the bed quite exhausted. I fed her some milk and rice and saw her smile return. Mari , who was watching everything happen, said how cute she was and complimented all those good stuff about her. After Chloes food were all gone, her eyes started to close and started crying even more harder.

I quickly put her on my back and went to the living room and opened all the windown so that she could see while watching the sun go down. I was right, she did sleep. By the time I went back to Mama's room, I could here her breathing and carefully placed her on the bed. Failed, she started crying really loud. I put her back on my back again and patted her on the bag. She was sound asleep less than 2 minutes and I decided to try one more time. Yes it did work. I was relieved my mission of baby sitting was done and went back to what I was doing.

Best P.E Time Ever

I dropped my heavy backpack and laptop in the girls bathroom and ran out to the big gim. We didnt have to change because today is freeday. Well it is for us, since we all ran 4 laps under 12 minutes. Violeta, Mari, Nysha and I, all squshed up on the stage, is listen to what Coach Henter is saying.
" Ok guys, like I promised I am going to hand out some sweets" She shouted joyfully. Everyone screamed including me, as I see millions of candy bags flying over my head. I catched one and saw, 5 toosie rolls and one cherry popsicle in the small tiny bag. Good enough, I thought. Boom! I felt a sore pain on my hands and saw one juice on the stage. I took the straw out and drank it. Cold, fresh, cool juice , running down my throat. I opened my goodie bag and took the big lolipop. Cherry flavor, my favorite:) I put it in my mouth, feeling the taste melting on my tongue.
Me, who used to hate 7th grade P.E , loves this P.E class for the first time in her life. Everyone was busy. Mari and Violeta making fun of eachother and throwing stuff violetently but in a joking way, people playing soccer, people screaming, people acting crazy. I just sat there, laughing at how Mari and Violeta behaved, their act so funny I bursted out laughing and ended having tears in my eyes. But mostly, I was thinking and thinking what happened in spanish class, what someone had said, that surprised me. Nothing bad, no insults. The word she said kept repeating in my head like this broken radio. It bothered me concentrate, it made me forget what was going on...BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!
I jumped up, realizing we had to go.

Worst Day Ever...

A Wednesday, a day students love. I cam back from school, all exhausted. I had 2 test tomorrow. One for spanish, and the other one for science. And plus, I had other more homework to do.

I dropped my bagpack on my room, and ran to Mama's room to great her that I'm back from school. Chloe was there, playing with toys and blocks, as she smiled at me. She looked quite happy, her two arms open wishing me to carry her. I wrappped my arms around her hips, and I started doing funny movements. Mama was changing, while I took care of Chloe.

" Mom...Where are you going?" I asked curious.

" I'm going to go to Minimax to show the new embassy family where it is" Mama said brightly. I wished to run away right now and just do my homework in peace, but unfortunately I was too late. She wanted me to take care of the baby, in this school day... I saw her rushing through the door, as she waved bye to me.

I sighed heavily, knowing it meant I "had" to take care of the baby sister no matter what. I spent my whole time in Mama's room, on her wide bed. I felt a growl in my stomach, knowing it was begging for food. I ran to the kitchen fast so that Chloes wouldnt notice I'm gone because I kept her busy playing her blocks. I flung open the refrigerator and got out the orange juice and 2 bread. I ran back extremely tired and saw Chloe still busy playing with her two big wood blocks.

The time felt like forever so I went to my room, and got my grey sony Laptop. I placed it on Mama's bed, and did fb, msn, oovoo, blog, hotmail all at the same time. But that wasnt easy because Chloe was nudging me all the time.

" Minjeong, can you take care of her for at least 30 minutes???Mom hasnt come back and I took care of her over an hour straght" I begged.

" So? Why should I?" Minjeong replied staring at me the way I HATE!!!!! I wished to punch her right in the face, but I knew that wouldnt calm down my temper. I continued doing internet and then realized Chloe was crying. Not just crying , but REALLY loud. I turned back and saw Chloe that she had hit herself on Mama's bed. OUCH!!!I picked her up imediately, saying sorry and sorry over again. Minjeong came running and hit me really hard on the leg, snatching Chloe away from my arms. I felt a big lump in my throat, but I tried to swallow it back, but unfortunately I ended up crying.

" Why the world, do you take care of the baby like this Yeji??? Are you even a sister???God, you dont do anything proper in your life!!!!!!!" She yelled literally in my ear and pushed me. My mouth was closed, but it wished and wished to say that she doesnt have any right to say it was my fault since she didnt even bother helping me at the first place and she was the one watching this crappy shows on youtube.

I saw her turn her back and go to her room past those dark hallway. I stood there, crying and crying, regreting why I didnt faught back...

Slice Of Life: A Tuesday....

I sat down on the big blue carpet in the wolf room. Barely anyone, the sound so quiet, it made me want to sleep. I force my eyes up, as Nysha comes walking through the large wide blue carpet, dropping her bag pack hard on the floor. She greet eachother saying hi, as we both waited pactiently for others to arrive. Catertina came, then Mari, then Stephanie, then Mae.

The room was full of noises, making it harder for me to close my eyes.

After some minutes, I felt this "whhoooosh" noise passing by me. I new it was people but a lot of them were passing by me. I wondered why and looked where they were all going. There I saw, a crowd of people surrounding this new student. I knew who he was with out even looking at him.

I remember the time, when Papa told me there is a new family coming to Panama from Argentina. He said they were coming to Balboa and one is my age. I didnt really believe him until now. Barley no one from Korea has ever came to Balboa Academy. Not that I know off... Suddenly I rememberd the word my friend told me" I might move to Balboa" Now that I think of it, people are starting to come to Balboa more than go to another school. I felt weird in my heart, as I kept on pondering in my mind.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!

The bell surprised me, as it broke my daydreaming. Time for work, I thought. My mind stuffed with more questions but anyways I began the day.

S.O.L Day 1= Tired....

I rushed into the door, as I left my bagpack in the living room.

" Mom Im back!!!" I shouted weakly. I dragged my tired body to my room
and collapsed right onto my bed. Soft, cool, cozy all making me sleepy. There was a big day ahead of me. Hw, test, reading, going to blogs, fixing glogs...I forced my sleepy eyes up, sitting on my chair. I quickly turned my computer on, wishing to get over with hw,my worst enemies.

" Minjeong, could I have a cup of water PLEASE????" I asked out loud while Minjeong past my room.

"Sure, whatever..." She replied. I went straight to my blog, thinking to do my slice of life first. Now, as you can see, Im righting my slice of life, so tired , the only thing thats moving right now is my fingers...Minjeong came in with a cup of water and guess what???I was sleeping on my bed!!!!I heard this, just when my sister kicked me out of my bed...Sadly, I woke up and drank the water and did my homework.........so tired.....extremely tired.....unresistable .....zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

"He is a Fool"

Why Mama says that Booker T. Washington and George Murchison are fools is because in the book, A Raisin in the Sun, at page 103, Mrs.Johnson says that Booker.T Washington had said ," Education has spoiled many good plow hand" Mama thinks he is a fool, but Johnson doesn't. The speach that Booker. T Washington had said means that education makes people stuck up.And for George Murchison, he challenges the thought of other black people.Thats why Mama says ," I guess you better not waste your time with no fools" Also George forgets his African culture and submit the American culture more. He thinks being well educated means to have a good job and Beneatha thinks education is understanding and self-fulfilment. He is a fool because his famiy and he believes that becoming wealthy is more important his own blood and culture= Africa.

What Booker.T Washington and George Murchison have in common is that they are african-american and is what Beneatha use to discribe George=views, belief system, and their philosophies of life. They both think that education make people stuck up.

A Raisin in the Sun

In literature, as in life, a character may search for a better way of life. One of the character in the book Rasin in the Sun by Lorrain Hansberry that is searching for a better way of life is Beneatha. She tries to find her true identity and who she really is. In the book, page 62 Beneatha says, " You see, Mr.Asagai, I am looking for my identity!" Beneatha doesn't like her boyfriend, George but actually doesn't realize that she is closer to Asagai. She disires to be a Doctor no matter what situation she is in. In the book, they meet each other, and Asagai has bought her a Nigerian clothes. They discuss about how Africa is. She hopes to gain her real identity.

The other person who is searching for a better way of life is Mama Lena. In page 91, it says that Mama has bought Travis a house. Mama wants her family to be happy and actually want them to move into the world and wants Travis and Beneatha to be well educated. In page 44 she says "I aint rightly decided. Some of it got to be put away for Beneatha and her schoolin'-- and aint nothing going to touch that part of it. Nothing." Lena Younger ( Mama) wants to fullfill her dreams for her family to move up to the world. Mama wants to gain happiness and a peaceful life. She discuss a lot about how she would use her money, for it to be used it something special and useful which she later ended up buying a house with a backyard where many white people lives and made her dream come true. She wants the best for the family.
