About Exam #2

First, I think I did better on the test than last time. I could solve the problem in shorten time than before. Also I could gain my confidence while I figure out each questions. Most of all, there was no question that I can not write down anything, and it made me proud of myself.

The biggest thing I did for preparing the test was memorizing all the terms from the sheet. I noticed the importance of words memorizing from last exam. So I wrote down all the terms and it's meaning for a week. I tried my best because explain the term in English is quite different even I know it's meaning in Korean. As I guessed, most of the words came out in very first page. Unlike last time, I filled out all the blanks in my own words.

Last time, I spent almost all the time reading articles which Mr. Still handed out. This time, however, I did not look over the article at all. Instead, I could earn time to solve almost all the problem in the textbook. After I saw the some of the texts in text book printed on the exam sheet, I was on cloud nine. Without concerning a lot, I could go over smoothly.

In spite of I done much better than before, it does not mean my preparation for the test was perfect. I made a terrible mistake. I miss understood the range for the test. I thought the range for last test is excepted for this test and I did not worked on those part. In the above, I said I filled in the blank with self esteem. But actually it was only for what I studied. I spent a lot of time at thinking other terms. I will never make this kind of mistake again.

I have some parts which are improved and some are not. But Thomas Edison once said like this "Failure is but the threshold of success". With this experience, I got a lesson. In next exam, I will prepare more properly and achieve a better grade.

Bad eating habits.

    People need to eat well. Good eating habit makes people feel fresh and help them to grow up more ideally. Eating well makes us more likely to work on something, such as studying. However these days, many people do not eat well. They possess various bad eating habits.

    First of all, many people today go out to work without eating breakfast. Some people do not get breakfast with any reason but most of these people miss the meal because they do not have time. Especially people in big city are too busy to make breakfast at morning. So they just get coffee instead. 

    With similar reason as above, some people intake fast food all day. People who do not have enough time to get food just visit fast food restaurant and snap the burger. Man with less money do the same thing. Those foods make people full but they also make people difficult to control their mind. As we all know, they make people obesity. It causes many diseases such as diabetes. Most of all, we can hardly take in essential nutrition by eating fast food. It is critical for having healthy body. 
   
    It is not a good eating habit even though you do not eat fast food, if eating time is not stable. For example, there is a person who takes lunch every 12o’clock. Just for today, he is planning to eat at 2o’clock. His mind is thinking about lunch at 2o’clock but his stomach does not. It secretes gastric juice in twelve but nothing is there, which means you get heartburn. On the other hand, there will be no gastric juice when he actually eats, and it is not good for digesting.

    These are some of the bad eating habits. Many people have them. These are especially appears to the social beginner. People who just stand by themselves are easy to get the habits because their mother does not cook for them anymore. I want to cite to them. “Make good eating habit and be healthy!”  

Cellular phone addiction.

Barbara Graham, in her article “Confessions of a Quit addict” says her addition to quitting gave her “a rush”, “a charge”, “a biochemical buzz”. In my case, cellular phone addiction provided me those exciting feelings. I used to play games, text with friends and watch YouTube almost whole free time! However, I lost my benefits while I am raptured by this amazing machine.

First of all, I cannot concentrate my work. I have a lot of stuff to study and plans to work on. However, game sound I just played, funny jokes in the text and the images from YouTube which I watched impressively keep ringing in my head. I have to struggle with those while working and of course, progress did not going well. Also I have no time to start new activity. Our world is full of entertainment! I want to go Africa and watch the sunrise at dune 45 with my best friends. Learning how to play drum and keyboard is also great thing. But temptation of using my phone bothers all these wonderful things.

To get rid of it, I need to find and work on something interesting which can remove my interest from this habit. Having exercising and go to training center can be one of them. I heard that if people move their body, they do not think other things except what they are working on that very time. Or I can start music with my friends. In the above, I wrote that I do not have time for learning instruments. However, starting something I am interested in with someone else might be more interesting than just looking on the screen of my cellular phone.

After I get rid of cellular phone addiction, my life will change drastically. I can focus on anything I do in that very time. Which means, I can be more faithful in living my life.
