Starting Entry
Tomorrow I will start my life in the university. I am looking forward to see what will my roommate be like. Is she pretty? Is she outgoing like me, or is she shy? Is she an international student? If she is an international student where does she come from? I have so many questions in my head, and I have no idea what will happen in my first year in the university. I will also have less time to stay with Kyle. I think I will miss him so much. He had became an important part of my life. Hope my life will going well.
September 1st, sunny
Today is my first day in university. The school is big and have many beautiful building around the campus. I met many new students and made a lot of new friends in the orientation program. They are nice and friendly. But my roommate didn't come to school today, a sister in the school told me that my roommate is a Korean. I am so curious about her, what is a Korean looks like? Does she look the same as American, and does she dress the sea as us? I am look forward to see her soon.
September 3rd, sunny
My roommate finally arrived school, her name is Sookan. I saw her dressed in Korean tradition clothes in the lecture hall. She was pretty in those clothes, she told me those clothes are called Hanbok. My roommate is a little bit quiet, but she looks nice. I believe we will be a good friend in the future and we will have a wonderful dorm life in the rest of the year.
September 4th, sunny
I went shopping with Sookan. We bought some bed staffs in the super market, I think we had a happy shopping time, and I started speak more with Sookan. Her English is not very good, sometime she is hard to explain herself, but I will help her to practice her English. In the evening, we went to have a dinner with some students from older class, we have a good evening tonight.

Today I went to my mixer in this school. It was pretty nice, I made some new friends in the mixer. Kyle came to the mixer to join me, I was so happy to see him today. He wear a nice blazer, he looked handsome tonight, I glad that we can be couple. Kyle also bring some friends to the mixer, they are nice, and talkative. I had a good memory tonight.

Today is a raining day. The first month had pass few days before. My classes run good, but I don't really like to do the homework every nights. I prefer to stay with my friends and talk with them in the study hall. Sookan always study very hard during study hall. Same as today, but maybe because so she is a scholarship student so she always need to study hard to get a good grade to keep her scholarship. And it will be hard for her as a international student, I will keep helping her on her speaking skill.
October 13rd, cloudy
It is Saturday today, I went to the downtown to shopping today. I bought some new clothes today, my favorite one is a black dress. It looks really beautiful and it make people look slim when I wear it. I love the design of that dress, I think I am going to find a jewelry to wear with it, maybe pearls necklace will be a good choice.

Tomorrow I am going to try to be the club president of the dance club in our school. I hope people can chose me, I love dance very much, and I went to a lost mixer in our school. I believe the people in our school will vote for me. I am seem like the perfect chose for them to vote for. I hope Sookan can try to be some job in our school someday. It should be a good experience for her to do that.

Sookan made a new friend these day, her name is Marci. She live across our room, her room is a single room. She love reading and photography, I can tell from she usually use camera to take a photo in our school. Sookan and her seem very close now. I am so happy to see that Sookan start to make friend with other now. She looked so quiet before, I think I will introduce my friends to Sookan one day.

Today is the first day of the year, I was so excited. This midnight, I cross the year with Kyle, we sat next to a lakes, I lay my head on his shoulder he pitted his hand to hug me on her shoulder.

Today, our new semester started. I try some new classes in this semester, same as Sookan. I am so happy to see she chose a art class in this semester. I think she will have less pressure on study in this semester and have more free time. This is good for her to know more about America, now Sookan doesn't know much about America, I think she need to join more activity like mixer and some weekend trips in our school in her free time.
January 20th, sunny
The weather become colder now. Even though today is sunny, I still felt very cold when I was walking on the street. So I went downtown to buy a coat. I invited Mary to come with me. She is a student from the same grade as me, she had short brown hair and beautiful brown eyes. We have many same classes like American literature, and Europen history, and because we have so many same hobbies, we become a good friend to each other. We ate lunch in a Italy restaurant, we got pizza and pasta they taste wonderful. When I went back to school, Sookan just finished her baby sister work in professor Bennett's house.

Kyle came to see me today. We went out to have dinner together, we had steak in a steakhouse in the down time, the steaks in there are good, I think I am going to bring Sookan to there and have a dinner together. Because the times we had dinner together are very limited, she always stay in library, and only eat sandwiches for dinner, I think she need to be good to herself sometime.

Today I made three news friends in the school mixer. They are all older than me, one of them is a basketball player in our school, his name is James. He is very tall with a curly brown hair. He is the tallest guy I ever seen in my life, another two is a couple, the girl named Catalina the boy named Jack. I can always see them hold each other hand and walk together in the campus, but I never talked to them. They are both very humor, I believe their life should be happy everyday.

I am so busy this week, that I should finish a big project before March. I didn't go out to hangout with my friends this week. Most of the time I stay in the room and doing the project, it is a history project about French Revolution. I need to make many research on the Internet to get more information and make my project be better. I really hate this kind of life, but this project worth so much so I should do it well. But I finish it today, so I am going to relax myself tomorrow.

She told I can use it to carry money and private staff in it when I go to downtown or movie trip to some other short activities. I love it very much. Kyle gave me a bracelet, it looks simple, but when I look carefully, I saw there are some words on the bracelet, it says "love Ellen forever." It is so special for me, I will keep this forever.

These day I saw Marci is reading a series of book call "Hunting Game". The story is about how there is a group of people in the world have super nature power. For example some have super strong body that nothing can hurt him. This group of people don't like each other, so they all try to defeat each other, and try to be the king of the world. It seem interesting to me, I don't like reading but the plot in the book makes me feel interested. I think I am going to start reading too.

Today our school volleyball team was on the final against another school from Washington state. The game was exciting, the score is always close so the audiences were all very nervous, nobody know who will win the game in the end. In the last minute, the gym was quiet, nobody make any noise, finally we saw the top player in our school jump, stretch her hand and then used a smash to finish the game. We won, everyone in our school was excited, we are the champion!!!

After I finish, I saw Kyle was standing in the snow and waiting for me. He wearer a black coat and a grey scarf, he look so perfect in the snow, the sense just like a picture on the post card. He came here to get me and had a dinner together. We had a wonderful night and I am looking forward our dance final performance.
April 10th, rainy
Today we did our final dance performance. First, we had a group dance, we did perfectly, nobody made any mistakes. After the group dance is my solo dance. My dance background music is "drop in the ocean." It is my famous song, I heard it in our school morning meeting, I love the melody, it make me think a lot. I love the feeling we I was dancing alone on the stage, I believe my friends and family should pound of me. It is a unforgettable memory for me.
April 20th, rainy
Kyle gave me a marriage ring, I was surprised and happy. He put the ring on my finger gently. I my face turn red, I was afraid to look at him, I was so shy at that moment. I told this to my parents, the thing that I can't believe is they asked me to give the ring back to Kyle. I was so mad at them, I will never did that, and I decide run away with Kyle. Sookan said that I should bring Kyle to meet my parents. But I don't want to do that. I believe I will have happiness life with Kyle.
May 1st, sunny
Today I went to see my parents with Kyle. Because think maybe Sookan is right. I was so nervous today, I afraid I would had another argument with my parents. But the everything went well today, my parents think Kyle is polite, and nice. They can let us be together, but I should finish my university first. I think I should apologize to Sookan, she is right, I should bring Kyle to meet my parents.
May 17th, cloud
It is my last month in this year. I did so many things in this year. Tonight, Sookan and me had a long conversation, she told me that her mother was died few weeks before. I was shame that I didn't know before, I should know that, I was her roommate, I didn't know how to comfort her. I can tell she was feeling bad from the emotion showed on her face. I kept silence, I didn't know what else can I do. I hope she can come over it, I couldn't think what would happened if my mother died.
May 20th, sunny
Today I took all my exam. I went to met Kyle right after school. Today weather is good, on the way to Princeton, I can heard the bird was singing, the flower next to the street smell good, everything was beautiful after the final exam. I hope Sookan also did well on her exam. She said that she will stay in the school, I believe I will see her again in the summer vacation again.
Ending Entry
My first year of university has finished. After all, everything goes good, I had a lot of new friends, especially Sookan, she is so special. She is my first Korean friend, I hope I can go to Korea one day. I can still remember the first time I saw her, she was in with long black hair, and dressed in the Hanbok. She looks pretty, and shy, after one year, we get closer and know each other more. I just got a painting from her today, there is a large, pink crystal vase holding a bouquet of white chrysanthemums on the picture. I love it so much, I think I should return something special to her. This year seem so short for me, I believe I will doing better next year. Goodbye, my freshmen year!
