Lost Passion...

I want to ask myself.

Do I have passion of my study now?
Do I have passion of my life now?

Human Communication,
Introduction of Arts Management & Admission,
Human Development & Learning,
Understanding Media,
AND Popular music and film music: Listening Skill.

When I attend these module, I cannot find my passion of my study.
Just.. I heard the lecture passively.

I want to be a active learner.
Really, When I got the Uncondional offer from UCAS.
I decided to be active learner.

However... After 7weeks...
I do not know...

What am I doing?
Am I going well?

Hey! Ji Ho, You are a student!!

On brookes Bus [U1, Harcourt Hill -> Gipsy Lane]

Late arrival...
This incident gives very unhappy accident to me sometimes...

Today, i arrived at harcourt hill about 30 minutes later. [However, it's before the lecture]

Monday breakfast class, Human communication.
Today, i examined our and others' poster with our team members.
Okay... Our one is not bad than others. [I hope so]

The terrible incident happend after then.
I took the quiz.
I believed i might be solve easily.
BUT......

My expection is perfectly wrong.
I wrote the answer on wrong side.
Blanks were more than answers.

Recently, i`ve faced a lot of strange situations.
These things might be effect to my study.
[in addition, i'm toooooooooooo lazy]

Hey... Jiho.
You are an international student.
Your learning process is different from British.
C O N C E N T R A T E ! ! !

Long time No write... (Pu... Sorry..)

Sorry.. I have not written new posts on here.
Because..

1,I am so BUSY ^_____________________^;;;;


Who said the First year is clubbing season!


It's wrong! At the least, for International Students!!!





OK... I might be have very small task (Homework) than you.


However, the difficulty is different between British and a dullness Korean.
I might be spend most of time for doing task. (Really??)

OK.. This is my time table for 2007/08 first semester.

I attend 5 modules. (Wow~~)

In addition, I have two special lecture, which is not listed on timetable (Yes.. It's optional but I interest in), Monday Afternoon and Wednesday Morning.

Bingo! I am a five day attendance student! (Hang on, Was I a five day attendance student at my Korean College?)

Anyway... It's very tough schedule.

2,YES... I am a LAZY...

One of the my favourite TV programme, 'Lazy Town'! (How old am I?)

Hang on? Is it relatied with my lazy life?? (Well... It is not...)

Anyway... Yes. I'm so lazy.

So.. I have used FACEBOOK!!! (Sorry. Google Blogger)

OK... Less Facebooking and More Blogging... I will.

3,Lots of technical problems.

My laptop was broken again so it went to ACER service centre two weeks ago but it will go again because my speaker is not working well (Sound with noise). Oh my god...

In addition, I losted my mobile phone and found nextday (without SIM card so I bought replacement SIMcard)

Wow.. How's the earth moving? I do not know...

Anyway... It's time for sleeping because I have to get up at 6.

The First posting from Morrell K7 | The lack of communication

My Weak 0 at Oxford Brookes past as the speed of light.

I've got a veeeeeeeeery tiny room (Morrell K7C) and four BRITISH room mates who are younger than me (Approximately 8 years... When they were birth, I went Primary school in South Korea.).

I am happy with my house even Living room's TV aerial is tooooooo bad. (Yes... It's a living room.. not bed room. My bed room doesn't have TV aerial point even I'm a subscriber of TV Licence)

Okay, I wrote about my room mates.
As before I wrote, they are four British who are 18 or 19 years old.
The important point of them is they've got the freedom from their parents.

Also, it's the first time they live with a strange Korean Pig...
(Oh, Sorriness my room mates)

This situation made communication problems.
I cannot express my idea to them enough.
However, the more serious problem is I cannot understand what they express.
Okay, the example.. If you can understand other country's teenager's express, your language level is extremely advance. (Isn't it?)

So... I am alone in my house.
I just give scolding or very very old joke (It is not a joke and common expression.) to them.

Yes, it's not their falut. (Really)
It's my fault because my English is not enough to communicate with them.
(Lovely, Jiho's Teletubbies English)

Right than... What is the tomorrow's module?
Answer : Human Communication

Oh My God... (In addition, I should leave here at 7.30 AM!!!!)
I hope to know the key of this problem by this module.

Okay... Let's start Week 1 at Oxford Brookes.

After 797days... (Yes.. I've got the UNconditional offer)

2nd. July. 2005 I came to London, the UK.

...

And... after 797days

I've got this news.

I am an Art management & Media study student

at Oxford Brookes from 17th September.

...

...

...

I can just say THANK YOU TO YOU.

The End of The World... Again

I seem to forget why I am here - Oxford.

It's the final chance for me. If I fail this course, My life will be NO WAY.

I have finished Final test of Pre-Sessional Course (Oxford Brookes University).

It's absolutely horrible.

I could not understand the lecture for listening exam.

I could not take the reading exam. (Section 3 is absolutely BLANK)

And I wrote one of the horrible essay.

If you ask why you did not take the exam well.

I can say just "Sorry, I did not prepare that"

Yes... It's true.

I do not care this exam. Just I think "OK.. It will be easy"

Why?... I cannot say why I thought...

Yes.. It's perfectly my fault.

Now I serious worry about fail.

If I do not fail, it should be that my assignment result rescues me.

However, The final score is Exam 60% and Assignment 30%. (10% is attention)

It's the last chance.

I should concentrate this course but I do not do that now.

I am not vistior of Oxford.

I should be the student of this university!!!

Sorry for my family, friends and tutors...

I showed very poor + horrible ability to them.

To Pakistani Government and People in Red Mosque

Why are lots of Pakistani soldiers, polices and students fighting and killing?

Photo from BBC NEWS http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/6288704.stm

Relative News

Pakistan militant cleric killed [BBC NEWS]

Pakistan's Red Mosque leader killed [Aljazeera English]

(Add) I talked with my roommates who comes from Pakistan. They think it is very shameful situation and do not believe students who are in Red mosque are relative with Terror Group such as Taliban.

Today is 7, July.

Yesterday, I just thought 'Live Earth' Concert.

Yes.. It's very amazing concert.

Lots of musician sing for a serious problem, 'Global Warming'.

Also, I am watching South Africa concert live streaming now.

Anyway, today is one of the sad historical day in the UK.

About two years ago, some of London transports were attracted by bomb.

It didn't pass 24 hours when London hold 2012 Olympic.

(Relative site : In Depth London Attacks [BBC NEWS])

After two years, most of people look like to forget this incident.

Okay... After two year, which newses are listed on BBC news web site?

We have enjoyed the 'Live Earth' Concert and thought 'Climate change' with lots of people. Good.

Also, BBC Gaza correspond, Alan Johnston, who was kidnapped by an armed group in Gaza, returned to his house. Good.

Wow.. After two years, our world finds the peace finally, doesn't it?

Hang on minute! What's the headline? 'Iraq market truck bomb kills 105'

Oh my dear... After two years, we see the massacre again?

Why am I in England.

OK... I want to discuss about this news article with you.
Please read this article before when you read this post.

English Is The Golden Tongue for S. Koreans
SEOUL -- Just a week into his summer vacation, 15-year-old Min-Kyu Kim
already has a tight schedule and ambitious goals: On this particular day, he
intends to memorize 600 words of English vocabulary, solve 10 pages of SSAT math
problems and take practice tests for English. He estimates the tests... more – by Joohee Cho

From Washingtonpost.com (The Washington Post)

1, I met my Korean friend on an Instant Messenger.
Friend: "I do not understand why people study at oversea country"
Me: "Why?"
Friend: "Because I think if someone study more incentive, it's enough in my country"
I did not answer that because I agree with him.


2, Some months ago, my sister couple traveled some European countries and I traveled France and Italy with them.
The one thing that I surprised to them was they communicated better than me in there. Of course, they speak a bit of English and don't speak other languages.
My sister husband said "Simply the best"

3, I serious consider to attend Pre-sessional course from 23rd, July at Oxford Brookes University.
The problem is money. The course fee and housing fee are quiet expensive for me. (About... more than £2500 together)
If I got IELTS overall 6 (with Reading and Writing over 6), I do not need to attend that course. But...

How much have I spended money and time for learning English?
And, how much improve my English?
Why do I learn English in the UK where has lots of incidents?

The answer is Oh My GOD...

(P.S.) I want to share another news article form South Korea. This news article is about a man who has been rejected his UK student visa from embassy of United Kingdom in South Korea. This article is written by Korean and I show the article is translated to English by Google Translate tool.
http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbs.co.kr%2Fnocut%2Fshow.asp%3Fidx%3D554956&langpair=ko%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools
From CBS NoCut News (http://www.nocutnews.co.kr/ [Korean])

(P.S.2) Anyway What's your opinion about this news article?
Is it good for Korean or not? Please write your comment here.

Yes... Enjoy Myself..

Song (The Specials - Enjoy Yourself)

Bloody IELTS finished.
Yes.. I can enjoy for two weeks until when the result paper arrived.

However... I should drink alone.

Game Over. Insert the coin. (after IELTS Speaking)

Already... I am hopeless after morning task.

And now, i have just finished my Speaking task.

Part 1. I had a quesition my city (Where I was born) and rain.
Part 2. About the cloth which I recently bought.
Part 3. These questions about Fashion (80%) and Shopping(20%).

Firstly, I failed to control my voice speed. I spoke generally when I speak with my friends.
(many people think it is not a problem but it is my serious weakness)

Secondly, I did not checked my pronouncations. Really, I spoke some wrong pronouncation.

Thirdly, Lots of times, I felt a panic so I did not answered well.

OK... Perfectly... I have taken very very disapointed exam.
How do I do? Yes... it's time for drinking.
