once upon a time when I was a student!

Dear everybody!

First of all, Dear Amy. I read my yesterday's blog and surprised there was no consistence.... I honestly wrote a blog with sleeping... haha, that's so funny.
I will change a little about my answer to use 'even'. Please kindly have a look. Thank you in advance. I hope you had a good day today and enjoy the dinner with your family!:)

It's already 30th and I only have 2 days for my blog life!!! I noticed I did not write about myself, esp, the time when I was in school. So decided to write about it.

When I was a student, it's a shame but I was always 'Last minute person'. In my high school, all the scores was decided by the marks in the paper examinations. Performances or participations in the class did not even matter to it at all. So I always tried studying hard right before examinations. Then, I sometimes slept with opening my note book and trying to write something. You know what happens next? I found bad hand writing but slept again after 10 miniutes! I went over my note book and found it was not even hand writing. It looked like some old characters. haha. Did anyone have an experience like this?

I could say entrance exams to the university was toughest for the students ( when I was in school though... The situation might be different nowadays.)
So after I graduated high school, I felt like I enjoyed my student life SO MUCH! I belonged to the dance activities club and had stages with frinends. I also joined the discussion forum with Korean students, and the friends made me motivate for exchange study. I enjoyed the univ-student life:)

After the graduation of univ, I sometimes talk about the life nowadays with friends from Univ. We always say 'Real life finally came! We felt we can not even remember the student life, although it was just a year ago!'. I just would like to say, I sometimes miss being a student so badly but so suddenly.

If you are still a student, please do not worry about work life! Yes, I do think it is a real life and student life was VERY special! However you will learn many things from people or your work itself, and new things will always be happened. It really is different from student life so that's why I miss that time! hehe!!

I'm off to my bed now. Did you notice I tried using 'even' in the blog? It was not really successful though. 'Even' is always difficult for me>
Have a good evening for the people who are at night! Have a good day for the poeple who are in a day now:)

Regards,
Yumi

Hi Yumi! Itīs nice to know how was your student life :-). The years Iīve spent at school were remarkable! However, it had never crossed to my mind this hmm... how can I call this, hmm... well, I havenīt had this feeling of living a real life. I guess itīs because in this time, my student life and 'the real life' have already walked together. See you tomorrow, Ana Paula.

Hello Amy! Time flies! It's time to say good bye to you. I really love reading your posts; the issues you mentioned seem close and familiar to me. All the questions about the language you have asked Amy are my own problems as well, so thanks to you I get my head round them. Many thanks! Hopefully, I will still read your thoughts here on this comment blog page. Wish you a good health and success in you career. Best regards to your family. Myen.

Hello Yumi! When I was a student I was "last minute person" too! I always wrote my term papers and prepared for my exams at night right before examination or even in the morning (in the undeground on my way to the university). It was surprisingly easy to remember a lot of information during such a short period of time then (I'm not boasting:)). Tons of coffee - that's all I needed. But time has passed (just one year) and now I am not capable of performing such a "feat"... Is it due to my age?:)

Hi Yumi! I realise that august is almost finished. So I have to enjoy your last days in the blog. My days as a student were very good too, but I can say that I prefer the working life because I am more independent, although there are more responsabilities. Have a nice day.

How's everything? Yumiko!!! Right now I study at the fourth year of university , such the time has flow very quickly . I think it is a good time of life that whoever almost face the splendid or bad experience ahead of going to the real work. At the same way these experience make me stronger and already to encounter a new thing. Anyway it is a good opportunity to practice and to learn do the thing by yourself. If I miss it , I will be failure eternity,don't you think? Good luck to you.

Hi Yumi! its nice to see you as a student.I am really pleased to see your student life.I'm also a student now and enjoying this "SPECIAL LIFE".I hope I'll also enjoy my "University life" in the future. For me its also interesting to do any thing as a student.Good Luck

Hi, Yumi. Student life, it was really hard for me. I was born and brought up in a tiny island in the Arabian sea. The inhabitants are mostly illiterate. My father never knew which class I was reading. No food to eat. I continued attending school for two reasons: First there was midday meals for children. Second, there was particularly nothing to do at home. However I made my way to university and right now as I am writing these lines I have put in 30 years of teaching and honoured with National Award for the best teacher by the President Of India during the year 2000. Yumi, look, I'm a student even now. Have a nice day.

Thanks for all your contributions. This blog has now closed and can no longer accept new comments.
