Sorry I haven't been replying to e-mail, entries, and comments for too long.  Many things have taken place, and the holidays made things even crazier. I finally had more patients at work the past two months.  At the same time I've had a few seminars. Since Saturday, November 19, 2011, I...

My first college finals were drawing near, which meant that professors and teaching assistants (TAs) were frequently talking about them.  Some even held review sessions. During a world history discussion section, the TA said that a few years ago, one student wrote on his 20th century history...

"They should have started it decades ago," I thought as I read the internet article, Can Schools ‘Eliminate’ Bullying, as Education Secretary Says They Must? on Wednesday, October 27, 2010.  Instead, it took the recent suicide of a few bullied victims to start intervent...

Weekly Theme: Have you ever been discriminated against? Stereotypes and discrimination have happened throughout history. Events such as the Feminist Movement and Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement have proved it.  Africans, Mexicans, Asians, and Native Americans have been t...

The four days at Anime Expo 2009 sure flew by fast, but I'm not sure if it would be better if the event lasted longer.  Last year's experience played quite a role in my decisions and actions this year.  For example, I brought  a bigger tote bag to be able to fit in the AX book...

Both classes were cancelled on Saturday, August 16, 2008 because of professors being out-of-town.  Our evening class will still be cancelled next Saturday, August 24, because the professor will still not be able to return from China.  She went there not to watch the Olympics, but for a ...

Many high school students, which includes some of you, are taking AP (advanced placement) tests now.  I see and hear people talking about them, especially on the internet, though I try to avoid.  The discussions and materials about AP tests give me bad memories. The time of AP tests wer...

I first read this story a few years ago, and liked it.  Since then, I've seen it in e-mails and websites.  Now I want to share it at my online journals. A Story of Friendship‏ One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home…
