fix Max
It was really excited to start doing our project. I mean we actually started a week before but measuring and drawing, we just started today. It harder than what I thought. I had to draw a shape that goes to the P and, it looked way small. So I had to think about it for few minutes. Also I have the smallest shape in our classroom too. I thought that other classmate’s shape should be harder than mine. It was hard to draw a semi-circle on my shape. I used a ruler and I had a protractor. It was really helpful but the protractor did not help on the other classmate’s semi-circles since it was too small. I am excited to help Mr. Nakagawa on cutting woods that we made. We have to be careful when we cut the woods but, if we cut the woods that means we are half way done to our project.

the money Max
I thought it was impossible to figure it out. However, I finally figure that out during the weekend. So the solution is when the manager came back with 50 dollars 3 of us share it to 10 dollars and 20 dollars left. We gave to manger the 20 dollars. So if we add up the money that we spent on the hotel and manager is 270 dollars. And we have 10 dollars each so that makes 30 dollars. So if we add up 270 dollars and 30 dollars it becomes 300 dollars. I was so confused, because how the hack that can be. I was so worried about to figuring about the problem. However, now I am happy hahaha.

Yesterday on the mission
Yesterday on November 22, there were the teacher, Jacky Yu, Max Kim, and me at the back of the school doing some activity. This activity is dangerous and intense for the kids and girls because it needed to use electric saw. First, we can possibly cut our own fingers off by accidently. So, we had to be really cautiously with this electric saw. We left the dorm at two pm, and then we were ready by half past two because we had to set up everything, such as wood, electric saw, and place to set down the wood. Before we started this work, we were a little bit nervous about the saw. Also, we were worried about how long we were going to take to get this done. After we were doing this work, we enjoyed it a lot because we had never done this before. Therefore, we could do that all day long to finish this work. Eventually, we took about three hours including cleaning and preparing to accomplish this work. Finally, the consequence of this project came out not too bad. Literaly, it comes out terrific, and we are proud of this hard working.

I had a lot of fun cutting woods with the hand saw. It was my first time using the hand saw. First, it was kind scary because you never know what is going to happen. However, it turns out really good. We did not destroy any of our woods and it actually looks really cool. First when we start the project I never thought of there is way to finish it. However, we did it and it works well. I think we are like 50percent done on our project. We also had some troubles on cutting. It was hard to cut curve lines on the letters. We just have to cut last part of woods and paint, decorate the TMP logo. I am really excited to get done with our project. It will be awesome to have project done.

THE PROCESS OF DOING OUR PROJECT
SEONJIN NA(23.NOV.09)
I thought the project that we are doing would take long time because we haven’t done this before. However, our project is going on faster than I expected. We thought about project we are going to do. After we decided what we are going to do, we measured the letter hanging on the wall next to the auditoriom and calculated into size we wanted. We bought the woods from the wood shop and drew the line on the wood. I think it was hardest thing that I did for the project to draw real letter on the wood. I had difficulties of measuring the angle. Last weekend,Mr. Nakagawa, Max, Tatum, and Jacky did cut the woods. I realized i measured wrong size and learned how i should measure right size. I felt sorry for everybody. However, they did good job with my letter eventhough I did wrong. Today, we decided how we make the letter as three dimention. We will going to put the other woods around the letter. So we marked the line in the space to put the stick in the middle of the letter. I can’t wait until it would complitely be made by us.
They didn't criticize you. You just experienced measuring with others. Everything you learn here will be great experience for you!!

Project Process
Since we had a "tmp" logo project. We had to come up with idea about what we will going to do. After that we decided to doing food project and reform project, we thought we will going to do those. However, the teachers were not available, so we tried to do reform project. First time, we thought about reform furniture but later we decided to doing lantern project. Then we come up with "tmp" logo project. Also we had to come up with materials. After we choose the woods, we went to see woods for using it. Then each person draw each person's logo and boys cut the logo on the weekends. Because they just can cut straight, they cut my letter "t." So I had to draw other "t" and we decide to cut that "t" and other letters later. We still have to decide what color we will go to paint on the letter and how we will go to do for side and how we will go to hang the "tmp" logo on the wall.

According to last friday, we had to figure the question out. So, I now come out with an idea. In that case, they paid 250 dollars. But they got 50 dollars back. Then they gave 20 dollars for the tips, and the total that they paid is 270 dollars.
Eventually, they only paid 270 / 3 = 90 dollars each persons. The consequences for this question are $ 90 from each, and they kept $ 10 to themselves.

They get $50 back and and they give $20 for tip and they get $30 for each. When calculate how much money did they spend, the thought they lose $10. But $250+30+20=300. In $90 it's include tip.
Each person spend $90. So 90*3=270. They spend $250 for room. 270-250=20 and 20 is for worker.

Where does 10 dollars go??
SEONJIN NA (22.NOV.09)
Let’s assume a situation that happened in the hotel. Max, Mari, and I went to hotel to stay and paid 300 dollars for a day. Next day, one of the hotel managers knocked our room and talked about money that we paid last night. He was saying about they got wrong amount of money from us. It costs 250 dollars. So he gave us 50 dollars back. We divided each 10 dollars and gave to the manager 20 dollars for a tip. We calculated how much we did spend for hotel for making sure about it. However, ten dollars are gone. The reason why ten dollars are gone is because we calculated each 90 dollars and added 20 dollars that we gave the manager for a tip. So we calculated again. We added 250 dollars, 30 dollars and 20 dollars and got right amount of money that we spend.

Yesterday and today we drew the own TMP logo. Before we draw on the wood, we measured and went to the building center. We have to draw two TMP logo in the class. I think we are going to draw again because we have to help who are not finish. When we drew the logo, we have to choose what size we need. After we decided what place I want, I began to draw. Max helped me a lot, so I could finish early. Howeve who are not finish, we should help them tomorrow . So this weekend we can cut the logo out in the school. I hope tomorrow we can finish this drew, so we can decide what color we need or something else we have to do. In my opinion I thank for Max helped me to finish it. Even though we have problem, when we were drawing, but we found the way, and then we finally finished it. I am really getting excited because this project is really cool.

It was really excited to start doing our project. I mean we actually started a week before but actually measuring and drawing, we just started today. It was not easy than what I thought. I had to draw a shape that goes in to the P but it looks way small. So I had to think about it for few minutes. Also I have the smallest shape in our classroom too. I thought that other classmates shape should be harder than mine. It was hard draw a semi-circle on my shape. I used a ruler and I had a protractor. It was really helpful but the protractor did not help on the other classmate’s semi-circles since it was too small. I am excited to help Mr. Nakagawa on cutting woods that we made. We have to be careful,,,,,about,,,,, but if we cut the woods that means we are half way done to our project.

My experience from yesterday and today
Finally, we got three pieces of wood, and we are half way to finish this project now. From yesterday, we started to put TMP logo on the wood. We used pencils and rulers to draw a line, curve, and angles plus protector, too. So, we used pencils to make a line on the wood. To make the line and curve look sharper, we are going to use marker cover the pencil’s line. We were having a hard time with the angles and some alphabets, such as M, T, and P. Today, we make a copy of ours own pieces on another wood. Jacky had a little problem with his piece because of his miscalculate angle, but he got a little bit help from Max. Aaron was the coolest one because he tried to help Seon Jin with her “M” alphabet. Furthermore, Marie and her “T” alphabet were going pretty well. I am the one that have to do “P” alphabet, so I decided to use flexible ruler, which it helps me a lot to do the curve parts. Nevertheless, we enjoyed this activity all together, and we worked hard with the teacher supervised us from the beginning to the end.
good job!!!

Drawing "TMP" logo
Yesterday and today, we drawed the "TMP" logo. We have to make exactly same as "TMP" logo. It was not that easy like what I thought. Because we have to make exactly 90 degree and exact length. First time, I draw the line with 90 degree but when I used long and 90 degree staff such as white board and wood, it was not 90 degree and it was not connected same two lines. I was embarrassed, but Mr. Nakagawa helped me to draw exactly 90 degree and made two lines connected with white boards. However, mine was not that difficult, so I can finished my "T" logo on the time. Seonjin could not finished hers. She said her "M" logo is hard, but I cannot understand. She just had to use ruler and protractor. The only thing she need was measure. I finished mine so I think I can help hers tomorrow.

SKETCH THE LINE ON THE WOOD
SEONJIN NA (18.NOV.09)
We sketched the ‘TMP’ letter on the wood. I thought ‘M’ would be easy to draw because it doesn’t have curved shape. However, it was really hard to draw. I had a 30cm ruler so I had hard time do draw straight line. Although it looked straight to me, when Nakagawa looked at whole letter it was not straight at all. Also when I drew the middle parts of ‘M’, I should know the angle of it. Also, it was hard to keep the balance of drawing middle part. So I went to upstairs and measured the real letter again. I was so glad about that Aran helped me. Because if he didn’t help me at all, I would make mistakes a lot. Right now, I know how it was hard to draw the letter. I am glad about having new experience.
"And" will never come to the beggining of the sentence.

last friday, we went to the building center to buy the wood for our TMP logo. So, we left before the school was over. Taking suburban, we all every exciting. we measure the data again and again, for making the TMP logo perfect. when we finish it, we wanted to show the TMP logo in front of all the tmp students and teachers. To make TMP logo we discussed long time, when we arrived the building center, it smelled so bad, such as restroom.

Last Friday we went to building center for we want to buy some woods, so we can make TMP logo next week. We closed the wood, when we arrived the building center. We were meeting the Jordon’s father, so he exampled and help us to chose the wood which one we need. Singing by Tatum, I tried to talk to him shut up. Tatum always make some noisy, such as sing, talking with himself. Listened by my I pod, my I pod power was gone. To the boy dorm, Mr. Nakagawa was talking about what is the plane for next week. In my opinion we will make it this project because I believe we can have fun in this project. We spent a lot of time to think about the project, so we will be fun.

My experience at the building center
On last Friday, we went to the building center. Checking the wood at the building center, we found a lot of materials over there. To get the best material, we had to ask an expert, which are the people who work there. Talked to the guy with a hat, he was Jordan Maska’s dad. We had a little conversation about this project and wood, so they could help us get the exactly kind of wood and the size we want. They are going to cut the woods, for us to do the TMP logo. We had a lot of fun together, such as driving a car, talking, and discussing about this project. In my conclusion, this project is made by step by step, which is really fun. Even though this project is not over yet, I enjoy it a lot more than you can imagine.

Last Friday we went to the building center. Experiencing, I saw a lot of stuffs, such as woods, tiles and the sticks that made out of metal. Outside of the center there were a lot of woods. We got helped by my soccer whose name is Jim Maska, so we can get over with the finding wood fast. We choose wood that called CDX, for that was the right size. Helped by Jim, he told us that they can cut the woods for us too. It was a great experience. We learned some about woods. For example, sizes of the woods and how to distinguish the difference of the woods. Now we can get started over our project. To finish the project, we have a lot of work left. However, it was helpful and good experience.

To get started, we went to the building center at seventh hour. We had finished measuring the letter and calculating to the real size, so we were ready to buy the woods. Arriving at the building center, I smelled the woods and paints. Actually, I don’t like to go to the wood shop, such as Home depot, for it is not my interest place. We tried to look for wood by ourselves but it was difficult to find proper wood. Suddenly, we met one guy who knew Max. He tried to help us and explained about price, size, and cutting line of wood. Helped by him, we found the wood that we really like. We bought three woods. Tomorrow, we might draw the line on the wood. I am so excited to draw on it.

On Friday, we went to the building center for find woods in there. When we went through several doors, we came out to outside again. Their has ton of woods were set in there such as redwood, pine tree and so on. I thought processing woods will be there, but every woods were unprocessing. So I surprised. It was absolutely different than my thought. Trying to look around wood, we can not see exactly what we want. Because it was windy outside, so we were freezing. Helped outside to find wood, the guy was funny and knew what we need exactly. We didn't have to wait that long. He indicated thin, flexible wood but we want thicker wood so we follow him to see thicker wood . We decided to take that thick wood and we went back to the store. To avoid windy, Seonjin and I ran to the store. The workers promise to ready to prepare the woods for us and we leave there.

Today
When I walked into this Mr. Hiroshi’s classroom, he said that we are going to have a little bit fun activity today. So, what we did today was pretty fun, but it was complicate, too. Because we have to measure and calculate the size of TMP logo, we have to use the rulers to do this. Although I brought the ruler to do this measuring, I have to use pencil, eraser, and a piece of paper to draw a diagram of “P” alphabet. I have to do “P” alphabet because I was the first one that lost in rock, paper, and scissor game. Therefore, it was only “P” alphabet left, and I did not have any chance to choose anything else. After we did all the measuring, we went back to the classroom. Then we started discussing about the size, length, and width of the alphabets. To make it more clearly, we are going to draw a diagram on the graph paper. Also, we use the scale or ratio, which is 1: 24 cm, to calculate the sizes.

The Discussion about the TMP symbol
After we have been discussing about how to make an enormous TMP symbol for a week, we have learned and shared experience together. In the beginning, it is actually started with Lantern, which is a favorite decoration of Japanese. Moreover, Lantern could be made by paper, bamboo tree, or other materials else. Therefore, Lantern gave is the key, and it gave us an idea to build whether TMP logo or Monarch, which is a mascot of the Thomas More Prep Marian high school. Then we decided to start with the TMP logo first because it is easier to make than the Monarch. Now, we are still working on it, and we are hoping that the project would come out terrific. Today, we got another great idea to separate TMP symbol to six parts of them. Although we chose to use wood to make this project, we have to calculate the length, width, and how big of the wood to make the logo. If we do really great on calculation, this project would be perfect. So, tomorrow we are going to continue about this project again. For example, we need to bring the rulers with us tomorrow, for measuring the size of the wood on a piece of paper. In my opinion, this project takes a lot of time, and we work hard as a team, too. So, I wish we could get through this project all together with smiles. We all together have an initiative and creative ideas.

We measured the small TMP logo today. We spent an hour to measured, and everybody have one pieces to measure, so we measured six pieces of TMP logo. We were thinking about how big and how long we need, after we finished the measure. We had the problem, when we finished the measure because we could not decide how big. However we finally solve this problem, so I think we will get better for this project. In my opinion we always have problem for the project, but we always solve one problem by one problem. So I hope we can finish this big and crazy project because this is cool when we finish it.

Today we kept making our TMP logo. we went to second floor, and measured the data about the TMP logo. It took us all the hour.we need to do very carefully. The TMP logo had six parts. So, we divided the work. I did the lampstand. It was really small, I felt I got lucky. When we finish it, we discussed about the data, and defined how big we want, than we calculate the date because we had no enough time. We need to finish it before December. We were also need to be responsible to it. We were not work along, We were worked together. Every parts all very important, I hope we can do the perfect. and show it form all the TMP students and teachers.

Today in our ESL class, we discussed about TMP logo. It was really difficult to make it because we need to calculate the data. It gave us lots of problems. Our plan is use wood to make a TMP logo. The logo has six parts, we need put them together, and it should be three-dimensional. We had lots of ideas, but I just worried about us. We got a good plan, but how can we do that, it was so big, we never did it before, and the time was very short, however, we can not give up, but, we can finish it, I could not say it will be perfect. I believe we can do our best to make it.

We measured the small logo of TMP at the hallway. We decided to make 6 pieces of wood and combine all of it after we make it. After measure the TMP logo, we were thinking about how big the TMP logo should be that our class is making. If it is too big, it will be hard to take care of it. We kind of struggled a lot because of every time we face the new problems. However, we are doing well; we solve the problems together and explain to classmates who don’t understand. So I am excited for our big project. I hope it goes well. Also it is really good thing our classmates are trying to do the work.

GETTING START OUR PROGECT
SEONJIN NA (11.NOV.09)
We needed to measure the ‘TMP’ letter so we went to upstairs to measure it. We decided whose going to measure six different parts of letters by doing ROCK, PAPER AND SISSORS. I am not good at ROCK,PAPER AND SISSORS so i was fifth to choose the letter to measure. I measured letter ‘M’. It was not hard to measure but complicated because the middle of ‘M’ was bent. So I needed to measure the angle. After we finished to measure the letter, we calculated each length of letters to fit into 30cm. we are excited.

Measure the tmp logo
Today, we have to bring our ruler and we have to measure the all tmp letters. Everybody wants to measure easy one. So mr. Nakagawa ask us to "rock scissors paper." If we win we can go over so winner can chose what he want but looser have no choice or less choice to pick the letters. When we finish to doing "rock scissors paper," I was a winner. Actually, I pay scissors earlier than when he called shot so I embarrassed and I pay rock in confused moment and I got 1st place. It was lucky! So I choose letter "t" and other people choose their letters. Finally, we went to upstairs and start to measure own letters. I just have "inch" ruler so I measure with "inch". When I finish to measure everybody measure with "cm" so I have to measure again with "cm" When I finish to measure my arm was hurt. Because my letter is on the top and I have to measure twice. After that we came back to class and we have to draw exactly as same as we measure.

The Project
We discussed about what size of TMP sign should be. I think it depends on how big is the wall that we hang on to. Also I like 3 dimension ideas. It will look like it is alive. I think we should make 6 pieces of woods so we can stick each other. It will look like just letter T in the afternoon. However, if we spray paint each 6 pieces it won’t look like just a one giant letter T. So I think we should make 6 pieces and spray paint it. And each letters T, M and P we can put on different light color. Everybody thinks it will be hard but if we actually work together I t will work very well. Tomorrow we are measuring the TMP sign in the first floor hallway. I hope we work together get solve problem that we are facing right now and so on.

We told about how to make TMP logo, and Aaron showed his idea and project. I think that is good because he showed us how big we need to make, and that is 3D picture, so that is good start. We have to calculate the TMP logo how big we are going to make, and then we have to prepare every data. If we can make it in the future, I am worry about the bottom of “T” because on the top will be more heavy then the bottom, so I think the bottom will be a disaster when we finish the logo. In my opinion we will find the way to solve this problem because we always pass the difficulty and then enjoy the happy.

MAKING ‘TMP’ LETTERS
SEONJIN NA (10.NOV.09)
We are going to make big ‘TMP’ letter on the wall. Before we got started to make it, we needed to have the ideas about design, size, and ingredient of ‘TMP’ letter. I made a sample letter by using tissue and some people made it by using the paper clips. One of the impressive letter samples was Jacky’s letter. It was made of strings, clips, and thick papers. However, it was 2-dimention so we didn’t pick it up as our project. Also, Aran drew really nice picture of the ‘TMP’ letter and it was 3- dimension. So we are going to make ‘TMP’ letter by using Aran’s idea. We are going to make 6 pieces of letters and measure each letters. And then, we will go to HOME DEPOT to buy the ingredients that we need to make letter. I am so excited to make the big letter for school. I really want to start as soon as possible.

Making TMP logo
Today, we have to think about what kind of style we want and we have to think about how big it is. We have to measure all single part because we want a exactly same as tmp logo. Also we have to think about how we will going to attach all single part together and how we will going to overlap the letters. We have to cut letter "t" because we want a overlap the letters. If we just attach all together, the bottom letters will going to pop it out. So we will going to cut middle of "t"part and attach "m" part under the "t" and attach piece of "t" part and attach "p" part under the piece of "t" part. After then, we have to measure the each letters for exact letters. But we don't have much time to measure the letters so we plan to do tomorrow

To make lantern
I figure that if we want to make simple and cheap lantern, we just need a papers and candles. We have to have colored papers for the cool lantern. From the lantern we can decorate our dinner table cooler. With the colored paper, cut with what ever shape you want. And do not forget leave space for the candle to go in to the colored paper. It does not matter what color it is. You can add some branches to look cooler too. Since the winter is coming we can decorate winter theme. Like white colored lantern it will be really cool.

Soccer State
Yesterday, I feel a lot of sadness, happiness. It was our soccer team’s last game. We could win and go further but we lost. This season was a great season. We won more than a 10 games and we also won the Regional Championship. Last night after we lost the game, seniors cried out loud. It was great season and we improved but it was sad to end the season. For me, I have next year but for seniors it was short and quick season for them. I am so excited for next year. Next year we have chance to win the state championship. I hope next year for the seniors this year we have to win the state. And in TMP we do not have a lot of soccer players so I hope many other students will come out for soccer next year. And even we lost we had happy ending.

ADULT
09/11/01
Jacky
This Thursday and Friday we told about the adult. I think adult mean is what you been through and then you learn, and grow up. For example I have one friend he always fought and always took the money from his parent. If his parent doesn’t give money to him, he would fight them until he got the money. One day I hear he went to the jail because he killed two people. This summer I went back to Taiwan, and I went to his house for meet him. We ate dinner together and then he told me what he learns in the jail. He told me about what he was wrong in the past. He said” I have a job now because I have to take care my parent. I learn the fight is when you want to save something important in your life. Even though you have to kill who always give the problem for your family. However I killed them because I didn’t like him. I still very sorry for them because I was stupid bad person, but I have to accept what I did. After this thing, I wake up I talk myself I cannot do that because I already make a lot of hurt for my parent. So, I find the job and take care my family.” After I listened what he said, I think he grows up a lot because he know he was wrong in the past, but he didn’t escape what he did. However He fixes himself. In my opinion he really grow up a lot because he know what is right what is wrong. He knows the fight and kill cannot solve anything. He give me feel he is really change, so I think adult is you know what did you wrong and then you learn and fix yourself.

My experience from tie dye
Yesterday, we had an activity in ESL English class, which was totally cool. The activity called tie dye, and it was my first time I have ever done that. In fact, it was not difficult activity to do. You can do it by yourself at home, but you need to have materials. First of all, you may need some old cotton clothes and RIT. Also, you can choose the color you want from RIT such as pink, blue, yellow, or black. To change your shirt’s color, you need to follow the procedure exactly right. The procedure was easy, which is mix clothes, RIT, and hot water all together in the plastic bags. Waiting for about ten minutes, we open the plastic bags and drain water out. Although we have the clothes with new color on, we still have to let it dry for a few days and wash them it cold water. Then you will get the coolest clothes with your favorite color, which is made by yourself. In my conclusion, this activity is really fun and easy for me because this activity helped me relax. I enjoy this activity a lot after I have been in a tough week with homework.

I was already 18 years old. I think I was an adult person. For example, when I was in China, I can drink with my parents, and they were also think I was old enough. Sometimes, my father discussed with me about his ideas, and how to make his company better. He was also taught me about how to make my life better. He told me I was grow up, and I had my own idea. I remember, when I was a child, to me I feel my father was a stern person, but now, he changed a lot, when I did something wrong, he just instructed me. He felt he need to change a different way to teach me. So, I think I was not a child anymore, but I have to change a lot.

The Description of being an Adult
Have you ever think you are old enough to be an adult? If so, then I am the one who thinks that way, too. I am sixteen years old still, but I am kind of feel like I am an adult already. Sometimes, I could feel that way because I have to have responsibility, self-respect, and self-discipline. Also, I need to make a big decision about what is right, or what is wrong. For example, when I am surrounding with little kids, I need to be mature enough to take care of the kids. So, I need a commitment and responsibility to be led the kids in the right ways. Being an adult, you have to think a lot. Because some acting of yours could lead to the wrong way such as smoking, drinking, and fighting, that is why you have to think carefully over again and again. In my opinion, it is not that easy to be an adult at all. To become an adult, you have to have self-confident, also. Then you would do what is right against the people who think it is wrong.

THE DEFINITION OF BEING AN ADULT
SEONJIN NA (01.NOV. 09)
My English class talked about being an adult. Usually, we define being adult as being over 18 years old. I think adults should be responsible with their jobs, obligations, and relationships. Also, adults should be able to live by themselves. However, some adults are out of control and irresponsible. How can we define them as adults? I think the actual definition of adults is how adults think deeply. Although people are above 18 years old, if they are not thoughtful about everything that affect their life, they can’t be defined as adults. For example, people who sell illegal drugs to teenager are not adult. They are not thinking about how it will affect in life of teenager. It can ruin young people’s life. We can’t call them as adult and follow them because they are older than us. Another example, people are thoughtful will care about their future and plan their life. However, some people are not so they don’t know what are going on their life. I think people are thoughtful about everything that can affect to their life can be defined as adults.

What is an ADULT?
I thought a lot of definition for the word adult. I think an adult is who knows that if it is right or wrong. They know what they should do or they should not do. For example, some immature kids think it is so cool to smoke and drink. Is that a true adults do? It does not mean drinking and smoking is not the adults do. It means you have to think that what your decision is. If your kids it is not right to smoke or drink. People who makes right decision, like they do not drink or smoke if their illegal to do those stuffs. Also another definition that I think for the word an adult is who have a positive mind. Age does tells that person is adult or not but what he or she have in their head decides to being an adult. So I think those two definitions which are an adults knows right or wrong, and an adults is who have positive mind.
