A Week in the GLPS Camp

   People wonder what the students of GLPS Camp do. I would like to post pictures and write essays about it for a week. The reason is that I can forget about the things that happened in the GLPS Camp. Even if you write things in your diary, you can forget how it looked, so I am now trying to do a photo essay. The pictures are going to be related to the things that happen GLPS Camp and Korean Minjok Leadership Academy. I will now post the picture from Tuesday and write a little bit about it. I hope that after, you can also make a photo essay. It is a good way to remember what happened everyday.

Today is Tuesday, the first day I took a picture for the photo essay. Look at the boys. What are they seeing?   I just want to go inside the picture and see what it is. Are they taking a picture like me? They make me curious. Maybe it is a shining coin! But maybe not... My opinion is that since the weather isn't that good and cloudy, maybe the thing that they are looking at is something that I don't like too much. That reason makes me think that the thing is a squirming disgusting bug (maybe). I hope that it is a coin that is worth 500 won instead so that I can buy a drink from the vending machine.

Today is the second day for me to write a photo essay. While I am passing the Chung-Mu Building to go to the Dasan Building for a writing lesson, I see students taking a lesson outside with a teacher. I think that they are the students that came for the Science Camp. I wish I can take a lesson outside also... Sometimes I fall asleep since it is so boring and quiet, but having a lesson outside makes me better. Listening to the sounds of the nature.... That is way more awesome...

    Today was Thursday, the day when we present our history presentations. Giving presentations... It makes me nervous. I am also the contestant of the presentation contest, so I need to prepare more than the others. It is hard.. I always need to use the second self-study time while my friends are sleeping. I hate to study until twelve o'clock. It makes me sleepy during lessons the next day. I don't want to doze every time in classes especially math time. Anyways, I was the first of fifteen people to present! I was so angry at Jerry, my history teacher because he chose me to do the presentation first. The presentation needed more preparation as I listened to my history teacher. I hope that I can do a good job in the presentation contest!

  We, the GLPS Camp students are going to our adviser's class right now. It is morning right now. As you can see, I am going near the Chung-mu and the Dasan Building. My legs are sore... It takes time to go to my Adviser's class and my backpack is so heavy. The class is so far from the dormitory.. I wish that my Adviser's class was at the English Building, which is right next to the dormitory. I don't want to think about going up to the dormitory after the 4th period, to get our lunch. It's like this really horrible nightmare that I don't want it to happen. I wouldn't complain if there is a car or other things that can carry me to my class or the dormitory. Somebody, please send me a car or carry me!!

  

Today was the presentation contest! I was so nervous because I was the second student to give a presentation! The picture on the left is me, giving out handouts to the judges. The reaction was not that bad than I thought. I think that I fought with my nerves and thought that I will not die even if I make a mistake.. That made me more courageous to give a presentation better. The result will be out on next week Friday night. I am not expecting to win a prize since there were many more students who were better than me at giving presentations. I am just proud of myself to be chosen by the teacher and be a participant in the GLPS Presentation Contest. I am also happy to give information and my opinion to others. I wish that I could come to the GLPS Camp next time and participate in the Presentation Contest again to see how much I have improved since the last time. 

 Finally it is Sunday!! Sunday is the only time that I can have the fun. When I got my phone, I started to do Kakao Talk with my friend, Michelle. We are keep messaging each other. This is the thing that I do when I have a free time. I sometimes text with my mom. I have so much time left until the CA (Club Activity). I am going to eat (cookies) and play with my phone. When I am in the Dasan Auditorium for the CA, I watched a movie called "Happy Feet". It is about a penguin that taps his feet to the rhythm and going on an adventure. I actually didn't watch the movie because I watched it before and I knew that it was boring to me. Instead, I did Kakao Talk with my friend and my mom.  I am happy to play all day except for doing public services in the morning. I even don't need to write movie reviews.

   Our class is having a debate with Class 6 tomorrow! >_<The proposition is, "Pororo is better than Pikachu" and our class's team is on the Government side of this debate, so our team believes that Pororo is better. I wonder what would happen tomorrow. I hope that our team wins, but I won't choose my class's team because it is our class, I will choose by how much both teams are good at presenting arguments, rebutting, and doing POI (asking questions in the middle of a debate). I am having big expectations for our class tomorrow. Everybody FIGHTING!!

   It was challenging while I was doing my photo essays. It takes a lot of responsibility to take a picture everyday. Reader, you could also try this. It is very fun and exciting. It is a good thing to do if you want to remember things that happened in the past. Be sure to have a big responsibility. It is easy to forget taking pictures. I hope that after you have also tried doing photo essays, try telling other people. Make sure you have a camera and a computer with you or a diary. Good luck!
