My New Year's resolution

Planning New Year's resolutions is a common thing Americans usually do at the beginning of the year. As for me, this is the 1st time I've heard of this term. After knowing the topic of the 2nd journal, I paid attention to a couples of advertisements and brochures and they all mentioned "New Year's resolution". In my opinion, it's good if we can list out things that we want to achieve within this year so that we can have a determination to make them work out. So here are my New Year's resolutions:

- First of all, what I need do as soon as possible is to get a driver's license. Although I don't have a car now but here in America, driver's license is as important as Social Security Number. Having a driver's license will assist me a lot for my life in America.

- Secondly, I'll be very glad if I can speak English fluently. Since I'm living near Little Saigon, it's pretty hard to practice English. The advantage is that I don't feel very homesick when I live here; however, it also lessens my chance of speaking English. My goal is practicing as much as possible, anywhere, anytime.

- Finally and hopefully, I'll be able to move out in the middle of March. I know it would be a challenge for me but this is my opportunity to have my own life, without any restrictions.

These are three things I need to achieve within this year. To make them come true means I have to face many problems but I'll try my best so that at the end of 2010, I can mark a tick at each of my new year's resolutions.

My very first introduction for my very first English weblog

Hi guys. This is QuynnnH (crazy name, I guess). First of all, I would like to warn you that you are reading one of the most boring biographies in the weblog world. Please be patient, I'll try to keep it as brief as possible. :P

Like the traditional way people have used many many many centuries ago (maybe since the prehistoric time) when introducing themselves to the public, I will begin this introduction with my name. The name is Quynh (please don't complain if it's hard to pronounce my name :P ). Quynh is not a very popular name in Vietnam , where I come from. My mother named me after her favorite flower which blooms only at midnight. To be honest, I haven't seen this flower before (or I'm not patient enough to stay up until midnight just to see the flower blooming). My hometown is Ho Chi Minh City, where we only have two seasons a year: dry and rainy seasons. When writing this post, it's raining outside. It reminds me of the rain in my hometown, which I love a lot. Although the sky has the same dull look like it does here, I didn't feel moody or depressed everytime I looked at it, and I enjoyed lying on bed reading comic books when it was raining outside. Looks like I'm starting being out of line.

Back to the topic, my major was Hospitality management. My first plan was to get an MBA here. However, due to some constraints, I changed to my backup plan, which is about getting a bachelor degree in nursing. Hopefully, this can work out, as I'm trying my best to overcome the entrance test (to be honest, I'm never good at math, biology and chemistry).
When I had free time, I loved reading Japanese comic books such as One Piece, Doraemon, and Fairy Tail; hanging out with my friends at bubble tea stores; playing games; and enjoying my mother's cooking. My lifestyle has changed a lot in order to adapt to the busy American life, as in terms of leisure time.
So it is the end of this boring biography. Next, I would like to tell you something about my trustable classmate who always gives me good advice. Introducing Candy. Back in China, she was an English teacher. That explains why she's very matured. She's also very friendly, outgoing and has good sense of humor. She just fulfilled the TESOL requirements and plans to get a master degree in education at CSUF.
I guess it is time to end this post. In conclusion, I'm very glad that I have a chance to study with you guys - my awesome classmates. I never thought that I would have such great experience in America.
