meet new people




She is a hairdesigner. As her job, she has quite impressive hair style. Actually, she is from korean so we had manythings say to each other. She said that she has lived new York about 5years. I've stayed new york shorter than her, so I asked many thing about New York, for example "Where is the good place to go?" However, I said that she don't know well, because she was busy in work. She said that she lived in Queen, so she's staying home except when she work, but she tried to give a many information about NY.
Through, I met new people several weeks, I relized that people who deal with customer has more kind attitute than people who works as alone. I think that it's kind of working habit.

[NYT] Online Schooling Grows, Setting Off a Debate

THE NEW YORK TIMES NATIONAL FRIDAY,FEBRUARY 1, 2008

In the article relate that half a million American children take classes online and the taking number of online school repid have been grown. It said that at the Florida Virtual School, the largest Internet public school in the country, more than 50,000 students are taking courses this years. I was quite shock after reading this article. Actually, I am one of person who against the online school, becase of losing corporation. I don't think school is a place to lear knowledge but also the realtionship between friends. When you go to the society, the relationships between person is become a hige issue even though somebody has really good skill. Therefore, I was quite shock and worry about huge number of students who take their classes in their home. It might be lose huge opportunity to learn about people relationship.

[meet new people]



when I joined the membership of crunch with younkyoung, I met chis who is a manager. He is middle age white guy and he was quit friendly to us. I don't know because it was his job or real personality. Anyway he was quite talkaive, asked me lots of things which like "where r u from?" "is Korean nice place to live?" He looks nice. However, he force me to take a trainer today, even thoough I didn't want to much. Except that he was quite fine.
