Journey in Chattanooga

The field trip to Chattanooga was such a big success. l learned the history of Chattanooga while I was having fun and enjoying my field trip with my friends. On Friday morning, I woke up really early in order to prepare for the field trip. All of us were extremely excited about it. After the brunch, we were good to go. Our first stop was the Tennessee Aquarium. The Tennessee Aquarium is a public aquarium that is located in Chattanooga, and it was actually the largest fresh-water aquarium when it opened in 1992. The Chattanooga River is behind the aquarium, so I could clearly see the river. There is a large variety of marine animals in the Aquarium. I walked slowly through the first exhibition which was the Appalachian Cove Forest. It created a realistic atmosphere for tourists. When I walked in, I felt that I was in a real jungle with different animals all over me. The trees were filled with birds and reptiles laid on the beach. It was such a beautiful view. After that, we entered the second exhibition which was the Discovery Hall. There,we could explore an underwater world where lots of underwater species were exhibited. I saw jellyfish, sharks, and salamanders. In addition to these two exhibits, we also went to the Mississippi Delta, River Giants, Rivers of the World, and The Tennessee River Gallery. The Journey at the aquarium was an amazing experience that helped me learn a lot of information about marine species. After the aquarium, we went to take the duck boat on the Chattanooga River. The word "Chattanooga" derives from the Muskogean word which means "Rock". During the American Civil War, Chattanooga was a center of the battle. After the war ended, the city became a major manufacturing center. The history of the Chattanooga River was really appealing. The driver of the boat told us some history about the river and the city. We went to eat ice-cream before we went back. This was a meaningful field trip in which I learned the history of Chattanooga, and I also had a lot of fun.

My Best Weekend

How to spend our weekends? It is a simple question, but sometimes it can be really confusing when we have nothing to do during weekends. I certainly had a same problem before. Nevertheless, my weekend was well spent this time because I got to see my parents this weekend.

            During spring break, I met my parents in L.A., and we stayed there for three days. After that, we went to Vegas and Salt Lake City, and all the way through Denver. As many of you know, I love travelling and taking road trips. Time always passes fast. Nine days of spring break passed by so quickly. It was sad when I realized it was time to say goodbye. Surprisingly, my parents told me they were going to stay with me for one more weekend in Tennessee. I was so cheerful when I heard what they had said. I met them again the following weekend which was fantastic. On Friday, we went out to have dinner at Fulin. The food there was delicious, and my parents really liked it. After dinner, I went back to the hotel where my parents were staying. I was going to spend two more nights with them. On Saturday, we went to Walmart and had Korean food at Seoul Garden. We picked Corrina up from school to have lunch with us. Corrina had mentioned that she wanted to go out with us, so I thought it would be nice to invite her to have lunch. We got back to the hotel at 8 p.m. My father suggested that we should have a family talk. My topic was about how school was going on. My parents also gave me some of advice about my performance in school. Overall, I could see they were satisfied and happy with me.
              I was really glad to see my parents again at school, and, of course, I had a wonderful weekend. I am sure I will miss them a lot.

Bunny Judy

I can't believe that I just met the Easter Bunny a couple of days ago. Soon, I am amazed by how special she was.

She told me her name was Judy, so I started calling her Judy. To me, she didn’t seem like a baby bunny because she was so smart. She was good at hacking computers. She was definitely a master of technology. However, I found out that she has more magical abilities than I thought. She carried a mini spacecraft and rocket at all times so she could travel whenever she wanted. I asked Judy why she had such a incredible powers, and she told me she had come from another world outside of the earth. The reason she came here was that she had a fight with her mother. She told me that she wanted to be independent, so this was why she came to earth. As soon as I knew the reason, I told her that she should go back even though I didn’t really want her to leave me. Judy certainly knew that leaving her mother alone at home was not a right thing. Thus, she decided to go home as soon as possible. I remembered that I was extremely upset about Judy’s leaving. I felt I was going to loose one of my most special friends. Judy was no longer just a friend to me, she was more like a member of my family who always took care of me. Although I considered Judy a baby, she was not treated as a baby bunny at all when she was at home. On her planet, Judy was already 12 years old. I guessed that was the reason why Judy was so intelligent and even smarter than humans. Since Judy was going to leave soon, she invited me to have a ride with her by using her magical abilities. We took a ride to another city where we had an unforgettable experience that both of us would never forget.

I gave Judy a warm hug and a sweet kiss at the day Judy left. She gave me a magical wand as a gift. Perhaps, we will meet each other someday. I am looking forward to it!
