I'm getting better

Well...After everything happened to me through 2 weeks, there were a lot problems changed my thoughts, my mood and my studying grade. I dropped many classes and missed three or four tests. Oh my God, Hope everything will be OK finally.
The newest in-class writing got 90%. It's not the highest score, anyway it's still the first highest score that I feel satisfied with it. Because I spent a lot of time and attempted to do that topic "TO OVERCOME THE FEAR OF LONELINESS". It proved that how much I try is how much I get. I thought maybe Rachael doesn't like me, cause I often asked some stupid questions and didn't follow her guide. I guess she must have think this student is kind of ridiculous. Whereas, she tried to help my weakness in writing eagerly. And finally, I found I improved it.
After 2 months, I had not much friends ( Also I don't expect to), but I had some fun with them like : Ami, Hao Shuay, Akina, Ally, Minami. They are so lovely and kind to me though sometimes it's hard for us to understand each other.
During this weekends, I was so happy that I didn't go out for the trip or activiy trip. I was at home all day...But I was so happy. I chatted with my friends in my country. Someone broke my heart; but now, it released. Someone lifted me up and took me to the seventh heaven. I just hope everyday in here, I can have days like that.

Teen gets life in prison for gruesome killing

http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/05/12/burned.torso.ap/index.html

Ohhhh....It's so horrible crime.
Orlewicz 18-years-old, of Canton, Michigan, took the stand and admitted that he killed Sorenson 26 years old,
he grabbed a knife from a tool bench and stabbed him from behind, after Sorenson died, he used a hacksaw to decapitate him. Orlewicz said he threw Sorenson's torso into a field and set it on fire. He admitted stabbing Sorenson 13 times after an extortion plan went awry and Sorenson threatened his life.
That guy must love horror movie so much. I think the type of his punishment is suitable to him. He deserves that : A teenager convicted of killing a man, then beheading him and setting fire to his body in what prosecutors called a thrill killing was sentenced Monday to life in prison without parole.
I learnt
decapitate : cut the head of
torso: the body excluding the head and neck and limbs
extortion: unjust exaction (as by the misuse of authority)
awry: away from the correct or expected course

SEATTLE

Seattle is the peaceful place that I think I've ever seen before. There are many impolite people in Seattle. In my country, people like to show off, some are impolite, another are show off and rare ones are polite and literature. The worst problem in Vietnam is traffic. They drive bike as Honda or Yamaha so fast and carelessly. There are so many accident, for instance more than a half of death is caused by traffic accident. Often, the rich people use money to cash under the table with police. Who knows the truth behind the criminal punishment in Vietnam. All stuffs are firstly solved with money. I think the most effective punishment is life imprisonment, and the least is detainment.
I like to live in Seattle.

Advertising POSTER

http://dimbulb.typepad.com/my_weblog/images/2007/10/15/dietcokemorning_1.jpg

I love Coca Cola. It's classic and simple, but really creative and clever !! This poster is fantastic with the black background, it brings audience more attention to the product, and it's so creative to combine the cover for coffee around the product. Everyday, American and even in my country - Viet Nam, We love to have coffee ,so they make Diet Coke product become necessary as coffee. Wonderful creative combination!!! Coca Cola is popular and on top of Coke, so audience must be everyone.
instead of saying good morning, we can say Have a nice morning.

Slogan: make the cooking a joyful experience

AD for "Pedrini" Italian Household brand

It's kind of advertising poster. Its goal is to make the time of the cooking is to remmber with outstanding Elements and funny subjects .
so the audience must be a house wife or who cares about cooking.
Good color, but not really well advertising. and not really good image.
It doesn't sense to me much, because it doesn't set the goal and the product off
