Way to keep getting up early

Today, I researched how to keep getting up early in morning. I think I am very weak in it.
Most of researcher says "It take one or two weeks to become used to getting up at the same time every day. "
They also says "We can`t change our riythm of sleeping rapidly. "

First: Make sure what time you can wake up perfectly. After that, decide when you sleep. (five-seven hour sleep is good for health.)
Secind: Keep waking up at the same time (at least one week.)
Third: When you get used to doing it, change the time to wake up thirty minutes earlier.
Fourth: Repeat "First"-"Third"

I also found a lot of ideas to make it easyer.
・When you wake up, drink a cup of water and bask in the sun about twenty minutes.
・If you feel very sleepy, take a nap fifteen-twenty minutes (before 3:00 p.m.)
・Do your job and homework in morning.
・Thirty minutes before you go to bet, get the lights weaker.
There is many more ideas. If you want, you should research and try it.
 And we can come up with some new way !!

Facebook

Facebook is something that no one can live without it these days.All ages of people use facebook for many reasons such as,to communicate with friends,to make busniss on it and many other reasons.I think that more than 90% of people that live on earth can't let their day finish without open their facebook account at minimum 10 times.Many companies can't be a successful company if it doesn't have a page on facebook,that let the people know what this company allows for their customrs.So I think that we live know in a big facebook phenomenon and we have to stop this facebook addiction as soon as possible.

The Walking Dead

Recently, I started watching the drama whose name is The walking dead. Its really a good drama. But I think American dramas tend to become boring after season1. As examples there are Prison Break and Heroes. Those two dramas were fun at the beginning. But after season1 they became kind of farces. So I hope that the walking dead will be fun even after season1.


Motocross

I was in my country I used to motocross . It was interesting . My father taught me how I can drive it when I was young . He told me the the most important things do not be afraid and hold it firmly.
The diffident Between motocross and motorcycle is motocross has four wheels . Also it is easier.
I like it because it is fun. I will show you a video for the motocross and I hope you enjoy it. 

Good feeling;)

First, I went to the IEI office and there, they told me where where I needed to go for my test; back in IEI office I saw a lot of people form different countries.

I was waiting in my classroom for the test and finally the teacher gave me  the test, I saw it and I said, "I can do this". When I finished the test. I didn't feel really good about it, because I thought I could do better. The result was to be in Level 3 that was fine for me.

After the test, I and all the students went to another classroom and there  we ate and talked, I could meet another students for the program, that was really fun, I met a lot of Japanese people

Let´s tell some jokes

I had nothing in mind to write my blog, so my nephew  told me a joke, I thought it was a good idea to write some funny and stupid jokes, here I go:

– No, Why?
– Because you have everything I was looking.
 – Not funny,  Is your name Yahoo Answers?

– Because you ask stupid questions… : °

2.- Ryotaro was working, when suddenly his boss ask him;
– Hey Sergio are not you going to go to your Mother in law’s funeral?  And then Sergio answered; – No, boss first the work, then the pleasure.  : |

3.- Dad, why the name of my sister is Rose?  
– Because your Mom and I made her in a garden. 
– Wooow so romantic.
 – I know Chevrolet, I know…  : |

4.- Sergio during an interview job;
– Do you speak English?
 – Yes 
– What’s your name?
- Yes ; )

5.- Police: Knock Knock
Tomoya: Who is it?
Police: It’s the police
Tomoya: What do you want?
Police: We just wanna talk
Tomoya: How many of you are there?

Ok, ok, these were not so funny but the most important thing here, I have done my homework lol.

Chinese

 Yesterday I went to chinese culture festival with my friends. It was held at university. Actually, I was not interested in it,  but there was enough time, so I went to see. At first, there was no thing to do. However, there was a performance. It looked boring. Besides, I could not understand what they were doing, then I thought whether go home. Next performance was really more awesome than I expected and first performance. When the performance was over, I thought it is ok to pay money because it was free and I was very satisfied. If there is another it again. I will definitely go to watch it. I had a great time.

Football night

 Last weekend, I went to watch foot boll game. There were a lot of people who are like excited. It was first time for me, therefore I was looking forward to it. Memphis played a mach against Middle tennessee. My feeling was so high. When I was watching it, I could not go to restroom. As a result, Memphis won with a huge margin, then I thought Memphis was so strong. The game was fun, but I did not know the rule, so I could not enjoy perfectly. If i knew the rule, I could enjoy more and more. Next time, before I watch another game, I think I should learn rule about foot ball. If someone who are IEI students did not go to watch the foot ball game, I really thought I want you to watch other games, because it will make you fun and excited.

Money isn't Everything

Many people in this world think if you have much money, you will be the most happier person in the world. Some people agree, and some people disagree. I am a person believe money is not everything. I think money is necessary for me but not all of my purpose in my live. For example, You can buy a bed, but you cannot buy sleep. You can buy sex, but you cannot buy love. You can buy a doctor, but you cannot buy life. Last week I found out Christianity is so big in Africa. In fact, all over the world most people believe in Christianity are from Africa. Even if they do not have food, money, simple live like everyone. They worship God, and they do not care about money and other things. My idea is wherever you believe, you need to thank God for everything has given to you. Family, healthy body, friends and other things. 

Water

 Water is a very important thing in our life.So without water nobody can still alive and grow in a perfect way.Most of the earth area include water.There are many seas,rivers and oceans that we can get the water from them.In addition,water is liquid thing that have no colour .There ara many uses to water such as,human uses,chemical uses,food uses,and most of the things in our life can't be without this water.Nowadays,many people start to work in water purification.in order to get money.Water purification is very tricky and hard because 50% and more of human body is water,So when we want to work in water purification we have to be careful and wise.Hope that everyone try to drink water because water is really delicious to try.

I liked campus of U of M a lot, I could not wait to start classes.

Dragon Quest Ⅴ

I would like to talk about my favorite game. This is Dragon QuestⅤ. Do you guys know that?? This series is one of famous game in Japan. The story of this game is across 3 generation. You will start a main character who is a kid with his father. His father always help you (a kid).  But his father are killed by a monster.....Then you will have much hard time like to be a slave, stone, to lose your wife.
So you find your kid is a hero.After you kill the boss monster, the ending will come. I like the ending because there are all character with dancing!! It will move your emotion. I think this game has the most beautiful story enough to let you cry. I recommend you guys play this!!

The Father

     The father is the best man in the world. I am not just talking about
my father , I am talking about every fathers. The father is the love
of his daughter and the friend of his son. We always thought our 
father can not keep up with modern time. Also some people are 
very difficult to be in agreement with them father. But we 
wrong because ask your self how much our father suffer for
the sake of up bringing and protecting us. let is be good with them.
I love my father because he gave to me every things. 
And I hope to be a good son for him.

Why I do not like the American Football

Like everyone knows the last Saturday we went to the football game, Memphis Tigers Vs MT I really do not know what was the other team´s name, maybe “Memphis Tigers II” or “Mystery Team”.  Whatever it was not my first Football game, when I was in the University in Mexico, every game when our team played some friends invited me. I think, I went to a 3 games and every single game asked to my friend the rules of the game, I gave up about that, I never understood them.
This game is very popular in Monterrey City and all the universities close to the north of Mexico. I studied in the Tecnologico de Monterrey and the team; every year is the champion of the league. I think I was the only one who does not like the game in the whole university.
The reasons why I do not like the game are:
1.- Because, watch too many men running in leggings is like a little gay.
2.- Because, there are too many players in the field and on teams, and it is confusing to know who is every player.
3.- Because, it is so slow. Nobody moves, I know the quoted speech about football being a game of inches, but, why would they make the field so big then?
4.- Because, it is too popular.  It’s basically a religion.
5.- Because, a player’s role is too specialized.  No wonder there are too many people, there are so many different positions, and the kicker barely does anything.
6.- Because, there is wasted real time.  Change your lines.  Get set up.  Measure the ball distance.  Everyone get in a big pile.  Now everyone get up.  All that time adds up to really long boring games.
7.- Because, It is boring.  There’s never an intense break away or way to turn everything around, or if there is, it’s short lived. The defense is always on the defense and they have to stay behind the line until someone says go, then maybe they’ll get touch the ball.  Think about it, the object of the defense is to stop the game. BORING.
However I do not understand the rules of this game and every kind of sports, I do not like watch sports, I like playing them, but it is very boring take a sit and wait until the end of the game, doing nothing.

Ok those are my reasons, I hope nobody calls “the migra”.

Using English for ONLY 30%

Do you know how much languages work in communication ? Surprisingly, it`s only thirty percent !! Other seventy percent of communication medium is "Non-Language". So we use body language, eye catching, and expression in the seventy percent of talking.

Do you think language is not much working ? Or do you think we can make communicationwith "Non-Language" ?
I don`t think so. Because everyone feel very confusing when we communicate with a person who speaks other language. And some body languages make other meaning in each country. Every IEI student must be has been confusing when we first spoke in English.
 So we need to talk in same language.

I want to say thirty percent of communication has so much big working.
Now, we are learning thirty percent of communication, I`m sure it`ll make a great influence.

The Japanese Song

Fukuwarai 
 
Takahashi Yu
 
The lyrics say like this....
 
Every time I see your sweet smile face  It lets me want to be smile as well
Every time I see you are sadly crying   It makes me want to cry as well.
 
Lets leave your sad face and a complicate face behind then 
Why dont we all start lough and become happy each other
 
Im sure that the shared language all around the world is
not well known English but our shiny smile makes ourselves happy
 
It doesnt  matter whether you are an adult or a child
It doesnt  matter whether you are a man or woman as well
 
This is the song of Takahashi Yu 
 
Please try it.

Life in OHIO

Three years ago, when I was fifteen, I got the greatest experience in my life.
During my summer vacation, I visited an American family and lived there for one month. we call it "Home stay" The family`s name is Wisler. There were mother, father, and two boys. Elder brother`s name is Ethan, and younger brother`s name is Alex.
Wisler family is so characterized. For instance, they are vegetarian. In that summer, I didn`t eat meat. Every lnch box contained vagetables or sandwiches. That was little hard for me.
And they living with a natural state. The back side of their house was golf cause, so many animals like rabbits and birds etc comes. They also has many pets, four cats and one dog and snake ! And sometime, they go out without shoes. I have never seen such a wild life.
Living with other language and culture showed me so many things. And there was no Japanese, so I couldn`t depend any thing. If I get some problem, I had to slove it with thinking and doing myself. It was not easy, but it was so fun and excited ! It was only one month, but I got many experiences and knowledge. And it change my personality.
Thinking and doing myselg has a big meaning. If you depend everything on otherone, You might not get anything.

Writing about writing a blog

Like most of all people, and I said the majority that I know, they don’t know what to write when they have to. Even the greatest writer has the same problem, so don’t feel bad.  They are blocked, but suddenly appear the great idea, and write a whole book.  Like them I don’t know what to write therefore, I’ll suggest some ideas to write about, so I’ll kill two birds with one stone. (By the way, literally, the key for kill two birds with one stone is a big stone and two little inoffensive birds ;))

5 Great ideas to write a blog:

1.       Write about the food.- There is always interesting read about the food that you like, better if it is from your country, for example if you are from Japan, you can write about the sushi and say something funny like “ I want to marry him” or compare it vs tacos o something like that.

2.       Write about your country. -  It is a topic very important and easy to write, because you know the culture from your country, and everything that you write, even if you made it up, we are going to believe it, no reason to doubt.

3.       Write about why and how you are here.- Some of us are very interested about what did you feel and did to get here, what difficulties you had, if you left some friends in your country, and how do you feel now. You can put in your title some words in your language to make emphasis.

4.       Write about the reason why you are studying English.- It is very important, everybody wants to know why do you want to learn English, put some examples or sentences explaining why is interesting learn English, if you can, try to attract the readers by inviting them to comment, for last you can index a picture.

5.       Write about something that you think is funny. - Everybody loves read something funny, you can write something that you think is hilarious, even if it is not, for example, you could write about what you know or think about different cultures, and write down the stereotypes about them, make a list with the principal characteristics of those countries and make emphasis in the obvious. Personally I don’t think it is funny but you can try to make it.

I hope these ideas can help you to write a blog, if you have written already something similar, it is just a coincidence.

Well, on a closer look, writing a blog is not so hard, you can write about whatever you want, however no more than three people are going to read it.

Thanks for read. (3 people)

Un yuca in Memphis. The trip

August 20, 2014, was a long day for me and my dad. Finally my dad went with me but only three weeks and  he needed come back to Merida.

I woke up very early that day, because we needed to go to cancun, to eatch plane that came out there. It was hard to say good bye to my mom, my brother and my dog; I cried a lot.

The last day in Merida was amazing because I went to one of my favorite places in Merida, the soccer stadium Carlos Ituralde with my causins and my brother. We watched a good game Pumas vs Merida.

When we arrived in Cancun, we went to the plane and we went first to Miami because it was the scale of Memphis. But the plane took of at 4 o'clock and we waited a lot in the airport, but finally we could go.

We arrived to Miami at 6 o'clock and the next flight was for Memphis at 9 o'clock. I felt scared and nervous for the big change in my life.

Finally, we arrived to Memphis much later but it was good.

Felling in Love with Football.

When i was child, i always played soccer with my friends. Soccer was like a life for me. In all my life i couldn't stop playing this sport. After high school i stopped play soccer without any reason. My brother told me most American they don't play soccer, and many of them they don't know at least 2 of most famous player in the world. I was in shocked. I figured out most American like basketball and football more then soccer. I love basketball before i came to Memphis, but football Wasn't in my mind. Last weekend, i go to my friend house Cory. I watch a football game for the first time in my life. In the beginning i didn't understand the rules of the game. Then, one of my friend explain to me the rules of the game. After he explained, i felt in love with football college. Now i cant wait for the next game for tiger. GO TIGER !!

That`s Why I am Here !!

I came The University of Memphis not only for studying English, but also learning many more things.
Before I decide to come here, I researched so many American University`s` information. And I thought
what I can improve in each place. Of course, the main purpose is studying English, but I think going abroad
gives me so many experiences. For example, the countly`s culture. With living abroad, we can see culture
of food, clothes, religion, and building. We can also know how geography and climate are different from
our own countly`s

I thought going The University of Memohis has the most thing what I want to improve.
In Carpenter, the place where I live, I have to do every thing myself. cooking food, doing lundry, buying
things what I need etc. So I will be on my own. It means I can get some abilities to live alone.
I can also learn about music. Memphis is the birthplace of Blues-Music. Many artists from Memphis has
been popular.

I`m sure I can find more thing I can learn here. The most important thing is "to try".
Every experience make me grown.

Festival

 On September 13, I went to Japanese festival and younger festival. It was so fun. It's been a long time since I saw some Japanese foods, game and performance. There were lots of people who is interested in Japan. Moreover, there were some Japanese. When I met them and talked, I thought there is no one who is bad character.
 Secondly, I went to younger festival after Japanese festival. There were a lot of people more than Japanese festival. I was surprised about many people. I saw a lot of things. For example, many stores like used, food stores, performance and red bull girls.  Especially, I liked red bull girls because they gave us red bull for free. In short, they were very cute. I really miss them.
 Overall, I had great time on the day. If it is possible, I would love to go again and again, then I would find red bull girls. I hope  want to back yesterday...

Smell

 I guess that some of the men suffer from their smell of foots. And we must care about it. As a matter of fact, I am the one of them. My foot goes off extremely harsh smell. Especially, it becomes smeller in summer. I have the episode that I cannot forget.

 When I was in high school, I belonged to a baseball team. And actually I had to take part in the morning training which was held from 7am, to 8am. One day I forgot to wear sox and took part in the training. After that I went to my classroom. Then the woman who was sitting in front of me said “What the hell is this smell!!!” I was frozen by her voice. Well…. Please don’t let me talk anymore. It’s almost a trauma.

 Anyway if you don’t care about your smell, you will be regarded as pollution.

That’s why BE CAREFULL . All of men.

Study Abroad

Today, I'm in Memphis.
 2 years ago, when I was freshmen, I went to study abroad in Arkansas for 3 months, then I always hung out therefor I didn't study English at all. The days were awesome. When I came back to Japan, I took a English test, but the test was so bad. Then, I realized that the study abroad was waste. It was good opportunity like a chance of a lifetime.
 After 1 years, I found out that there is a program to study abroad for 9 months. Then, I thought I want to go to study abroad again because actually, I regretted the last study abroad.
 However, if I wanted to go, I needed to take a test like IELTS or TOEFL and I needed to get a high score. So if I couldn't get a good score, it was impossible to come to study abroad.
 Overall, I studied English so hard for the test and I could get a good score, so I could come to Memphis. 

Memphis Changed my Heart

I have been here in Memphis almost for 8 months. There is many things in my life has been changed and i did it in Memphis. one of the things is learning how to respect people and how to be polite with people. how to be kind with people. Learning basketball and football is totally amazing. I always say soccer is my favorite sport. But if you asked me now, i will say basketball than football than soccer. Last thing how Memphis make feel in love. I don't mean feel in love with a girl. I mean feel in love with God. Is so awesome when you feel that God is your friend. I'm not religious guy. I'm just a guy who feel in love with his Lord. And he wants to share the word of god with people. I'm so thankful for Memphis, because from Memphis a lot of things has been changed. I can't imagine the different when i was in Saudi Arabia and right now.
 Thank you Lord, Thank you Memphis

IEI 

Un Yuca in Memphis. Why I'm here?

I am Sergio Adán Glory Canto, I have 19 years old and I from Yucatan, Mexico. I have 5 people in my family, my dad his name is Manuel Jesus Glory Canto, my mom Patricia Canto  Torres, my brother Carlos Adrian Glory Canto and my litter sister Eva Patricia Glory Canto.

My dad is pastor of Shalom Presbyterian Church from Merida, Yucatan, he works there. Shalom is one of the big  Presbyterian church's in Merida. Thanks to him I'm here.

My dad have two greats friends, the family Kings Bryce King and Noreen King and they works in other church is a Latin church the name is Esperanza Presbyterian Church in Memphis and they need a new pastor, so they spoke to my dad, that call changed my life.

After he spoke with us and he told us everything, when I heard the news, I felt very angry with my dad because I felt very comfortable in Merida, I had started law school I was excited. When the days passed I was liked the idea of going to Memphis.

My freshman yearn in law school finished and next prepare for move to Memphis. It was a difficult summer because it was my last summer in Merida for long time and more difficult when I knew my dad and my mom they can't go with paty and me because my dad need a special visa for work in Memphis and the visa need long time.

It was hard say goodbye my family and friends really hard but is new adventure for me.

The day arrived, august 20 the 2014 never forget this day.

My First Culture Shock

  I have already felt the culture shock .
  Taking the class in Japan, almost student don`t be allowed speaking. Only the way to speak is lifting own hand. After the teacher call on the name of student, that one can show own thought. I think that way is very good because it is bad for someone thinking if all student speak thought.
  In the meantime, taking the class in U.S.A, all student can speak whenever we get a question without allowing. I think it is good too because that way can solve the question soon.
  I want to be used to this way as soon as possible. Thank for reading.
