... that we were all East-Asians (i.e. Chinese, Japanese, and Korean), and that we all lived in/frequented our suite. The girls present were all my suitemates/close friends. The guys present were our boyfriends. The girls were naturally closer than the guys, since we live together, but, even though we are so close, we usually eat only with our boyfriends. Although this is true, it was still I comfortable, fun atmosphere where we could joke around. It was not necessary for my friends' boyfriends to show up to this party, but, it seemed that they were mere accompaniment to my friends. On this night, we all changed o ...

... only felt with the drifting in of snow and the voice of the radio announcer declaring a day off of studies. Mothers curse the administrators, insiting the weather shouldn't stop the daily study of knowledge. Fathers curse the plow trucks for their hectic ride into work that awaits before them. But the children open their eyes to see the miracle, little as it may seem. The children hesitate not, for at any moment they know it may melt away, like their past. The snowmen are created as if God had sprinkled a little of his miracle in each of their tiny hands. Snowballs are thrown playfully by young boys, showing ...

... We walked over to a corner and sat down. We spent several hours there, just sitting there listening to the storm. When we heard that the storm was over so we went outside. It was not a pretty sight that waited for us. Almost the whole village was destroyed. It was only the old houses witch where standing. Fortunately our house was one of the old solid houses. We started helping the nabours clearing their properties. We thought that everything was over, but no. All of a sudden the ground started shaking, more and more. I heard someone scream "It's an earthquake". I ran towards the house, but I never got inside. All ...

... We had an emotionally distant co-existence. One thing I have held dear like the person in Living through Personal Crisis by Dr. Ann Kaiser Stearns who saved all the clothes of their loved one is a small crystal Easter egg that he gave to me one Easter. It is a symbol of his love, and my valuing it. Mostly, he showed his love through things and outings to plays and musical recitals. Those times were sometimes fun sometimes tedious. But today, I have come to enjoy these types of cultural events. They have helped to shape who I am today. How do you grieve someone you hardly knew, but who is supposed to mean so much? ...

... sense of power and speed in his legs, the keen eyesight and -- the hunger. A hunger for human flesh. It was so overpowering, it controlled body and mind and forced action. Then, in a flash he leapt at the throat. He tore at the flesh, much the same as an animal would. He continued to ravage the victim until little remained but bones. The hunger was satisfied for the moment. He would again be hungry, and to satisfy his hunger he would have to rummage for more comestibles. He searches and explores the depths of the city of Transylvania until he spots a beautiful woman in her late twenties. He knows this ...

... to rise, seemingly from nowhere. I feel the warmth on my face, as it seems to energize my body and soul. I feel content and at ease with life and the world around me because nowhere else do I find this serenity. The beach in the morning is a lot like me. It comes to life slowly. As the sun rises, the waves roll in gently and the birds stretch out before they begin their flight for the day. When the wind picks up, so do the waves, the sights, the smells and the sounds. I, too, pick up after a cup of coffee. The beach differs from my work immensely. I work in the finance industry where customers ...

... your grandparents living in the same house as you. My culture has taught me that my elders are to be treated with the utmost respect because they have suffered in the past and have helped in creating us. We are a very religious culture and that can be seen at the many festivals honouring various saints. When my family visited Portugal, my breath was taken away by the beautiful sights and simple life on the farm. Nobody had a rushing schedule and everything felt as peace. They lived day to day on the food they grew and the milk from their cows. In my eyes, this kind of life is very fulfilling. There was always som ...

... made our task infinitely easier with the invention of a radiation suit which allows our field workers to work even in areas of the highest radiation concentration: the cities of what was formerly the United States of America. The discoveries are literally pouring in, and we have our hands full simply cataloguing the numerous finds. Our first find was a small rectangular object, containing a spool of thin ribbon, which one of our historians identified as what was known as a cassette. Simply put, it was a device on which sounds could be recorded. From its small size, our historian conjectured that it was o ...

... campgrounds, shelters with grills, a boat shop, and a playground. We have many apartments available for the elderly or for just a family new to the area. Shopping in Maysville is not a problem due to the various shopping centers and the downtown shops with park and go accessibility. With the shops downtown you can park and the walk where ever you choose with much convinces. I enjoy shopping in Maysville since we have a variety of stores to choose from. We have a country club that is full of fun activities to do including golf. The YMCA is a great place to work out at. With a pool, running track, weight room, ...
