As soon as I woke up today, I checked my computer to see weather the class has been canceled or not. When I saw outside through the window, it was snowing hard. I felt lazy and disappointed. I wanted all the class would be canceled and I wanted to go back to sleep. However, I also wanted to go to the library. If the classes would be closed, the library might also be canceled. Thus, I was a little happy when I see the class were not canceled.
The reason why I wanted to go to the library is that I wanted to see the Olympic games. In my dormitory, the Wi-Fi system is not very good and it is hard to use the internet to watch TV. Also, we do not have TV except for the one in student lounge and I do not know how to use it accurately. Therefore, I just wanted to go to the library and see the Olympic games safely.

The Importance of My Field of Study / Career Choice
I haven't chosen any major yet. I am not sure what I am really interested in or what I like learning about. Last summer, when I arrived in New Paltz, I thought I was interested in International Relations due to my background of being a biracial, bicultural and binational. I was interested in learning the power balance in the world and how it affects to the society.
As I started to think about the power balance in the world, I thought that the Economy is one of the most important thing to be "powerful." Therefore, I started to think that I wanted to be in Economy major.
In the end of 2009, I read a book which was written by Cognitive Psychologist. I started to think that Psychology should be the one that I will learn in college. Psychology is very broad. It related to so many field of study. For example, Psychology can be related to Economy to know how people react with the prices or economy itself. Therefore, I should study Psychology to know the basic of how people think and behave.
I also thought that Sociology is very broad. It can be related to Politics, Economy, Psychology and Philosophy. I am also curious about subculture and it's effects to the society. For example, in our generation, Information Technology is very developed. Obviously, this affects people's relationship, no matter it is good or bad.
I think Sociology is the study that I can learn variety of things view from real world. However, Psychology is the study that I can learn many things view from what people think or behave. I think there are both important and I cannot choose one at this point. However, I think learning variety of studies is the importance of mt field of study and career choice.

Introducing myself
Hi, my name is George. I have been taking ESL course here in New Paltz since last summer, June 2009. New Paltz is a wonderful place to live, study, and play. There are a lot of natures and animal that haven't seen before and it is very quiet to study. Also, I can go to New York City by using bus which takes only about 1.5 hours.
Before I came here, I was born and raised in Japan. As you know my name, it is not a common name for Japanese. It because my father is American who came from the United States due to his profession. Therefore, I was born and raised in Japan until when I was eighteen yeas old.
I am planning to study in college in United States. Thus, I am preparing and studying English that I can adjust easily in the college in America. I am interested in psychology and sociology. I also want to study some economics, music, international relations and philosophy. I might change my mind after a while, but these are the areas that I am interested.
My hobby is reading books, listening musics, surfing the net, playing some "intelligent games" such as mah-jong :P I like reading mostly Japanese books. However, I listen variety of music from various places in the world. I listen classical such as Wagner or Bruckner, I also listen rock music like Nirvana or Radiohead. I am also a "Queen Freak."I know a lot of songs from 60's and 70's rock music era including The Beatles, The Who, Pink Floyd, Queen, King Crimson and so on.
These are my brief self-introduction. I would like to be known a lot about my self and I hope that you are going to have a nice time during this semester taking a same ESL Reading and Writing class.
