Busy! Busy! Busy!

Last two weeks are busy weeks. I had my mid-term feedback day and I had prepared my first presentation in my life with my partner. My result was not very well, but anyway, I passed my mid-term and others. This may give me a liiiitle encourage. During my presentation, I was very very nervous when I saw many eyes looking at me and just listening to me carefully. No one said a single word but my partner and I. But, I felt well and I want do another presentation with a fully preparation. This week seems a little relaxed, compared to last two weeks. So I have time to write my blog. On the other hand, I feel I'm wasting time if I don't have many things to do, because I don't know what to do. Human beings are very strange animals. My friends often say that. If we have a lot of things to do, we'll feel very tired and don't want to anything any more. But when we have much time to play and sleep, we want to something again! How could this be? I'm always confused about this but have nothing to do. Instead, I feel this way again and again. Maybe this is life?

The first mid-term examination

The mid-term examination began on this Friday and lasts 3 days. I was a little worried about it. So I phoned my friends in China on Thursday. They told me that some of them only have the final exam, and it seems easier than mine. I don't know whether I should feel lucky or unlucky. Feeling lucky because I can make the most use of time, and feeling unlucky because I don't have enough time to do what I want to do, in fact, the things I want to do aren't very important. Anyway, this is my life. I have to or I must accept and adopt to it. Only the one who could adopt to the life may survive. On the other hand, I begin liking my new life, liking the busy life. I study everyday and have a part-time job. Sometime I felt very tired, but also very substantial. When I thought that I could even pay for my fee of next year, I felt so excited that I thought it was worth living like this. Though I live with my parents, I really want to be independed. I know I still don't have the ability, so I must try my best to learn to live as much as possible. In a word, learning English is the basis of everything here. But I'm not the one can pay all attention to one thing, even though it is very very important. I always have a good plan,but,I have to always change it because my laziness. I don't know what to do, don't know how to plan my future. Maybe I need more time to adapt to new life.

At last, I hope everyone in my class will get a good mark. Come on everybody!!

Three weeks' hard life

I could not believe how could I agree with my parents to come here. I really do not want to be away from my relatives and friends though my parents would be with me.I had not do everything what I wanted to do. But I had no choice because of the deadline to land Canada. I missed them everyday, I could not fall asleep in the night and could hardly eat anything, and I never stopped
thinking how to go back to my hometown. I had promised my friends I would back in one month. But I could not say a word to my parents, they would be sad. I had tried to go to the airport in Calgary by myself. I took the c-train and bus followed the map, and it took me about 2 hours to get there. What was worse, the price of a round-way ticket was so expensive that I could not afford it! It almost made me mad. Then,another 2 hours passed after I went home. (I did not tell my parents about this until I came here the second time, and they said I was crazy because I do not have directivity ) It was hard for me in that 3 weeks, I did not know what to do.I often asked myself how I could be so miserable! Then I found a job in McDonald's as a cashier, I tried to do much work to make myself a little comfortable. Fortunately, a teacher in the U of C said that I must take my college entrance examination. You can not imagine how excited I was! I bought the ticket in a travel agency (later I knew the price was much lower than the airport) that afternoon, then went into the plane the next day morning.
I was so happy that I cried because I could see my friends again, but also I felt a little sorry for my parents. It seemed like I had a little let them down. After all, I would be here for a long time. So maybe they could understand me.
Then, the July in 2007 became the most happy days in my life. Now I feel very very thankful and blessed!
I hope my life will be more and more brilliant!
