Today I listened to a lecture with a friend. I felt very excited because the lecture I chose is Psychology!! I had never thought about learn anything about Psychology before I searched the courses. I always thought that psychology is very difficult and I'm a little scared of psychologist because they may what I'm thinking right now. So before I listened the lecture, I was afraid that I could not understand the professor. But after I went to the classroom, it became not that scared. I chatted with my friend so that I could not be so nervous. The professor spoke so fast that I could not follow him at first. Later I could follow some of his speech because he had a ppt of outline and the topic became really interesting. This lecture talked about emotion, and it focus on facial expression. He let us see some videos on youtube. The video was about a series of questions to a man, and psychologist analyzed that the man was angry when he was asked a question, though he didn't admit he was angry. The clue was a very tiny change on his face. After we saw the video again, we found the tiny change!! There was another video which was about a suspect being asked whether he had stolen the money. Though he said he didn't steal any money, psychologists found clues on his mouth that proved he told lies. It really surprised me that how could they tell the truth just by watching the tiny movements on one's face!! This lecture was really very interesting; however, I still don't want to change my mind. I still don't want to study psychology because I don't want to scare others..........

It snows again. I like snow because it is very white and clean when it comes down. The snow makes the world more bright. I really like snowing when I was in China, especially big snowing. I remember that my high school classmates always asked our teacher to give us an activity class when there was a very big snow. Though there were many time that our teacher did not agree about that, there were also some time she did when she was very happy. Our teacher also like playing with us, but because we had to prepare the college entrance examination, she had to let us do more study. Once there was a very big snow, so we begged our teacher to let us play in the snow for a class. We were so lucky that she not only permitted it, but also gave us two classed to play in the snow. Maybe because she saw ours hard working, she gave us a chance to relax a little bit. We were very excited to play in the snow. We made snowballs to hit others. Our girls tried to make some boys fall down because we were always the ones who fell down. Some girls decided to attacked a boy by a circle, but they still did't win~~~. But anyway, we all had fun even most of us fell down again :-) Oh, I almost forget on thing. Our teacher had been a athlete in her college, so she was the "main force" in the girl team。。。 I like snowning and playing in snow ~_~

This is the first blog after the mid-term. This mid-term is harder than I thought before. It seems much easier too pass the exams last semester than this time. I didn't do well this time, and it did make me a little sad. But it always the result, the reality, no matter what it is, I have to face it, face it with an positive attitude. I also realized that I had wasted a lot of time on doing something else. I almost did nothing about learning English except some important homework. I enjoyed myself in searching the Internet, playing computer games and chatting with friends on the phone. Because the time could not come back, I could only consider that time as a encouragement for myself. ~~
It seems that I have to study much harder than before in order to pass the final exam. But I still wish that the teachers would make the exams easier so that I could go through it. o(∩_∩)o...
This week is not very busy, and I have to do some other homework as soon as possible. I don't want to finish my homework in a hurry again.197 Mybe this not very busy week can make me to adjust to the new beginning. Hurry up! Hurry up!!

Happy Chinese New Year !

Today is Chinese New Year. It's the biggest festival in China. Chinese people get together with thier families. No matter where they are, they will try their best to go home to celebrate it with family. The troditional way to celebrate the New Year is cooking and having dumplings, watching the celebration on CCTV and making many beartiful fires. This is the first New Year that I spend out of China. But I still want to celebrate it just like I was in China. I got up at 5pm this morning, because it was 8pm in China, and the celebration on CCTV began at that time. My mom and I were making dumplings while we were watching the celebration on line. We used to celebrated the New Year in my grandpa's house with my uncles, aunts and my cusions. We talked and laughed when we watched TV. Usually the work of making dumplings belongs to my mom, my aunts and my grandma, so my Dad,uncles, my cusions and I just play anything we want. When the clock clicked 12 times, the biggest time came. We began to say "Happy New Year" to higher generations, and we could also recive some money from them. The money means that we will be healthy and happy next year.Then we could go outside to make many beautiful and large fires. After we felt tired about that, dumplings would be ready. To eat dumplings at 12am at the New Year ialso means lucky. This New year seems a little boring because we could not celebrate it with relatives in China, but what the begining likes in a new years means what it will be in the next year. So I have to be happy the whole day. haha~~
Happy New Year to every Chinese people!

The Performance in Chinatown

My family went to Chinatown on Saterday to see the performance to celebrate the coming of Chinese new year. We are a little because we had to go there after I finished my woke, actually it was only one hour left when we got there. However, it still very amazing at the last hour. There was a small market to sell all kinds of Chinese troditional stuffs, and it seemed like we were really in a market in China. During the last hour, there were someone singing, dancing,etc. There were 9 little girls perfoming a dance called Hua Mu Lan. I think they are less than 10 years old, but they really worked very hard. Though some of them even fell down during the dance, they are still very beautiful and lovely. The last performance, which I like the most, is a team of Chinese kong fu. The name of their kong fu is Ming Zong Luo Han Quan. This was the first that I saw someone play kongfu so close. It was so amazing that I couldnot help cheering for them. There are two or three of them played very well, and I think that they must begin learn kongfu when they very very yong.When I was in my high school, there was a girl could also play another kind of kongfu. But I only saw her performance through TV. I also found that there are really some difference between this two kinds of kongfu. I was really very very exciting!! There are not only Chinese men in the team, but also woman, foreigners, and kids. Although some of them couldn't performance so very, they still showed their strong spirit. I found I really like Chinese kongfu from that day, but noly see someone play,never do it on myself~~ ^_^

First time to skate

Last Saturday I went to skate with my classmates at U of C. That was my first time to skate in Canada. There were a lot of people. I was a little scared, but I felt a little lucky because there was a boy who did not know how to skate either. I went to skate with him. Both of us used something to prevent us falling down. Though we skated very slow and could not experience others' fun, we also had fun in our way. We talked a lot and saw others falling down,:-). There were someone who really skated very well and it was also fun to look at them. There was a hocky game that night, so there were more people than usual. There were also some cheeres during that night. Actually I went there as soon as I finished my work, and it took me more than half an hour to get there. I felt very tired after a six-hours work every, and I had thought to call my classmate that I would not come because I wanted to have a rest. However, I don't know why I didn't call, and I'm so glad now that I didn't call my classmate that time. Because I really had fun that night.113. I think there some pity. I hadn't skate without the stuff which protected to not fall, and that made feel a little boring, but I really scared to fall down. Sometime I think maybe falling down can make skating more funny. Maybe I won't scare to skate any more after I falling down some times o(∩_∩)o...

The first blog of the new semester

Today we're supposed to write new blog with the topic of the best way to learn a foreign language (in my own opinion, this topic is a little boring,because we always discuss this topic ~~~ just for fun). I think it should a combination of studying in class and out of class. Study in class can make us learn more academic language, and do much help in our other programs' study. Also it is a more effective way to communicate with others. However, only study in class is not enough.We need fresh air! Then study out of class may make language more interesting. We can learn lots of stuff that the text books don't have outside. I think communication is a very effective to improve language learning skills.Anyway, textbooks are boring more or less, on the contrary, making friends and communicate with others can make us feel more comfortable and more interested in learning foreign language. Like this winter holidays, though I didn't go to school, I didn't feel that my English didn't improve. I had more chance to chat with my workmates while I'm working, and that did help to my English. I feel happy and English doesn't seem that boring as before. Anyway, Language is just a tool to get information and show our expressions,which is based on some system study in class, if you want to make your conversation more effective.

The Christmas Party

Yesterday my workplace,Safeway,had a Christmas Party at a bar near there. The party began at 5pm. I went there after my work at 6pm. This is my first time to go to a bar. It made me a little exciting at first, but then I found it was a little boring. There were few people I know,and many people I saw before but not very familiar. I planned to go with two other Chinese ladies.But another lady who is very friendly to me at work came as soon as I got on my clothes.Then I decided to keep company with her. After her coming, she treated me a beer. Then we talked, laughed, and took pictures. This time I felt very interesting. I took many pictures with my colleague and talked much. I knew more about them then before. Maybe because the alcohol,I can communicate with them more fluently. We drank,ate and talked till 11pm.Anyway, it was better than I thought......

Take a rest

Finally, we finished.Yesterday is my final day in this semester.What's more, it's my final workday on campus as well! How excited I am!! To tell the truth, I really like the job on campus and I can work there next semester if I just send them an e-mail.However,I heard that our homework next is crazy.So I have to give up this job. I was excited yesterday because not only it was the final day, but my supervisor give me a greeting card! This is my first greeting card in Canada.
She said she really liked working with me because of my optimistic approach to work. By the way, she won't work there too,because she had found a better job. I'll miss her.There were some days that only she and I worked there in night. We worked very well and she was very kind even I did something wrong. Anyway,we hardly work together again,and I hope that I will have that kindly colleague in the future when I find another job. Now I just take a big~~~ rest. hehe I like holiday~~

The last one !!!!!!!

This is my last blog in the semester. How excited I am! Today we had a small party to celebrate our last class in this semester. We brought our food from home or bought some desert in markets. All of them are very delicious~~. I brought some noodles which is made by my mom this morning, but at the end of the part, I had to bring some back home-- I had brought so much that there are still lots of noodles left, I was a little depressed~. Oh, we also took pictures! I like taking pictures with my friends, classmates and our teachers, though I rarely see myself in the pictures because I don't like myself in pictures, except those taken when I was very very little.
Somehow I feel a little upset. In China, after the winter or summer holidays, I could still go to the same class with the same classmates. But now, I'm not sure we'll have the same classmates and teachers after the winter holiday. I think I've just begun to be used to the new environment, but I have to get a new beginning soon. I hope that nothing will change but the text books after this winter holiday......

Nothing

I still have two blogs to write, but I don't know what to say. I just study and work these days and haven't do anything special. I think a special thing happened recently could be our presentation. This time we tried a way to present. In the last presentation in the mid-term, we divided into 10 groups, and we planned to have 5 groups presented each day. By the way, we used powerpoint last time and one group just needed to present one time. However, this time, though we also divided into 10 groups, we used posters, and we had 10 people presented together! One of a group stood beside their poster, the other can walk around the classroom to have presentation from others'. In that case, we had to present more than once, and most of us had presented for three or four times. After the presentation, we are all tired, but anyway, we had practised some times before our instructor came to listen our presentations. I like this kind of new presentation. First, I haven't seen this kind of presentation,it's a little exciting. Second, we prepared much for it,like designing and drawing our posters. Third, we can really have fun when we have others' presentations.

The last week

How time flies!! I can't believe we only have one~~ week left! It seems I've just come to this programme. This would be an exciting week, but also a little busy. Actually, last week was the most busy week. We had lots of work to do. However, I went through it finally, unbelievable~ We are going to finish our term, every time I think about this, I will ask myself: is that true?
As usually, I can't help thinking about how to spend my holiday. In fact, I had delayed this kind of thinking for about half a month. On one hand, I was so busy to think about it because of the class and my part time job. On the other hand, the winter holiday here is so...so...so...short!!! In China, we have a very very big holiday during the winter because of the traditional festival. Then I would go out with my friends. I like winter because I had a lot of fun and memory in winter. And recently I found that the smell here is a little like the smell in my hometown~~ hehe Winter is always cold but has a lot of fun.
