Last night I had a terrible dream. I dreamt that I got a zero in my final presentation!!! The reason was I didn't show up on time. At first, I was in a happy mood because we had a very very big party on campus. All the students in EAP were there eating and chatting. By the way, the food was paid by the university...... I was only a little late when I got there (only a little late). I saw Ivy, Helen, Jack, David... I put my bag beside them and then went to get some food. However, there were lots of people waiting to get food. It seemed only 5 or6 student were in the line, but I had wait more than half an hour. Jen was late too, and she kept accompany with me until I got my food. After we all got food, it was 12:00 (when I left Ivy, it was 10:00)!!! When I went back, I found that there were full of students and they sat around a big table in the party. Fortunately, Ivy kept a seat for me.(*^^*) But... as soon as I sat down, Ivy told me that the presentation had already begun!!!!! I was so worried and looked at Jen. She told me my name was at the last of teacher's list. Then I turned back to Ivy, and asked her whether the teacher had called me. She said very very clearly "YES". I knew I was ruined... Suddenly the teachers (there were suddenly appeared three teachers and they were not EAP teachers) said:"this is the longest break, you can do whatever you want." Then I realized that this was the third break already and it was lunch time...... I took out my food, my classmates near me were very happy because their food had been eaten and they didn't need to go and get food again-- I got a lot of food...However, I didn't want to eat at all. I just sat and looked at something I didn't know...... (woke up)

I don't know why I always dreamt I was late for school, especially before a big exam. But fortunately, usually I can pass it if I dream that. I felt very tired when I woke up......

We've just finished our last class this semester but I don't feel very excited. On the contrary, my brain is blank at all. I don't know what to think even tomorrow I have a presentation. I even don't feel nervous because I'm too...... nervous. This semester is almost done. Whenever a semester is going to be done, I always feel a little excited because I can play a lot after the final exam. When I was in Grade 12, I had the same situation. There wasn't any class in one month before the university entrance exam. Though we went to class everyday like usual, we almost didn't study at all...... just like the situation now.

I took a nap as soon as I went home, I really don't know what to do. I don't want to think about the presentation, I don't want to think about the final exam...... I was like a ghost... Then I took a shower to drive away the ghost.

I'm afraid that my brain will become blank again. If so, I will fail the exam. frustrated...... I can't think more about the school.... I think I need a sleep... I wish tomorrow is another sunny day!! Hurry up!! Hurry up!!

Time flies

My family have already been here for one month. Time goes so fast!! The day I came here seems just like yesterday. Everything seems so usual that I even don't feel I'm in a foreign country. When I took c-train this morning, I suddenly found that there are many people with different color eyes. If I was in China now, I must feel so strange and uncomfortable. However, almost nothing makes me feel like a foreigner now. I think I can get used to the new environment during this year. Sometimes when I think about that I have been here for one year, I miss my friends and relatives in China very much. During this year, the most question I have heard should be "do you like it here" or "what do you think of Canada". My answers are always "Yes, I like it". In fact, I don't like the environment here at first because I miss my hometown so much. But during the daily life, I like here more and more. Maybe because of the studying, I have less time to think about other things.

Today our lovely teacher came back. We are all very very happy!! He also brought us shirts. I thought he would bring us some little things. haha But there are only a few days left before the final exam. It always makes me upset when I think about the final exam. I can't believe the writing exam comes this Friday. I'm also worried whether I can pass the exam. It makes more and more nervous. I wish I can finish it as soon as possible......

We had a second pizza party since we came here. This pizza party was much better than last one because we had some special performance...... Our teachers played guitar and sang songs!! We really enjoyed it last Thursday. Last time some students even didn't want to come because we just ate some pizza. Maybe this time, in order to let more students come, the teachers came up with the idea. And it did works, some students didn't want to come to the party at first, but when they hear that there would be some interesting performance, they changed their minds. hehe~~~ I like this party!!

Our writing will go to New York next week, so we have to have another teacher teach our writing. I'm sure that all of us will miss him very much. He is very nice and patient. There are only two weeks left before the final exam. I really want him to stay with us. Maybe we will study harder if he brings us some gifts after he comes back. (*^__^*)

It is not busy while I'm working, and that makes me feel lucky today. Time goes so fast, so I don't feel very tired after working. I even almost forgot the finishing time~~~~. However, I don't want to work next Saturday because there will be a lot of projects to work -- I want to finish this program as soon as possible so that I can start my subject.

Yesterday I went to play squash with friends again. I had never played squash before last Friday. We planned to play badminton last Friday, however there was no enough room for us. Then Felix suggested to play squash. None of we three girls had ever play that game. We didn't want to just go home because we there was no room to play badminton, so we decided to try something new. We rented some rackets and began to play. Felix taught us how to play it. Squash isn't difficult to know the roles, but it doesn't easy to manage the ball. Though we only played less than thirty minutes, we did have a lot of fun. So we decided to play it again later.

Then we played it yesterday after school. I stayed at school to wait the students in the other class instead of going home. This time we played 45min with two balls~~ We made one ball up to the ceiling in twenty minutes, and the other one went to the ceiling when we were going to finished playing. When I got up this morning, I found that my legs were really hurt . But I still want to play it :) I didn't use to do much sports in China except swimming. Because the school was hard, I even seldom went to swim in Grade 12. I think the life in university here will be more interesting than those in China. I didn't find much interests before and I complained about with my friends. But now we took turns. They always complain that it's boring in universities, and I told them how much fun I have here. hehe


Every where is interesting if you want interests.

This week seems very easy. There's no much homework and papers and I even feel a little boring. I had held a book in the center public library, but the book is still not available since about two weeks! I planned to go to the library to ask whether there is something wrong with my card of something else. However, I've just heard that we could register this spring and summer semester to begin the study at this university. So I was busy about going to Service Stop to ask what I should to register. Finally it becomes easier that I thought before, and I'm going to register on line with my friend's help today.

I'm very excited because I've studied English for 8 months after this April and I really desire to learn something else. All my friends in China have begun to study high level mathematic and they said there's much more fun than that in high school. I thought I couldn't begin the study until this September, so I had thought a lot about what I would do during May to September. It seemed more boring.

I also want to change a job after this May. I have worked in the same place for more than five months. Though I had changed my position in my work place this year, it still seem a little boring and there's no more challenge.
Last night I talked about that with my friends on line and they were happy I finally could go to university. I think it would be a new beginning, and I can meet more different people. I like enjoying my life......

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...
