Plan for winter vocation and spring semester

As this semester is coming to the end, I have already had a plan for the winter vocation. Since I'm an exchange student from China, I must come back home after the semester ends. I am so excited because I never left home for more than 2 months, but this time I have been away from my home for 4 months, I miss my parents and my little sister so much.

After I come back home I will go to my favorite restraunt and have Chinese food with my family, I miss the traditional Chinese food so much. Since the New Year is coming, I must help my mother do some housework, prepare all the stuffs that we're going to eat and use for celebration and the several days after the eve. Spring Festival is so special for Chinese people, so I think I will be very busy before it. During the spring festival we will go to my grandparents' house to have a dinner with them, my grandmother misses me very much, she often gives me a call and ask me when I will come back, so I will spend two or three days staying with my grandparents. After the Spring Festival I think I must study, because I want to come back to the U.S. to get my masters degree after I finish my bachelors’ in China, I must prepare my Toefl and GMAT test, they are so difficult for me, but I think after several moths exercises I can get a satisfied score.

Then the next semester---spring semester, I will study in China, I will take some compulsory courses like statistics, Fundamental of Finance, international trade and some optional courses, music appreciation, basketball, and computer science. I like the music course best, because it can prevent me from becoming too narrow in capacity. The healthy growth of a student requires not only an intelligent mind, but also an ability to appreciate the beauty of artistic creation. In my spare time I need to prepare my Toefl and GMAT test, I have to make a study schedule to make sure I can finish my learning tasks. It must be a busy semester.

I really really like this song~

Flightless Birld---This is a song that is in the Twilight film, I think it is a very romantic song that I have listened it for more than 20 times



I was a quick wet boy
diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes
wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair
I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map
and called for you everywhere
Have I found you
Flightless bird,
jealous
weeping
or lost youamerican mouth
Big pill looming
Now I'm a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
curl through the wide fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures
thrown in the cold And clean
blood of Christ mountain stream
Have I found you
Flightless bird,
grounded
bleeding
or lost you,
american mouth
Big pill
stuck going down

2012, we all die ???

December 21 2012 has been suggested as the end of the world, each as we know it. Some say that on an ancient Mayan calender 2012 points to the end of the world. other say that for Nostradamus 2012 is also a possible doomsday.



I don't know if it is true. Some people don't believe it at all. They said that given past doomsday predictions and prophecies about the end of the world, earth should ended by now. since the earth is still here, it would be fair to say then that, to date, all prophecies and predictions about the end of the world 9before 2012) have faild.

But many people think it is true.

Two years ago, Patrick Geryl, then 51, quit his job as a laboratory worker for a French oil company. He'd saved up just enough money to last him until December 2012. After that, he thought, he wouldn't need it anyway. He started gathering materials necessary to survive — water purifiers, wheelbarrows (with spare tires), dust masks and vegetable seeds. His list of survival goods runs 11 pages long.



Is it true? We can wait and see.

The Twilight saga ---I love vampires

These days I am reading a novel---twilight.


It is the romantic vampire story based on the novel written by author Stephenie Meyer. Twilight has been the best romantic movie of the year 2008. Below are some quotes from the Twilight Movie:

When you can live forever what do you live for?
I only said it would be better if we weren't friends, not that I didn't want to be.


I know what you are. You're impossibly fast. And strong. Your skin ispale white, and ice cold. Your eyes change colour and you never eat orcome out into the sun.

I don't have the strength to stay away from you anymore.

Edward Cullen: That's what you dream about? Being a monster?
Bella Swan: I dream about being with you forever.

Black Friday

I got up at 5 o'clock in the morning and went shopping. I was so excited because this is my frist Thanksgiving in Chicago in U.S.
Many stores were not open early in the morning, but Disney store was open at 6 o'clock, I like mickey mouse, POOH, Princess and all the Disney characters,
I bought 6 pendants, they are so cute.


I bought my mum a handbag, it was much cheaper, I hope she will like it.

Go to california

On thursday Nancy's uncle invited us to go to his home in Orange Country California, I heard California is a very beaufiful state in the U.S, so I was so excited to go there.

Her uncle's home is near the Disneyland, so we went to the Dinsney theme park on friday. It is really a magic Kingdom, I love the Mickey mouse, pooh, princesses and a lot of cartoon characters there.

It's a wonderful trip.

An article about the American Breakfast
http://www.aacexchange.org/html/student/Brian/html/summary2.htm

Comparison and Contrast:
Chinese breakfast and American Breakfast have something in common.First, we all eat breakfast in hurry, nobody want to be late for work, so we must spend less time on breakfast than dinner. Second, the material is similar, we all make the breakfast with rice, meat, egg and milk, for exmple,the Chinese congee we eat a lot as breakfast look like the oatmeal in America. Chinese always like to eat fried eggs in the morning because people all think we need more protein to build up. Milk is also a very common thing in both Chinese and American breakfast. Last but not the least, Some kind of food we eat for the breakfast have the same source, an example from the article is the pancakes, it said that:"Pancakes: First adapted by the French from China and Nepal in the 12 century by Crusaders. Americans then took this recipe and used it themselves", although pancakes come from China, it is also changed the recipe now.
Even though, Chinese breakfast and American Breakfast have a lot in common, we can't ignore the differences between them. The biggest difference between them is the species. In China, you can not find a fixed breakfast if you travell to different places, in different place people have different food habits, in southern part of china, sweet food is popular but in the northern part Soy Milk and Dough Sticks is more common. while in American the breakfast seem similar in different places. In my opinion another different thing is that American breakfast is more nutritious than Chinese breakfast, there are many kinds of food in American breakfast, like juice, Cereals, fried eggs, meet, more food can provide more energy to us, however in China although we have a lot kinds of breakfast in different places, but in every place they have only one or two kinds of food, for example, people may eat only noodles or only drink soy milk, eating such a breakfast is more dangerous, Chinese peolple should take more care of their health.
