My FeelinG

Final exams are coming in two weeks.

I have a lot of things to do.

I need to start studying for the finals, especially accounting, and I also need to catch up with my macro-economics class.

BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is really hard.

I cannot get good grades in that class.

I do not know why.

I really do not want to take the final of economics.

If we can get average of B on each assignment, exams, quizes, written assignments, and excel assignments, we do not have to take the final exam.

I really want to skip it...

But my grade is not so good...

So I need to study hard, but I cannot concentrate on my studying these days.

I just talk, talk, and talk.

When I talk to my friends or family, I can study for a while but not so long.

I do not know what to do.

My friends encourage me, and it helps me a lot to study.

I am upset with my school work, but I have some more things that bother me recently.

One is my English skill, including all writing, reading, and speaking.

Another reason is... I really cannot do anything with it.

But it makes me feel depressed and sad..........................

Some of my friends say to sleep to me.

I want to sleep too, but I have a hard time to go to bed.

I know the reason.

Because of that reason, I usually cannot take a nap either...

So I always cannot get enough hours of sleeping...

My friends care about me and stay with me when I do not want to be alone.

It helps me a lot.

Thank you so much, my friends.

April 19

I went to church with my friend this morning.

I was late, so I just went to the service.

I missed the worship, I just listened to the half of the sermon.

After the service, I had lunch with some people from my school.

We went to Buffet City. The food was pretty good.

My American friend gave me a ride today.

He also gave a Chinese girl a ride.

Three of us, two Chinese guys, four more Chinese people, and some Americans ate lunch together.

Some of them go to different church though.

It was a good time.

I have been doing nothing since I came back to my dorm.

I just took a nap.

I am going to the library in one or two hours, and I will study.

Also, I need to use two meal plans!!

Shades Show

I went to see the Shades Show with my friends tonight.

Shades is a dance group in my university.

Some of my friends are in it, and they are so cool.

The show was great, and I really enjoyed it :):)

I want to try to practice some steps some day. haha.

Thank you very much, everyone in Shades!

I really had fun :D



I am going to church tomorrow.

I am going to the College Park before the service.

I have not been to College Park for a long time.

I do not remember how many times I went this semester.

Once? Twice?

I sometimes visit different church this semster, and I just go to service when I go to Beltway.

I hope I will have a good day tomorrow.

April 13

It is already April 14, but it is OK. lol

I had a pretty good day today.

I had something to talk to my friend,and it was good conversation.

I am in my dorm right now and am trying to catch up with my MACROECONOMICS class.

I really do not like this class.

I really do not understand economics.

So I worry about MICROECONOMICS in suumer.

Some people told me that microeconomics is harder to understand than macroeconomics.

I hope I can do well.

I am studying with my friends now.

Each of us is studying different subjects.

One of them from is studying history,

and another friend is studying information systems.

It is hard to stay up lol, but it is fun:D EXCEPT the reason why we need to stay up late or all night.

You know what I mean?

It is fun to stay up late with friends for fun like party or chatting. BUT it is not fun to study...haha.

Well,, I gotta go back to study.

Well, I might take a nap a while and will study hard later.

Bye, guys!

April 12

I went to Beltway church this morning.

The church is huge, and there are three services every week. Each servise has more than 700 people.

There were more people today because of the Easter break.

I went to the second service at 9:40.

Three people got baptized, and one of them is a new student at my school.

When I saw her baptism, I felt something.

I do not know how to explain what I felt, but I felt something.

I need to try to learn more about Christianity.

Whenever something relating to Chritianity, I feel "why cannot I understand? Everybody else does!"

But I know reasons why I do not understand what pastor says during service or what my friend says in the Bible study.

The first reason is the language.

But I do not try hard to learn or know more about God.

I just say it that I need to.

Not only saying, but I need to DO it. I mean I need to try to learn it.

Just saying something is not good. We should DO what we said.




After church, I went to my friend's house and made food the party this afternoon.

We made a lot of sushi and rice balls :D

It was so much fun!!

The new week is starting tomorrow.

I will work hard with my school work and other things.

I did not study this weekend, but I will work hard from tomorrow!

Only three weeks and a week of finals are left until the summer break comes!

I know I will be in America this summer, but I do not know what I am doing.

I know I will take classes, but I do not know how my schedules are gonna be.

I need to pass two cleps during may or the beginning of June.

If not, I have to make new schedule for the second half of summer and for next semester...

Well, I gotta go,,,

I hope you guys will have a good night!!

Today April 11

The new President of ISA(International Students' Association) told me that I got the position of the treasurer yesterday.

New officers had breakfast at his house this morning.

We had crepe, and it was really good!

After breakfast, I went to Hobby Lobby, had lunch, and went to Wal-Mart with my friends.

The lunch was red curry with pork of medium at Ann-Thai Kitchen.

After I came back to my dorm, I took a nap and did my laundry.

Around 8, I went to my friend's house for the birthday party of our friends.

We had a piece of cake and talked.

After guys left, girls talked like we did before.

We did not read the Bible or books relating to it today.

We talked about "what is kindness?" and "what is strength?" tonight.

It was good conversation.

I hope I can say more opinion or comments.

It was fun day today.
