Last journal

well, here comes the last journal...Joy asked us to write about what we learned this semester. Ok, now let's begin.

The first is ...I make lots of new friends! I put it first because I think it is the most important. Friends are always the most important.

We have been learning writing academic paper for almost an entire semester. we learned what thesis statement and topic sentence are and how to write them. We learned the structure of an essay. Also, we studied about citation, which is really important and can avoid plagiarism. We discussed about the way of using commas and run-ons and conjunctions, on which I made lots of mistakes.

We also studied about how to make a good presentation.

Well, I predicted that this journal would be short and now it come true. Hah...Congratulations to Joy! UCLA is a really really nice school and I wish I could study there...hah It will be a pity not see you in campus and say "hi" to you next semester. I will miss you...I promise.

Then...Brooke...I don't know how to comfort you. I know everything we said will not help you to get out of the hardness, but I still want to tell you that I feel sorry. I know you are strong in your heart and I hope you will get better soon. Your bad will not want to see you unhappy right?

All in all, I feel lucky to meet you guys this semester. The time spent with you will become a really happy memory that I will never forget.

Journal6...

How time flies!
It has already been april. I just can hardly imagine that most of this semester has passed. I can still remember how I felt upset at the beginning of this semester. I missed home, old friends and food. Fortunately, everything went well in these three months even though homework and exams sometimes freaked me out. This weekend I kind of enjoyed myself. I did not do much work. This may be the last relaxing weekend before the final exam. Three five-pages paper are in the corner and I really have to start them next week.

I have been playing Final Fantasy Xiii for a really long time. It is an amazing game can be played both on playstation3 and xbox. The story is really attractive and what the best part is, the quantity of the game image is great!! The characters are designed as exactly like real people! I am so fascinated by this game....Therefore...I got to finish it quickly 'cause I do not want it to effect my final grade...hahah I have already put too much time in it!><

I am also playing another game(OMG...why I like playing video games sooo much...), called "Little big planet". It is sooooooo cute! This game can be played by four players which is a great game for friends. It is kind of an adventure game, a little bit like Mario Bro. but cuter. The adventurer is a brown wool doll and it looks soooooo cute!!( I thought I am saying it again...) While your are doing adventures, you may find stickers, decorations and different objects. Then, you can change clothes, hairstyles and accessories for the doll. I just made my doll into a corpse bride! Hah!

Tomorrow is Monday...again...Even though I do not want to face it...I have to. What makes me happy is the summer break is coming less than a month. My birthday will be the day I land in Beijing. I can't wait to be home.
