April 7th, 2011 Today is Thursday, my roommate and I had just had dinner with two American friend. One of them is called Kelly. She is a writing tutor in the writing lab and she is a really kind girl. Anther one named Sndhia and she told us her mother came to America when she was a graduate student, just like my roomate did. There happens one thing that was really interesting. At first, before kelly's friend came, we were talking about Kelly's new Chinese name. Though my roommate and I have thought one,moli, which is the flower's name. But the problem was we forgot the flower's English name and did not know how to explain to Kelly. However, while we were having supper, I talked with Sandhia about the tea, and she suddenly mentioned her favorate tea name- jasmine tea. At that time, my roommate and I found that "jasmine" was the name that we wanted to tell Kelly. It was really a coincidence that we four had laughed for a long time. I have to say it was really a happy time.

April 8th, 2011 Today is Friday which is also the last day to have classes. My friend and I had just been to the Athena to watch a film. Actually, it was a scared movie called insidious. This movie is talking about a story that happens in a family. At first, one of the children of this family suddenly fell into coma and could not wake up. At the same time, a lot of strange and horrible things happened. Then this family moved to anther place since the mother thought it was the house haughted. However, nothing changed and everything got even worse. Therefore, they called a team, who are profetional in dealing with these psychic things, to help them. A psychic old woman in that team found it was the boy's problem. What really lied inside the house was the boy's physical body without soul and his soul was lost when he was sleeping. Therefore, what they were going to do is to let the boy's soul go back to his body. Just then, the mother of the boy's father suddenly told them that the boy's father once come across the same situation. Therefore, they decided to let the father fall into sleep and try to find the boy's soul. At the end, the father find his child's soul and brought him back. But one thing that nobody notice is that there is another soul replace the father's soul. This movie is realy good I think since there is no bloody plot and no one knows what may happened in the next minute.

April 9th, 2011 I am so tired since I have just attended a party that hold by our dormitory. The RA of our dormitory prepared a lot of food, like pizza, chicken, and beverage. Also, people may play video games or wii there. I had played wii for ma long time which really had my arm ache. I played game about table tennis, bowling, basketball, and fighting. And I think I definitively did a great job in bowling and basketball game. Sometimes I could even make a strike in bowling game. Also, my team always won since I may always help my partner spare the left bowls. The most interesting part is the basketball game since my team always won no matter I play good or not. Sometimes I missed a lot of balls, but may partner can always caught up and won the game. I think I am really a luck guy.

April 10th,2011 Today is the last day of this weekend. I will have to deal with my education class homework. Last time I wrote a reflection paper, but this time I will have to write something about the portfolio. After reading chapter one and two, I realized the importance of using portfolio in education. Though I had never used that before, I believe It will be really helpful if only I do not change my mind to become a teacher. To be honest, I do not like using computers to study since I think computers are used only for fun. also, my type speed is really low, which made me seldom use computer to study. But I cannot ignore the positive part that computer bring. Not only the large amount of information can be found on the internet, but also some really good programs are frequently used in daily life.

April 12th,2011 Today is really a busy day. I have got so many homework to do and I even have to finish a quiz on the internet this evening. This quiz will be lasted for two hours. since today is the first day to do this kind of quiz, I have got a little bit nerves. Also, I understand that since my classmate are all native speakers, I may meet more problems than them while doing the quiz. Therefore, the only thing i can do is to review the note about this class as much as possible. I just with I have good lunch on this. What is more, it is still raining outside. I wish sunny day may come soon.

April 14th, 2011 Yesterday i wrote a paper about emotional controlling. that was the first time that wrote so many worda-more that a thousand words. it was really painful for me since i forst felt there seems nothing to write. though i finally finished this paper yesterday, i am still not satisfied with it. i think next time i may do better. also, yesterday i finished a quiz on the internet about education class. it took me about two hours but i finally got them all right. i am really happy with that. i wish next time i may also able to do it correctly. what is more, these days my math class is talking about the geology, like angles, circles, and polygons. i like this part very much since it is really interesting to learn. though most knowledge about geology i have already learnt in china, teachers may always teach it in different ways. therefore, i learnt a lot of knowledge that i have never heard before.

April 16th, 2011 Today is Saturday. this morning, my roommate and i went to summit to ask for the information about the house renting since next quarter, we are going to move off campus. at first, we decided to move to common since it is very cheap. however, some of my friends told us summit seems much better than common. because of the renting fee, we seldom think of moving there. however, after went there by myself, i seem cannot wait to move there. the bedroom is bigger than the dormitory and each of us could own a bathroom. what is more, the kitchen is just like what i imagined before. besides, we are able to swim there and exercise there. though it is a little bit far from school, we may take the bus to go to school. also, we are able to cook dinner by ourselves. i wish that day will come soon.

April 17th, 2011 today is sunday. i have just been to china king to have dinner with my friends. while i was eating, i cannot stop thinking the food that we will cook after we move of campus. my roomate like spicy and sauty food. though i may not able to eat very spicy food, i still like to have that. but according to the chinese medicine, people should not eat too much spicy food. also, we had better eat proper sweet, sauty, spicy, sour, bitter food every day and none of them should be eaten too much every day. for example, balsam pear is a vegetable which taste very bitter, but it is good for people's health especially for people who got "shanghuo". what is more, we should eat five color of food every day. for instance, green for vegetables, white for white reddish, black for black soya bean, and so on.

April 18th, 2011 Today is Monday. I think it is really a tired day since i have had class from 8am to 2pm without rest. also, i do not feel weel today and i think i have got cold, which made me react very slow and feel terrible. on my edec170 class, we learnt how to use live-text software. i think this is a very good program though it is a little bit expensive. this program may help us record all the thing and thought we had, which may contribute to our future teacher career. therefore, i decide to use and write this one carefully, not only for its helpfulness, but also for my interesting. what is more, the midterm text for the physic science is on next Monday, i just wish i could able to better on this.

April 20th, 2011 Today is kind of a bad day since i had just got my quiz result on physic science. i have got a really low score that i had never thought about since i thought i might only made one mistake about mechanical. therefore, the result shocked me a lot. also, the problem is i really a lot of careless mistakes, which made me a little bit angry. but i will not be disappointed since i believe i may still able to get a high score on the continuous exams, like next week' midterm exam. therefore, i will do my best these days to review and make a big progress in this subject.

April 21th, 2011 I have had math exam today and i think i seems did well, though i do not know the result. also, i went to the help section for physic science today. i used to think physic science is too easy for me and i do not have to pay attention on it. however, after seeing yesterday's quize result, i understand nothing is easy to do and i should be careful and patient to everything. that is why i went to the help section today. the tutors there are very kind and helpful and i figured out some questions that i ignored before. therefore, i did achieve a lot today.

April 23th, 2011 I had just eaten dumplings with my friends. when i was in china, i had never thought dumplings were such delicious. however, after coming here, i suddenly found that Chinese food is really different from the food that made in china. also, i went to walmart this afternoon and bought a lot of food, like corns. i really like eating corns when i was in china. after coming here, i seldom eat corns since i couldn't cook them in the dormitory. however, some days ago, my friend told me i might cook corns by using microwave oven. only after ten minutes, the corns will be able to eat.

April 25th, 2011 Today is Monday, a busy day. i had a midterm exam this afternoon about physic science, i wish the result will be better. the lucky thing is that i had receive the result of the math exam and i have got everything right. i am still a little bit confused about this paper about reporting. i have rewrite the whole structure, but i am not sure if the statement of the report at ill the same with the usual ones. no matter what what, this time the paper seems much more specific and seems better. therefore, my topic change from the Disney company to the Disney movies.

April, 28th, 2011 These days, storm comes frequently though most of the time it is sunny outside. i went to the help session today and the classroom was used by other students. therefore, we went to another classroom. however, not long after, that some students came and said they had class at that room. so we changed to another room. during this time, i tried hard to do the psychic science exercises. i finally understand all the questions with the student assistants' help and felt very satisfied about it. also, i am still working in my reporting paper but it seems still have problems in it.

April 30th,2011 I like animals. when i was young, we used to raise several dogs, and one of them even had four puppies. my parents also like animals. my father like pigeon very much. before i was born, my father had kept more than 20 pigeons at home. however, since my mother is allergic to it, my father stopped to raise pigeons. these days, since my father rent a place near the rural area, he may able to raise pigeons again. also, my parents like fish very much. they always keep all kinds of fish in the home. during these years, we have already feed more than 15 kinds of fish, and most of them are tropical fish.

May 1st, 2011 Something unlucky happened today. about a month ago, my roommate and i sold a used book on the internet from amazon and we mailed it from usps. someday ago, we receive a letter from the usps said that our package was broken and needed the object's detail. then we wrote it and mailed it back to usps. however, today, we receive a letter from the buyer said he still did not receive the package. this time we understand that our book must be lost. since we may not ask usps to return or compensate our lose. this time we will lose a lot of money since we have to return the fee to the buyer. i just wish it will not happened next time.

May 2nd, 2011 Today is another busy day. i have had class from 8am to 4pm. the most happy news is that the exam result of the physic science is 96 out of 100, and the average score is 80. though i want to celebrate it today, i still got alot of thing to do. one essay is due tonight and a midterm exam will be on Wednesday. so i still have to work hard on it. i wish i may able to get a good score on that exam.

May 4th, 2011 I have just signed the lease in commons for summer quarter. it is a four people apartment and there are two bathrooms. the most amazing part is that there is a kitchen in it. though i will only live there for three months, i will well furnish and arrange my new home. also, it may be the preparation for the next apartment. my roommate and i will carefully deal with the cooking problem sine we do not have to eat in the dining hall all the time. we may go to market once a week and cook big dinner in the weekends. also, we may invite some friends to go there.

may 7th, 2011 food is necessary requirement for people. though some people regard food as what make them full, i think food have more value than that. to begin with, proper food may provide people good and positive mood. since people feel better after they eat well, which means people may feel depressed when they feel hungry. sometime, eating certain food may also help people keep a happy emotion. also, proper ways to eat food may also help people keep fit. for instance, everyday, people should eat different kinds of food to gain all kinds of nutrition. also, nether of these food should be eaten too much since it is good to have different kinds instead of much quantity.

may 8th,2011 these days, more and more people prefer to live together with animals, like dogs ,cats, birds, fish and so on. Above all, dogs are always the best choice for most people since some people believe dogs are humans’ friends. Many families have kept dogs as pets in home. however, we should be more careful about keeping dogs since some people throw their dogs because they lose patient. therefore, more and more homeless dog have been seen. i think before we keep animals we should consider carefully since we should take responsibility for their lives. also, the animals exists are not entertain humans but to survive.

may 9th. 2011 friedrich wilhelm froebel is a childhood educator. he established the first kindergarten program in Germany and found several innovative schools and an orphanage. different from most educators at that time, froebel believed children were social beings and activities were the basis for knowing. also, he thought play was an essential part of learning. i strongly believe his point of view since i think children should play as much as possible. also, because of children' development, they may not able to complete other thing well. playing is the thing that most helpful for children to grow up and recognize this world.

May 13th, 2011 I have been kept on going pin center for almost one week. since summer is about to come, many girls want to shape their bodies beautiful. though many girls decide to shape body by keep on a diet, more people believe losing weight by exercise seem more health. also, i am one of them and i think losing weight with extremely food control will not keep your ideal weight last for a long time. these days, i have do a lot of kinds of exercises. i played pin-pang, rocket ball, and do yoga exercise. what is more, i have eaten less than usually at evening. now, i feel much better now.

May 14th,2011 next Monday there will be two midterm exams. one is physic science, another one is math. i suddenly think about the bad and good aspects about quiz and exams. to begin with, the bad part is considered more by students. since some students only study for exam, quizes and exams seem to be pressure to them. also, some students may lose interests in some certain subjects because of the exams and pressure. they may became hate or tired of studying these subjects, and even lose patient. however, the positive impacts seem more than negative impacts. since exams may help students conclude and memory what they have learned, students may able to learn more from the exams. also, from the questions on exams, students may easily find which part they are still confused or do not understand.

May 15th,2011 I have just bought two clothes when i went to the court street. i suddenly remember my roommate always say she need to a pair of new shoes or a t-shirt. though we have bought a lot, it seems like there will never be enough clothes for us girls. also, when girls want to match their clothes in the morning, they always find they are lacking of clothes. i think this may one of women special characters. also, women seem show super power and patient when they go shopping. on the contrary, going shopping becomes a disaster for most male.

may 17th, 2011 my roommate and i have just moved our furniture in the dormitory. we have changed the beds', desks, and tables' position. after designing our dorm room, we start to make it come true. it seems like everything becomes new and different. i think it is good for people find something different in their lives since it may provide people passion and energy. also, people should always try to find something different and have confident to make change. what is more, even everything seems old and normal, we should own the ability to find the interest from it.

may 19th, 2011 TOEFL test seems not far away from now. i feel a little bit nervous, and i think this may be the usual reaction before every tests. just like before doing something challenge or difficulties, people may usually concern too much which seems worth nothing. it is human nature to worry and think before something happened, or we may become the same with wild animals. therefore, some people said animals are so lucky that they do not have to worry anything. however, i have to say that is the part why we human is distinguished with animals.

may 21th, 2011 today there is an international street fair hold on the court street. we went there at about 12 o' clock. so many people from different countries and different cultures came to celebrate their characters. also, it was the time that tourists may able to learn and find others' belief and culture. what is more, people may able to taste food from different countries. we tasted Japanese food, Chinese food, and Arabic food. they are really delicious. also, today's weather is really good and comfortable.

may 22th, 2011 Sunday is always a busy day. as usual, i have eaten really full. i just cannot stop eating while i was having meal. every time after lunch, i will always regret to eat so much. however, i can not stop eat like that though i will regret every time. therefore, i once have a dream which is to become a food taster. so that i may able to eat and taste what ever i want and eat as much as possible. i once thought that job may be the best job in the world. however, i then found that even this job has its restriction. since food taster has to eat and taste all kinds of food, they will have to carefully protect their tongue feeling. therefore, they will not able to eat whatever they want. for instance, the spicy food and very salty food are not able to eat very often.

may 23th, 2011 these week weather has become really wired. last week temperature was suddenly falling down from 30 degree to 10 degree. we have to take out of our warm cloth which is used for keeping warm in winter. however, last Friday, sun came out and temperature raise a lot. though everything seems back to normal, it suddenly rain last night with heavy thunderstorm. also, this morning raining kept on for a long time, and sun came out at noon. however, just now, it suddenly rained again. i have to say everything seems really interesting.

may 24th, 2011 summer is coming. Ohio university has become a really big garden. all kinds of plants have been planted and bollow as summer near by. while walking along the road, student may see flowers with different colors. insects also become busy. bees and other flying animals always fly around people. therefore, it is normal for people and insects crash together, which means people have to walk very carefully. also, squarrail, the most frequently showing animals, have become more busy and always hanging around people.

may 25th,2011 final exam is about to come. time becomes tight and busy. there are a lot of students in the library. to welcome the three days holiday, many students start to do home work and prepare for the class in order to have a good rest on memorial day. i am not sure what memorial day means and do not know the history about it. but i think after nest Monday, i will know whatever i want to know. also, tomorrow will be one of my friends Kelly 's birthday. we will celebrate it together. my roommate will play a song for her and at the same time we will sing for her. this song is one of famous chinese song and it is called" molihua" which means "jasmine".

may 28th, 2011 i have heard many friends said that they will go back to china this summer vacation. they really miss home. what they really missed about is not only the food that made in the hometown, but also their parents and friends. since i will stay here for the whole summer quarter, i may not able to taste the hometow food and meet my family and friends. the most lucky thing is that i ca still see my parents from msn software, which is a comunication tools on the internet. i may see and talk to them through the acreem. i think i havem got so lucky to born in such time period.
