18. A True Friend

I have a very good friend and his name is Qin Cheng. We met each other in our junior school for the first time. We were not so familiar with each other in the first few days. But after we did a group work, we started finding each other interested and always invited other to play together. But playing can not make a true friend to you, what is more important is that whether they treat each other like a family member and glide to give a hand to this guy. As the time going on, we went in different high school and so on we kept in touch with each other. Every weekend or holiday we would think of each other and do something together. The most important point is that we talked with each other about our secrets and bad feelings and gave suggestions to the study and life. With these things we did together, our friendship also built stronger and stronger. That is why we treat each other as a true friends who you can get help from and release your bad emotions to. I think this friendship will never broken in the future and can be our whole life treasures.

17. How to Save My Weekend

I have to say until now I still can not take good use of my weekend. Although I have tried to study but playing and having rest will always being included in and make it hard to concentrate on the textbook.

           Another thing is to go outside. But most of the time I was asked to go to supermarket or Mall of America. The result is that I took almost the most precious time to watch large amount of goods that I am totally uninterested.

          These two things covered the most of my weekends in the past two months which made me really confused. As a foreign student we should spend more time on study even in the weekend. But what did by me and my friend made us far away from this main aim.

           But a friend of mine encouraged me the day before yesterday. She is good at study and very kindhearted girl. She told me she found a lot of part-time jobs. By doing this, she not only can earn some money but also learn to schedule and use time more efficiently. This is good solution for us to take good use of the weekend and we can benefit from doing that. How fabulous it is !

           Although I have not find a part time job until now. But I'm sure I will get one soon and make my weekend become a meaningful time.

16. The end of the world

I never thought this before but I can make sure that before the end of the world most of us would try to realize our dreams.
I have a dream to travel around the world but it will be hard to perform at that time because all the pilots will try to do their own things instead. Another important thing is to get together with my family. We will get together to spend the last time of our lives of with the world. I think some of them will be upset and even feel scared about this truth, after that it is only calm which will make them try to enjoy it with the whole family. To me I will feel upset and become a little weak but not afeard. I will be upset about many things I haven't done before which is such a pity. I will feel weak just because finding out how fragile human beings are.
One more thing I think it may be impossible that if we human can work together to try to delay the end of the world. Even I am a just a normal person working in a company I can do some calculation for scientist to solve this big catastrophe. I think also something is stable that you can not change it but if there is a hope we need have a try.

15. Halloween

I could never imagine how halloween can be in west country until I saw it by myself this weekend. It was a interesting festival in which everyone enjoyed themselves in this greet moment. At the night of friday I went out with my friends to take part in a halloween party in coffeman. On the contrary of the nights in formal days many people walked outside with different kinds of strange cloths on them. As they passed us, they will perform as the character of their cloths which was so funny. Although we only wore common suits the party offered a lot of decorations like mask, glasses with bogus nose and so on. With these little things we got in the condition quickly and even started dancing with others. It was really a fantastic night.

            Another thing which made this festival enjoyable is the "thick or treat"culture. And I felt this in the Mall of America. Last sunday I went to mall because there would be some activities there. As I walked in mall in the front of every shops you can see some one holding a package of candy and every child came to mall that day will hold a little bag to ask for candy. I haven't seen so many children in America before. What's more, they all in different looks from iron man to spiderman. Looking at the happiness showed on their face you also want to be one of them and enjoyed this great time.

13. A Rare Visit

It is really a true that the chance for our normal human seeing a people who plays a important part in today's society is extremely rare. But it just happened to us students who study in University of Minnesota in last Sunday.

I even haven't seen the president in my own country but as the chance comes to me I'm sure to catch it. In the morning of about 9 o'clock several I and a friend of mine started our trip. Although we thought we might be the first few people to get there and see president Obama face to face, but the truth told us more people got up earlier that day and was more enthusiastic to see the president of the strongest country in world today.

Waiting inline was a boring thing for most of us but it should be. We tried to make ourselves patient enough and until about 2 PM we got in the stadium which Obama will give his lecture. Only listening to the first few people's lecture you can not only learn the style's different between America and China but also feel the how high they will be when got involved in a fair.

Although president came a little late than I thought his performance and words are really moveable that had a power to encouraged others. I think this is a good experience in my study life here

12. Spring Outing

I can never forget my first spring outing in primary school. It is so interesting that until now it always comes to my mind.
As a young child most of us did not know the meaning of spring outing. But after being told to prepare the lunch and anything funny with you the whole class became excited about this different activities we have never taken before.
I don't know why the spring in the childhood was full of interest which is totally different from the spring now. As you grow up spring is not as beautiful as before; the blooming flowers are no more attractive than it in the memory. Your steps become so fast to fight for live so that the only thing you leave for the splendid spring scenery is a glance.
But at that time when we saw the planet covered with green and different kinds of flowers we could not control the excitement in our mind. Facing the blowing warm wind, we separate in group to hug the spring.
I still remember the feeling of ling on the grass and smiling the fresh air. It was fabulous!  You can not only enjoyed the delicious food but also played games with your friends and this is the way we enjoyed ourselves in that spring day.
Although I will never had such kind of feeling any more, but it will be a treasure which keep in my whole life time.

11. It Is Never Too Late

Haven't writen blog for a little long time. I can not describe the feeling to set my mind start doing it. But what is true is that I should not regardless of its importance in my homework and my score. I recognized my bad performance since a confused week because of the illness and my disordered life I started to delay them and finally gave up finishing them. I have never thought I would do this before but it really happened and I have to face them. I tried to get out of the routine but in that few days those efforts did not affect me. One day, a friend of mine heard my experience and suggest me to catch up wih others by start with the next day. Changing is just a little step as you take this little step the road will be expand for you. It gave me confidence to get out of this barrier. Altough the next day I still get up late but I when I came into the classroom Bethany just showed me a smell which make me release and get into the class quikly.
I'm improving myself that's why I write this blog I will keep this condition and finally overcome all the difficulties behind me.

5. Cooking

Until now we have been here for 3 weeks which means a quarter of our whole journey, but my things is still fire-new to us one of which is cooking.

At first most of our stomachs were filled with many kinds of fast food like Burger King, Arbey's and so on which we have never seen before but is really tasty and fresh to our Chinese. Many of us even found that every restaurant's fries can be as appetizing as mcdonald's same product or even better. Even though, we are born in a different culture which has lots of difference included food of course. So that's why we can not rely on fast food all day and determine to cook a Chinese dinner for ourselves to get the feeling of hometown back.

This weekend we confidently started a process of cooking with materials buying from a Chinese supermarket. But for the first dish we became confused  because of none of us have done this before which made me start to find how weak we are leaving our parents and set my mind to improve myself to be a man who can make his living. Although we are not good at cooking but we are not stupid, after comparing many different ways of making that dish on the Internet we finally draw a conclusion to follow one easiest method. What's more, all three dishes we made are all follow this procedure--First ,searching on the Internet; Second, talk to decide which is viable with so little material we have; Third, I cut the vegetable and meet in pieces; At last we put all of them in the pool and waiting for the naissance of our production.

Which is lucky that all of them taste good and give us confident to improve them and do a cooking next time. I think none of us can forget that interesting and challenging dinner.

4. My favorite season

Energetic Spring - my favorite season

I can never forget the spring in my hometown-----it's a time for new life with flourished flowers green built on every leaves that make the land to be a green carpet. Covered by the sun and hearing the singing of the birds you can feel the warmness and beauty which lost in the winter time. When I was young every time spring came, my mother will took me  walking to the seaside an to fly kite. There is nothing else can be more convenient than facing the large sea and feeling the warm wind blow across your face and your body. I run as fast as a little child can to let the kite fly but most time it twisted and fell down which let me  upset but with the encourage of mother and her bovine teaching the kite will always fly high in the sky at last. There are lots of other things I did in spring like having trip with my friends, playing soccer...But this is the most impressive memory that deeply marked in my mind

3. Life with English

       Today I got my English placement text score. The low score 73 reminded me again about my poor English ability that I have already forgotten as I adjusted  myself into here's life smoothly.
       I can also remember the first time I come to this fascinating and beautiful place I'm full of energy but the first thing embarrassed me is on the day I arrive I even can not to let the fast food seller know what I need only in language. It sounds ridiculous but still be a impressive memory in my trip here. But now I can not only order my food clearly but also talk with a American people formally that is really a great improvement to me. All this positive change makes me  ignore some little issues in my daily life like the  lost information of which professor and TA says on the class, large quantities of words I do not know the meaning of them... So that's why I recognized and have such kind of feeling now.
      After serious scanning on my two weeks life I found these two reasons which led to this. First is that  all my roommates are Chinese and most of the time I only used Chinese to communicate with others so that I spend little time on English speaking. Another is that do not accumulate enough English knowledge in my study before that can not make me feet to a English speaking atmosphere very quickly. I can not get solution to these two problems and nothing come to my mind about how to solve them in a flash, But as I say before I am confident about myself not only about the life here but also the ability for adjusting to the new environment so I'm sure I can make it!

2.Confusing

    This is the second week I come to this beautiful city, I have tasted lots of American kinds of food,I also have gone around to see the beautiful and energetic campus, lots of new things and foreign people got into my head which made me hard to remember every thing of them although I checked them before I sleep in the midnight every day.
     But I face a big problem that everyone may has that I can not adjusted to the new kinds of study. First two weeks I made lots of  mistakes about when to have class and which was the due date about the homework. In my own points of view, I think all these issues have a same origin which is the poor ability of my English especially at the reading part. Now I only find little  details  to come over  them,  but I am still confidential about my study life here. Although recent study I still have a lot after class questions to my classmates which even related to the assignment, I'm more familiar with the study system of each class and can have a over view of them. So as a conclusion, I exactly need to get more help from teacher, but  I really determine to over come it by myself because difficulty is also a part of life which we should enjoy it and learn some thing from it instead of having a negative emotion on it.
