Coming Spring Break

The spring break is coming soon. But there are a lot of exams before that. I am a little worried about the exams because I have not been prepared yet. After the exams, I am going to New York and Boston for spring break. I had bought the tickets for Ladygaga's concert which would be held in Boston. I also have a lot of things to shop for my parents and friends in New York. Hope everything will be fine next week.

Transfer

I am planning to transfer to another university for next semester. There are a lot of stuff I need to deal with. Something are easy to be done. But also troubles come. So I was a little pissed off with the obstacles. I think I will not be completely relieved until all the things have been done. I know that difficulties always accompany with success. Thus I will try to be relax.

GG

Gossip girl is a popular TV show. I like it very much. Especially Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf! I think they are perfect match! So I was really sad when they broke up. And I heard that Blair would be with Dan! That's a bad news for me. T^T I hope that the news would not come true! Last time, when Blair was heart broken of Chuck. Dorota said this to her which I was impressed, "Love is like head wound. It make you dizzy, you think you die...but you recover...Usually."

Valentine's Day with my friends

On this Valentine's Day, I celebrated with my ten friends. Although I am single, I had a lot fun with them, lol. One of my friends made chocolate by herself. It was a little red heart with some words on it. She gave each of us one for Valentine's present. We had dinner in Red Lobster. When we got there, a lot of people were in line. We waited for one hour and a half. But we were not mad, we chatted happily while waiting. That was my first time having dinner there. The food was pretty good and not too expensive. I was really comfortable to spend Valentine's Day with my friends.

Valentine's Day

February 14th is the Valentine's Day. In China we also has Valentine's Day called Qixi Festival. There is a beautiful fairy tale of it. Once upon a time, there was a poor kind guy has nothing but a bull. No one wanted to marry him. One day the bull told him a secret. Nearby there was a lake where seven beautiful fairies often take shower there. He asked him to steal one of the fairy's cloth when she was bathing, so that she must be his wife if she wanted to get her magic cloth back. Finally he did it and the fairy felt in love with him as well. However, fairy was not permit to marry human. Thus the Goodness was pissed off and separated them. They were poisoned on two planet which was far away from each other. Only on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month on the Chinese calendar, a huge amount of magpies would gather together to be a bridge so that the couple could be together. That's the origin of Chinese Valentine's Day.

Bad score

Last week, I took an exam of HSC. The score was so terrible that I could not even believe my eyes. This is the worst mark that I had got. I did prepared before the exam. Thus I did not expect that the result would be so horrible. What is more, I am planning to transfer to another university in Boston. Expect the grades that I got before, the mid-term points would also be considered. That's why I am so worried about the score. I am considering whether to withdraw or not this class.

The Special Meaning in Dumpling

In my hometown, where is located in South of China, people eat Tang Yuan(sweet dumplings) on Spring Festival. It means reunion. However, in North of China, people prefer to eat dumplings. What's more, they like to put a coin in one of the dumplings. If you got the one with coin, then you would be the lucky guy in the new year! I did not know that until some of my northern friends told me. They also taught how to make dumplings. We mad not only the dumpling wrapper but also the meat stuffing with our own hands. It was a little hard to make the wrapper and mix the meat. So my task was to fill meat in the wrapper. I had a lot of fun of making dumplings. Thanks to my friends!

The Spring Festival Gala

This Friday, almost all Chinese students gathered together to celebrate our Chinese Spring Festival. It was held by both Ball State university students and the church. They prepared a lot of excellent programs, such as singing, games and drama. The drama was my most favorite one. The story was rewritten from Cinderella. However, the sex of the main roles were exchanged. The main character was not Cinderella, the girl anymore, he was changed to a boy, the poor prince, who was bullied by his brothers and step-father. So the drama narrated the story of how the prince finally got his girl. The drama was attractive owing to its creativity. It was really funny to see how poor the boy was.
