A Day

Today was a nice day that I off at 12:30p.m. because teachers were having a meeting after 12:30p.m. Even I did not have to take course after that time, I met Kallin to go library for studying and doing homework. Of course, it was no way for us without having a lunch first. Therefore, we quickly finished our lunch and did the thing that we liked the most, studying. I knew it sounded untrustworthy, but that was really what we want to do today. When we got to University of Calgary Library, we first tried to finish our Attending Lecture Project because it was supposed to hand in by next Monday. After finished typing our assignment, we both attempted to fix the others’ work. Neither Kallin nor I thought this was helpful for us to improve our English. Later, we two felt thirsty, so we went to buy some beverage; nonetheless, the beverage selling machines were disappeared. We, consequently, found the closest place to buy drinks. After I went back to the library and observed what the people were doing in the library, I saw most students were busy typing, while some other students were busy playing poker games in their laptops, watching news and chatting. And now, I am typing this blog for my second assignment.

No Fun

May 13, 2007

There was nothing fun at all doing homework alone. Today was the day before Monday. Because I had a group of assignment was still not finished, I had to stay at home and finish them. First, I reviewed what I had learned during this week. I found out that vocabularies were one of the problems that I was facing. Therefore, spent two hours to look up the words and tried to create some sentences by using the words. I hoped that by doing so, it would help me memorize those words. Later, I read what my instructors had told me to read. The reading was not quite long and I understood the meaning that the authors were trying to say. However, I still found something that I could learn from, such as sentence structure.

After I dropped down some sentences and high lighted some mean points from the articles, I moved on doing other homework. I took out the piece of white paper which was about simple tense. Fortunately, there were only a few questions there I had to answer. Consequently, I attempted to get them done as quickly as possible However, when I read the statement from the bottom of the page, it showed that students needed to write a paragraph of an essay based on other classmate’s idea. It was probably a bad news for me because I did not like writing. At that moment, I thought I needed a break, so I could recover my energy in order to keep working. In short, studying at home alone was boring.
