The First Three Weeks in NAIT

I have been studying in NAIT for three weeks. We have to finish two or three chapters every class and the courses are tough. However, the good thing is that we only have classes three times a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I can still watch the movies on Tuesday and Thursday. We are studying two courses now and they are Business Math and Foundational Accounting. We have already had three tests now, two math tests and one midterm accounting test, and I did pretty well.

I have to go school every day from February 17th to June 30th, and the courses will be getting more difficult. I believe that I can handle it and I will work hard to get good grades.

Bye the long TV Shows

During the holidays, I watched a lot of long TV Shows. There are more 50 eposides in each TV show. I am going to study in NAIT tomorrow. I have to say goodbye to all of long TV Shows and see them in summer holiday.

Getting back to school

Today is the first day getting back to school after Christmas break.

I helped my daughter to bring textbooks and instruments to school at the early morning. Then, I slept for one hour after I came back to home. I made a phone call to one of my friends who is living in Winnipeg.

After lunch, I went to school. Before the group meeting with Susan and Colin, I read the paper of the pronunciation. Our group members also discussed about our final project and the presentation. Late afternoon, I went to the Chinese Library to pick the volunteer sheet.

Then, I came back to home and cooked dinner for my family. After dinner, I did some group work and watched an episode of a Chinese TV show with my daughter.

I felt that getting back to school is good. When you stay home for a long time, you are bored; when you work for a long time, you are exhausted.

My Holiday

Two week's holidays are over and we will go back to school tomorrow. The following is what I did during the holidays.

Most of the time, I was watching the TV show "Veronica Mars" and "Ugly Betty". Actually, I don't like "Veronica Mars" very much, but when I started it, I wanted to finish it. I like "Ugly Betty" more because it is about how a ugly, poor and immigrated girl achieved her dream.

In addition, I visited a few friends to celebrate holiday together; I went Shopping; I did our project with our group partners; I went to see the Bright Nights; I did puzzles with my daughter, etc.

I cooked and ate a lot. I felt like I put on more weight. On the last day of the holidays, I wanted to lose my weight, so I decided to make it "the apple day". That means I can only eat apples on that day. However, it was very hard for me. When my husband and my daughter sat down to eat their lunch, and when I saw the delicious food, I gave up and ate other food. It is easy to get heavier, but it is hard to take the pounds I gained away.
