How do I survive through this week?

  This week is our final week, and I have 8 finals. I can hardly breath because the amount of test is so much.
  Tomorrow, I am going to have three tests, and I plan not to sleep tonight. Every time when final exams approach, I feel so anxious and nervous, because I am so afraid to get bad grade.
  The ways for me to feel better is to think about the upcoming summer vacation. In July, I am going to France, and I really look forward to the trip. Another way for me to lighten my pressure is to eat lots of desert. The truth that desert can make people feel happier has been proved by scientist. Finally, the last way, which takes more time to do, is to watch funny animals videos. I often type "funny cats", "funny dogs", "funny parrots" on YouTube, so that I get to watch some ridiculous and curing videos. This is actually the most useful one.
  These are my ways to make myself feel better, what are your ways?

Our Performance

  Every semester, our Flamenco club have a performance at school to show what we have learned from the past few months. this is my second performance, and I performed two songs.
  The theme of our performance was Encontrar, which means "find and meet" in English. The place we choose to perform is really special, it is beside the Qi Xien building. At night, the light there makes it become a wonderful outdoor stage. However, there is a scary flaw. Because the students restaurant is right near to our stage, lots of cockroaches appear at night. When we practice, sometimes the cockroaches dance together with us.
  The performance was on 6/5, and it went very smooth.

Mu Dan Ting

after watching 牡丹亭 in class, i found that leehom was so right.people now have already lost the ability to slow down and appreciate the beauty around you.

even if a master has tried hard to make us understand the elegant love in ancient time, the youths are still not willing to open their hearts and feel the love that is too strong and too romantic to be hindered by time and death.i am so sad after watching the video not really because of the story but because of the reaction of people.

run run run run run, how fast can you run? and do you know how much you have missed? how many chances to love the world you have missed? yes the internet is so convenient, and yes the tests are so important.but do you really remember what is the purpose we come to this world? and what is the truly essential elements in our lives?

live for beauty, live for love. dear, please slow down your step, and please open up your heart.

A Busy End of the Semester

  This is my second semester in Diplomacy, also in the Flamenco club. In this semester, I have at least 5 project to do, and all of them require lots of effort and time. In addition, our Flamenco club is going to have a  big performance on June 7 which requires lots of preparation.
  I was a procrastinator that always done my work at the last minute before the deadline, but in this semester,  I have changed a lot. I set deadline for myself, which is earlier than the deadline set by teacher, and a made myself done the task without any excuse to procrastinate. So although I have an extremely big amount projects to do, I am beating them step by step. From accomplishing all of the missions, I feel really proud because I have changed myself into a person having much more efficiency. As a proverb said by a Chinese philosopher Mong Zi, "When god wants to give someone a great mission, he first makes him really tired." This is the first time that I feel this proverb happening on me.

Reflection on The Ultimate Gift #3

  Last week, we finished the movie, and it is really a good movie because I was not only touched but see many things in it.
  As time goes by, we can see the series of gifts gradually and magically changed Jason Steven from the inside. He had learned that there are many things much more important than just having fun, and, as I perceived from the movie, he realized that love is the origin of happiness.
  The most impressed part for me in the movie is Jason's decision of establishing"Emily's Home". This part is important to me because I can see all of the changes that happened on Jason and his dream. Inspired by Emily, he spent all of the money left by his grandfather to help other people, and he had changed from a boy who wanted to have party every into a man that knew what is the most important thing in life.
  I think that all the "gifts" in the movie are all very easy to be ignored, and they are the things that the author wants us to cherish and be thankful to them.

Reflection on The Ultimate Gift #2

  As the plot moves on, the ultimate gift gradually becomes clear. However, we still don't know what really is "the ultimate gift".
  After following what his grandfather had ordered him to do, Jason got five gifts step by step, which were the gift of work, money, a friend, family, and learning.
  The most impressed part for me was the gift of friend. There was a new character appeared in the movie, and whose name was Emily. When seeing this girl at first, I thought she was a beautiful angel, but I didn't know why the color of her lips were so dark. Later she showed her personality, and I really liked her way of expressing herself, especially in a young age. She decided to help Jason very soon; however, Jason did not see her as a real friend, and he was just using her instead. After knowing that the girl had leukemia, he started to changed his thought.
  The is many people who get disease or are handicapped, most of the time they are looked down on. However, many of them are actually nicer than other people, and they are real angels. So, we should always know how to appreciate people's kindness instead of judging them from outside.

Reflection on The Ultimate Gift

  Last Monday, I watched a movie called Thee Ultimate Gift on the English composition class. The teacher told us that it was a good movie, so I looked forward to it.
  The main character was a young man that inherited his grandfather's heritage. He did not know what was the content, and he hated his grandfather for ruining his life, so he was unwilling to find "the ultimate gift' initially. However, he still went to countryside to find out what his grandfather left him. At first, he can not do any job at the country. He completed the work day after day; however, he gained nothing. Consequently, he was in rage and went back to where he lived originally.
  I have not finish the movie yet, however, I am eager to know what really is the ultimate gift, and what secret   he will find out about his grandfather. I really hope that we can finish the movie tomorrow.
