情定愛琴海

        Today, my professor returned our exam at the beginning of second hour in International Marketing class. I got my score. It is really bad,  but my professor said that our score, average at 76, is better than those, average at 70, who take the same class last semester. While listened this news, I was laughing in mind. However, I only got 68. This score is D. Oh~gosh. How come I only get this lower score? Right now I also worry about my Macroeconomic exam on Wednesday. Whatever, I am not good at multi-choice question. I am good at essay question. Yet this semester three of my all classes are multi-choice question on exam. So strange, doesn't it? Generally speaking, multi-choice should be easier than essay question, but this situation is true. It is not necessary to tell a lie. Sometimes I would like to drop one of three classes out because I do not want to take multiple choice question. Does anybody could help me?

        Going to another month will be followed by many things, such as spring break and mid-term. In other words, it is a new start again. The temperature is getting warmer day-after-day. At the same time, many assignments are also getting more and more. Both of them keep everything warm. Yesterday, it is a Taiwan holiday. Back to topic, this month, people are going to meet Easter in the United States. It is a big holiday for residence of the US. Everything just starts. On the other hand, everything just finished at the end of last month, February. Today, I still work on writing journal in my blog. Updating journal is going to be fixed assignment for each day, each week, even each month. A lot of things I need to and have to do. At the beginning of March, everthing display again.

        Recently, I have tried to change my blog style. I added some function such as visitor counter and instant news. Although I still do not understand how to change with CSS, I could utilize another approach to switch it as using HTML format. I know how to shift the format with HTML. It is easier. At least I think so. However, I hope I can add more function in my blog because my wish is to make my blog good-looking. I am tired of keeping original style. That's why I hope I may watch new style while entering my own blog. If somebody else, of course, would come, I also try to create a different style to give them a different vision. Sense of vision which change frequently on blog home-page may give people even myself confortable feeling. New day and new things even new beginning are wonderful. It is my feeling so far and at least I will come to my own blog to update my article often. Yet I still look for some functions that I could add to my blog.

        In Macroeconomic class, we always utilize distant education system to connect studnets between Canyon and Amarillo. However, the system died yesterday; therefore, we finished classes almost one hour early. What is the problem for this system? Nobody knew the answer and body could not find the solution. My professor had called assistance, but nobody could solve this problem immediately. As I said before, most of the products and goods made in the US are not perfect even not durable. On the other hand, we earned one hour break time, but also waste money for period of duration. Whatever, it is a wonderful news for students, but it is a horrible news for tuition payers.

        Tonight, my macroeconomic class's professor is not going to be in class. Therefore, he found a substitute teacher for class. I have no idea about which approach the substitute teacher could pick and choose. The same as my professor, or different from my professor. I hope it is the same. Actually, each time we trun in our assignment based on reading aloud our answer which is on our paper. If the substitute teacher wants us to explain why we write the answer, I strongly believe that there are many people who do not know how to explain it. Probably the percentage of the classmates who do not understand is up to 90%. It is a bad thing.

        Yesterday, I had international marketing exam with multi-choice. There are 17 questions that are for sure, but maybe 5~10 of the rest of the 33 questions are 60%~70% for sure and other rest of these questions are less 10%~20% for sure. However, I only can miss 20 points. In other words, I only can miss 10 questions on this exam. I do not know why I have impression about questions (not all, for those which I am not sure), but I did not remember the answer. What happened to me? I know I read it, I, otherwise, could not be possible to have these impression. The average to pass is high. I cannot lower than 80%, or I have to utilize A to cover whichever course I only get C. How many C I get must be covered at A with the same number. I expect, but I am nervous right now.

        This afternoon, I took Finance quiz as leveling course. This time, professor gave us one more opportunity. In other words, we could take twice. At first time, one person took first and then he took second time after he finished taking first time. Both of the two times, he got 90%. Therefore, another one friend and I took in turn in next round. During break time, three of us discussed about the quiz. We discussed where the problem is and tried to get higher score while went into our turn. Discussing for a long time sill confused the problem until other two of us finished taking first time. We figured out where the problem is because both of us only got 80% in first time. When we finished the quiz, other two of us got 100%. We could finally take a break and be ready to greet next assignment and exam next week. How strange afternoon we have.

        Recently, mid-term is coming. Exams come step-by-step. I am trying to study, but I am sleepy as I read my textbook. It is sad and bad, isn't it? I think and guess so. That's why I always take a break at home. Actually, it is not a break. It is a long break. In other word, I do not study at home because I cannot do it at all. Watching TV drama and reading online news is going to be my everyday assignments, excluding class assignments. One-third of this term has already passed and finished. I need to prepare to find a new apartment for next semester. I want to move out from current apartment. I actually expect this movement. However, I afraid I cannot have one that I expect. I do not like current one because it is very expensive for rent, $650 per month. Only water contained. After this term, I will be alone if I am not going to find somewhere to live when my roommate graduate from WTAMU. Although I can afford it to pay all fee, including tuition and rent, I do not want to do that without saving money. I always try to save money every time. That's all for today's journal.

        Another week began. That is, I may start being busy because only this week we didn't have any assignment. Busy day is a damn thing, especially challenge English. I dislike English at all. Actually, I hete it. Each time when I face it, I am sleepy. Think about this situation. I strongly believe that you may be sleepy when you hate something that you meet. Otherwise, I cannot update my music and movie. I don't like this feeling. It makes me sad and blue. These two conditions coincide that will make me vomit. I just think about how to escape from this horrible, terrible, and damn things. However, do they cause me go back to Taiwan in winter? I have no idea. Probably I am going to graduate from WTAMU next summer if I still follow my orginal plan. I want to graduate as soon as possible because I don't wanna stay in this selfish and damn country whose people have serious racial discrimination, but I don't want to take three courses for each term either. What should I do?

        Tonight, I have exam. My professor said that we can bring our reference sheet. I tired of studying because of the reason that I do not know at all. Therefore, I focus on my reference sheet. I shrunk it and finished it couple of minutes ago. However, I am not ready to take this exam because I do not understand how difficult and hard this exam is even though it is multiple choice for all question. It sounds good and great, but it may actually be a killer. Kill my score. Right now, only one thing I could do is to pray. Thanks father for praying. Please forgive me and lead me to pass and succeed in this exam.

        Finally, I can take a break this week because I finish week business. It is not easy to tide over the difficulty for this week. It is tired week. However, the businesses follow by many assignments and some exam, including quiz. I won't forget that library is my another home. I go every day. I stay at library every day. This is college life. Actually, my English still influence my entire life because my English-learning meet block. How do I overcome this problem? I have no idea. That is the reason that I have to go to library to study every day. I afraid of being tired of studying after mid-term. What should I do? I try many methods, but it is still there.

        This morning, it was snowing. The temperature fell down to 27 degree which is the highest temperature at daytime and 15 degree which is the lowest temperature at night. This temperature degree is my favorite degree because it suits me. For this winter, today is the first day to snow. I wait it for months. Therefore, I was so happy to see it while I was watching snow. It does not relate to that I hope to see snow. The relationship is that the temperature decreased and fell. It fell down to my favorite degree. However, it merely happened today and does not continue to next day. On Wednesday, the degree will rise.

        Sometimes I would like to make a story even it is fictitious. But I have no idea about the story. I hope I could try it, but actually I couldn't. Creating an unreal story is not easy. Everybody knows it. Why do I want to create it? I do not know the exact reason. Maybe...I just vent some emotion. It is fun. I also have no idea about starting a story. First step is always difficult.

        Tonight, we have Chinese New Year Party that be held in BSM, abbreviation of the church's name. One thing I do not understand why it is a potlot party. I believe that Taiwanese Schoolmate Association still has enough capital to provide all dishes. However, the president of Taiwanese Schoolmate Association insist on keeping money. They are not willing to utilize. Two years ago, the dishes offered by Taiwanese Schoolmate Association in each party. I have to ask when the policy has changed. They do not know that not many people can cook or make well. When potlot held, many people may go to United Supermarket to buy food to support these parties. Standing at the other side to think about will figure out that there is no difference between potlot and offered food by Taiwanese Schoolmate Association because the dishes are from restaurant. Since this situation happen, why do president not change back to be provided food by association? I am sure that it will be better while holding parties.

        Today, I have macroeconomics class. During class time, I did not pay attention to my professor at second period. Suddenly, I heard my professor called my name and want me to call out my answer in order to let everybody can hear clearly. At that moment, nothing in my brain and I could not hear any voice or sound. This situation is just like a man who loses snese of hearing. And then, I, of course, read my answer. But when I just read half of my entire answer and I was ready to start reading my rest of my whole answer. I heard my professor said, "Here you go." When I heard this dialog, I certainly stop my act because I thought I had already given the correct answer to everyone, including my professor. The result of stopping reading, everyone watched me and may think why I do stop reading. Under this condition, I felt embarrassed. Oh~gosh. I never thought I would do that in class even during the class. Therefore, I thought I must be crazy. Of course, I am always tired in second class time.

        New semester has begun a week ago. A new challenge follows it. New classmate and new courses will be fun and difficult. This term I do not take online class. Therefore, I have three on-campus class Monday through Wednesday. The day I need to get to class is almost the same as last semester. Actually, it is not perfect days to class. It just tends to perfect. No class on Thursday through Friday and on Monday is my final goal to take my classes. If this dream could be come true, I have to take one online class with two on-campus classes. Right now, new term began and I started being busy even though everybody may think that it is just the first week of this semester. Yet actually it is because I have much homework and some quizes from these classes.

        今天入境時，在LAX碰到移民局的，實在是給他XXX，老是問一些重複性又奇奇怪怪的問題，搞得我不知道該怎麼回答，而且超多人排隊的，也不會加快腳步，結果只有一邊排隊一邊罵，因為實在是太不爽了！真的是很氣人，老美怎麼都是一個樣，難道就不能改進一下嗎？

        I did not wirte English journal for months. Right now, it's time to count down. However, when I go back to the United States, the time the classes begin is closer. Originally, I hope I can buy my textbook before I am out of Taiwan. Yet, the wish cannot come true anymore because there is no textbook which I need in Taiwan. At the same time, the range of two time that I come back to Taiwan is very wide. I have no idea about that.

        今天，原本要去小碧潭，結果看不懂他所有免費接駁公車的Information，因此而作罷！隨後轉向淡水，從下車開始，看到一對對的情侶，直到漁人碼頭，都是如此！原來，這是一個不適合一個男生單獨去的地方！最後來到漁人碼頭，坐在二樓觀景台的階梯上，等著夕陽的出現，身旁卻又是一對對的情侶，看了很不是滋味，可又沒辦法，因為漁人碼頭，除了提供藝人開演唱會，就是提供給情侶散步、約會的地方，雖然漁人碼頭也具備了休閒的功能！吃味，成了當時的最佳寫照！

        哇勒，現在是怎樣？突然間覺得在台北市任何一處，都可見到正妹，除了之前在USC（University of Southern California）見到的之外，今天去卡啦OK，那個女店員也不錯，現在是怎樣，就是拼命刺激我就是了！唉～無奈就是無奈！這是一個怎麼也無法改變的事實！老天啊，為什麼要這樣對我呢？
