//**Week 2**// //**Daily Journal 1**// Today is April the 5th, 2011. Nothing special happened, just take classes on my regular schedule. What I found interesting is that the new chapter professor taught us today in my psy 101 class. He taught us about the process of sleeping, people all have five different sleeping stages which are sleep stage one, two, three, four and REM stage. In different stages people would have different heart beats and breath. The REM stage is the stage for people dream during sleeping, in this stage people 's eye ball would move fast to catch the dream they are having, and the stage would not last for a long time, only about ten minutes every time.

It open its eyes widely, and stared at us, then used its claw to scratch the window, looked like that it tried to play with us. After that no more special things happened, we just brought some fruit and food. When we came back, we found the trees besides the street are blooming right now. Although the weather is still cold, blooming is the symbol of the coming of spring.

Today is April the 15th, 2011.Today is Friday, For the cancel of my psychology class and geography class, I only have to attend one OPIE class today, which means I have a lot of free time**//.//** I got up 11a.m. this morning, and started play the new game crysis2 I download from Chinese website. It's a new game, and it's still on sale in American GameStop and Walmart for about 59.99 dollar. For the violent gameplay inside this game, this game can never be sold in China, some people would hack the game, and upload the game on the web for people to download. In China, we don't have relevant laws to ban these kinds of illegal behaviors, so we are used to use this way to get free game.

Today is April the 16th, 2011. It's weekend again, still nothing to do, but lots of homework. For the next week, I will have my first geography exam, this class is pretty easy for me. For many basic class I learned in the university, I had already learned in my Chinese high school. For example, the math 163A I learned last quarter is very basic for me, so it is easy for me to take that class's quizzes and exams. For some other classes, like accounting 101, and psy 101, those are not that easy for me.

Today is April the 18th. I have not gone to bed until 6 a.m. in the moring, For doing my unfished accounting 101 homework. This class really drives me crazy. Every week's Monday & Wednesday I need to take a two hour's class during two p.m. to four p.m. which in my most sleep time. After the class, I have then do huge amount of homework, which takes me at least quarter of a whole day. The worst part of the accounting class for me is the complex calculating; Sometimes, if you only get a single number wrong, you will destroy the whole thing, and recalculate the problem. I'm really tired right now. Wish I can get a good grade for Accounting 101 for my hard-working.

Today is April the 20th, and today is Wednesday, and it seems that I need to work hard again. Tomorrow I have two important exams to take, one is Geography 101 and the other one is Accounting 101. For me I think Geography is easier than Accounting, Accounting has too much calculation, but for Geography you just simply need to remember some definitions of some phenomena, and know how to solve these kind of problems.For Accounting, thought I wok hard on it, and did all the homework on time, I still have no confident on it. Please, let me get over tomorrow without any big mistakes.

Today is April the 21th. Finally, my exams day is over. Before these two tests, I felt anxious, and don't know weather I can do well in the teats, although I review the knowledge I have learned for these two courses.When I sat in the classroom, these kind of feeling suddenly disappear. The first one, Geography exam was almost under my control, but Accounting exam was i the opposite way. I did first problem for an hour, and only found out that I did a wrong answer, then I became nervous, thought I cannot do the rest part of the test, at last I fished the Accounting in a rush.

Today is April the 24th. After a weekend's rest, I recovered from this week's tired. The Easter was over this weekend, but I don't know much about this American holiday, and felt nothing about the special meaning of this day. My Geography grade was out, and I didn't get the grade I had expected. The reason why i didn't get a good grade may be I didn't understand some parts of the knowledge which means I need to prepare the test for a longer time next time. At least, it is all over for a while.

//**Daily Journal 4**// Today is May the 1st. I went to the DVD sold parts of Walmart, and found something interesting. In America, people can tell whether some films are good enought for them or not, only by the films’ ratings rated by the government. In the supermarket or DVD store, if you want to buy or rent a restricted DVD, cashier will also ask you for your ID. However, . In China, these are no specific rating system for movies; everyone can go to the video shops to buy whatever they want to see.

Today is May the 5th. I start biding goods at ebay.com Today, I want to buy some second-hand video games, for the high price of the new games. I found there are many games are in really low price at first, like .99 cent or somthing less than that. I started biding for one game, and go to do other things, then after the ending time, only find out I was overbided by other people, and the selling price is not that low than I had ecpected.
