The Fast Food 4/5/2011 When I first came to America, I found a lot of different and interesting things, such as American eat lots of fast food which I think that they are not good for people health. American fast food become more and more popular in today, even it already spread through most countries in this world. I remember that when I arrived Ohio University, my first lunch is Pizza Hot even though it was not as delicious as I thought. During a long time for eating fast food, my weight begin to increase. I was very worried about it. However, sometimes, I have to say the fast food is a good and quick way to save time. People usually spend a lot of time for cooking some traditional food, such as Chinese people usually spend 50 minutes to cook their favorites food, dumpling. On the other hand, make the fast food usually spend 5 minutes because the materials are always bread or vegetables which are easy to prepare. Nowadays, because of fast life temp, people pay attation to do well on their work instead of working on cooking. As a result, in order to save more time to work, people choose and create the fast food. Even though fast food which are created by busy people, it is not healthy. We need to reduce to eat so many fast food as we eaten. How about just try one more time to cook by ourselves. I am going to cook Chinese noodles now!

Wed 4/6/11 This quarter, I am asked to sign up a psychology experiment in order to finish at least four academic assignments. In the morning, I go with my friend to Porter Hall to participate this task. This task is asking college students to answer some questions about how they arrange their college time and which is the most important among partner, friends, and academics. In fact, I think they are all important, but the partner and academics are more important than friends in some cases. I think the reasons why I prefer to choose academics and partner are jobs and families are important than friends. People's boyfriends or girlfriends can become a family member in the future, and your academical degree can be a best tool to help people find a good job and earn money. However, it does not mean friends are not important. People need friends all the time. After finishing the task, I get my result and find my personal problem. My boy friend is very happy with me, and I can get a good grade from academics, but my friends are unhappy with me. I think it is true because I spend almost time on studying and with my boyfriend. I usually play with friends once per week. I think that is a problem, and I need to improve how deal with my friends and spend more time with my friends in the future.

Thu 4/7/11 I am so busy and tried in this week. I have two exams on Friday which are music and psychology. I also have difficulty homework for Accounting. Yesterday, I finished my ACCT homework until 3am. I must take care of many tiny things if I want to do it right in one time. Moreover, today I need to prepare two courses for taking exams. Tomorrow, I also very busy, besides quizzes, I need to participate another psychology experiment research. Even though, I have to spend more time on studying, it make me feel enrich on free time. In fact, before I came to Ohio University, I often do not want take so much time to study. However, when I go to the college, I find that studying is also an interesting thing and you can get pay off from which you work hard on. Right now, I need to keep on review. I hope I can get a good grade on both exams.

Friday 4/8/11 Finally, I have finished two exams! I feel very relax and happy now. I want to play computer games now and cook some food for myself! In fact, though studying these days' knowledge, I think the best way to learn knowledge is reading books. Many people believe that knowledge gained from experiences is better than books, but I don't think so. Experiences are important. However, most people gain knowledge from books because not all of people can undergo everything they want to learn from. Reading books can help people know everything, even people can not necessarily experience. People also can know something in the future and in the past from books. On the other hands, experiences can let me know more details and understand more easily. As a result, we should know that both books and experiences are important to us.

Monday 4/11/11 Today, I am happy because I get my music scores which is not bad. I also take another PSY assignment in Porter Hall. This research is talking about how worry about your looks and weight. In my view, whether fat or not, it can not be determined a good person or bad. Some people over worry about their body. When they eat full, they will think it can increase their weight and make them unhappy. Moreover, when they take bus, they even think they take a large space in public. I think it should be a problem and people should fix it. I think health is the most important things in my life. People who over care about how they look like and how fat usually can cause some emotional problems. If people want to lose their weight, they should do some exercises, not just eat a little food. I have a friend who is a thin girl, but she still does not think her weight is well, she only eat lunch per day. In China, there are a lot of girls want to loose their weight every time, and they buy a lot of production help them to achieve their goals. According to some newspaper, I know these products are not good for our health, so people do not only think weight, but also think about our health.

Tuesday 4/12/11 Every day every people spend at least one dollar, even he does not buy anything because he has to eat somethings which are also paid by our money. I also think it is the best way to spend money you earn than to save them. As we know, almost rich men do not save money, but use money to solve problems or open another operating in order to earn more money in the future. As a result, people who want to become rich do not just save money, and the best way is spending money. In addition, money can be used in many different ways, such as rebuilt historical buildings or invest educational systems. Money also can help people achieve their dreams, enjoy their life, and help family offer a better quality studying. However, some people do not think money is good for us, especially, for children. Today, parents always give much money as they can to their children, so many children think earning money is very easy and they waste money sometimes. They buy expensive cars, games, and clothes, so they usually forget their major is studying. In conclusion, money is necessary for life, and it also should be spent in right way.

Thu 4/14/11 I found Accouting is little difficult. I spend at least 3 hours to finish one big problem. However, our homework usually have 8 problems once. Every tuesday and thursday I have to go to ACCT 101. After that class, I will begin to finish homework because they are so difficult and complicated. If you just make a little mistake, you will be fail and re-do all the steps in order to be correct. As a result, my suggestion is that if you take ACCT 101, the best way to study is a group studying. Group studying has many advantages. For example, you can learn from others' new ideas and find mistakes from yourself. Also, group studying is a way to save time when you want to fight out a difficult problems. In contrast, some students perfer to study alone in dorms or library. They think study a lone can be more effective. In my personal view, I suggest students who want to take ACCT 101 choose to group studying.

Friday 4/15/11 I am a little afraid about following week becase it seems exam week. I will take three exams! However, I am think why students or university use grading system to evaluate students' studying. Some students and universities think grades can encourage people's enterprise, however, some grades can hurt students' interesting and confident to make them nevours. In fact, I believe that grades encourage students' movetative. Also, it act as a pay off of students' hardwork or lack of hard work. Students who work hard usually can get a better grade and that is the most fair way to evaluate them. Moreover, grades are the effectivity way to show other people what the students' level and to what depth they study. Grades are given in five differnet levels which are A,B,C,D,and F. These are not simple letters, and also a direct way to see. Furthermore, when stduents finish their studying and find jobs, their grade will be helpful. As a result, stdents should work hard.....

Mon 4/18/2011 Today I take two exams which are psy101 and Mus120. For Mus 120, I suggest people should do lots of worksheets before taking quiz because professor of Mus 120 who is very nice post worksheet on the blackboard. The worksheet always have 100 questions, and he will directly take 50 questions from that sheet. I always down load and do exercises in order to get 100. For the Psy 101, I think people should read carefully book before taking task. It's a little hard for freshman, especially, for international students. I also take a research which about how people pay attation.

Tues 4/19/2011 After this spring quarter, finally I can live off campus! Even though living on campus has many advantage, I perfer to live off campus. Living off campus costs little money than living on campus. I have already choosen River Eage which are write hosing in 10 walking distances. Living off campus, I can make more friends and take parties. Now, I am thinking should I take summer courses or not. Summer section are shorter than others but I will very busy if I take. If I wouldn't take classes in summer, I can find a job or drive a car to travel another famous place. In fact, keeping studying for a long time is not a good thing either, so I wish I can go with my friends to travel. During this spring break, I had been to Orlando. It's gave me an unforgetable memories! I love Orlando. There are many shopping malls and parks.I bought a lot of clothes and gifes for myself and my parents. I miss Orlando!

F 4/21/2011 Today we do not have OP class, so after 5 I go to the super market to buy some vegetables. I finished all exams in this week, so I want to relax in this weekend. First, I want to clearn my house. Because I need to prepare exams, I do not have enough time to clean my clothes and dishes. Secondly, I want to see a movie with my friends in Athens. The last, I plan to go to Columbus tomorrow fof shopping. I want to buy some socmetics for my mother and buy a purse for my father. However, I want to play a computer game right now. I found a very interesting game on internet which it is called QQyinsu. There also are many foreginal students who play it and I can speak with them in English.

Sun 4/24 Money is very important for our life. Even though money cannot buy happiness, it can buy a lot of things. In some causes, money can buy other things to let people feel happiness, such as woman feel happiness when they use money to get many beautiful clothes or many rich men can marry with a beautiful girl to get happiness. If people do not have money, there are many difficulit things in their life. They need find a job to get money to go to school. On the other hand, if people have money, they may have chances to go a better school or travel. In addition, I find that most happy people are richer than others. However, I think that money is not our whole life. I wish i can find a job to earn some money and experience.

Mon 4/25/2011 Today after I finish my homework, I gegin to watch a movie with my friend in my dorm. The movie was named: Hachiko, a dog's story. Hach is a honest dog because it waited its owner ten years until it dead. I was touched, and acter told us a turth at the end: be honest ot the person who you love! I love this movie because it was a ture story which happened in Japan. Therefore, my friend and I believed there is a ture love in this world when we finished watching this touch movie. I also learned how important of friendly relationship between frineds. In last weekend, my roomate took a brithday party for herself and invited me. I was so happy last day.

Tues 4/26/11 Most woman like beauty more than anything, don't they? In China, all grils like thin body, and they want to lose weight every time and every where. They go to the gym or the beauty shop to lose their weight. I knew a girl who studied in Ohio University always want to lose weight even thoght she is already thinner thant many Chinese girls. She is my firend and we first meet was in airport. and then we wnet together to our university. We lived in the same room, and played together all the time. She always opened her computer to search some informations which are about how to lose weight quickly. She got a lot of these informations, however, these informations never be used by her. She ate as many as she can, and then she quickly regrected. As a result, her mood wasn't very well in most time that I saw. When her mood turned badly, she will eat more food. Few time later, she become so fat that she wanted to sleep all the time. In my view, if you said something, you should do it, and also losing weight isn't a difficult thing.

Thur 4/28/11 One of the most useful inventions in 20th century is the computer. When computers became more and more popular in our daitly life, and computer games have been coming into our modern life. Almost three of four children play computer games in their home, and they think playing computer games have many postive sides. However, some parents don't understand why their children like playing computer games so much. In additon, they also think playing computer games can influence their children's scores and their time. On the other hand, I believe that playing computer games can make our life more colorful. In the past, if people wanted to relax when they finished one day of working, they might read some novels or newspaper. In contrast, today, people want to relax and they can though computer games. There are a lots of computer games that include on line games and mini games. As a result, people can play many different games to extend their life.

Fri 4/29/11 Finally, it is friday! I take two exams today, and both them are okay. I miss my home and my mother and father now` I have already spent 5 months in Athens. I really want to go back to my hometown to eat some delicious food, such as Meiweiju, barbecue, and Doufu. Because of large region, different provioces' people have different a person's taste. My hometown is Shanxi, and the most famous food is noodle. We have cool noodle and hot noodle. Moreover, hot noodle also has a lot of different kinds. One of my favourtive noodle is Daoxiao Noodle. If anyone want to taste noodle, you can call me or come to my hometown.

Week 6 Tuesday 5/3 Today I am tried. The ACCT 101 is so difficulit to study well. It not only requires many match skills, but also need some finance skills. There also a lot of homework to do, so I usually do them on the weekend because there are more free time. For the summer section, I would not want to take any class, and I want to travel. Since I came to America, I only travelled Orlando which were very unforgetable experiences. My parents also want to come to America to travel some famous places with me. I like to take photoes during travelling, but my boyfriend dislike it. I think taking photoes can keep our wonderful memory, and when we are old, we can see these photoes seems like going back this place again. Therefore, I like taking picutures.

Wed 5/4 It's very cold today. I have to wear more clothes. I heard about my friend's story which really happened on himslef. He has a girl friend, and they are together in 5 years. last friday, he told me his girl friend has been married with her classmate. I ask the reason, and he told me because that man has more money than he has. I feel very sad when I get know the reason. I think there are many Chinese girl like money more than their friends, even their lover. Every one has their rights to get happiness, but please do not follow money to do everything. If you want to have money, you can earn by yourself.

Friday 5/6 This afternoon, I finish my last class and go to picnic with my friends. Firstly, we go to Kroger to buy beef, shrimp, and vagetable oil. Also, we buy some tools, like brush. Secondly, we drive two cars to the lake. The sunset over the lake is very beautiful, so I take many photoes. The boys are cooking the meal, and the girls are talking and eatting. I think the beef is the best. I think picnic is very fun and it is also a good chance to make friends. May be next time, we still want to go to that lake to picnic because it has a lot of fun.

Sat 5/7 This weekend, I am very busy because I got a lot of homework to do, and also I need to perpare two exams in next week. I need to finish two to three pages essay, and finished the ACCT 101 homework which spent me at least 5 hours. It's very difficult and hard to do. For the MUS 100, I have to check every word which I donot understand and remember the answers. The teacher give us 100 question and the answers, and we need to remember and know every question in order to do 50 questions in exams. I wish this quarter would pass a little quickly because the summer I can have a break! haha

Week 7 Tues 5/10 Today is very hot, and I think the summer is coming. I love summer than winter because my body cannot be stay in too cold weather for a long time. However, I can stay a long time in hot weather. One of the problems I meet in summer is skin problem. As Asian women, we always want to make our face more withing, so we don't like sun lights. I just like flowers and doing some swimming.

Thursday 5/12 I am excited now! I will take ACCT exam after this class. There are a lot of difficult problems I need work on. I think I cannot get a good gread at the end. Freeland who is my ACCT101 teacher, is a very humouist woman. I remember that she said in calss, " If I see you using cellphones, Oh my god! Zero.~!" hahaha I think that was very funny! I love her teaching style which is clear and quick.

Friday 5/13 Today, I am very tired because this week I keep working on two exams. I am too tried, and this day is finally coming! After this class, I want to have a good rest. I wish going to Columbus for shopping. I know all girls love shopping, and do am I. I usually ask myshelf why you want to buy so many clothes and some clothes you even just wear once. I think this is a kind of wasting money. However, my clothes are not expensive. Therefore, using the same money to buy more clothes is my goal! haha

Sunday 5/15 This weekend I learned is doing anything should focus on its practical. Truth is the most useful thing in the world, but if the truth lose the practices, the truth is nothing. This weekend, my friend took me to dearler for buying a Honda car. Before we went to there, I had wanted a Honda accord sedan. However, when we arrived there, I saw a CRV is very beautiful. Therefore, I tried to drive CRV first. In addition, CRV has more spave for putting somethings. If we move into another house, the car is more useful than Honad accord sedan. From this thing, I knew that everyghing should be done then you can know which one is more better.

Week 8 Thurs 5/19 Every time when students can choose courses in following quarter, students will be busy because they need to plan which course should be taken first and which professors they need to choose. For the summer, I do not take any class while I also need to choose my fall quarter courses. Also, I met a problem when I resighter courese. Because my major need to take 263A, however, I have took 163 frist. Therefore, I can not register 263A. I need to slove this problem as soon as prossible. I also want to took another threes courses which I donot decide yeilt.

Friday 5/20 Today I understant how important the sleep is. Because in two days, I just sleept 5 hours total. I am very tried today. I still have two exams need to take. When I finish my frist exam, I totally tried to do anythings, even I still need to prepare my second exam. I think I should change my sleeping time, and I need to go bed early. I heard that people should go to bed before 11. It will be good for our health. Because of lack of sleeping, I can not concertate in class and take notes, and also I have headack. People need to take care of their health, so I suggest that students should go to bed early.

Sat 5/21 Today, I am so happy because I found my best frined on the internet. She is called XueQiuxia. She is my high school classmates and she got in college at Shenyang. We have already three years no contect with each other. She found me at Renren.com which is a webside. We talk with each other about 2 hours. She changes a lot. She cuts her hair and wear a glass. We are so happy that we can find each other. She tell me that she will go home to see me when I have a winter break. I love my friend!

Sunday 5/22 Today, I cook some Chinese food for myself. Because this week I do not need to prepare exams, I have a lot of time to do some favourtive things for my friend. I also watch a movie in Athens. I could see that this weekend is very wonderful because I found my best friend and spend a wonderful time with my friends. I love my friends and I also miss them. I hope they can have a good time in China too. This year, I plan to go back China to meet them in Beijing. We can go shopping and eating Chinese food. I wish the winter break can be came more quickly!

WEEK 9 Tues 5/24 Today I did a horrible dream. I dream that I can fly and live an empty room. There is a gost who want to kill me and my friends. Dreaming is a very intersting thing, sometimes they are very wonderful, but they are not very realism. Dream is a picture which stay in our brian in day time. some people like dreaming because they think always dreaming is a health way to relax their body. However, if people everytime they dream when they fall in sleeping, in my personal view, it will not be a good thing ethier.

Weds 5/25 Teachers are defined as people tell children some knowledge. Moreover, many people agree that parents are the best teacher for their kids. They think that parents live with children every time and in inderict way to infulence them. In addition, parents are the people who best know we are, so they can give some useful suggestion to us. However, I think that parents are not the best teacher for their children. There are three reasons which are not all parents are good teacher, not all good teachers are their parents, and some parents give their children some negative influences.

Thurs 5/26 I find that TV is a necessary good in our life. However, many people think that it offer many bad behaviors to young people because there are lots of violence and unhealth on TV. However, I do not agree that TV offers negative influences to people. Nowadays, people can through watching TV to commucate with their friends and families. Secondly, TV can bring a lot of new information to us even we stay in home. We can know what happened in other country just through wathching it. I love watching TV because it make me happy!

Friday 5/27 Today, I suddently think that what I can do for my hometown or what I can change for my hometown. well, I think I would change the environment first. Because changing the environment can make people more healthly, make our economy develop more rapidly, and make our country more beautiful. People can breathe more clear air will make the number of dead people decrease. Moreover, good environment can bring more visitors to our country in order to develop the thrid economy. Therefore, I would choose to change our environment.
