It is 0:30 a.m. now,but I didn't have any sleepiness. Just now I called my father and I knew that he was in bad mood from his words. But he pretended to be happy because he didn't want me to worry about him. He catched a cold several days ago and got better yesterday after taking days' medicine and injection. Unfortunately, he had a toothache today.The toothache is very painful and terrible.When it comes, he feels very painflul and has to go to have injection to releive the pain. When I called he, he is having injection in hospital. His sound was very deep and I couldn't help to cry when I heard his sound. At that moment I missed my father very much and hoped I was in his side and talked with him . But I was so far from him that I just can bless him will get better soon.
When the Chinese New Year comes, my father and mother go back to our hometown to have the festival with our families .They run a factory in Guangdong which is 10 hours' drive way to my hometown. Every year they drive so long way to go home to celebrate the New Year with our families. It is very hard to drive so long way and there are a lot of work waiting for them to do. So they are very busy in New Year and have a little time to have a rest. After about 10 days,they have to go to work. It originally is to have a holiday with families and have a good rest,but finally they feel very tired. But they insist on going home every year to have the New Year because it is a traditional festival in China and they care about our families. As usual this year, they went home five days before New Year. There are too many affairs for them to do.In my family, my father is responsible everything ,so he is the busiest and the tiredest man. He said he was doing a lot of trivial things these days and haven't had a good sleep until today. He is very tired and he will drive to Guangdong tomorrow. I wish my parent smoothly arrived in Guangdong tomorrow and have a good rest after arriving there, so have a good mood to start work.

Happy New Year

Today is the Chinese New Year. This is the biggest and most important day in China, so all family members spend the holiday together. Because there is 13 hours time difference between China and New York, the Chinese New Year began at 11:oo a.m. yesterday. When it was 11:00,I immediately called my parents and sent my best wishes to them and that they would be blessed with good luck in the new year. Because I wanted to be the first person to give wishes to them.They were very happy and proud that they have such a filial daughter and their daughter is grown up. They also blessed me so I can study well,live well .Last night I called my grandfather and gave my wishes to him.My grandfather's family is very big, and every New Year Day the whole family goes to my gandfather's home to celebrate the big holiday.Every year I was very happy to share the moment with so many family members ,but this year I have to spend it alone.When I called ,my uncles,aunts and cousins were all in my grandfather's home ,so I spoke to every one of them. They were very happy and surprise that I called them and gave them best wishes from the other side of the earth .They all wish for me to study hard ,learn knowledge and skills and go back to china to reunite with them after graduation. I promised them I would study hard and go back home as soon as possible. When I heard their kind sound and good wishes, I felt very happy and warm.
In the previous bogger I wrote that I might cry because of missing my family on New Year 's Day.Surprisely I didn't cry even though I missed them ,because their sincere wishes let me feel so warm .I am very proud that I become more and more strong and wish for myself that everything will be good in the new year.

Wow, it snows eventually. The snow is so heavy and white. When I came to NY, others told that the winter of NY is very cold and it snows on about Christmas Day and the snow is very heavy. My hometown is in the south of China, so it snows rarely in winter. Although it snows, there is just little. When the sun comes, the snow will melt immediately. So when we see the snow, we will feel very excited. Since the winter came, I have expected the snow. It is so strange, it hadn't snowed until the end of 2006 and it has just snowed twice until this morning and every time the snow was very little. I was very disappointed. The weather forecast said it would snow on this Tuesday and Wednesday, when I heard this I was very excited.This morning, when I wake up I went to the window to make sure if it snows. When I raised the window curtain, I was so surprise that the whole world was white and it was snowing. I haven’t seen so heavy snow before. Though I was very happy that I see the snow that I have expected so long time, at the same time, the trouble came. Because the snow is too heavy, there are so much snow accumulated on the road and it is very difficult for the walkers. Today I have three classes, so I went to school at about 12:00am. Unfortunately, when I opened the side door, I couldn’t open it, because it was stuffed by the snow, so I had to walk through the front door .Even terribly, the snow on the road was so deep that I could hardly walk. I walked very carefully and slowly because I was afraid to slip. I went ahead so difficultly in the snow as though I climbed the mountain. It took me almost half an hour to go to school and I was very tired and felt the whole body was very warm. Unfortunately, when I arrived at the classroom, there were few students and the teacher said we would not have class. I was almost crazy. I had walked so far and so hard, but I didn’t need to have the class. So I went to have lunch and went to have another class at 2:30, the teacher also told us that we didn’t have class and the school would close at 2:30pm today due to the bad weather condition. I was so surprise that the whole school didn’t have class because of the bad weather, this case have never happened in China. I had to go home and it was more difficult to walk. When I got home, my feet were almost frozen and I felt very tired.Even I didn’t have class after I walked so far and so difficultly, I am still very happy ,because I saw the snow that I have expected so long time.

A Dinner for Celebrating Chinese New Year

Last Saturday afternoon, I took part in a dinner for celebrating Chinese New Year. It was held by the Chinese restaurant where I do part time job in weekend. The restaurant is near our school and it mainly provides seafood. I have worked here almost five months and my job is heating and frying food for customers which are mainly Guangdong flavors, such as Shaomai, Dumpling, Turnip cake, chive cake ,and so on. The work is very easy and the work time is very short that just from 10am to 3pm,so I enjoy the work very much. The restaurant is a Chinese one, so its employees are all Chinese and the consumers are almost the Chinese .And the employees are very kind and warm-hearted to me, I feel very comfortable and like at home when I work here.Because this Sunday is Chinese New Year Day and it will be a very busy day to the restaurant , so they celebrated it on lastSaturday. We had a dinner together .We were very happy and enjoyed the dinner very much. In the dinner we said “Happy New Year” together and blessed each other. This is the first time that I celebrate our traditional New Year with so many people in the place which is far from my country, and I felt very exited and surprise. Because every year I had the Chinese New Year with my family before I came to America. A few days ago , I was worrying how should I celebrate the festival .I was very suprise and lucky that I could celebrate it with so many friends.It make me feel I were in home and relieve my miss of home.

Friendship

This week we learned two articles about friendship. It caused me think of my best friend, who is studying in China now. I met her in the first class of the fifth semester of High School. I remembered clearly that when we were listening the teacher saying the things about new semester, suddenly a girl came to the classroom with a lot of books in her hands. She knew she was late and said sorry to us with a nice smile. Her smile was so nice that we all forgave her sudden interruption. Then she walked straight to the desk which was behind me. After class she said hello to me and we introduced each other. From her words, I felt she was very kind and optimistic. I thought we could be friends. In fact, we have been the best friends from that day.First of all, we have the similar personalities and interestings, so we have a lot of topics to talk. We talked about our families, ambitions and studies. Every time we enjoyed our talks very much. As the time passed, we knew each other better and better and our affection got deeper and deeper. we trusted each other and there was no secret between us. We could share intimate aspects of our personal lives and feelings. Most importantly, we could share good and bad news. When I had happy things, I would tell her the first time. On the other hand, when I came across some troubles and difficulties, I would turn to her for help. And she would give me some suggestions and helped me deal with them. When I was in bad mood, I also talked with her and told her my thoughts and feelings. After talking with her, I would felt relaxed and my mood would get better.The living of the last year of high school was very intense and we studied for a long time every day, so sometimes we felt very boring and didn't want to study. At this time, we encouraged each other .I had difficulty in maths and she was very good at it, so she usually tutored my maths. Under his help, my maths improved a lot. In that year, we shared a lot of happiness and difficulties together. Unfortunately, we went to the different university in different cities after graduating from high school, but we usually called each other and talked about our studies and lives. Even now I am in New York, I also usually call her. Last Sunday morning I talked with her about one and half hours in the phone. Because it was a long time that we hadn't talked detailedly. She is a senior student and she was preparing for the graduation entrance exam during last semester. She was very busy and had little free time to talk with me. And there is 13 hours' time difference between New York and China, so it is not very convenient for us to call each other. So every time I called her, we just talked for a short time. We promised that we were going to have a long talk after she taking the exam. Last week she took the exam, so I called her at once and asked about her exam .We talked our lives and studies during the past 5 months and our plans in the new year. We were very happy hearing each other' news.I am very proud that I have such a good friend and I will cherish our friendship forever.

Difficulties and Challengers

Oh,my god,the time flies so quickly! It have been three weeks since the new semester started. But I have not accumstomed to these professors' access and their quickly speaking speed who are all my major teachers and I still can't completely understand what the professors say in the class.The professor of my Microeconomics has a very heavy access , so I just can understand his word a little. What's more , he didn't teach as the textbook and write any note in the blackboard. I am very worried that if I can pass it . There are so many notes and so many new professional terms I haven't seen before in the Business Law class, and the professer speaks so quickly, so I can hardly write down anything.Look around the other students, I am so surprised that they can follow the professor and write down everything. Because they are all native American students.I borrrowed their notes to home to copy and review them after the class.There are so many difficulties and chanllenges for me to have my major class.Fortunately,my writting class teacher gave some suggestions to me and my friend who have studied in our school many years also encouraged me and told me his studing experiences .
Thank them very much and I will follow their advice.Hope it will get better and better in coming days.
