Over

Hello ladies and Gentle man, this is my last Blog im gonna do in EAP Program( I hope so). So sad. I finished my blog just now, but I do not know what i did makes it gone. Amazing sad. So sad! Now, I wanna talk about my time in Calgary. I ve been here for 16 months. During these days, Both some good things and bad things happend to me. I can still remember the first day in university of CAlgary. Because i did not have TOEFL mark, so i had to take LEAP course until i finish all the semester that i need to take. Today, i just finished my last three classes in EAP Program( i hope these were the last). I felt time runs so fast that i am not able to catch it. One of my friends told me that EAP life is amazing comfortable that compare with the university life. I thought about this for a long time. I do not even know what the real university life is, i know i have to try my best to do the final test if i want to make it last. anyway, so many memories happened in EAP life. There are many good instrucors that i will never forget their names. Of course, there is also a bad teacher here, i just can not remember her name. From now, i will not mention mething happened in before, i just wanna get into the university. Whatever the future will be hard for me, if i do not even try hard now, there will be no future in my life. At last, thanks for all the teachers in EAP Program, they are so sweet. Also, for all the friends i met here, I wish you guys can reach your goals in the future. Good luck for everyone. I will miss you all the time until i can not remember anything. Bye Bye!!

Final presentation

Today, i finished my final presentation which is hard for me to prepare it. Our topic is about the Wood stock festival. Before i found research about it, i've not have any knowllege around Wood stock Festival. However, i thought i tried my best to do my presentation. last night, i was so tired that i could not concentrate on ding my work. Finally, i decided to take a rest first, and when I got up, i was gonna have a good energy to work on it. Then, i went to bad at 0 am, and got up at 5 am next morning. eventhough i thought i could have a good energy before i went to bed, i still felt tired because i just got 5 hours to sleep, yet i knew i had to prepare my presentation at afternoon, so i forced myself to get up, took a shower. Then, i did an effort on my presentation for many hours. when it was 10 o clock, i decided to go to school, but i was totally run out of my new energy. I did not know how did I fall in sleep again. The only thing i could remember , was late for school. I felt sorry about it. In listening and speaking class, i was the third group to do the presentation. When it turned to us, i felt so nervious. Though i prepared so much about it, i still could not play a good show to other students. Anyway, the final presentation is over, i really hope this will be the last one I did in EAP Program. Be hounest, I really want to enter into the university. I do not want to spend my time in here any more. I will do my best in Final exams! Come on! AAAAA

weekend

this weekend was so busy for me. On Saturday, one of my roommates was celebrating her birthday with us. It was awesome. On that day, all of us had a long sleeping. i got up at 2 pm, that was the earliest one. Others got up after 3 pm. we decided to go Korean BBQ restaurant to have a party at night. i felt so excited. I can remember that last week, Mark ,Allen, Megan and I , we four went to Korean BBQ to have dining. It was the best BBQ restaurant that i had been in Calgary. I gave my roommate the birthday gift which i had bought a long time ago. it was not cost me too much money, but I hope she would love my gift. Actually, i used to ask her what did she want in her birthday. She asked for something which i could buy after i went back to China. Anyway, On that night, while it was so cold outside, we still went to Korean BBQ restaurant. it was amazing that no body were in that place when we were there. a staff told us the reason why it was empty because of the bad weather. People were lazy to come out for dinner. that was the first time that only ourself sat in that restaurant. We ordered dinner for 10 though we only had 8 people. I tried my best to finish everything i could eat. At last, we had done all the stuff. I was the tough guy in this "BBQ match". In short, i really enjoyed Saturday i had been through. Next time, I still love to go there for dinner. COOOL.

MEAT

About last blog's title, actually, it did not mean something special. i just did not know what name shld i give to that blog , so i just typed A AAAA . :) any way, Last friday was amazing for me. there was no class, instead, we went toGlenbow Museum to do our outside activity. It was awesome. We spent about 2 hours in there to watch Emily carr's paintings. There were great! After that, Mark, Allen, Megen and I went to Chinock Mall to watch movie Hitman. We were so excited because all of us like that movie, except Megen. She just did not like the movie with lot of bloody parts. However, our boys felt great after watching movie. the most wonderful thing happened on that day was we had a dinner after we left Chinock center. We went to downtown, and choiced to go a Korean BBQ restraunt. I have been that place for many times. However, this time we were so lucky. At before, i had to wait about 1 hour to get the food we ordered. It was so sad when you feel so hungry but you can not get what you want imediatly. Nevertheless. This time, They did the order so fast that i just could not stop grasp food into my mouth. COOL. BBQ< my faviroute food, whenever i saw them in front of my face, i hope that i can bring them home. At last, when we all finished our delicious dinner, we went home to enjoy the family atmosphere. I was not full on that time. I really wanted to get more roast beef or chicken or something made by meat! GOD!!!!

A A A AAAAAAAA

Today, i just found that i haven't blog for almost three weeks. How could it possible! so SAd. Because i am so lazy or something else. Actually, i have a lot of things which could be wrotten in my blog. Two weeks ago, we finished our fourth major essay. it was so excited for me. it means only one essay left at the rest of the time. So does book report and speaking journal. On the other hand, some one asked me "how do you think about EAP 3" my answer was amazing perfect! i really enjoyed my classes right now. Though i used to be late many times on class, or even be absent two times, i still love this class. Be honest, i think this term is much much much much better than the last three, especially than EAP 2 class. i do not even want to talk about my last semester, there were too much sadness which make me crazy. comparing with last semester, now, it seems like i am living in paradise. Anyway, i would like to use one sentence to describe my life in EAP 3 ----so far so good.

Hello~ mua... yesterday, Actually, it was the day before yesterday because it is 0:14 Nov. 2--- Haloween. yeah~ it was really cool on that day. Our classes were Awesome. We got Orange in scott's class. He is the best teacher that i have never seen because i got two. I love scott. Sandi was pretty good as well. she brought any kinds of food so that everybody got a nice party on listening and speaking class. I also want to sy thanks to Lisbeth caz she gave everyone a wonderful gift. we were all appreciate. On the other hand, i had a bad time after our party because of my part time job. it was amazing busy on Haloween. i could not feel my hand after working. I even did not get chance to do "trick or treat". SO sad. Today was fun. everthing was the same as normal. However, some good news made me exciting! the most kind teacher scott just cancilled one major essay, one bibliography. What a good decision. I know we still need wroking hard because we have tons of things to do in the future. By the way, it is Friday now, i start to feel exciting. I have planed after class, i will go to China town with my roomates and Mark to but something for cooking. I promised my roommates i ma gonna cook for them on Friday. I hope they will be happy when they are tasting my food.

Half is gone

This week was gone. Mid term-- gone. Next week seems like not as busy as these weeks. we have done half of classes in EAp 3. so far not so perfect. i spent too much time on computer games. So sad... i promise i will study as hard as i can in next half semester. Friday, i finished my presentation. After that, i felt really good because i almost done all the work which were happend in these two weeks. This weekend will be fun i think. Any way, i and mark planned that he will come to my house and cook on saturday; however, he told me that he was lazy to go because of the nad weather today. i dreamed of PS2, basketball and delicious food were gone. He always set me up. when i look at the world outside the window, i find it is beautiful. though there are many black clouds, beside them, i can also see the sunlight. What a wonderful view. it is like our lives. we always find sonething bad which will influence our emotion. Nevertheless, there are also many things that pull ourself together. Look at the bright side. if you always look at the black clouds, you will be sad. if you can see the sunlight which beside the black clouds, you will be better.

What makes me sad!~!

So sad!~ I felt this week was so bad for me caz there were many things confused me so much. Major essay number 3. Until now, i am totally have no idea about the essay. i even lost my paasion to write it. Be honest, this is so difficult that i can not make it i think. on the other hand, Midterm is coming up. Tomorrow, we goona have our first writing test. This test is very important for our final marks. However, i dun know nothing about the essay. i am not sure that i can do it well or not. I know we have two and half ours to finish our essay, but is that enough for me? So sad. Moreover, except the writing test, we still have our reading , listening and speaking tests. Last a few day, Sandy told us that we will have a presentation after midterm. So, how does it feel? Just like scott said" you guys have tonse of things to do." there is no doubt that next week goona be really terrible and sad for us. By the way, about our reading class. scott gave us a big surprise which was about his Terrible "secret". when he checked the time before he told us the true, i felt it was not a good sign. Then, we got a NICE POP QUIZ which made me felt more and more sad. At last, i don't wanna spend to much time on sadness. Trying to think about the day after we finished all the stuff which we have got through. What a DAy.

what are you doing?

hello hello. it's 12:53 Oct 15th 2007. i am in Calgary. these days, Eap 3 class divided into two class, which means we have a same listening and speaking class but not at the same time. in my Lec B class, we have more than one hour break between the writing class and L/S class. when i first heard about it, i thought it was too long because i really did not know what should i do. However, these days, after we finished the writing class, me, Mark and Allen we alwasy go to GYM to play basketball. i really enjoy this activity. During this 80 minutes, if we feel a little hungry, we would like to eat something in Mac. Then, we usually talk about the class or something fun in our lives. Finally, we go to play basketball. At first, i thought Allen could not play this game well because he spent more time on soccor. this is new to him. However, Mark and i Often gave him some guidances so that he really improved his skill. Now, i can say he is a good shooter. Mark is still a tough guy, he is becoming more and more skillful. Before today, i still thought i am better than him, but i think i was wrong. Be honest, he is a good player. He has a better skill than i do. Anyway, i dun know how did other classmates spend their time, we three are really happy in this period of time.

Long weekend + Thanks Giving

how's going everyone? finally, we have finished our terrible week, especially the last Friday. We have a little time to relax. All we need is a wonderful breath. these two days were wonderful for me. i think we did not have too much homework. However, i still could not find something new or exciting. From monday to friday, we have to study everyday. i think everyone will agree with me that we like the weekend more than the working day. In this weekend, i was thinking about how to arrange my time effectively. Be honest, we can control a lot of time per day, but not everyone can understand how to utilize their time. I am one of them. for example, in this weekend, i only spent a few hours to study. My bad. I know i was wrong because we are students. I really know that. Today, i got up very earlier, and i started to review the test book. I think that is a good sign. i hope i can keep doing this. I think why i was not able to focus on studying because i always thinking about playing. i did not give myself much time to do my job. If i can try to change myself. i believe i can do better. Anyway, pay more, get more. Happy THanks Giving day.

are u happy?

Ofcourse i am not happy. i can not remember how many things i have to do this week. major essay, listening quiz, reading quize, grammar quize, and presentation which sandy said it was easy. SO sad. everyday seems like not having engough time for me. i have to play some games. eating some some foods, and studying for four hours at home( however.......) :p sometimes, when i was sitting on my bed. i though "why don't u go to have a nice nad peaceful sleeping, Eric?" I tried really hard to refuse myself. " you have a lot homework to do, you don't have extra time to have a rest." Eric told Eric. So, for me, i have 2 different opinions. first, i will leave my bed and star to study. Be honest, i really hope that every time i can make the decision like that. HOWever, sometimes, i will keep sitting on my bed, then give myself a litlle time to be relax. i promise it is really a little time. Compareing with my study time at school. Anyway, i think if you are really tired, it is not a good idea to keep studying. you'd better to relax yourself a little bit. After that, you will get a good energy so that you can learning much better.

is coooool

Today i felt so good because one of my friends mentiond something about the blog. Finally, i rememberd that this is supposed to be one of our homework. that's awesome. Actually it was not new to me to creat the blog because last semester i had already learnt how to do it. Anyway, it was a good chance to test our typying speed. I hope this semester is gonna be my last semester in EAP program. i can not wait for going to the university. it is obvious that we have to do a lot of works this term. However, this is the real life in EAP III. We are the BEST STUDENTS in this program. On the other hand, i think many of my classmates are really good at english whatever in writing, speaking or reading. They've got much knowledge that i did. i really hope that i can learn as much as i can just like them. Anyway, there are only about two months left in this semester, everybody must try hard to do our job. 4 HOURS at school, 4HOURS outside school. Let's do it. I would like to try it from tomorrow......

The first day in Final



Been gone through many difficulties, finally, we got our fanal test today. it was a sad day be honest. sicince the moring i did my speaking test, i felt it was sad. last night, i just got 3 hours to sleep which caused me not so comfortable this morning. when i entered into the test room, the air was freezen i thought. john gave me two questions about the evironment which were the most difficult parts for me. after the 10 minutes, i went out of the room, i told myself me might be died. However, peole can not always be sad. After ella finished her test, she , me and paul we went to Mac to have our lunch. thank god i really loved this lunch because i found something more important than delicious food. i found a beautiful girl who worked in Pastle in Mac. i was shock when i first saw her face by wearing my glasse which could make me watch the view more clear. it was hard to decribe how beautiful she was. Nevertheless, sometimes,sadness always followed by happiness. Before she went back to her working place, there was a man who was setting beside her. what a sadness. I hope that they are just general friends. they must be.. whatever, my final writing test was terrible cause i might make something wrong which was the serious problem. Let me PASS EAP II, ok? please.

go over the time i have spent



Today, july 25, 2007. everybody finished their presentation and the last quiz of the listening. moreover, this is our last listening and speaking class in this Level. however, i am not pretty sure if i can pass this level or not because my listening and speaking are poor. time runs fast, at the begining of this level, my mark in listening and speaking are not bad. though it was not so high, it stll between A and B. it was sad that my mark was going down after the second quiz. i did not know what was going on. presentation, test, midterm, so many stuff made my mark became sucks. now, i just get 72% and i am not sure how was the presentaion and this quiz. i know, if i just failed in listening and speaking, i will still in Eap II after september. how sad it gonna be. i can not imagine and do not wanna imagine that bad result. to go over the whole time in these three months, i found i did not study very well. I even did not save my time to leanr english. whenever i saw someone could speak or writhe the exerllent english, i was really admiration. we are all from the forign country;however, somebody can learn english well , others can not. it is not because they are smarter than we are, they work hard so that they can get use english. I hope the god will bless me to get through it.

amazing happy!




What a sunny day for me. finally, i finished my last presentation today. now, i really do not care about how the mark will be. i just want a long breathe cause i really been tired to do it. i spent a lot of time to do the research and organize them into my presentation. i even can not remember how did i spent my weekemd. i felt so weary last weekend cause we had a lot of stuff to do. for everyone in Eap TWO it was a sad week . however, after today, i think we have already gone through the most difficult period of time. though, we still get some quizs and final test this weekend, i think it will not be hard as this presentation. be honest, i really tried my best to work on it. it is not easy. actually it is so tough. anyway, i have done my working so that i can enjoy my rest of the time utill the next bad days coming. what a nice day. i even feel exicit to write this blogg. how amazing it is. so sad....

Free time



I got a wonderful weekend! Last week, my working schedule was changed so that i did not have to work on friday! For me, it felt like i got A in the final test cause every Friday was a busy day. So, i invited my friend&colleague Dave to my house after he finishied working. the only thing we were supposed to do was play WarIII which was the most popular game in E-Game. When he arrived to my place was about 10 o'clock Pm. took a few minutes break, we started our battle on the computer. i felt so amazing that dave did not get any chance to win during the battle. i could not remember that how many arounds did we play from 10 pm to next morning 5 am. i could just say COOL. Dave used to beat me few times; however, the luckybird did not stand in his side this time. eventhough this game time was little longer that we did not get enough time to sleep, we still felt good because this was a good chance to relax ourselvies. BY the way, we had to work on saturday and sunday, so only 5 hours for each one from us could be slept. So sad? ofcourse not!! For me, happy with friends are the most important thing than ever.

so sad Presentation



Two weeks ago, we got our second presentation which was to describe a hero and his/her Journey. Mark, Wei and i were in the same group, we discussed about the tipic and decided to choose Dr. Bethune. For many reasons that we chose him to be our hero in the presentation, he was one of the most famouse heroes in China. At the end of his story, he sacrificed his life for others. be honest, i thought this presentation was not easy because the topic was a little harder for us. As a result, i got 59% mark in this presentation. How sad it was. During the presentation, i really felt shy. i even could not remember what did i say after the speech. i knew i did not prepare quite well before the test coming. Moreover, this was the first time i failled in presentation and the got a awful mark this time. Anyway, different teachers have different styles, that is what Pam has told us about the different marks from different teachers. After this presentation, i think it is not the problem from the teacher, it is from myself. I hope before the next presentation, i can figure out the problems and fix them.

The lion king



Yesterday, i watched a movie with ella after we finished our working. i think almost everybody knows this famous cartoon movie, but the movie i have watched yesterday was the thrid one of the series.

it was really realyl funny this movie. some parts of the movie are familiar to us, but there are used in different visual angle this time. the main character is not the lion anymore. The new movie described the story between tinman( the hedgeshrew) and Pengpeng(the pig). This time the story tell us how did these two brothers know about " Ha- Ku-Na-MA-TA-TA( it means no worries) and how could they help Sinba( the Lion) to get his kingship. I can still remember when i was a child, my mother bought the this movie for me and i really enjoyed it. almost ten years later, i have a chance to watch the new movie about lion king again, it really lets me remember some sweety memories. i am strongly suggest everyone to watch that movie. That's so great!

nice ending~






Wow~ what a nice day after the midterm~ i feel~ so happy and a little sad. About the midterm test. i really don't know what can i say about everything i did. Listening test i got a nice Fail!! Actually, after i finished the test, i had already felt so bad~ the first part i did very bad~ on that time, i told myself" you will failed" . This week, when JENNIE gave me my test, i got my wish! FALED! nice..... i found mark got 71% though that was not a high mark, but the only thing i wanna say that he is very lucky and congratulations! These few day were still boring for me, my roommate got lots of "spring days" How about me~ what a sad person i am. Fine.. fine... anyway, this midterm tells me lots of things that i should really take care of my studying, because the language studying will be harder and harder, and if i do not ready for taking adjustment for next half term, i am afraid if i can pass through this level or not~ really Dangerous. In conclusion... .......so sad. Bye Bye.
