We had our first muti-draft writing last week. It was about the Non-violence Social Change. The topic was pretty hard for me. I am not very familiar with the topic and actually I am not really interested in the political kind of things. However I can not choose the topic and I have to write whatever I got. So I read several articles about the topic either on the text book or online. It was really a lot of work to do. I had to read the outline about the article to check whether the article is talking about the thing I was looking for first. After that I still had to read the article carefully and clearly. I needed get some useful information from them and to create my own essay. It was had, but I finally finished my first draft.
On other classes, I got my second exam on plant biology last week. It was still very bad. I was so disappointed on myself. I really did hard this time, but I still got one important point forgot to review before the exam. It hurt really a lot. I got 7-9 problems wrong on that point. I was so sad. I know it makes the 4.0 more and more impossible now.

7th blog: Time writing
A Couple weeks ago we had our first time writing. It was really lucky that we got a prompt that was really similar to the one we got in our writing class. I chose the one similar to our practiced one without doubt. I didn't even thought about the question a lot and started writing. I noticed that was a really stupid mistake when I got my score last week.
The reason why I started writing the question very fast was that I felt the prompt was really similar to our practiced on and also I saw that when Chris saw that question and act made me felt that was I thought was right. I feel that is really stupid. I should not ever do that in a real test. I should read the question carefully and think about it deeply. I am sad about the score I got and I also feel that I really have a lot work to do in the future. I should definitely practice more and read more sample essays more in my spare time.
However, what so lucky is that the time writing is not the major part of our grade, and we still have one more chance to make the time writing grade up in the second time writing. Hope I could do better next time.

5th Blog
I went to Chicago this weekend. It was a lot fun. I went to Chicago to meet my girlfriend. It was her birthday this weekend.
About her birthday, we went to Chinatown to have a traditional Chinese Sichuan hotpot in a famous Sichuan restaurant at Chinatown. It was really delicious. It was just like we used to have in China. After the great dinner we went to the theater watched a newest movie named The social network. It's talking about the founding process of "Facebook". It was really interesting. It made me even thinking about what I should do in my college. I notice that my college life was not that interesting or diverse enough so far.
There was an interesting thing happened in Chicago. I saw my friend who is living in the same residence hall with me in Chicago. It was so surprise to me. I even saw her three times in Chicago. Really interesting. The world is so small.
That's mostly what going on last weekend.

The Forth Blog
We learned about the MLA style for the last couple weeks. It was so complex. I found out that do some research in America is extremely difficult. The most complex part of doing a research is to do the cited list using some kind of style like MLA style. We have to keep some kind of guide book in hand, such as our Hand Book, in order to do the style without any little mistake. There might be a serious problem exist if we did not do it correctly.
Beside of the Esl221's class, in other classes there are a few exams coming in within the couple weeks. I did not do well in the PLB's first exam and I really have to work hard and do much better in the second exam, and I am having Mth132's second exam this Friday. I think that won't be hard if I finish all the homework before the exam. Fight!!!

The third One
We have already started the new semester for a month. I think I still haven't get use to the new semester's study.
Most times when I sit at my desk I always don't want to study. I like to do everything at the last minutes. I think this is really a serious problem for me. Also, I always couldn't concentrate on my study for a long time. I like to chat with my friends at the same time as I am doing my homework. This is also very bad for me. Like last night, when I was do the research for the "Coffee's benefits" topic. I was search the articles at the same time I was surfing on the Facebook looking at my friends' most recent news. This made me really not efficiency. I used my whole night to finish just one body paragraph's research paper.
I know I really need to change ASAP.
