two more blogs/weeks

time filies. we finished our last presentation today. it was not so hard, though. we had two weeks to go. it is not so long, neither short. all of us were depressed this morning because of the news that we are required to take all three courses even if we only fail one course. it is not a good news for us because we have weakness in studying the language. I mean, some may be good at writing, but is a little weak in speaking.
I feel less worried of speaking than before, and I think my English is really improving through out this whole year study. Even so, speaking is the most hard part for me, and I am still feel afraid of making mistakes.
Amy is not feeling very well today, and she might have a cold. actually, I do not feel so good, either. therer might be some little problems with my stomach or bowl. whenever I feel cold, I will go to the toilet. I should have something warm. In Chinese medicine, food are catograied into cold, warm, and moderate. For example, banadas are cold so that they help you go to toilet easily.
by the way, I saw an ad about Calgary Fringe Festival, and it said it was about films, performances, songs, and concerts. it atracts me to have a look at it downtown. I guess it will be fun, besides, LEAP will be finished by then!

peach

I just had a peach, which we brought yesterday. it did not taste as good as I thought, but it's OK. well, mentioned about peach, I really want to go to the Calgary Farmers' Market. the last time I went there with Amy and Tom, the market was out of power. How lucky we were that day! so, we had to go back, and we had a not so good dinner that day. we had some chicken wings in Madision, they were not so good cooked. the drink - yoghurt shake was nice, though. the best chicken wings I have had are those in Pizza Hut. the chicken wings in Pizza Hut are really BBQed. they are really nice, I strongly recommend they, haha. I want to have some, too.
Florianna just taught how to make ice-cream ourselves today. it is easy to do, and I want to have a try. however, our freezer of fridge is full of pork, fish, and shrimp. it can't bear anything more right now! this was the reason that I did not go to Scotto's extra hour yersterday. I felt so sorry for not going to meet Scott because I do learn things from him. but, facing with food and knowledge, I will place food at the first place, no doubt. it is impossible for a starving person to continue studying. ah, here comes a good topic to write an esay about - Food & Education.
it is wednesday today! we have two and a half weeks to go. Yahoo!

hmm

well, I should have blogged yesterday, but I did not. It is because there is nothing to write about this weekend. ah, one thing just comes out my mind - Stampede breakfast.
We LEAP, I think the whole LEAP went to Stampede breakfast yesterday morning on campus. It was my first time to have a Stampede breakfast, and I don't hope it was my last time. I had two pancakes, a saugage, some beans, and a cup of juice. the pancakes were not bad, and the beans were nice. also, the honey (was that honey?) was too sweet for me. it was a good day yersterday and the sun made me sweat when I was sitting on the grass. anyway, it was not a bad sencond breakfast for yersterday.
it seems the blog is not long enough, so I should add something more even though I have nothing to say. I read one of my friends' blog, in which he discussed the benefits and challenges of writing about I have nothing to say. you know what, he made this as an essay! on, my god, he must be crazy, I think. but, I learned how to make my blog longer even if I have nothing to write about. haha...

stampede

I just heard that we can get a free entrance to a Stampede park, or something like that. if we arrive at Stampede before 9am tomorrow and get a seal. than, we can get a free entrance! and, free pancakes and bacon for breakfast! I really want to go to there to have fun, but, I have to work tomorrow from 8 - 4. it's not too late, and the park will be closed at 12, I think. so, I guess I have to get up at around 5:30 and take the c-train to Stampede, and then get back to work before being late. I heard that there will be a lot of people waiting for the free entrance. maybe I should go there and experience heritage of Canada.
it's a pity I did not go to the parade yesterday. there were two main reasons. the first one was the parade was a little bit early. the other was I went to attend a lecture yesterday morning. so, I missed it.
frankly, I feel it is a little silly after I watched the video Friday afternoon. are Cowboys risking their lives to entertainment people?! maybe it is an important part of Canadian culture, but I do not really understand very much. Candaians like risks, which is all I have to say.
