summer break

it's been two weeks that I haven't blogged. If I were still in LEAP 4, Scott would kill me! haha.
I passed LEAP 4 and do not need to take Effective Writing. I am happy about that. However, a tougher thing is coming to me - Engeering study. I have heard that it's very very hard for studetns to study, especially international students. well, yeah, I know, for me, an international student, language is the most important thing for me to get over with.
I think the way Scott has taught us - Read-A-Thon is very useful. Reading 20 mins every day is really helpful because it's a knid of repeatition. However, I do not keep doing it after LEAP. it's just because I am so lazy. well, I really need to grab some books or anything to read every day. otherwise, my English is going down and down.
it's a good day today, expect my job. I felt tired after today's work. I thought it was an easy task to finish today. However, it was not. anyway, it's all done today.
I am gonna move soon, to my new house! Yahoo!

finally

finally, we have one more week. finally, we have the final exam left. finally, we can have my one month holiday.
I received an email from ISC yesterday, which invited us to explore Banff on Aug 24, 2006. It is great! I have been dreaming about a trip to Banff for a long time! here comes an oppurtunity! the only thing I am worring about is that the bus ISC rents is school bus, which is not so comfortable. the last time ISC organized the trip to Edmonton was nice, but I did not feel well in sitting in bus for almost 4 hours. the trip to Banff will be shorter, which makes me less disopponited. haha, Banff, I am coming! anyone wants to go? it cost $20 for the bus rent fee and the entrance for Banff National Park. it is so worthy, eh? the deadline will be on Aug 21, 2006. Let's go to Banff together!
however, before the wonderful trip to Banff, I have the final to do. it makes me a little nervous. Scott kept asking us to study 4 extra hours after classes every day. but, I am sorry to say I did not do exactly as what Scott has told us. I know, I should say sorry to myself, if I fail the final. it's not late to start tight away. late is better than none.
Banff!
