To my dear friends and teachers

Hello, my dear friends and teachers, i'm here writing this blog to tell u my leaving. I will go to a college in Vancouver to study, and i have already dropped my classes at UofC, so this week i will not attend any classes. There are many reasons for my changing of university, and it's hard to explain why i'm leaving. But anyway, I think i will have a better future there. I will leave on this Saturday~~
To tell the truth, i really feel sad to leave... I do enjoy the time that i spent with my friendly classmates and funny teachers( especially Scott). I think we really get along well with each other, and all of u are very kind and helpful. I'm so happy to have such a great class, I really really really believe that LEAP 4a is a wonderful group. And also our leader, Scott, he is an excellent teacher because he make students feel very comfortable to study in his classes and of course, everyone's study seems very good. Scott, thanks so much for your help in class and the extra grammar help out of class. I really learned something from u ~ I'm sure you will be a good professior in the future~~
And to my dears friends, good luck with ur midterm, and hope everyone can pass LEAP4 successfully, and do well in the real university ~ ~~~ I will remember all of u because u are good classmates and friends~~ and i hope i can keep contact with u guys. Here is my msn: jenniferzhu219@hotmail.com ADD ME ~~
Good luck with ur modterm again~~ I WILL MISS U !!!!
BEST WISHES FOR YOU!!!

Should I Work?

I often feel tired recently, and I wanna do nothing except sleeping. In every class, I have to drink coffee to make myself awake. But how come? I think the main reason is that I have a part time job now~~ I work at Noodle & Grill Express Ltd, which is located in MacEwan Student Center. In every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday’s afternoon, I go to work from 5 to 9. After go back to the dorm, I just want to lie on the bed. Sometimes I do my homework in the next morning. After four hours’ work, the only thing I want to do is to have a rest. Absolutely, the part time job have badly influenced my study. However, it’s not totally a bad thing for me. If I don’t spend four hours on working, I may spend this time on watching movie, chatting with my friends or playing computer games. I’m a lazy student, and I rarely do extra studying after finish homework. In this case, I prefer to have a part time job instead of having entertainment. At least I can make some money every month. I’m not lack of money, but as an adult, I don’t want to rely on my parents all the time. Sometimes I want to afford something by myself, such as clothes. I feel uncomfortable to ask my parents for money even though they don’t mind. For this reason, I strongly want to make money by myself. Moreover, the part time job motivates me to study on my free time, such as the ten minutes break during each class. As I know I don’t have enough time to do homework, I try my best to use every minutes to do it. As you can see, there are both advantages and disadvantages of part time job, I cannot decide whether quit the job or continue working.
