2 Days Before Toefl

    It is kind hard for me to believe that only 2 days later I will be doing my toefl test in Pittsburgh. Facing a major test that is relative to my future, I always feel a little bit panic. I still remember  that during 8th grade, I was so afraid of the entrance test of high school for middle school students that I even had nightmares on the test!! So CRAZY! 
    I can not but face the reality. I have to do well on the test. I didn't doubt my ability of rocking the test earlier but now I can not be as confident as I was 2 weeks ago. Why? Literally speaking, one of the most major reasons is that I only get to take the test once. Or, I do not want to take the test, which lasts forever and ever, twice in a roll. Plus the expense is so high that I think it is kind ridiculous. Sadly, I only have the human rights to express myself. So as what Mrs. Brett would STRONGLY AGREE, one could not be interfered by others while making his or her or ITS own decisions, such as how much money ETS wants to charge millions of international students every year for taking the Toefl test.
    What could be the other main reason for me to panic before the test? Let me think... Thinking......I am afraid that I am going to mess all up, especially the speaking part and the writing part. Even though I could always express myself in a relatively comfortable way, it is still hard for me to be prepared and be able to talk on a unfamiliar subject to a computer for 45 or 60 seconds. Not to mention that I did not even practice for it. HAHA funny Zheru. For the writing part, I have never written a good essay in English in my entire life, which directs to the lack of the usage of different words and phrases while writing an essay. SO these are two of my major problems. And I did not pay attention to them at all until now, at this very moment. OM lourd.
    Plus, I don't even have a practice book of toefl!!!! Freaking out....
    Anybody thinks that I have the ability to get 100+ on the test? NO ONE. okay, i have to have faith in myself, right?Right. 
    My very last word, Buddha please guide me....  阿弥陀佛.

Holy aRt

  It has been a long long long time since the last time I wrote on my blog. Well I think I am finally ready to write again.

  Yesterday, being more specific, 3.12.11, Saturday, was a beautiful day. And I can't help hearing JOJO saying: beauteeeful, beauteeeful Saturday. I love JOJO. Just in case Devo might see this, Devo I love you too!!

  Besides the excitement of going shopping with JOJO and Song on a beautiful Saturday morning, another thing made my day the most excellent one by far. That is I finally got my mommy Skype on her computer and we could finally talk to each other without my paying extra dollars!! This was really awesome since I always talk to her like crazyyyy.

  So undoubtedly I wanted to show off my current art projects!
Olivia!! My musical body. Honestly I 've never thought that I could have such good time in USA. lots of love!
KORN!!! i have to tell her that i ate corn today!!

Of course my mommy was amazed by the pictures just as I was. She is proud of me without a doubt! I am certainly proud of her too. She was so cute that she even asked if anybody wanted to buy them or not. OOHHHHHH i love her so much!!

  After my chatting with my mom and my brother 咪咪, I suddenly had this idea of letting them meet JOJO. Why not?  SO I did exactly what I wanted to do. And I love whenever they couldn't understand each other and I had to hold my laughters and tried to tell them what they were saying at the same time!! FUN FUN FUN! I could see after the short "interview" my mom was not as worried as she was before. She knew JOJO was an excellent host mother right away! My mom is a smart lady, just as JOJO said.
