LAST JOURNAL

Finally, it is the last journal of this semester, which means an end of a period of time and a beginning of a new one. I feel a little sad and of cause, a little homesick. Fortunately, I can go back home this winter break, which really excites me a lot.
Looking back on the days that passed, I have to ask myself: what have I done, what achievements that I e gotten and what improvements that I have obtained. Well, after answering all these questions myself, I feel very relieved. I can say that I didn’t spend the last four months in America in vain and I have already achieved a lot. I have a lot of friends including Chinese and Americans, my speaking English has improved a lot as well as the listening and writing, I overcome the loneliness of the first semester and do a good job in my academic studying. I am now used to the life here. The most important thing is that I have already found my goal of my life and am trying my best to realize it. Although it’s hard and will take a long time definitely, I will never give up.
Yesterday’s storm was horrible. Unfortunately, I have to walk in the street for some reason. The wind was like the sharp knives and blew into my face which hurt me a lot. I wished I had owed a car so that I don’t need to walk anymore. So I made up my mind that I was going to buy a car as soon as possible next semester. That counts one of my short goals. The first thing to realize this is to get a local drive license. I have already gone to the ISSS to pick the “rules of the road”, which is used for preparing for the theory test. And luckily, I got a job in PAR next semester, which means I can get a social security number after working for one week. Oh, gee, that is fast and awesome because one can’t apply for a drive license until you have the social security number. I feel so happy about that and I can imagine that I am driving a car when the heavy storm is covering the whole campus. How fantastic it is and since I have a drive license in China, I don’t need to start to learn how to drive. I can’t help eulogizing how excellent life is. Hope that I can have a wonderful time next semester.
After all, this is a journal for the ESL class. I want to say goodbye to Joy, who I think is a truly wonderful teacher and I really love her. She is the best teacher of all the teachers that have taught me here. Sincerely, I feel so sad that she may not teach us next semester. Hope that she can be always happy.
Goodbye, this semester.
Hello, next semester!!!
