Normal Life can not be that Normal.

We go to class everyday, we do homework everyday. We eat, we walk, we talk, we sleep. Everyone has normal life even you are a CEO in Google or you are the president of the United State. Actually, as a student, we kind of set up a stable schedule for us to be the better way to live a life. Personally, I'm the person who don't want to be stable, can't suffer boring things and like chanllenging work. I have a


strong desire to change the way of human's behaviors. We can't change the everyday's things we must to do, but we can change the attitude to make small matter to be more interesting. Bother less, discover more; Eat less, taste more. Recently, I keep thinking how to find the value from the small things or just turn the boring trifles into interesting things. I begin to do every little things with a curious avidity.




I woke up on a wonderful Saturday and took a run outside to make me feel energetic. Then I thought I should rearrange the furniture in my apartment to make it well-organized even though I don't know where I should begin to do. I felt very very fresh and joyful after I cleaned up the most chaotic place. It's such a good beginning to my day. It feels like I am new and all the things surround me are also new.

Then I went to Disney store and bought a plush doll to decorate my pretty room. Now I know this doll called"Eyeore", but I named it" A lv" which will make Chinese laugh because its name seems silly in Chinese. It really delighted me because it filled up my missing childhood. I never ever watched any Cartoon and owned any dolls. Not like other child, the only target is study, to be top in class, something like that stressful tasks. Now, I reborn again with my liitle doll which never leave me alone.







I walked to supermarket and decided to cook at home. I found there are some baby potatoes which have different colors and I never seen it before in China!! It's so surprising that the same products show different appearance in diiferent places. And the watermelon is soooo big there. As my French tuitor said:" you will see any item in American is rather bigger than other places." I felt I should stay longer to experient American life. So I found there are so many American and Italian food which called "ready-made"in China in meat farm. I felt so familiar to find that scene as in my country. I ordered 2 home-made salad and Gourmet round potato knishes which I never tasted before. Then I wait for the kichener with a lots of American resident. I listened the convensation the 2 kichener made and found out they two are part-time worker from certain community college. It's not that common in my country that students work in that place. Half an hour passed, the kicheners never asked me what I need. I met an annoying housewife who taste each salad, butter, bread and buy nothing. "I think it's too strong for me, you should add some flour in it. Oh, it's 2.99 dollars last week, why*&^%&*&*could you check for me?..." The American and I stand out of lines to wait for that women and I notice other people like me have been waiting so long showed their impatient on their faces. They must curse the annoying woman for many thousand times in their minds. Although I can not read their minds, but I know American. Finally, I was the last one to get my foods because I don't know I should get a ticket so that I can order!!!!!!!! I am not that disappointed because I learned a lot from that. I love supermarket and I love life.



BTW, thank for Alexandra, this blog really helps us practice writing. without this blog, I think I won't write any informal passage in English!!

  1. Dear Lisha:

    I'm glad you like writing on the blog. You have given us a lot of vivid details in this description of your activities on Saturday. In English, when you want to change how your room or apartment looks, we say "to rearrange the furniture." Also, did you know the name of the stuffed animal you bought at the Disney Store? His name is "Eeyore," and he is a character from the Winnie-the-Pooh book series. He is great friends with the teddy bear, Winnie-the-Pooh, the main character in this children series (that is also equally loved by adults).
