show week

 This week is my show week, because I had three test in this week, and last week, I studied so hard for the test in this week. On Tuesday, I had the test for psychology class, in order to prepared this test, I did a lot. many things must to remembered, such as the lobes of our mind, the structure of  our brain and How they works, and if our cerebellum damaged how to know that. the psychology words was challenge for me , I used my electric dictionary to find the word meaning, every day I repeated the things, which I recited yesterday, I draw the picture of our brain and try to find the best way to remembered quickly . and finally, I did the test, It was not bad, I thought maybe I could get 90 points, maybe is an A. I hope so. The Economic test I had already know my score today, It is not bad. But I had not get an A .Just 2 points , in last two semester, I had never got an A in my economic class, I really want to get an A in this semester, It is hard , But I will try my best to get it. the chemistry test is let me so mad, I think this class is easy for me, I just did not know the form of test, I could not imagine the so many scientistics show on the test, and I never saw in the textbook,and in my note. Maybe on the class the teacher said some of them , But I did not heard. And in the review class, the teacher was not said about them. I lost  5 points from that . I was so sad. Anyway, I studied harder here than I was in china. Because I got a truth when I studied here, that is In American if I put efforts on my study, I will get the high score. In china, if I want to get the high score, not only I must to put efforts on study, I also must to became more smarter.

HAPPY MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL

    This friday night I enjoyed a happy time in MC. I joined the chinese student union, and there were a party for celebrated the mid-autumn festival. Some chinese students take their American friends joined our party.  we were singing the traditional songs and eat the moon cake. The most fun thing  played by people was the traditional game of guessing word. The questions was so funny, which were related the movie start, the famous movie name, and some famous chinese song's names. we laughed all the time. we had a really great night. at last, I was moved. In MC, the international  student were a small group of all student. Our hometown is far away from here, no parents with us, we could not go home at weekend. MC is the second home in this world. we adapting the new home here, and MC provide so many warmly helps for us. letting us together to celebrated the festival, and gives us so many American friends here, we never feel lonely, we called our friends brothers and sisters. In MC we enjoyed the Christian environment, the most sincerely and sweets help always appeared when you have troubles. I love my second home, MC.

      Saturday is the mid-autumn festival. I was so imminently want to introduced the festival in my blog.  the happy day  considered a harvest festival since fruits, vegetables and grain had been harvested by this time and food was abundant. it was a time for relaxation and celebration. the food for celebrated the festival included moon cakes, cooked taro,water claptrap,a type of water chestnut resembling clack buffalo horns.

      The moon cake is the symbol food in the festival. the cake were made with melon seeds, lotus seeds, bean paste. a golden yolk from a salted duck egg was placed at the middle of the cake.Why people eat moon cake in chinese traditional and modern mid-autumn festival? First, the custom of worshipping the moon can be traced back as far as the ancient Xia and Shang dynasties. the shape of the cake is like a moon, so we called the cake "moon cake"there also a story about the moon cake. durning the yuan dynasty, china was ruled by the mongolian people. The  civilian were were unhappy submitting to the foreign rule, so they want to rebellion in the day of the moon festival. in order to spread the information for the civilian without being discovered. the leader ordered the making of special cakes. backed into each moon caked was message with the outline of the attack.  On the night of the moon festival, the rebels successfully attached the government.  so, moon cakes are eaten to commemorate this war.

      How the people celebrated the moon festival in nowadays? people get together do some special customs. such as planting mid-autumn trees, burning incense, lighting lanterns in towers and fire dragon dances. people like look up at the full silver moon, drinking wine to celebrate their happy life or thinking of their relatives and friends far from home,giving the best wish to them.

     At last, I  missed my family so much in china at the mid-autumn day, I will sending my best wish to them. I hope they will be healthy and happy everyday.
