struggling week

 This week was like a nightmare for me. I met some bad experiences in this week. First of all, I got a B in my psychology second test, I was really sad, because I put lots of efforts to prepared this test. The B is not a grade that what I really wanted. As an international student, the grade is so important for me, the study pressure not only from my family, also from myself.  The grade proofs my efforts, but this time I failed. I just thought the psychology test is not a hard test for me. just spend the time to remembered the material from the study guide and review the terms again and again. But this time some questions maybe from the class that I was not care about. the second bad thing is I had a bad cold in this week, I felt so bad, I took many medicines, but the result is not so good. The weather was changed so fast, my body was not catch up the speed change of the temperature. everyday, I was so tired, when I finished my class, I quickly went my dorm and sleeped. I really miss my family and the food in my hometown.

This week was a busy week. so many things I must to finished. I always say to my parents that the American college life could not leave me a time, let me to miss home except the food. I just already finished the second test for my psychology and economic class, the two test were not bad, but compared the first time durning these two test, I think this time I was not so confident for the grade. maybe the knowledge which i had learned was harder. In the english class, our professor leave the second major paper for us, and next week, we must finished the complete draft. the topic of the this time I think is challenge for me, I just nervous about the I could not understand the requirement, and I could not get the main point of this major paper. "evaluation" is my first time met in my english writing history, I never try to write about this aspect paper before. I must to finished this challenge before the weekends, because, the paper is a big stone in my heart, if I am not finished the paper, I could not have a fun weekends. The second task is my chemistry class review work, I just did not care about the chemistry class during last week, so I had a bad  experience on my quiz in chemistry class. I must to care about my chemistry class, because this class that I must to get A in final grade.

Final grade for my English competition class

This week, I  already knew my last midterm grade for my English 101 class, It was fine, but not so good. The paper was required us to wrote about  our academic history. Because of this is my first time to wrote the formal Major paper in English writing  class as an international student. I had a little nervous. I could not imagine How the teacher value my essay, which is wrote by a second language leaner. I did  lots of efforts to do my essay. In order to write a essay that the grade will be not so bad.  What materials I should added to support my main idea of my essay? How make my sentence more beautiful? But as second language learner that  have so many language barrios . Everyday, I thought my essay, I changed the paragraph of my essay. I went to the writing center to found a touter to help me. and at last, I found the teacher give me some advices to improve my final draft.It was helped a lot. After the work for my first major paper, I thought myself have so many things to improved for my English writing. I hope that in the second major paper, I can get more higher grade.
