Well, my life that could be a abroad topic, but really? When I think of my life here, there is really nothing I can recalled, at last this two week since I moved from Scott to Wray.
I thought I made a right choice, because there are too many Chinese in Scott so it's no good for me the practice my English and reasons like this, but after I moved to Wray, yes there are only one or two chinese on my frood, and my roommare is a American who is really nice but I don't feel a contaction here, like my room new is just a place for me to sleep, but my roommeta call it homw. I don't know if it's I have a problem to open up myself or it's all like this.
I do miss the party time, but I don't know if it's good for me.

Privacy Online
Privacy online has always been ignore by people because how the company set up the sit makes the user thinks they own the sit.
Some people might think if they don't put importand information on the sit than they will be ok, but it's not, all the information you put on line are actually belong to the company, so just think about in the pase, did you get a call from a random company try to sell you their product and you wander where they get your phone number? There is a interenting way to find out who sells your infor, it's when you register on a network, what ever the name of the web is you put down it with your last name on the name column, and the next time you get a call you will know. For example, if they call you and sey "Holle Ms. Shen Renren" than I know it's Renren network sold my nomber.
They are takeing advantage from us, and the sad thing is we can't do a thing about it. Privacy online is new area which just appear so they don't have a authentic rules about it. I have no idea how we can fix it, to be honesty if I know, I won't be here right now.

My weekend
This is the Homecoming weekend for OU, and also is the weekend that my aunt came and visited me. I was so excited because I don't get to see her oftenly, she lives all the way across the county. I only get to see her once or twice a year.
She arrived at friday afternoon I was so excited that even can't pay attention in class. After she pick me up we went to a state park called Burr Oak, a quiet place with beautilful sun sit. We had a nice dinner at a restaurant that you can see the whole view of the lake. We stayed over night and got up next morning, she drove me back to Athens. I had a realy good time with her, it's always nice to have somebody come to see you.

Social Networking in China
I spend a lot time with my loptop and most of the time I'm on a chinese social websied called... "People People"... well... I'm not sure this is the right translaition but this is how they translate word by word. "People People" is a very popular websied in China, it's like a Chinese edition of Facebook(P.S. Facebook has already been inhidet in China) I can't say 100 percent but all most every Chinese stunders I met has one or more than one account number for that websied.
As I said, I spend a lot of time on the "People People" because I can catch informtion easily and know what is the most popluer thing at this moment, also on the websied they have a lot different kinds of infomtion, and many tips and instructs in many different area, sometimes they can be really helpful.
The problem is also I spend too many time on that. Like some times I was doing my homework online, it's so tempet to open my home page for "People People" to see what's going on, I keep telling myself just one peek then I will go back to my homework, but everytime when I realize it I have already been on that for half hour. Everything have to sides, so good for you or bad for you it's just depent on you

How To Give a Speech
Sinec we are entering speech part, I decide to give you guys a few tips on how to give a good speech.
Give a speech infront of people is not easy,expecially English is our second language, it's even harder. When you watch someone give a speech, you can easly to tell if that person are nervous or not. The sign are standing strict, touch body part, use filling words...
If you see a person standing there the hole time with out any body movments than he is totaly stress, if you go closer to him, I;m sure you can hear his heartbeating. And people tend to touch their head or other body part when they don't know what to see. The same thing with filling words, filling words are words like"en, will, you know, like..." those words you use betwween sentences, some time you even can't realized you used the word. One or two filling words are ok, but if you use too many time, they can make your speech boring, we all don't want see that happen.
Hope this can help you a little.

Language Learning
I have learned English for 8 years, but the first 6 years can not be count at all. Two years age, when I first came here. I feel totaly helpless, beacuse I found out the 6 years I spend on learning English dosen't help! I was so upset and all the negative emotion came out at onec.
The first few month is the most difficult time of me, beacuse I pretty much like a deaf-mute, can't talk can't speak. I was depressed for a while, but I start to tell myself "put everything together! You can't be like this forever!" So in order to fit in my school, I make myself to be outgoing, to attend different clubs, hanging out with netive speaker. The good thing is after all this, I found out speak English wasn't so hard, and all those different cluds not onle help me with my English but also make my life in Americe have more fun.
I learned English for fit in the society and from my own experience the best way to impove your English is talk! Talk the you friends, sey hi to a straner, sometimg you can get a surprise effects.

Fast Food Century
To my knowledge, America is like a "mother of fast food", it's where the fast food has invented and improved.
Although fast food is a great invention but is it also make America become one of the fatest nation in the world. Fast food is like a big tree, the root had already grouw in the U.S. dirt. So this hard to pull it out completely, only can make it better. I saw a TV show call “Food Revolition”, it's a guy who came all the way from England(I have to say I like he's accent!) try to change America's diet. In the show, he resarch shows that the fast food is everwhere in America, they not noly sell in restaurant but also appear in schools, automat machine and refiger. The fast food makes you can't hide from them.
We can't change how they process the food, but at last they need let the public know how the food made. Then leave the choice them, after they saw the process if they still want those fast food, it's their choice.
Fast food in my country is not so bed, but tens to take the market. The goverment has already action in this area. Like increase the examine process, now everything looks good.

Home Sick
The reason why I brought up this topic is that I found out a lot friends around me are missing their family and friends. It's over a month since they leave home and get over with the “Americe honeymoon” , life gets on the track, they start to thinking, some thing is missing... what is this? wait a minute! It's my dad and mom. It's all my friends back in home. It's my old life!
I'm not saying I don't miss my famliy, but things are weird for my. I have already leave home for two years, so what thay do now, for me as a person who experienced all of those, I completely and a hundred percent understand them.
The thing is I thought I already got over with the whole "home sick" thing but the truth is I didn't. After all those years and all the stuff I had been through, I thought I was tough enough to hendhold this, but I was woring.
All I did just built a wall between my parents and I so that I can hide my negative emtion behind it. Actally my parents did the same thing, they don't tell me how they felt, I believe the only reason they did that is they don' t want me to worry about anything, and so am I.
Sorry for whoevery is reading this, I'm not myself today. If you don't get what am I saying just ignore me.

About This
Wow! I didn't do that "Blog thing" for a quite long time even in Chinese. I always feel ashamed by showing my words to people, beacuse it just seems that I don't get this talent of writing and I'm a kind of person that don't willing to share my feelings.
But I still need to do my homework, in order to get my credit and get out of this class, (no offence, Sally)
Time gose so fast, before I know it, I'm allready a college student. I had a lot fancies about my college life, like be a head cheerleader, drinking at the bar when I reach the legal age, or party all night long. But fancy is fancy, just the first three weeks I have allready stuck with my homework and read. I believe it's going to get better, just depend on time.

What does it mean to live a healthy lifestyle? How can you do that as an international student at OU?
As a international student who came the U.S. for 2 years, I already knew what damage can unhealthy lifestyle does to my body. I have gained 10 pounds over last two years. It was a totally nightmare for me.
But it was in high school. Now speak to college, I have heard about "Freshmen 15" which means you will gain 15 pounds at the frist year of your college, only unhealthy lifestyle can do that. I have already spend a lot time to working on my diet, and for sure I do not want all the work I put in get destroyed by this "unhealthy lifestyle".
What is unealthy lifestyle? Obviously are eat stuff hed been deep fried or do not exercise at any piont... Actually in OU, you don't have to worry about haveing trouble to find health food or a place to exercise. OU provide all kinds of sports equipment and you can find fresh food in dining hall everyday.
But the point is you need to do it, if you choose unhealth things or stay in your room all day long, no one can force you. But if you really want live a healthy lifestyle, you can't let this happen! What I say is make a list, list all the good food you should eat, what time you should go to gym, force yourself to follow the list. It shouldn't be hard if you what your body stay in heatly and perfect shape.
