:? For some reason I don't know why, lately I keep feeling down after I'm done with classes every afternoon. I'm not sure if it's because school just started and I'm not adjested to it yet, or because it's my own problem. :(
I need something to motivate me.....something to keep me going.
I have two quizes tomorrow which I need to study. But I just don't really feel like studying. ....
I hate going to school. The only time when I loved school was in sixth grade~9th grade. My homeroom teacher in sixth grade sucks, so we always skip classes and go out to play.
From 7th~9th grade my very close friend was in the same school that I go to. I love to go to school so I can go hang out with her after calss.
Well...anyway~that was the past~and now~~eeeehhh~~I have to deal with things I hate to deal with...
hehe~I guess I'll just go take a shower and than decide what I'm going to do with the rest of my day. :roll:

| Culture |
| 03.26.04 (11:20 am) [edit] |
Culture is learned.
This is a phrase that is emphasized a lot in my East Asia Humanity class which I took last quarter. I really agree with it. After you learned some ancient culture that goes back thousand of years, you’ll be fascinated by it. Maybe that’s why lots of people love Japanese culture and are eager to learn more about it. Well, of course the other reason is that Japan has the second largest economy in the world. Hmm…let’s forget about the economy and focus on culture thing for now.
Learning the language is really a stepping stone of learning a culture. From the language we can learn the values, beliefs and attitudes toward everything people encounter in their daily life. Everyone that has learned a second language will find this true. There are always some words in one language that are hard to translated or explained in another one. The more different the two cultures are, the harder it is to translate the two languages properly. Needless to say, this is due to people in these cultures look at the world in a different view. They have different ways of thinking. Thus, these cultural differences reflect on their languages.
There is no culture that is better than others. All cultures solve problems in their own way. This is said by my professor in rural sociology. :P
Unlike the American society, people in the “far east,” emphasize on groups instead of individuals. They also emphasize on maintaining harmony in society. Though, from what I’ve learned from EALL, the text says Japanese society emphasize the和(wa) and that is how their society function, from what I have experience, maybe all cultures in East Asia emphasize on 和.
Take the traditional Chinese medicine or TCM for example, it emphasize on the holistic health of the body and mind. (hmm…I left my EALL text in my dorm,…and it’s kind of hard to explain without introducing some technical worlds of TCM…I’ll leave this part after I get back to my dorm.) 8)

I know I seldom talk about myself, especially things that are in my mind. It's not that I don't like to talk about it. It's just sometimes I think it's too complicated for people to understand. Thus, I'd rather leave it unsaid. But now, I think I will try to write about them on my blog. If you don’t like them, just ignore them.
Hehe…you might also find I’m always jumping form one topic to another….but ….whatever, who cares. :P

I just finished my 3rd ochem midterm two days ago.
Well....it was really hard. Harder than the 2nd one. :?
The good thing is....they will CURVE it for sure.
Now, i'm going to start studying for my finals. I have four all on Wednesday.
Starting from 7:30 and I'll be done at 3:30. :shock: That's really a tight shcedule.
My roommie told me I sould ask my prof. if I can shecedule for another time. But...I'm not sure if I want to do that.
I think I cam do 4 exams in a day.
And besides, this gives me a good reason to force myself to study. :wink:
Anybody have any great plans for spring break yet?
I so can't wait for spring break to come. :D
I won't be going home until Friday or maybe Sat..hehe
I want to hang out with my friends at Columbus before I go home.
But...well....maybe they'll be heading back their homes right after finals...so...who knows
hehe...I should go study now~
