Personal Addition: Final exam on English

I'm so excited to get a 62 percentage on  my provincial exam on English, I wasn't actually expecting my marks go over 60%, it's indeed a suiprise for me and it also helps me to go into university directly, but in here I still have to thank Ms. Mclauchlan for giving me so much help, I could never do such a great job without her help.

5 pages in my note's book

This is the five second project, what I try to describe is a ultraman beating a monster, and returning to space.

    This brain are full of strange thoughts, I couldn't even remember where does this visual from, but it's one of my favorite hand-drawing, though. Actually, I kind of enjoy all of my own create hand- drawing.

This is my digital footprint, also, this is one of my most pride composition in hand-drawing, I couldn't imagine someday, somehow I'm able to draw things like this, I'm so proud of myself.






                                                                         

This is my offcially fist page of note's book, which I think has a constructive meaning for me, as a beginner of writing.

This my first reading reflecting, it helps me to build a base of writing afterwards, it has different meaning than other pages for me.

Personal Addition: Driver license

This is my first step to get a driver license in M.B, filling out this form and I will be offcially rolling into MPI system, I'm so excited to step out this step because that means I'm a grown man and I can handle things like this.

Final Thoughts

Well time really goes so fast, we're almost in the end of this year, we've done many assignments and project, let's talk about it.

My favorite assignment through this whole semester is the TBL project, which is the final project, not because it's a meaningful project, but actually it inspires my intelligence of drawing.

My least favorite project is The Blackout Poetry, the reason I dislike it is it requires a lot of creative thoughts which I'm kind of lack of, besides, a low marks on it is also the reason I don't really like it.

Friday Reading, it's a very reasonable and useful time, for me, I hadn't read many books until we have that reading period, but after this semester I have two more books done reading, this is a great progress for me. it helps students to read more, think more, do more. 

Connecting to Friday Reading, a Monday Reflecting is a part of reading, it sublimates the understanding in our minds and make our thoughts logical and clear, so I think it's the most useful part in this course.

The Writer's Note, it's definitely worth than a few bucks because it brings up the habit and the ability to write are more than money can measure, we can write anywhere anytime, catch the moment of inspire. This is another useful aspect in this course, I think.

Blogging, I have my first blogger in this class, I must say it is very bringing me a different feeling of Internet, I used to play video games on computer, but with this blog, they have been abandoned by me because I found out that viewing some blogs is a interesting thing to do.

Same as blog, this is also the first Twitter account I've ever had, it introduces me a method to socializing in a way, and I have been tweeting my life and funny things on it all the time, more importantly, it's brought me into a different level in English.

The integration of technologies in this course are really helpful for students who wishes to improve their ability in writing because this course inspires students to think, to create by giving some hints and strategies. Mixed with internet technics add some fun into this course makes this course would be boring, anyway, I think this is an awesome course to take.

I've been many roles in this course, as a reader, I think I really need to intensify my vocabulary in order to be a fast reader, in the meanwhile, my reading also has some positive parts that I'm always able to find the point of a paragraph. As a writer, I think my imagination still need to improve because I write things ordinary, which probably makes my writing lack of attractive, but on the another part, I think I can write texts very clear and logical, maybe it's because I have a math brain than literary brain. As a thinker, I found out that since my first language isn't English, my thoughts are always slower than others, but the good news is I'm improving. As a creator, I mentioned that I'm not a good creator but I believe it's getting better while the English taking root in my mind time by time. In other words, I have many aspects need to be improved somehow, and I will work hard for it, I will do it.

Ms. McLauchlan, she is a very funny, conscientious teacher, sometime she is strict but it's all for students benefits, besides, she is pretty, I want to say thank you to Ms. McLauchlan.

advice for future CW students are: Make sure you have a note book because it really helps. Put more efforts into project or assignments than other, you will get a high marks. Use Friday Reading class and Monday Reflecting time well, do not waste it because it's really important not matter look it from which angle. 

Alright, this is all I want to say, also the thoughts I have for this class. Good luck to future CW students and again, thank you Ms. McLauchlan!

Personal Addition: Final Exam is eliminated!

This picture was taken on last Thursday right after I finished the English Final Exam while I'm sitting on the bench and waiting for the bus. Honestly, Final Exam is the only thing I was worried, not math, not physics, nothing else because getting an awesome marks on English could make my way to go into the university easier and more comfortable, in order to avoid the English intensive training, as an international student, we would have to get 75% averaging over 2 English courses, and I'm working on it. Anyway, it's relaxing time for me since that day and hope I can enjoy the last few days in High School!

Personal Addition: Nice day today, 6-10

I took this picture on the way home after school today, I'm not accustomed to take pictures while I'm walking but this scene really attracted me to do so, the leaves are getting golden and the sunshine makes them more harsh, what a beautiful day!

Personal Addition: Weekend

 It's been a long weekend(because I skipped Friday), and me and my friends gathered together making some Chinese food, we've got fishes, roast ribs and chicken wings. it might not look so good but actually it was awesome, trust me, you would love it if you had it!

Personal Addition: Vivid Impulse

One thing I'm not sure we write about often, if at all, is impulse. The impulse to hurt people, or ourselves.

Now, not sure if "impulse" is the right word to describe this or not, but hallucination feels...somehow wrong. Visions seem wrong.
Though probably any of these could be appropriate, and perhaps we are just denying them because of the connotations they bring to mind.

The other night we were laying in bed with James and he was asleep, we had just closed the device we use to play a game most of us enjoy playing (Jewels Star) and lay in bed unable to sleep...and a strange...impulse...okay, fine...vision (it just seems crazy that way :-/)...appeared in our head.
It was unpleasant, and made us ill, and we knew it was our worst (Brooke) fucking with us, like she does other times. Our arms became heavy with rejection of what we were seeing.

She wanted us to go to the kitchen and get the 10" chef's knife that we use for cooking...and she showed us what she wanted us to do with it. It wasn't so much violent, as gentle thrusting...that didn't make it any more comfortable to watch, and feel, and...experience. It wasn't shown in a blood-lust or glorifying way. It just was.

We won't say more.

She only did it to make us scared. We know Brooke doesn't like James, but she doesn't like us either. She used to want us to jump in front of buses back before we moved back to the United States and walked to work everyday.
Now, these days, she wants us to drive our vehicle into the side of semi-trucks on the interstate, and to stick our hands in moving blades, and other things that make it a struggle, sometimes, to prevent. It's not self-harm. we don't see it that way. But it's...disturbing. It's not everyday, thankfully. It's not even every week, but she always makes sure we don't forget she's around.

We know how to be smart about it. We tell James when these things happen, maybe not right away, but in a timely fashion that works with our schedules.

He does not fear us, or her, and is likely happy that we disclose these things rather than harbor them and let them destroy us mentally. It can't be easy to hear the wom[e]n you love tell you that "she" had visions, had impulses, to stab you in your sleep last night.

We've never understood her anger towards us, or other people, or why she would want us to hurt so much. Sometimes it's hard to try to understand each other, and when we try it just makes us want to curl on the floor and cry...and there's only so much of that we want to do in our life. But the thing we can do it recognize it, deal with it, and move past it and remember we are all responsible for each other and that was the deal.

We're really not as crazy as this particular blog entry may make us seem. At least we don't think so.
You can ask anyone who has met us.
We're not everybody's cup of tea, but thankfully some people like it strong.

Bucket list "100 things I want to do before I die"

 

 

Personal Addition: Cute dog

I had been staying at my friend's house for a few day, and this is his cute dog, he is eating something(I don't know what exactly it was), I'm not familiar with judging the breed of dogs, but anyway isn't he so cute? I want to have my own one in the future.

Personal Addition: NBA finals

The NBA Finals have started, San Antonio Spurs against Miami Heat. It's been exciting and drastic these days. Report interview, Press Conference have made this series full of serious and nervous, but personally, I support Spurs to get the finals trophy because I don't like Lebron James's betray that year, besides I don't enjoy how physical he plays. But anyway, this is surely going to be great series for all basketball fans, enjoy it!

Personal Addition: Finished book

This book Snitch, has been read entirely by me, this is offcially my first finished reading book, in fact, this is what this CW course has brought to me, I'm so excited!

Author's Note

Well, time goes so fast! Still remember the start of this semester when I held my schedule wondering what exactly Creative Writing is. In the past four months, I’ve been inspired to creative my own personal additions and reading reflections and so on. I finally get familiar with the concept of creative, which in my opinion is to discover and explore, then sort through it as an organised thought. Anyway, this course is coming to the end and I appreciate all the knowledge, all the strategies I was taught. I wish time could stay at this moment forever.
 The new project which is the The Buried Life asks us to make a list of “100 things I want to do before I die”. Everyone has dreams but under this reality, most of them are barely can come true and this project is basically designed for people, ask them to list their dreams and put their effort into completing it. I have to say this is really an awesome project because it remains me how fast the life goes and we must make it count. Speaking of the contents in this list, actually, I don’t think they are really can be done such as “go to The North Pole”, but this list can still inspire me to keep chasing higher goals, so no matter if I can complete this list, at least I have something to strive for tomorrow, that makes my life meaningful and that’s enough. Besides, I decided to use my blog as a platform of my list since I’m not familiar with how to edit a video. Again, we’re fighting for our future and our dreams.

Personal Addition: The Great Wall

This photo was taken when I climbed The Great Wall, I think it's the most appropriate word the describe it because you are not actually walking or running on it, the feelings you have when you visit it is tired, I spent half day trying to get the end of The Great Wall but unfortunately I failed. I'd like to give it another shot if I had a chance in the future

Personal Addition: Missing winter

I miss winter so much although it was that frozen freaking cold but I still miss the feeling doing skiing and skating, it was fun and I couldn't wait for the next winter.

Personal Addition: Fancy car

I saw this fanc car on my way home today, isn't this design fantastic?  I think this kind of shape of car, which is streamlined is really cool and it makes a car look this a racing car even it's not, so enjoy it.

Personal Addition: Rocks meet ankles.

I had recently found this picture and I really really love the way it's worded and I figured I should share it with you all.

Personal addition: My hometown

This is my hometown, Weihai. A city located in the east north of China, with the natural of being a bay because it's surrounded by ocean, this is the main road by the ocean, temperature in here is warm all year long and the environment is beautiful, there is not much pollution, anyway, this city is named" the most comfortable city for people to live" by the National Unites in 1997.
