Journal Question #6
What's the best surprise so far? Okay, you've been here for three months, enough time to experience a lot of people, places, subjects, food, activities, etc. So, what has been the nicest surprise for you so far? This could be a person, an activity, a moment in time, even an aspect of yourself that you didn't know before coming to TA. Tell me your best surprise since August.

and also i can't even imagine that i got hurt on my birthday....
I love hearing about the birthday surprises! As far as "Warcraft" is concerned, I don't know anything about it. Do a lot of dorm residents play it?

I'm scared that, I met 3 crazy guys here: lilian, david and eric

I cannot forget this my 18th birthday!!!
I know most of our dorm honeys(?) paid my birthday gift.It was a Ipod~!
I was so moved. Because I even won't spend so much money on this.
So, thanks, full of happiness.
And I was also surprised by TA. I do love the environment. And I treat students as brothers/sisters, teachers as parents.

The best surprise is that we will have a holiday soon...

ReplyDeleteThe same as Leon.I hold with him forever!What a big surprise it is!In addition,I found out my English doesn't improve since I came here.This is kind of ridiculous,isn't it?I presage my friends will laugh at me because of it.Yeah,the truth is that my Chinese improved a lot.But I do meet a responsible English teacher!
ReplyDeleteI have same opinion as Leon. Because when arrive the dorm the biggest suprise is too many chinese students. But someone says we only have 20 Chinese students, but now we have 36 Chinese students.So I think my english is not improved.This is my biggest suprise!
ReplyDeletei think best surprise is that the environment here is very cool and people are very nice. and our dorm is pretty close to some resturants like KFC and SB, i can walk there everyday.
ReplyDeleteBiggest "surprise" are so many Chinese students live in residence hall and we speak chinese all the time.
ReplyDeleteBest surprise is there is a good place for roller-skating in portland. I love roller-skating.
The people who living saco is the biggest surprise. They are so nice and friendly. They are willing to help me and make friends with me. so I am gald to come to this school
ReplyDeleteThe biggest surprise for me so far is that I didn't realize that I could adjust the new environment so well before I came here. I thought I would meet a lot of problems, such as language, study or how to live by myself. But to my surprise, I can do these really well with little problem. I feel so proud of myself.
ReplyDeleteThe best surprise is from my father. It was a Christmas during my 10 year-old. I called my father to ask what time he would come back today. He said, "it'll be so late. Don't wait for me." However, I waited for him for a long time, then he didn't come back, so I went to sleep. Guess what happened in the next morning, there was a big poster on the wall for Christmas. There are also several gifts for us. I was really so happy. I really love my father.
ReplyDeletethe best surprise so far is we can drink the water anywhere of course except restroom.
