Journal #27 Many thanks in Thanksgiving

First at all, I guess that we don’t need to write the journal during the big holiday. However, I am so wrong…. Too sad.

Thanksgiving is a traditional holiday in US to give thanks to God at the conclusion of the harvest season. In the end of this year, I would like to give my thanks for my parents, my friends, and myself.

My parents, who support me with their entire heart and love, provide the budget for me pursuing further education. They always are my IRON backup for all the decisions I made. Thank you for giving me so many things not only the money but also the big big love!

My friends, sure, they have been here with me all the time. We laugh, cry, and share the most emotional feelings together. Thank you for bring my life joyful and happiness.

Myself. I worked so hard this year. I did, saw and felt so many things in this year. Thank myself for tasting the sweet and bitter in this year.

Journal #25 Research Paper…

We choose “Coptic” language for our research paper. Our group found out 3 books in the library and each person took one for research. The research paper is very difficult for me because I do not have any linguistic background. I have no idea how to start this research so I google “Coptic language” and find a very good website. This website contained much information about Coptic language such as history and definition. I also go to the wikipedia looking for some information. I am happy because there are many useful recourses, but I still need to read all and try to organize the information.

Journal #24 Scary Story

When I was young, the most popular games was playing “pen spiritual”. The “pen spiritual” or “money spiritual” game is just like the “OUIJA Board” in U.S.. We needed to prepare a paper, which wrote several words such as “Yes”, “No”, or some numbers, a pen or money, and 2 or 3 people. The pen spiritual can tell you the fortune and all most everything you want to know. We played it a lot and in every where, even in the school and had a lot of fun. However, since this spooky thing, I never had this kind of games until now.

One day, my sister and I came back from school in afternoon and we felt very boring, so we decided to play the pen spiritual together. We prepared the pen and paper, and started calling the spiritual to answer our questions. Everything seems quiet and peaceful until my sister asked the spiritual his last name. He circled one of the letters and we felt scared because he must be someone died in front of our house, and his funeral was still running at that day. My sister and I tried to send him back but it was difficult to send him back. We were terrified by the spiritual a lot. Finally, we send him back, but we were exhausted and tired. After this case, we never played such kind of games.
