I'm so late for my dairy, because recently I've been very busy.
I have two different topics for 5-min speechs on Oct 22 and 30.
It's definitely a nightmare to me.
Also, midterm will be on Oct. 29, 30 and Nov. 4.
I feel stressed out and don't have enough time and energy to prepare well.
I am missing home badly. ~><~

Chris was our substitute teacher who lectured in Reading
and Power English Class today.
We all love Jennifer, of course, but Chris is energetic and enthusiastic.
And it was the first time that we played a game in Power English class.
Therefore, everyone seemed livelier today.
Although we were in a higher level class,
we still wanted to learn English in interesting ways, after taking formal classes.
I borrowed Nicole’s Skpye to call my grandmother back tonight.
She is so happy to hear my voice and I also miss her and worry about her health.
Nicole said it’s so familiar to hear my grandmother’s voice
and she also misses my grandmother’s cooking,
because Nicole and I were classmates in high school
and she used to come to my home before.

After class, Rita, Penny and I walked to a Halloween costume shop
for about 20 or 30 minutes.
We are still considering if we should have costumes on Halloween
because we’re not sure if we will join a party at that time,
and most costumes are expensive.
However, it is a rare chance to spend Halloween in America.
Maybe it will be just once in my life.
And, I’d like to have fun and take pictures with everybody,
but Tim said, “No costume, no party,
and no one wants to take pictures with a person who has no costume.”
Therefore, I guess I need to get one.

I will give my 5-min. speech in Power English Class today
and my topic is “Comparison and Contrast between Dogs and Cats.”
I’m going to talk about their similarities and differences.
I am always super afraid and nervous to give a speech in front of people.
I took the Speech class at college three years ago
and it has been my nightmare ever since.
After working in the company, I realize I can’t always evade it.
I know I will still be nervous, but maybe I will conquer it after practicing many times.

I got a bad news this afternoon.
My sister said our house is going to be pulled down on November 17th this year
because the government wants to build MRT (Mass Rapid Transit).
Before I came to America ,
they said they would be doing it on June or July this year.
However, it didn’t happen,
so everyone said our house probably wouldn’t be pulled down.
Unexpectedly, it is about to be pulled down in November.
When I told my boyfriend this news, I suddenly felt sad and cried
because I just thought of my room will be gone.
I will never see it and
I don’t know where my home will be after I come back to Taiwan.
Besides, my boyfriend used to be a strong man,
but he has been sick since I came to America .
Today he couldn’t help crying and said, “I miss you so much. Come back to me.”
I feel so sorry to him and miss him so mush, too, but I can’t go back to Taiwan now
because I’ve just been here for one month and I haven’t learned English very well yet.
I hope everything will be all right.
