Have fun with me!

Are you ready for the final? This is almost the end of this semester. I guess everyone is busy for his or her finals? When you feel tired, how about have some fun stuff here?

Thank you so much for leaving commends for me.

Thank you very much for leaving some words for me. I am so sorry that I give you my response very late, because I always expect to get some messages from my readers, however everytime I am just disappointed, then I become to ignore this part. Today I am so excited to notice that I have got 3 comments from my dear readers, so I decided to share my happiness with all of my readers and hope all of you can give me some commends. No matter how many words you leave for me, I will be very happy as you let me know that some people are care of me, notice me and support me, so I will try my best to write down my study experience, my recent life and my fresh thought.

I am worried about if the persons who left some comments for me cannot see my responses because I didn't answer them for a long time, so I will post my responses here and hope they can see them.

To steve mills: To be honest, I never tried Bigwords.com before. As you mentioned it was very popular on the youtube, so probably I will try it next semester and compare the price with other websites. Maybe after the first shopping, I can tell you if it is good or not.

To dongjae: You are very welcome. I'd like to share all my useful information with you, if you have any questions, you can also ask me through my blog.:-) This semester I am super busy, however I really enjoy such kind of life. How's yours going?

To you sung: It is ok. I really enjoy to do such kind of things. If you have other questions, please do not hesitate to ask me. God bless you too.

Where get your textbooks?

School will start soon and long summer vacation will finish in short time. Are you ready for school? Now that you may know where you are going to school, it is time to get ready for those pesky classes. And of course that means time to spend some money, stand in line to get the heavy textbooks. Now I will tell you some secrects, so you can get textbooks in fast, easy and also in Low price.

1. To know what textbooks you will need for your classes.
Please go to My ASU@ https://weblogin.asu.edu/cgi-bin/login?callapp=https%3A%2F%2Fwebapp4.asu.edu%2Fmyasu%2F%3Finit%3Dfalse, then use your user name to login. You will find my classes column and click books, so you can get the book information for your classes.

2. To buy the textbooks you need.
As a student, we don't have so much money. The best way of saving money for the textbooks is to buy the used books. The information is the same but the price is less. You can buy it from ASU bookstore, also you can search online. Amazon.com and Abebook.com are good choice for you. After comparing the price between bookstore and online, you may make decision.
By the way, if you have GA position, you can get 10% discount in ASU bookstore. It is really good for you.

This is the information I know. I hope it can help you a lot. Have a successful academic year! :-)

San Diego!

Summer vacation is summer vacation. Although I have to work in this summer, I still have a lot of fun. During the July 4th holiday, I went to San Diego to meet my uncle's family. I didn't see them for 2 years as we were very busy and they live in switzerland far from here. San Diego's weather is really cool, but the sunshine is super intensive. I just lay on the beach for 1 hour, my skin was peeled. While it is worthy. The scenery of the beach is beautiful and I really enjoyed the time with my uncle's family.

How's your summer vacation?

How time flies, the summer vacation has passed almost 1/2. How's your summer vacation? very interesting? excited? wonderful? boring? I know some of my friends really enjoy their summer vacation. some are doing the internships in the local governments; some are travelling around the US or other countries; some are as volunteers working in the NGOs. While some friends really miss school, so they are taking summer classes right now. Dilligent students.:-)

I guess you may be interested in what I am doing in this summer. If I go back to China; if I am in other states? No, except the San Diego trip, I will stay in AZ for the whole summer. As now I really love here. AZ is hot, but not humid. I still remember when I first came to AZ, I feel so sad. A blast of hot air hit me as I stepped off the plane. However as days passed by, I become loving here. The other reason for me to stay here is that I am working for our school this summer.

Do you know how excited I was when I heard that I could work for our school during this summer. My main task is to help Chris and Dena deal with some students' affairs. Before this job I really have no idea how tedious it is. Everyday they almost reply hundreds of emails from students, staffs and faculties in different fields related to our school. They have to built every MPA and Phd student's file, answer tens of phones per day, and so on. In short, they do everything related to the students. From various task they assigned to me, I really gain a lot.

I miss you guys, hope to see you soon and enjoy your summer.

Congratulations to the graduates.

On May 8th, I attended the celebration of graduation in college of public programs. I am so happy that some of my friends got his or her Master degree in public administration. Congratulations to the graduates.
