Final Post of This Blog!!!!

In these past few months, we've been blogging about the books we were reading. It was a neat experience to do it. I've always loved reading.
The books I've read:
The Book Thief
The Little Prince
边城(Border City)
围城
天龙八部
红楼梦
As I talked about it before, I'm a really slow reader in English, it took me extra long to finish the first book.
My future about reading seems pretty bright. I used to finish one book a day, and that book is usually more than 500 pages.
Grand total time: 18 hours.

My Experience of This Blog.

When I first heard about this project, I was thinking that this is impossible for me to do. Although I love to read, but I do not like to read in English. For me, reading English is not reading, is it studying. I read the words in the book but do not get them. The day that this project started, I went to the local library to find myself a good book. I got The Book Thief. It was an interesting book, but as I said, I hate reading English. Then I talked to my mother, asked her if she could send me some books. Her package got here 2 weeks later, after I almost finish the first book that I totally did not understand. Then I started reading in my own language. I read very fast in Chinese, but I don't have enough time to read. Time might be a biggest problem for me in this project.

Reading time this week: 1 hour.
Total time: 16 hours.

Make a Movie!

There is movie out there for that book I was reading already, but I have not watched it yet. If I were the director, I would chose my own main actors and actresses.
Iwould like her to be my main actress, because she has a really innocent little girl look in the other movie. Her name is Zhang Jingchu.
I am really not sure about those two brothers because it is hard to picture the actors I know in their shoes.
I have read 0.5 h this week.

What I Have Read During Spring Break.

I did not read much during the spring break, because I went to DC with a lot of people. The only thing that I really read was the hand book that Mrs. Miller gave us. It was about the places that we would go through on the trip. It included details of Jefferson's home and Washington's home, the memorials in DC area, etc. All the students edited this hand book before we went on the trip, it was a good way to help us know what we were doing.
I have read 0.5 hour during the break.

Expectations.

That was an oops week... but I got what I was expecting at first. They are too far away from each other, not the distance, but their environment and their family. Their friends would look at them weird and the neighbors would look at them as a joke, they would think that this couple would not last very long because of their major differences.
I have read 1 hour during the week before spring break.
