Recently, I really enjoy my life in ETC. A lot of parties, many activities, tons of tough and interesting assignments, all of these make my life so enjoyable.

最近，我非常享受在ETC的生活。很多的party，很多的活动，加上一堆恐怖、痛苦但是有趣的作业，所有的这些都让我的生活充满了乐趣。

Everyday, I wake up at 8:00am, and go to ETC by 8:45am shuttle. In the ETC building, I work to 10:15pm or 11:15pm, then come back and sleep at 1:00am. Everyday, I am struggling among BVW project, Visual Story video, fundamental and improvisational acting classes, have meeting one by one, without time to play ping pong, not even to say play PC games.

每天，我都在早上8点就起床，赶着8点45的校车去ETC。在ETC的大楼里，一直工作到晚上10点一刻或是11点一刻，然后再赶回家，在1点左右睡觉。每天，我都挣扎在BVW project, Visual Story 的 video, fundamental 和 improvisational acting 课程之间，不停地开一个接着一个的会，没有时间打乒乓，也没有时间玩游戏。

However, I am still enjoying this life, since I work hard and I play harder. There are so many exciting activities in ETC.

然而，我仍然很享受这种生活，因为我努力地工作，更努力地去玩。ETC有太多让人兴奋的事情。

In Last Thursday, Lu held a hot pot party in his apartment. It is so delicious!!!

上周四，Lu在他的家里组织了一个火锅party，实在是太～～～好吃了～～～

In last Friday, we experienced a gorgeous advanture. I rode bicycle in the moutain, played mini-golf in mini playground, experience Hummer in bumpy road, and played archery. Golf is interesting, but it is too light for me. Hummer is awesome. When we climb the slope, I can only see the sky; when we rash down the slope, I can only see the floor. It’s definitely great experience. Archery is also cool, all of my arrows hit the target, yeah~~~ although the target is really not very far away :)

上周五，我们经历了一次很棒的advanture。我在山里骑自行车，在迷你的高尔夫球场打高尔夫，在崎岖不平的路上体验悍马，还过了一把射箭的瘾。高尔夫很有趣，但是对我而言，运动量太小了。悍马真的是超赞，性能太彪悍了。当车爬坡到45度的时候，我透过车窗看到的蓝天白云；当车下坡到45度的时候，我只能看到近在咫尺的地面；当车在左右倾斜45的坡上行驶的时候，尽管戴着安全带也控制不住自己的身体。这实在是超棒的体验。射箭也很酷。所有我射出的箭都击中了靶子，耶~~~ 尽管靶子其实并不远，呵呵 :)

When we ate lunch, many people played the mechanical bull, which is so exciting!

中午吃饭的时候，很多人玩了骑牛的游戏，玩得是人仰马翻啊，哈哈！

In the afternoon, we are divided into several teams to build a paper boat, and need to boat in swimming pool from one side to another side. We made a good boat with two bags and a lot of tapes, which even have two support. Luckly, our boat is so robust that we successfully arrived at the other side :)

下午，我们被分成很多的小组，每个组要用硬纸板来造一艘船，并且最后要从游泳池的一端划到另一端。我们用了两个大塑料袋和很多的胶带造了一艘很结识的船，甚至在船身的左右还有两个起支撑作用的气囊。结果，我们真的成功地划到了游泳池的另一端，哈哈！

The supper is terrific, which is said $80 for every people. My poor tuition~~~ it is all paid by my tuition~~~ T_T

晚饭也是超赞。据说平均每个人的饭钱是80刀。额~~~我可怜的学费啊~~~这可都出自我的学费啊~~~T_T。这更坚定了我的决心，一定要使劲地玩，使劲地吃，把钱都给挣回来！

This week is tough because of our visual story video. Every people is crazy about it. Yesterday we played rough cut in the class, and it is gorgeous. Nearly every team’s video is so interesting. Some of them are really big surprises for me. It’s aaaaawesome! Every ETC student is genius.

这周对每个人而言都是很痛苦的，因为大家都被visual story的video逼的要发疯。昨天大家在课上放了各自的rough cut，哇~~~太TMD棒了。几乎每个组的video都很棒。有些组的video真的是让人有眼前一亮的感觉。太~~~棒了！！！ETC的同学实在是太有才了！美国的课程也超赞，我不但能学到技术，现在还对拍电影慢慢产生了兴趣，我们家的DV终于可以发挥余热了，呜呜~~~

Ralph, our Visual Story class teacher, will have a premier of his new film in next week. I just asked a free ticket from Cari. Hey, let’s look at how Ralph use his camera, hahaha~~~

我们Visual Story课的老师，Ralph，在下周要首映他最新的电影。我前天刚从Cari那里申请了一张免费的电影票。嘿，Ralph，你整天张牙舞爪地指责我们拍的有问题，让我们来看看你是怎么做的吧，哈哈~~~

Yesterday, it is Joan’s birthday, and we hold a small party for her. Thank Mina, who lead me to the great market and help me to choose a gift for Joan. It is a black hat with soft cloth, very warm and beautiful. At the same time, it is not expensive since it is in discount. The Cheesecake Factory is also so cool. Although food is a little expensive, the taste is awesome.

昨天是Joan的生日，我们为她举行了一个小型的party。感谢Mina，带我到South Side很棒的商店里去逛，还帮我给Joan挑选了礼物——一顶黑色的女士帽。帽子的面料很好，软软的，很暖和也很漂亮。同时，因为在打折也不是很贵，才20刀。Mina还主动提示我把打折的标签撕掉，哈哈，so nice。Cheesecake Factory也是超cool的地方，环境不错，服务也很赞。虽然食物有点贵，但是味道相当好。

I work hard, I play harder! Life is so nice!

我努力地工作，同时也更尽力的去玩！生活就是这么美好！
