In college life, you can’t avoid cooking for yourself. I think it’s very unhealthy to eat fast food every day. So in the New Year, I hope I can learn how to cook. The first dish I tried was fried steak. My mom says that cooking steak seems difficult, but it’s really easy. First, I defrost the steak from the fridge. When the steak is not tough enough, take out the butter, pan and other tools and spices necessary for frying steak. Everything is ready, I will put on the apron, with the help of my mother turned on the fire, put the butter in the pot to melt, let the steak. As soon as the steak goes down, listen to the sound of the steak and the pan tingling. I first cooked the steak on one side, and then carefully turned the steak on the other side, slow fry. This is, many oil points such as bullets to the pot “shooting”. Among them, many hit my hand, I ah, hand almost let go of the spatula. Once the steak is cooked, I add the black pepper juice to allow the beef to absorb. It’s finally done. I fried an egg on the side of the steak, filled it with rice, doused it with black pepper sauce, and finished. Eating my own steak, delicious! And then I invited my best friend to try, and she said it’s smells so good!

Last week, my friend asked me to accompany her to a ballet performance, I didn’t want to go at first, because I was busy that day. But on second thought, I watched “Swan Lake” when I was young, and I have always loved ballet, so my friends and I are looking forward to this performance. I’m not very familiar with the ballet and, in addition to the classroom, the teacher said, will divide the two steps to perform ballet, one is variation performance, is the dancer on one foot, there are two or more single action or composite action in a certain order, direction, combined with changes in speed and magnitude of the continuity of the slide, stretch, kick, jump. Rotation. Beyond that, I know very little.
So I looked up some information on the Internet, and I found that ballet, like hip-hop, can also be divided into several types, such as solo dance, pas de deux dance, triple dance, quadruple dance and group dance. The two dances above are solo dances. In addition, I have found that ballet has had two aesthetic views throughout its history. First, some people believe that ballet is “a geometric pattern of several people dancing together.” This view completely focuses on the formal beauty of ballet, without considering the content or plot of ballet, and simply pursues superb and gorgeous skills. Until the middle of the 18th century, this view dominated ballet writing. It’s kind of like, I think ballet is beautiful, and I don’t see what it’s about. Another view emphasizes that ballet is a “dramatic dance “, which is most intensively represented by Norwell’s theory of” dramatic ballet “. He thinks in a dance works, dance to dramatic content, “the plot and the choreography to maintain unity, have a logical, intelligible stories as a central theme, has nothing to do with the plot of the solo dance and dance pieces have to cancel”, in the ballet “is not only a brilliant dance technology, must through the dramatic performance, moved the audience from the aspects of mood” ~ the two perspectives, I also the second point, because, I think dance, ballet, in particular, is to through the modelling of rhythm, dance, music rhythm, gestures, and gestures to express true feelings, if just the pursuit of beautiful expression skills, then it will let the dancers dancing feel mechanical and boring, it is against the purpose of the dance.
In a word, this inquiry, let me learn a lot about ballet, I benefit a lot.

This was the first midterm I took in college, and the pattern of the exams was completely different from what I had previously taken in high school. In high school, all of our midterms were scheduled on the same day or two, and all of our classes were on the same schedule, so it was easier to plan my revision. But after I came to university, the midterms for each course were on different dates, and some were not even in the same week, so the timeline for revision became very long, which was a bit uncomfortable for me, so I needed to use some unique university study resources to help me plan my revision.

Our university has many large libraries where students study quietly and without disturbing each other, which is a good place to study for midterms. The next step was to divide my revision plan into several small projects to complete step by step. First, I made a study guide to help me review systematically, listing all the knowledge I had studied so that I could find the corresponding topics and knowledge points at once. The second thing is to mark out the important knowledge points, so that I can have a general concept of the knowledge points that may be tested in my mind.

Whenever I encountered some keywords and knowledge points that I was not familiar with, I would go to my own study guide and search for them, and look at the overall chain of related knowledge points, which allowed me to keep in mind what I had learned throughout my study at work.

The subject that was more difficult for me was sociology, but with the help of my friends, I still got full marks. I feel very happy about it. The day before the exam, I reviewed with my friends until three in the morning. I had to take another exam before sociology, so I was very tired that day. But the thought of going out with my friends after these exams keeps me motivated. At one o ‘clock in the afternoon, my exams were finally over and I could relax a little. I went to buy Halloween costumes with my friends and ate my favorite hot pot.

In addition to the intense review, I will also go to see the scenery with my friends to relax.

In the third week after I came to Irvine, I did my first midterm work in a short time. My friends and I went to Disney Town to relax. We are very looking forward to, along the way, we are happy to discuss the project to play for a while. Near the park, we felt the strong atmosphere, everyone dressed up very cute. In the midst of this joyous atmosphere, we found ourselves at the ticket barrier. Ticket aunt wish we have a good time, a door, found inside a strong Halloween atmosphere. All the dolls and street scenes were dressed up as Halloween. We first took a lot of photos and then queued up. The roller coaster we really wanted to play needed to queue up for an hour, but we still chose to queue up. An hour passed quickly, and finally it was our turn to ride the exciting roller coaster. At first, we were very nervous. Soon, the roller coaster flew off like a rocket. I saw a rise, a fall, a turn in a circle, very exciting. After getting off the roller coaster, MY head felt so heavy that I could hardly walk steadily, but I still wanted to play again. Next, we went to the next restaurant for lunch, we ate pasta, I think this restaurant is one of the best in Disney. We wanted to go to another restaurant because there was a show, but we forgot to make a reservation. After lunch, we went to more projects, but none of them were as fun as the first roller coaster. At this time, and it was 5 o ‘clock in the afternoon, my friends and I took a lot of photos, especially with the Halloween pumpkin photo. It’s very Halloween. After a while, the weather was not so warm as in the daytime, we felt very cold, so we went to the indoor shop and bought some souvenirs. Next, we went to see Disney’s very distinctive fireworks, it was very beautiful.
The day was soon over, and it was time to re-engage in intense study. I think college life is still very colorful.

Hi, my name is Jialin He. I come from China and moved to Seattle 4 years ago, so my family is currently living in Seattle. I love our school and it’s been my dream school when I was a freshman in high school, so I am very exciting about this new life; but I am also nervous about it, I heard studying in college is way more harder than high school.

I haven’t decided what major I want study, but I am very interested in Business Information Management and media major. I met a lot of new friends during Orientation; my new peers are all so nice, and our advisor helped me a lot. My roommate whos also from China is very cute, and we love the same kpop boy group which is awsome. We have been sending texts to each other through all summer, so I believe we could be the best roommate.

In this quarter, I hope I could enrolled in Ics 31 class. My GPA goal in this quarter is get above than 3.8; and my the other goal is made a lot of friends, not only Chinese friend, but also other countries’ friends.
