11 Rules for Living

Rule 1
Life is not fair; get used to it

Rule 2
The world won't care baout your self esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3
you will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. you won;t be a vice president with a car phone, until you earn both.

Rule 4
If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.

Rule 5
Flipping buger is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for buger flipping; they called it opportunity.

Rule 6
If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7
Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. they got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes, and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rainforest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try "delousing" the clost in your own room.

Rule 8
Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. this doesn;t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

RUle 9
LIfe is not divided into semesters. You don;t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10
Television is NOT real life. In real life, people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to job.

Rule 11
Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

Communicating via Blog

i strongly believe that the blog component of this course is very interesting and unique. it definitely should remain as a component of this course. it not only helps us to review what we did in the class actives, but also gives us a chance to know other students' though. like many English as second language students, i don't feel comfortable to share my ideas in such a large classroom. For others, they may don't have the chances to share their views, since we have so many students. By writing those blog entries, i think we really find a place to share our points of view. After read and reply others' blog, i feel that i am really a part of the class, not someone just sit there and listen to prof talks. furthermore, i also learn a lot from others' idea. The blog assignments push us really to think about what happened in the class active and how it relates to the theory we learned in the class. i believe it also helps us to prepare for the exam, because some of the exam questions were related to the blog assignments.
Write some blog entries and we can earn a 20% of the final grades is truly a great idea. if the midterm and final cover all of our grades, i feel really anxieties for the exam since it is very important. By just simply write several blogs, we can improve our overall grade.
i will continue post my thought or ideas thought blogger. Blogging is a easy way to share my ideas.
