Early Bird The Lunar New Year holiday is over. Today is the first work day of Rooster year. One of my new year plans is get up early ------just like a rooster. I have a bad habit: stay up late. When I studied in my university, most students would stay up in the evening. We even went to the restaurant for midnight snack. When I worked in the publishing house, it took much time to deal with some trifles, so I liked to editing the manuscript or writhing the article. Sometimes, I worked through the night. Some people likes OWL, some people likes LARKS. Maybe I was an owl, but I want to be a lark now. In the past, I felt efficient when I was working in the evening. Now, I had to play with my son or read books with him after dinner. When he went to bed, I was so tied. It was difficult for me to focus on working, I just wanted to read a novel or see a movie. On the other hand, I found myself putting somethings off. To stay up late is a symptom of procrastination! Whatever, I'd like to be an early bird:)

A Hiking Trip Today,we had a hiking trip. There're several mountains around our home. When the weather is fine, we like to climb the mountains. It took about three hours to finish the hiking trip. The pine trees are grey. It seems that the Spring is far away. My son likes to play with the kids we met in the mountain. Some kids are friendly, some kids are cold. Most Chinese kids are the only one in their family. They want to have other playmate. Next time, we'll choose a new route. There is a underground tunnel in the mountain at south of our home. It'll be a small adventure.

A Family Party We went back to my hometown,a small city 200 kilometers far from my city the day before yesterday. I had lived in the small city until I was 18 years old. My parents and my two brothers are still living there. My father,my brothers,went to another city for their university and went back after graduation. My older brother's daughter, a 18 years old girl,is learning Spanish in her college. Her parents are anxious about this thing----they hope their girl will work in the same city ,but it seems difficult to find a job which needs Spanish in the small city. The young girl ? She wants to go aboard next year. My grandmother,is 99 years old. It's a good thing. She is still very smart ,could remember many things many years ago. She likes to sit with the young children.

lunar new year Luxun had said,"lunar new year is really the new year." For Chinese people,lunar new year is an important holiday.Many people left their city and went back to their hometown. The city is so quiet. A week late,the people will come back. When I was a little girl, lunar new year is a big day . My mum will make new clothes for us and my grandmother will make delicious food for us.Now,the kids have new clothes and delicious food in normal days. Hongbao is still exist. The people give hongbao to each other in wechat or alipay. What is lunar new year for me ? a holiday, a break,a timing to clean my house and brain:)

Interesting life About two years ago,I had took Laogui's class.He is professional and nice.He discussed Man-Book Prize with me.He advised me to read Mother Goose to my boy.He told me something about MOOC. Today,we disscussed the schools in China.He said the school is too harsh for stutents and we should encourage the students to enjoy studing.He corrected my grammer and pronouncation.He is a good teacher. Laogui went to Taishan in June. I should take his class early so I could invite him to my home.

I have a cold The evening of last Sunday,I came back from my parents's home by train.When I arrived home,I had a fever.In that night,I covered myself with two carpets and hoped I can sweat.The next day,I still had a fever and the temporature reached 38.4 celsious.I began to drink ginger soap.The third day,I still had a fever and the temporature reached 39.2 celsious,so my husband gave me two pills to lower my temporature.The pills was efficient.In the eveving,my husband took me to the hospital.The doctor checked my blood and said I infected some virus but still not got bacterial infection.So I decided not to take any drug or injection.Yes,I made it.Now,my temporature is 37.5 celsious.Acorrding to traditional Chinese medical theory,when someone has a cold,his/her Yang must has been damaged.I think so because I often staied up in recent weeks.From now on,I will go to bed before 10:00 PM.

To visit my parents Last weekend,I went to visit my parents.They are living in a small city .The distance between my home and my parents's home is about 200 kilometers.Both of my parents retired many years.My father was an engineer and my mother was a teacher.My father like traveling,and often travel to other city.My mother did not like traveling,she likes sewing.But she went to travel every time for she loves my father.Now,they can't travel,because they have to take care of my gradmother who is 97 years old . I love my parents.They believe me and trust me.They taught me how to build a family.
