Summer vacation

The summer vacation is around the corner.
Unlike last year, I decide to save money which means I don't go to France for the two months. Honest speaking, I'm really sad for that. Because it has been one year since I came back from Paris last September. I do miss Paris a lot. The atmosphere is really amazing and relaxing. I can't even forgot the wonderful walking in the paris street. It is anything but beautiful! I miss it~ and sadly I couldn't go this year.
Due to the economic crisis, the possibility of being jobless is growing. Althought Im just the sophomore of university, I still think it's better to get totally ready for the job market.
So~ What will I do during the summer vacation?
Actually, in my mind I think ~~ taking courses of learning photoshop and illustrater is really good and of course improving my english writing ability is the most important thing for me.
Just~
I wonder, whether there are some good cram schools for computers and English in Kaohsiung? I do need some recommendation, suggestion for that.
I will be so happy if anyone can help me with that~
Thanks for every kindness!!

#Assignment 10: Comment on the" Academic Earth"

Among the two websites teacher just offered us, I choose the Academic Earth .The reason is that I have already tried a little bit of MIT open courseware website before. And I found out that most of their management department has no video lectures. I was quite disappointed by that. So as soon as teacher sally provided us another website which has the same function as MIT open courseware , without hesitate I choose to experience this website which is called " Academic Earth "
I'm pretty surprised that this website offers so many videos other than engineering major. And I do love it. I found a nice video (actually it is divided into some vedios because the process of the class is questioning. So the videos are divided into questions and answering.
I saw three of them and they are all answered by a professor called"Guy Kawasaki" from the stanford university. All of them are very interesting. He shared his experience and gave his idea about whether to get a MBA or not, or whether to start your career to work in the investment banking and so on . It is really helpful and I learned a lot from it.
I love this website more than the MIT . Because I can really find the video files about my major. And they also can offer different kinds of thinking because they cover five universities from different areas. I think it can be quite interesting to know different kind of thinking from a management major unvirsity to an engineering school.
I found it fansnating and I will choose some every week to know the programs I don't learn from school.
Also, because this website doesn't offer you the texts the professor said. So this can be a good chances to train my english listening and noting skills.
I will make good use of this website and hope I can really learn something from it by paying no money ^^.

The French family reunion~~~ dont la Taiwan!!!!!

C'est tres bon!!!
I'm so happy for the reunion especially that this time it happened in taiwan!!!!!!
The happiness has appeared since they arrived~ It's magic~~

The weekend with them is fantastic.(now I found out that my english is poor because I can't exactly describe my feeling with it) I simply know it is full of pleasure and excitement.
The reunion happened at 5/15. I still remember when mom open the door of the car to say hello!~ So funny!!
Just my ankle is not that lucky~ they are a little bit weak but they still can go hiking~ crazy^^
Now they are still in Taiwan~~now so far away^^
The only sadness is that my French is still not good enough........
But I believe that as long as I follow the courses I have taken and practice at least two hours a week(maybe too little), one day , I will be able to chat easily with my french mom^^
Mom!! Waiting for me^^
And ~~
Bien sur, I bless all of you have a nice weekend and my cute,lovely family a so good VACATION A TAIWAN!

After searching a little bit on the website: Radiotime
http://radiotime.com/index.aspx
I found a interesting radio program which is about of course "JAZZ"
~I'm A big fan of JAZZ~ j'adore la Jazz!

The name of the radio program is : The WAVE-Smooth Jazz 94.7
http://player.play.it/player/player.html?id=69
The program when I listen to this site is called: The Quiet Storm
The host is : Dave Baker
And the details of this program are as follow:
Let Mique Mann tuck you and your special one in every Sunday thru Thursday in the Quiet Storm. Give your love shout outs, dedications and request, and there is also the Apology Line for everyone that ain't been straight with the one you love.


I fall in love with this radio, because this is exactly what I want and what Im searching for a period of time. It's because Im used to listen to the music while Im working or doing something, then I especially love jazz or smooth music. So this is exactly what I want.
