星期六和星期日在元宵节会的某摊子做part-time. 工作内容是路人调查和玩沙包（tip-tack- toe）游戏。玩游戏时不断蹲下拾掉在地上的小沙包，几个小时的“普通”运动造成了今天双膝的酸痛， 不常运动的下场。话说今年的元宵节会很热闹，起码比新年前的街会热闹多了！很多摊位送免费赠品，可惜要工作没时间排队拿。。。 买了一盒夹心饼干，其实是为了那个有漂亮花样的粉红色环保袋^^
花样：
最后送上一张朋友拍的人潮街照：

spoiled or stupid?
When I walked passed the group piano class, I stopped with curiosity.
The piano teacher handed an eraser to a cute little girl and told her to erase the music notes on the margin of her worksheet. I think she wrote the wrong notes or something. Anyways, it was the main point.
The important point was the little girl's reply: "I don't know how to erase notes."
I was so shocked!
The teacher was shocked too. after a short silent pause, she said:" ....Alyssa, how old are you?"
Alyssa:" five."
teacher:"... I have students who are three years-old and they know how to erase notes."
Alyssa:...
teacher:" I teach you how." then she held the girl's hand with an erase and said:" just erase it harder ...and eventually it'll be gone..."
don't know how to describe it, but I felt that Alyssa is not really that stupid, she just didn't want to do it and was hoping/expecting the teacher would erase the marks for her.
Evidence?
here:
ten minutes later, I walked passed the classroom again and saw ...
teacher: " Alyssa, you haven't finish it. you only did four..."
alyssa:"..........(I forgot what her excuse was )
teacher:" but others did five, it's not fair that only you did four..."
conclusion: a lazy brat>o<

I'm back!
Left for half year, I'm back now!
-----
Since spring semester started, I was busy adding classes and setting the class schedule. Today I finally got my schedule settled. Next Tuesday I'll meet with an EOPS counselor to get a book voucher, which is $275 and will pay off about 2/3 of my textbooks fee, and I'll have to cover the rest. This semester I'm taking English, Psychology of children and adolescence, Music Appreciation and Macroeconomic. Same as last semester, I couldn't get in chem40. All the chem40 classes were closed before my registration date arrived. On the first day when I was tried to add into the class, I found out there were 40 more students waiting to get into the class...the saddest thing is that their registration day was in mid November and mine is in December...T_T Teacher adds students according to their registration date, and it is not fair for people whose last name places very behind, like my last name, Zhong.
Z is the last alphabet. I really like Z though.
btw, I discover that people who aren't native English speaker pronounce my name more accurate than the native English speakers^^ For instance, Mr. Gueye, an African American teacher from Macroeconomic class who speaks English with somewhat strong accent, says my full name amazingly accurate! I was so impressive!!! And like today when my English teacher took attendance and called my name, at first I thought she was calling somebody else, but it sounded familiar, so I asked her to spell out the name, and it was my name=.= I don't blame her, because I know it's really hard for most Americans to pronounce my name which is a weird combination of z(3), h(3), u(2), i, o, n and g.
