First exam at RuG

I took the fist exam at RuG. International Economics and Trade. There are 20 MC and 4 open questions. The Multiple choice questions are more difficult than open questions. It has to explain the answer. I can't remember what is 'effective protection'.

The 4 open questions have to answer 3 of them. It is also very hard to explain the different model and different effect.

Billy left the tennis hall earlier than me. She said she waited for me outside and looked at me who looked like I was concentrated on writing the answers.

Although, i still have the last exam at next Wed, Nov 4. But tonight I had no mood to study. I decided to look for the traveling information to Duesseldorf and Cologne. I read many good blog which talks about the trip to these two places. Lei Mengzhen helped us to book the hostel. But on the other hand, Lee zhen said he can't join the trip since he has class on Fri. It was really a bad news. If I can know it earlier, maybe we can book the ticket for 4 days, which from Fri to Mon.

Today, I learned a lesson. I have to make sure how many people can join the trip before book the train ticket!

Tomorrow is the last day of October. I invited Grace to my kitchen to cook the lunch. We haven't seen each other for a long time. So it will be good to see her again. In addition, my roommate and her boyfriend may not want to stay in the kitchen tomorrow. ha ha That's much better.

Monday : wish a lucky week

I wake up early this morning to Albert Hijen. AH is my last choice to shop but I want to shop at AH this time. The bred is cost .99 euros which is fine for me. I bought melk which cost .45. But i took a risk to buy an expensive cereal. From now on, I want to lose weight and exercise more. I need to eat fruits everyday to stay healthy.

There is one bad thing that I have over spent my budget in this month.I felt frustrated about it. I should remember my goal. I should not eat the mona puddings since it cost 1 euro which is a bit expensive.

Frustated on Sunday Morning (and weekly diary)

Today the university library did not open this morning. I got up early this morning to go to library. But it was closed without mentioning why it did not open. I felt frustrated about it. I want to study in the library.

It is the 3rd week in September. I had register at ACLO and spent 47 euros for the membership. I am looking forward to take one of the sports classes at ACLO. I played volleyball with Xuen zi on Tuesday after we've finished doing part of our assignments. I think ACLO is a small sports centrum since there is few space and the reservation always be full very soon. I wish I can play tennis or volleyball with my friends next time.

I had a feeling of happiness when I got a message from facebook which my old classmates encouraged me on my studying. He is a nice. I also like Pei-Yi that she had ask me how was I so far. I wish we could meet each other at Netherlands soon next year. She will attend RSM at Rotterdam next semester.

My friend Billy is a nice girl. I've told her I don't want to eat dinner at my kitchen for my roommate and her boyfriend stayed at the kitchen. She invited me to her place to have dinner on Wednesday night. We had rice served with beef. A Chinese boy and a Germany girl had dinner with us. We talked about the prohibition of speaking Chinese in their kitchen. I think it is a interesting idea. Billy gave a good dinner experience so I will make a good dish to her next time.

I felt frustrated that I could not print out the strategic management article from school computers. I had to know why I could not print those academic articles and case study.
My team is responsible for the mini-case of Int. strategic management course. We had read a H&M case from Business Week. Cobe searched the article online. We had to design our question and analyze its globalization strategy. I had to collect more information and data in order to write my short papers.

Who knows what could happen? I went to the city hall on Thursday to register for BNA number. When I filled the form, the woman asked me if I am married. I answered no. She said 'you never know'. I laughed and found it was an interesting answer. Later that I told this thing to my friend. He said ' you have to answer ''not yet'' since ''no'' is an answer that means you will never married' . While I was considering what will I answer next time, I learnt that marriage means different here.

I was afraid that I will become fat in the end if I eat lots of the Mona puddings. I bought three different flavor Mona puddings from Super de Boer. Vanilla, strawberry and koffle. I do not like koffle. I want to buy the straplewalffle pudding next time.

Many students received the IKEA product menus on Friday. I decided to go to IKEA again and bought a small pillow and candles. Butter smelling candles are awesome. I used one and the room is full of butter cream smelling. Maybe I could sent one to Tifany, my French friend. Today she will give a a French dessert. I am so happy.

I had to finish my mini-case paper on Sunday. Right information is the key factor to contribute to my paper.

Next Saturday will be a one-day trip to Amsterdam. I really looking forward to it.
