I think all of us in UPA are looking forward to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday for a long time. Most of my friends in this class are first time to come to the U.S. I think they might need some help for traveling or shopping somewhere in that holiday. For me, I went to Chicago last semester in the Thanksgiving holiday and I got lots of fun there. I went to see the Cloud Gate, shopping in the outlets, enjoy my hometown food in the China town in Chicago. I also enjoy driving by the way, I enjoy taking my friends to somewhere we all like it. I'm a reassuring driver in my circle of friends, they all like to go somewhere with me because they all feel comfortable in my car. In this holiday, I'm planing to go to the Chicago again and try to find some fun there, go to somewhere I didn't travel to before.
I always had a yearning to go to somewhere I didn't travel to. In the U.S, I want to go to the Seattle because I think that is a really beautiful place that lots of people would like to choose there to be their vacationland. I will go there in the summer if I have enough time, however it is not likely because I will have my summer classes next year. How disappointed.
Whatever, I hope all of us include my professors will have a good vacation next week. I wish they all will have a good time in the Thanksgiving holiday.

This weekend I started writing my first draft of research paper. My topic is charactor analysis of Coco Chanel. I think she is a very famous designer in the world and also she got a lot of influence with her products. I think this paper is not difficult to write because I know her very much. However, it is also not that easy because everybody know her very well, that makes me have to write some thing that other people don't know, to get more points for my paper.
I spent one day stay in the library and try to find some information about her, then I learned a lot from those books I found. It's different between the U.S paper's rules and Chinese university's rules. In China, students can use others opinion without citations, and also we don't have to give a reference. These rules are completely opposite in the U.S. However, I think the rules here in America is better because the original author should be respected.
I hope I could get a good grade on my final research paper. Fighting!

Today I leaned how to cook some new Chinese traditional foods from my mother on the phone. Then I tried to cook them, and I made it. They were very delicious, my friends and I were enjoying it very much. I hope some days all my friends can try my food and I'm very confident they'll all enjoy them.
Traditional Chinese food is not very difficult to cook, the first secret is just be confident and try the new type of cooking. I know that almost all the people around the world like to eat Chinese food, however they don't have enough time to cook. That's a problem. I hope all the people can eat what they want in the future.

Human has been fight against the rare disease from of old until now, however no disease cannot be solved. The medical scientist is very powerful that can help us find all kind of cure. We should be gratefully and thank to them.

Today I watched a movie names The Giver with my friends. I was shocked. I got lots of different thoughts after watched this movie. It's different between the movie and the book we read before. I was touched by the actors in the movie. After read this book, I was hope that I can be Jonas in that movie to help those people to feel the real world, instead of living in that community. I would like to be a adventurer like Jonas, especially for a better world for the humanity.

The trip to Peoria
We are going to the Peoria this weekend, I am so excited because I heard that I'll be able to buy some Chinese food there. I miss my hometown's favor very much so I'm going to see what can I find there.
There are lots of differences between Chinese food and American food. For example, for Chinese food people don't usually use too much meat like American food. And I prefer eat vegetables also.
As for the main food, American people like to eat bread or rice sometimes. But in my hometown, we prefer eat "mantou", a kind of food that very difficult to find it in the America.
My purpose this weekend is to make my refrigerator full of "mantou". Because the winter is coming I will not be able to go to other town in the heavy snow. I have to save some food to spend the time in winter.

I went to spring lake with my friends today but we did not have a great time in there. Because one of my friend lost her phone and we tried 3 times to help her find her phone, however we cannot find anything. Then we left sadly, she was planning her new phone at that time. Thankfully I have a app names "Find my iPhone", it gives the important message to the people who found her phone. Finally, a man called my phone and told me his position, then I got there and have her phone back.
It is a really dramatic day for us, we all feel so tired right now.
Winter is coming
Sunday, September 14, 2014
Everyone is talking about the winter these days include me, because it become colder and colder now. My classmate who are from Brazil named Lucas said he never feel this cold weather before because in his hometown in Brazil is very warm and even very hot. It's difficult for people to get used to a new situation like the weather. However, some of my classmates like the cold weather, they told me they never wore the thick clothes before so they want to feel the cold weather here in Macomb, so they can dress their new clothes now, it's very funny. In my hometown in China, we have four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter. But our winter is not as cold as here, also we don't have so much snow like here. However, I like the winter here because the heavy snow make Macomb more beautiful, I'm enjoying it. For my suggestion, my classmates who are from some warm places should get more warm dressed because it is not that interesting when they get a cold.
Stopping Ebola
Friday, September 5, 2014
The disease named Ebola appeared in West Africa, all over the world should be on guard against it. The article "window to stop Ebola outbreak is 'closing quickly,' official warns" expound the perfect situation about this disease and get some results from the official and the doctors. From the article we can know the CDC says more needs to be done to fight Ebola before it's too late. It's not easy for people or the doctors to keep away from that disease for find the cure. A doctor from CDC pointed that "the number of cases is so large, the epidemic is so overwhelming and it requires an overwhelming response", he told the reporters Tuesday after returning to the U.S. Monday from a trip to the affected countries. In case of Ebola will continue to increase, Frieden said they decide to despite the efforts of health workers from the affected countries and elsewhere. And now the Ebola is becoming a global problem, some countries is in danger, which means the closing off affected like Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Also because of there's lack of space, the groups of doctors have to turn away the infected people and treating patients by the high number of cases. All the people from all over the world will face this challenge together, and we're sure this virus can be brought under control. Other people should help the infected people with many areas, also they should be given the assistance of modern medicine and the aid.

My name is Dongmao Li. I’m from
China. I came to Macomb last year in the summer. My American friends like to
call me Red, my English name, my professors also would like to call me that
because my Chinese name is too difficult to pronounce, also they said my red
hair make them would like to call me that.
I am a transfer student, and I was a basketball
player in my university in China about 5 years ago. After I hurt my knee, I
quit my career. Although I cannot play basketball as well as before, playing
and watching basketball are still my favorite things to do. I like watching
America basketball games like NBA or NCAA, Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan are
my favorite players.
As for my free time, I usually stay at home and
player video games with my friends, or go to the gym for working out. That
makes me feel like my free time always gone so soon.
The United States is the only one country that
I have traveled except my home country. I like U.S. very much especially
Macomb, because I like the quiet place but I don’t like the big city like
Beijing in China. The big cities in China are very crowded and noisy., they
make me feel much uncomfortable. Also the environment here in America is much
better than in China because China has too much factories, I can find lots of stuffs are made in China here in the US. All in all, I feel
very good in America so far.
My goal in the WIU is to graduate from here,
get a good GPA. As for my long-term goals, I’ll back to China and try to find a
good job. I don’t have some good dreams like to be the great people or do some
great things, my dream in the future is just try to be rich and help the poor
people out of trouble. That’s why I choose the finance to be my major, I think
learning Finance is a good way to know how to manage money. That will be the
precondition of how to be a rich man I guess.
