Catching mice I have been bothered by the mice who enter into our room at night after we turn off lights. My roommate is very frightened of "the uninvited friends". The other night I was waken up by the little scream from my roommate who saw a mouse walking on our desk. I was too sleepy and fell asleep soon. But this insident occurred several times in the night. The next morning we saw some water on the desk which obviously was the pee left by the mouse. We felt so disgusted that we decided to do something to disperse them. We bought a mousetrap made by a thick paper inside of which was adhesive. I put it on the desk last night, I also prepared some chicken meat on the mousetrap to attract the mice. At midnight I was waken up again by the scream definitely originating from a mouse. I got up and turned on the lights and found out the mouse trapped on the paper. My roommate wanted to take a picture of the trapped mouse from her bed, saying the mouse was disguting. I ignored her request and quickly rolled the mousetrap and threw it to the garbage can outside. My roommate was relieved. She fell asleep so soon that I could hear her loud sound of snoring. I couldn't understand why she was so afraid of the mouse but she wanted to take a picture of it and uploaded it to social website rather than did some practical actions to the mouse.

Qingming Festival Qingming Festival is to commemorate the deceased families and relatives. During the festival it usually rains. We had 3 days off for this holiday, I decided to go back to my hometown, because I didn’t seen my parents since our traditional Chinese new year, Spring Festival. During the 3-day holiday, highways were free for drivers in case of the traffic jams. But I still went through serious traffic jams on the first day on highway. The bus I took drove so slowly, it made me sick and thrown up twice. How embarrassing! My schedule was delayed about 2 hours. Because of the raining day I didn’t go out, I spent most of my time in watching TV and rest. I watched a popular Chinese dating program “If You Are The One ”. When I saw a beautiful girl rejected a nice boy, she said “ You are excellent, I like you, but I don’t have the urge to spend my life with u.” Like what she said, I also want to find that kind of guy. It’s not easy but I think I will find him finally. Now the embarrassing thing for me is to be asked by my relatives and friends “ Have you got a boyfriend?” “When will you find a boyfriend?” I am fed up of these. But I still have to answer them politely. I just don’t understand why they like asking these questions? Don’t they know the feelings of being asked?

Change It’s so long time that I haven’t written an English notebook entry. In fact, I have been thinking of writing something all the time. But I don’t know what I should write, because my life is so quiet and simple. Everyday seems so similarly, nothing quite different from the previous day. I think I should do something to change this status. I plan to change a new job next year. For the interview with new company, I need to practice English more in the following days till I find a new job. In daily life I often sit in front of computer to work, view pages, watch movies. I am very lack of exercises. It’s harmful to my health. So I want to do some exercises, jogging is a good choice. Jogging is easy, but keep on it is difficult since I am so lazy and lack of constancy of purpose. I hope I can do it 4-5 times weekly. If it rains, it’s not suitable for jogging outside, I can climb stairs. A little change for a day, one day I will find I have made great changes.

Where was my cousin’s cell phone I visited my cousin who has a 6-month baby boy and lives with her parents-in-law on October 6th. We met at the bus stop near her house. When we arrived her house she put her cell on the desk in the living room. Then we talked, looked after her baby,watched TV. Suddenly she wanted to make a call but can’t find her cell.I joined to search the cell.We searched the living room,kitchen,restroom,bedroom, Wardrode,even refringerator.But no resoults. We stopped to think where the cell would be.When we came in the house, there were 4 people, her ,me, her baby,her mother-in-law who came outside whit the baby to enjoy the sunshine after our arrival.Oberiously,the little baby couldn’t hold the cell.So my cousin made a call to her mother-in-law. Eventually ,we found the cell.It was her mother-in-law layed the cell under the pillow in the guest room. What a surprising but pleasing day.

The Coming Holiday I will have a holiday from 9/30-10/7 due to the National Day and Mid-Autumn Day. I am so excited that I will see my parents and my niece, a 3-year-old girl, whom I missed very much. It’s a long time since I last saw them. I will bring some presents for them. I can’t wait to see them.

Holiday We will have a 7-day holiday for our National Day holiday which start from October 1st .Plus Mid-Autumn Day, a traditional festival for family reunion which is on 15th day of the eighth lunar month , that is September 30, we’ll total have 8 days for holiday, such a long time that it almost reaches the length of Chinese new year holiday. How to spend the long holiday is a question. Because China has the largest population in the world, there are so many peoples who go to tourism cities for travelling or go home for a rest everywhere. It will lead the heavy traffic burden and inconvenience for us , such as we have to wait for a long time to buy train tickets, even worse the ticket what we want to buy has been sold out . So I decide to go back to my hometown where it cost about 2.5hours by bus from Shanghai , spending time with my family. The last time I went home is May 1st. I haven’t seen them for 5 months. I miss them so much.
