Anyway, GOOD LUCK WITH ALL OF YOUR FINALS AND HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!!

I have some funny answers in the exams for you guys...but...don't do like that in your finals :D

A week before the final week! Looking back at the project!

I still have the English book that Dr.Williams gave me. I still have the word file about basic steps to learn how to use a computer stored in my student drive. However, I still have not had a chance to use them since I prepared for it.

It has been a week since I came to the library to wait for Alicia, my partner for the community service project. I haven't heard or recieved anycall from her since then. It was a bit disappointed for me because I prepared so well for it, I put lot of effort to the project but...

In the beginning of the semester, everything went really well and I believed that Alicia and me would had such a great time. However, toward the end, when more and more things needed to be done before the end of the semester, we could not keep up our meetings. Maybe she was busy with her works because he had 2 jobs and Friday at 5pm may not be a good time for her. She might feel tired at that time, after a hard-working week. Maybe she had something to do with her family.

However, I still believe that what we have achieved so far is not bad at all. She now has her username and password to login to the computer. She now can use the computer to check the weather and read the news. Our meeting has been productive and I am happy with it. However, there are still a lot more that I can do her her, a lot more that I can help her. I can help her more with her English, I can help her more with the computer.

Looking back, I am happy with the results my partner and I have achieved. I wish her all the best and if I have the same project in the future, I wish that I can work with her again and I will do even better then what I have done!

Fifth Meeting with my partner!! Oopps!!

Last week, Alicia and me had such a "good meeting" for our community service project because it was Good Friday. I hope that she had a great time with her family for Good Friday and Easter. I was so excited about our fifth meeting after Good Friday. I borrowed the English book from Dr.Williams so that I could teach her more about English. I also did some research about basic steps to learn how to use a computer such as typing exercises or how to use a program. I believed that this meeting would be such a productive meeting as usual.

I was wearing a polo shirt and short with my favourite Adidas shoes. The weather was nice with little wind and sun shine. Around 4:55pm, I came to the library. I wanted to come early so that I could prepare the seats and the computers for both of us. There were not many people in the library as you knew because it was Friday and 5 pm. Everyone should be at home at this time.

I was waiting for her for 10 mins. I was wondering "Oops! is there any posibility that she forgets our meeting?" So I took my phone out of my pocket and look for her number. There it was "Alicia Nava - community service". I called her.

Ring...ring...ring........

Ring...ring...ring.......

I called her twice but she didn't pick up her phone so I left her a message.

I was a bit sad about it because I was well-prepared for the meeting but she didn't show up. Maybe she had something to do with her family. Maybe she forgot about the meeting.

Well, I left the library at 5:30 pm and was looking forward to see her next week...

Good Friday!!!

This week, it is Good Friday. Thus, we did not meet this week.

I wish her have a great time with her family.

I have been in the U.S for 2 years, but I haven't been to any American family to have the "Good Friday" or "Easter" or even "Thanksgiving" atmosphere. Haizz, I will do it one day ^^

Anyway, I went to Houston with my friends on Good Friday to come to the Vietnamese students association's conference in Houston. (It was Houston again and again....and again....I don't remember how many times I went to Houston.....Next time I'll go somewhere else.)

I had fun with my friends over there. The performances were good. The performances were made by the students so it was fun to watch.

I came back to Fort Worth on Saturday evening, had a good sleep and ready for next week.

Fourth meeting with my partner!

Last week, I believe that Alicia and me had such a productive meeting. She now has her username and passowrd to be able to login the computer and use the internet. Moreover, from now on, even if she forgets her password, she is still able to reset her password without typing her social security number again. All she needs to do is answering the questions that she chose.
This week, we kind of took our time to review and looked back at what we have done so far this semester because she had something to do with her family, so she needed to leave early.
At first, she used her username and password to login to the computer. Then she went to the internet icon (E) to surf the weather website or the news websites. She still didn't move the mouse into the place that she wanted. However, I told her that "don't worry about that and be patient. The more you use the computer, the more you wil lbe familiar with it."
After that, we had a small talk about next week. I wish her have a good time with her family because next Friday is Good Friday.

Photofunia! Have fun with your pictures!

One day, I had nothing to do (so it was probably Friday night or Saturday, I don't remember exactly - -), I was surfing on the internet and talking to my friends through Yahoo messenger!

I was wonder myself that I had so many homeworks to do but why I couldn't concentrate on my work. While I was surfing on the internet, I found an interesting tool to have fun with your pictues. The website is http://www.photofunia.com/

The picture below shows the home page of the website. All you need to do is choosing the effect by clicking on the images or effects provided by the website:

Then have your picture ready (this is just an example, so I use my favourite soccer player pictue ^^)


After you choose to effect and put your picture in, it will show up like this:
Or like this: ^@^
There are more and more fun effects that you can apply to your pictures. You can do this and send it to your friends to make fun of them

Hope you have a great time with it.

Third meeting with my partner ^^

I always believe that Friday at 5pm is a good time for both of us, Alicia and me, to have the meeting because it is the time that I finish school, she finishes her work and we are ready for the weekend. It might be a bad time as well because we might be lazy after a hard-working week. However, we have done a great job so far. Our project has been really productive we both satisfy with it.

Last time, Alicia was not able to log in the computer because she does not know her TCU username and password and at that time, there was no one at the computer help desk. This week, I ask one of my friends who works at the help desk to help her out. His name is Kevin and he was really patient helping my partner. He showed her step by step how to reset her username, and then reset her password. Alicia is not good with computer, thus it took her long time to finish the whole process. Especially, when it asked her to type her social security number, me and Kevin were not able to stand next to her to help her and it asked her to type her SSN twice. Therefore, it took her like three or four times to complete. Finally, I chose the password for her to save some time.
After, she got her username and password, now she was able to login to the computer by herself. I could see how happy and satisfied she was when she smiled at me, because from now on she could use the school computer to reading news and do her things.
