Harsh Homework...

Maybe I should call it a punishment rather than homework when my lecturer came into the room and told us to do something that I really wish I would never do, as a punishment since we did not do the homework. Well, it was not Ms. S's (my lecturer)fault, it's my fault. If I have done what her told me to do, I would never be in this situation. So here the story...
Ms. S told us to do us to write about the characteristic of the person we'd like to marry to. It sounds strange at first, doesn't it? But when she added that we did not have to write our names on the papers, it was much better. In fact I did plan to do this homework, but many unexpected things came pouring on me at once, which made me unable to do anything for Ms. S. I totally forgot about the homework.
When it was time to hand in the paper, I was quite surprised because I thought there was no homework to be given in. So what can I do? Nothing! I sensed that Ms. S was a bit annoyed, for more than half the class didn't do the work. But she still kept it cool in her way.
Ms. S stood still for a moment. I think she was trying to teach us a lesson. Finally, she said "Well, class. Since you did not do your work, you have to do a reflection paper to make up for it. You have to watch a Khmer drama and write a reflection paper for me." She added that it must be handed in by Friday.
It was like a ton of bricks dropping on me. What should I do? I never watch Khmer drama and I don't like it either. Moreover, she did not tell us what she expected from the reflection paper. I don't know where to start, let alone what to write about.
So here I am, sitting in front of my computer thinking of what to write... I'm doomed.

I Did It!

I finished "Mary, Bloody Mary" last night at 9:30. It was a great book related to the English royal family "The Tudors". They fought, killed and poisoned each other in order to get what they desired, the crown. I think I might recomment this book to my friends.
Now I've just started reading Anne Frank's diary. Nathary must be right that this book could change lives because this twelve-year-old Jewish girl was so great and she wasn't afraid of writing down what was in her mind.
I can't wait to finish this book...

I Love Today!

Today most of my friends might go out messing around. They might enjoy themselves & laught at how stupid I am to stay home. Once or twice they asked me to go with them (maybe about a year or two ago), now they generally don't. But do I care? Not at all!
At I need to cheer myself during weekend is a good book ( & probably a cup of hot coffee.) Now I'm reading a very great book by Carolyn Meyer called Mary, Bloody Mary. Hopefully I can finish it by the end of the day (still half way to go) since I want to read another book, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl. Somebody told me it was a great book.

Don't You Love it?


Freedom Writers is one of my favourite movies of all time. It is very educational and fun to watch at the same time. Maybe because it is inspired by a true story that makes I interested in it even more.
I have no idea why the teachers at my university never talk about this film. Maybe they never watch it (who knows?). If I were those teachers, I would tell my students to watch this film. It is more interesting than "Finding Nemo" (at least I think so.)
The point that I really like about this film is that the way that teacher devoted for her students. You can never find another teacher like her. She's willing to work part time and on the weekend just to have enough money to buy her students some books to read. I wish I was her student.
But the actress who played as a Cambodian girl looked more like Chinese to me.
That's all I can say about this wonderful film, my dear friends. Maybe you should watch it yourself and tell me your views.
