My reflection

Why I must to study in ENG-380 ? Is repetitious question that occurs to me all the times.
I never think I will study in this course. Why? First, I don't have any backgrounds about business and trade. My minor is tourism. Second , I think this course is difficult to me to understand about business because I don't like its. Last, Eng-380 isn't related with my minor so I don't have any reasons to study. First class, I had an opportunity to study. That time, I didn't think anythings. I think when the class is ending. When second class studied, my stupid thinking in ENG-380 vanised from my head.

I don't know why? Perhaps, it is the teacher that is Aj.Kob.

You know? The teacher can speak very well to sustain me and everyone in class. She didn't care who is clever or perfect. She think that everyone is equal. This point makes me admired her. Furthermore, she pay attentions to teach everyone. I got a lot of new knowledges and experiences from her such as blog and dealing in business. These of all are new things for me. I know business isn't easy. We must be active and careful to think or make something. Like teacher said every minute is valuable. I agree with her. Lastly,I would liketo say "thank you" to Aj. Kob. My task isn't complete ,if I don' have Aj. Kob to be a good advisor.

All of all, I can bring this subject to adjust to use in my life. It makes me to be a working-woman and think with careful and considerate before I will do its.

Sometimes cried, Sometimes confuse, Somtimes laugh...But " haPPy"

I' m glad to see you ...Aj.Kob

My journal 6

On 1 July,2010, today it was serious for me. Before I will study in Eng. 380, I tested in Eng.463. Oh my god!!! it was difficult. At 3 o' clock, I went to study Eng-38o. When I arrived at my class, I felt excited immediately. Today every groups must role play about the first day of working. Then aj. Kob gave each group to send one volunteer to pick a lebl. My group must present on the third groups. At time, I felt wory because I afraid of my group not well to present and everyone in class didn't understand what we show but I tried to do its. Although,there was a diiferent when we compared with other groups. However, my group was glad that we will show some spirit to everyone. Other groups presented very good. I really liked it. It was funny and interested. And, finally after every groups presented already, teacher invited everyone to take a phptograph together. That time, it was a happy time that I take a photograph with my friends and teacher changed the time to send every journals too.
