.... her daughter, my beautiful Isolt, the art of the lyre. I returned to Cornwall, and upon hearing my account of Isolt's charm, my king Mark resolved to make her his own. After convincing her family to allow her to wed the king, we set back on a ship for Cornwall. I remember the night on which we fell in love. Perhaps it was the wine, or perhaps I was merely intoxicated by her. Nonetheless, she amazingly felt the same drawing to me, and we were unable to contain our affections. We continued seeing one another in secret after the wedding; after all, without love her marriage was invalid. After a while, though, our conniving king took aware of our dealings and ....

.... eat lunch at her house every week. I remember trudging up the dank, squeaky stairs with my siblings, yelling "An- yang!!"(grandmother) all the way. She would yell in a similar fashion "Ah! Shua- nging!" (ah, children!) Smells of old-fashioned Shanghainese cooking would assail my senses, as my mouth watered in anticipation of the savories to come. One particular afternoon, after we had finished eating, we draped ourselves around her living room. I was sitting on a dilapidated couch, whose colors were made indiscernible by time, and was looking around her room. My gaze swept from the thin, worn carpet, bare in some places, to the scarred wooden dresser, to a dirty doll ....

.... move us to the third floor. So, we had to approve the apartment and tell her what we wanted fixed. At last, we had our apartment. Finally, it was August and it was time to move. Our original plan was to move everything at once with friends and family, but August became very bust. One week I went on vacation to Chicago. Then I had to go fishing for four days with my family. Another weekend I went ot a friend's house, who I met at Boy's State, to see a rodeo. My roommate, Nathan, had a wedding ot attend. Nathan worked from eight'o clock untill five thirty as a hired hand. I worked a virity of hours at the Dariy Queen usually over lunch and supper, which is when Nathan ....

.... us. After a six-hour drive, we arrived at the Quality Inn. It looked like a run down trailer park, but it served our purpose. We checked in and took a hike to our room. As the door creaked open, we saw the size of the room, our mouths dropped. The thought of how we would squeeze eight girls in one room with two twin beds went through our minds. Mary spoke up and said, "It won't be that bad, some of us will just have to sleep on the floor." Despite her effort her words did not comfort me much. How my parents would react to our situation was all I could think. Even the poor accommodations could not put a damper on our high spirits. No sooner than we had put our bags do ....

.... We rode in an olive-drab chopper. The whooping blades of the helicopter give us a little relief from the relentless heat of 'Nam; the blades cut the thick, humid air and pushed a breeze downward over the passenger compartment. Soon, we circled the landing zone. The LZ looked cold. There's only one way to find out if it is really cold, I thought as I double checked my M16. If no one zapped us when we entered, it was cold. If they did, it wasn't. "Lock and load," I yelled. The helicopter circled low and slowed down until it almost hovered four feet from the ground. The door gunner mashed the spade grips on his .30 caliber M60 machine gun. The gun spewed bullets ....

.... When your hair gets a little wet, it'll release good smell. Mountain Equipment Coop: Do you know where you should get your rain jacket? "Mountain Equipment Coop" is where you should go. Look at our all teacher's rain jackets. Do you see any Mountain Equipment Coop jackets? Yeah, everyone is wearing them. The place to go : If you are a teenager, you should go to Lonsdale Quay on Weekend nights. Many North Van teenagers get together but I don't know what they are doing at there. Americans : I guess you know how you should deal with them. Try not to like them and complain a little bit about them. University & College : Change your major at least 3 times. Hockey : ....

.... in U.S. After I took the test a fourth time, finally I became eligible to apply for MTSU. I was so exciting and I felt as if my life has changed. Through the difficulties of trying to enter college, I have come to understand that everything is not easy. Once, my father has taught me that ¡§ One reaps no more that what he has sown.¡¨ I have never understood that sentence until I have tried all my best to get into a college. So, I learned to treasure all the chances that I have. Before I enter MTSU, I'm shy, and I do not talk very much in class. But after I entered MTSU, I have met people from different countries and different cultures. I have become more self-confident ....

.... giant hairballs. Apparently these extraterrestrial cats didn't digest their food very well, and a few small creatures were still alive – caught in the hairballs. After these cats left, these little martian bugs and small furry animals resembling monkeys crawled out of the hairballs and from that evolved into what we know as life today. Wouldn't my idea of the theory of life work? I mean, they did find these little microorganisms in the rocks on Mars. Also, bribed sources from inside the Pentagon and NASA have quoted that they have found bone fragments of what appear to be little creatures resembling monkeys, and also these balls of hair with an unknown origin. Reall ....
