The news is about the movie - 2012

2012, this movie is popular now!  The trailer is very big before the movie shows.

I didn't to see that. But many of my co-works and classmates  had  seen.

They said the plot of 2012 is similar to "the day after tomorrow". That is also a good movie!

I  think the movie 2012 is about the ends of the world , or destroy the earth, but the news seems to be not the same.

the news is talking about the story behind the legend , is Maya culture. How the Mayan calendar invents , How  to  calculate , why called doomsday...

I think it is strange  for inventing  the calendar. I'll say , the ancients  werw smart.

we maybe should thanks that because their contribution to astronomy , improve the knowledge.

"Jenkins hopes all the attention will all encourage people to learn more about the ancient Maya and the true story behind the year 2012." It's other purpose  for this movie.

And, an end means another beginning!  The sentence is good !

I think  I'll  watch this movie when the DVD  become available.

Elizabeth ,


I'm tired today. I have a part-time job in McDonalds. I'm a casher. Today I worked after class till 10 o'clock. I talked to customers 5 hours! Ha ha, so thirsty!McDo­nalds is a funny place.I feel it just like a big family.Even though simetimes I had meet bad costomer that make me unhappy. But I will forget that because my co-works are humor.That is good job!

I'm not very interested in Engineering.­ I studing this becase after I graduated from junior high school , I chooes the the wrong section. I think I didn't hate this section so I study keep giong. But, I have a big problem now, I will graduate at the year after next, I'm stiil not interested in the department I studied. I don't know that I should keep going study or work directly.I don't decide yet. You have a direction of your feature, that's great! I'm glad to hear that you've always had an interest in psychology!

I discover that my hobbies are similar to yours. Are you also a outgoing girl? I am. I usually go out with friends on holidays. My mother sometimes will angry with me.She doesn't like I not at home.And I also like to knit!I am surprised taht you like kniting!I seldom hear people like to knit now!

I will go to the bed. Good night!

Angela,


I actually don't work right now. I used to have a job, though. I had three different jobs, actually, over the course of about three years. I worked as a sales associate/ca­shier at a department store, a photographer­ at a photo studio at one of the local shopping malls, and I was a cashier at a local bookstore. The job as the photographer­ and the job at the bookstore were my two favorite jobs. I had to quit, however, because it was interfering with my school work.


I'm like you, engineering has never interested me. I guess because I've never been good at math or science (except chemistry and anatomy). I have a friend who is currently majoring in Environmenta­l Engineering and another who was an engineering major but has since changed to economics. As far as whether or not you should keep studying, that's really up to you. I mean, it really depends on what is going to make you happy. There's really no point in continuing to study something that you don't enjoy.


I'm not very outgoing in the sense that I have a lot of friends. I have a few close friends but, for the most part, I'm a really shy person. I do, however, like to go out with my friends. My mother is the exact opposite of yours. She actually wants me to go out with my friends. She thinks I spend too much time on my computer or reading. But, when I'm with my friends, I like to go shopping, go to the movies, and go to bars. Anyway, it is unusual to find people our age who like to knit. It's really something that people associate with older women. But, I love it! I've made a hat and a pair of gloves so far. I'm currently working on a matching scarf.

Angela,


I'm very good. How are you? Engineering is a very difficult major. I'm impressed that you're doing such a hard major. Personally, I'm studying psychology. I want to be a child psychologist­ when I'm done with school. Have you always had an interest in engineering?­ I've always had an interest in psychology but it wasn't until a couple years ago that I decided to pursue a degree in the field.


I didn't know that American baseball games actually reached that far. I'm always amazed at what is shown in other parts of the world. My brother's favorite team, I think, is the Cincinnati Reds. I know that's my dad's favorite baseball team and my friend Michael's favorite team. In fact, I live about 2 hours away from the Cincinnati Reds' baseball stadium. I've been to see them play once.


I've never listened to any Chinese music. I've listened to French pop music, Thai music, and Japanese music. Even though I don't understand what they're saying most of the time, I still love the music. Hmm, if you want some good songs, there are some good pop songs (American) that I like. Some of my favorites are "Black Horse and a Cherry Tree" by KT Tunstall, "Cornfl­ake Girl" by Tori Amos (Tori Amos is an amazing singer!), "Winter"­ by Tori Amos, "Better­ in Time" by Leona Lewis, "Beauti­ful Nightmare"­ by Beyonce, "Samson"­ by Regina Spektor.


I love horror novels as well. I also like fantasy novels. I'm not particularly­ fond of romance novels, though. I like to read mysteries and classic novels in addition to everything else. I love to read so there are a lot of genres that I like.


I have a lot of hobbies. In addition to reading, I like to write, listen to music, surf the internet, knit, sleep, shop, daydream, draw, work puzzles, play games, go out with my friends, watch movies.

Hi. Thanks for writing. What are you studying in college? How funny that you like watching baseball. I say this because my brother used to play baseball. He played it for 12 years.
