about O'Sullivan life

  by Chih Hao Wu   

        This is my last time to write it. The time is really quick. I wish I could study forever in group 521, but anything will have a finished day. I think in the past I will recall those days I am in group 521, because this is my unforgettable memory. I also hope we can keep in touch.

        Recently, I am crazy about workout. Therefore, I want to talk about my schedule workout. It always changes depending on many factors like homework, quiz, and how I feel, but here is a sample weekly workout.

Mon: Quadriceps (morning) and Calves (afternoon or night).

Tue: Chest (morning)

Wed: Back (morning)

Thu: Deltoid (morning)

Fri: Biceps, Triceps (morning) and Rectus abdominis(afternoon or night)

Sat: Quadriceps (morning) and Calves (afternoon or night).

Sun: Off

        I usually get up at 5am, and then eat some simple Carbohydrates, a banana, and milk with whey. After that I do some homework or listen to music or watch video or chat on facebook or skype until 6am. Next, I go to gym and start to workout. Today11/30/2012 in the morning, I trained my legs. Actually, it is the most tired I think, but legs training also is the most favorite training which I like. Before I start workout, I almost do warm up because it can decrease hurt. Warm up I do leg extension for 2 sets and 15 to 20 reps. Then I like to do leg press I call this leg press machine which is suicide leg press training because I do it very very heavy.I talk about today my condition. First set I did 478 lbs. 20reps. Second set 658 lbs. Third set 748 lbs. Forth set 838 lbs. final set plus to 908 lbs. Today was I did the most heavy on leg press. I felt that form under to push to top the distance is super faraway and suddenly I would instantly crushed illusion. Next exercise is Squat which is training on you Quadriceps, Gluteals, and Hamstrings. Squat which carry barbell on the shoulder is a movement. I did first set 185 lbs. second 205 lbs. third 235 lbs. After those exercises, I felt that I will kill myself if I keep going , and my tank top was wet. Thus, that is why I usually look like tired. Actually, I skip some important like set and set rest time and total workout time and many puny details. If you want to know, ask me.

        I often hear couple questions about workout. Men and women all think that workout can make you getting heavy and big in short time. I want to say “It’s not impossible....,It just takes longer than you think” Men think they can be strong quickly. Only if use drugs. They don’t know they gain fat quickly in his body. Women are afraid that workout will make you getting heavy and big. I feel ridiculous. I train hard everyday, and even harder the next day! Diligence and hard work is my life!

 

Happy thanksgiving!

By. Jina

Hi, Did you have a happy thanksgiving day? Thanksgiving is a holiday that celebrates the first harvest. Now, whole family gathers and they have a great dinner. Usually, they eat baked or roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, sweet corn, various fall vegetables and pumpkin pie.

I had a really good thanksgiving day. I, my roommate were invited to my host father’s home, and also my host mother invited my Korean friend who lives in IV alone. We met at the morning in my host house, and started to make food. My host mother made fried rice, her daughter made a carrot cake and another daughter made a cranberry sauce. My roommate, my friend and me baked cookies. After we made food, we went to host father’s relatives home. We met a lot of people, and they were so kind to us.

At first, they gave us pumpkin pie until the other families arrive, it was really great pumpkin pie, and they were talking each other. They had a pool at home, so we played pool while we waiting the other family. After the whole family gathered, we prayed and started to eat. There were two turkeys; it was the first time that I ate turkey. It was delicious. Also, there was a lot of food, such as sweet potatoes, cooked fall vegetable and macaroni cheese.

After we had a dinner, we started playing game. I do not know name of game. Someone described the word that written on the card, and the other team member guessed. The game was so fun. Their family was so crazy about the game and so loud, but it was really fun.

Thanks to my homestay family, I had a really great thanksgiving day. 

Building a Power Plant in My Town

BY : ALSHEHRI

I have been living in a peace and quite town for about 20 years. All people around here are so kind, and the landscape is so beautiful. Recently, I heard news that a company will set up a new power plant near my community. I was shocked and I hold a negative opinion about this decision.  Building a power plant has advantages to some extent. For example, it will bring more working opportunity for local people, and also it will help developing the local economics. On the other hand, I strongly oppose the idea for many reasons.

The first reason that I use to oppose this project is that power plant will give off a lot of waste air which harmful to people’s health. Even though the company will take measurements to purify the air, it cannot make the air as clean as before. Absolutely, the air emitted from the factory will affect the people’s health.

Another reason is that a power plant makes too much noise. My community is always a quite place and this is just what I like the most. A power plant will cause the town to become too noisy. For instance, every morning, we can be awake from our dreams by the noise of buses, which take the workers to the company. The noise of engines will also influent our temper, and may cause us susceptible to anger, and easily lose temper.

Furthermore, a strong reason to refuse this decision is that building the power plant will destroy the landscape of the town. Most people living in this town make their living by cultivating and harvesting the crops. The company will occupy the land that is used to farming to create more space to the power plant.

In short, while there are many advantages of building a power plant in my town, I strongly oppose this idea for the above mentioned reasons. Clearly, living in quite, clean weather and wonderful landscape town is one of the most important factors which make our life so happy.
