Blog for the English orientation

Hi, everyone, my name is Vince Li.  In this blog, I am going to talk about the orientation I attended last Thursday.  In the orientation, the professors introduced the Creative Writing major.  They said this major could help us develop our writing, research and critical thinking skills which are very useful in our future.  They also talked about poems.  Actually, I like poems, and I am also good at Chinese poems.  They gave us a form, which we could easily change our major.  However, I am more interested in Science than art courses, but this orientation really gave me some information about Creative Writing major. 
By the way, there were some games in the orientation.  Those question were so difficult to me.  I could not answer any of them.  At last, there were some random prizes, and there were 2 times I almost got it.
All in all, that was a useful orientation.

In class about twitter

Original tweeter: Kathy tried by all means not to hv the kids worried abt their father. She lied to them, but deep inside their knew things weren't ok(184).

It was so funny because Kathy was so worried about Zeitoun but she had to pretend she wasn't.  She had to lie to her children that their father was safe so that her children could go to school.  It was hard for Kathy.  However, all of them knew Zeitoun was not OK.  They all knew Zeitoun were doing a rough time, but they didn't want each other to be crushed.
