0819 weekend is coming!

8019

Today is Friday. Thank God we go through the first week in Edinburgh, the easiest one, the tutor said.

Since the course we take is English for MBA, the assignments of the course are not only with large size but also with profession. Just as Lynn and Abby mention: the MBA in Edinburgh University is really top and very famous in UK, and now, we should taste that as we choose it by ourselves.

Please let me explain the background of the sentence: the reason I choose here mostly because of the Festival and secondly because of the reputation of Edinburgh University. With the strict training in our course, and we really understand why the MBA here is so famous. Sometimes we hope the school rejected us at that time we applied rather than make us suffer frustration like this. Most of classmates are managers in their countries, with many working experience, and also with some age, their performances are really outstanding.
Eric asked me how about Edinburgh? But I really don’t know how to illustrate the city and also about Festival, because we don’t have time to catch the sight of the city and don’t have time to feel about that.
Thank God it’s Friday!
I finally feel the heart of this city today.
But before that, we go to Stirling.

We go to Stirling, where sit in our future university, this afternoon. To be a national park, Stirling is really a small town, with many kindly old people and beautiful houses. The campus there is really far different from Edinburgh University, which with several old buildings sat in the city with separate. We go there and find the management faculty to ask several things we really worried about, and we’re so glad that things would not take so serious, and with many consideration and flexibility.

With a shortly visit and continuously queries, we leave the campus for downtown Stirling. There we meet our future classmates, and enjoy dinner together. It’s also the first time for me to eat fast food in UK. Sometimes I’m really happy that there is someone can talk with me in Chinese, and I understand again that meeting nice people with coincident in other country is a wonderful thing.

After we back to Edinburgh, we walk though the line between old town and new town_ the Princes Street, and enjoy the atmosphere of the Festival. There are lots of free shows on the street, with Scotland traditional music and dancing, many people from all over the world stand there to see, to listen and even dance with the lovely music. People on the street are full of joy, and all of the playhouses here are crowed with people every night. They smile, they shot, they dance and they catch the city with cameras and heart. We also go to book a backpacker hostel to stay for our last night in Edinburgh without accommodation. Finally, with the fireworks, the day goes the end. It seems a good day without thinking too much about the essay we will turn in next week.
Yes, today is really a good day and also it is my first time to write my diary in English. Actually, I’d like to write the things I want to share with lovely you as a practice of my written English.
I should take my own step rather than follow the tempo of our classmates, and compete with me in the past. I talk this to myself, and try myself calmer. God bless me. Don’t make any joke to me again, something like I lost one of my eye contacts.
Tomorrow will be another day.
