I plan to study in library every day after all my classes done. What’s more, under the big pressure I need to learn adjusting my time with a suitable schedule. Secondly, for women, they never satisfy their weight l; as a result, losing weight is another resolution for me. I have serious plan to do; for example, there have kick boxing, zumba and yoga in Ping center. I always go there since the winter break. I promise to lose at least 20pounds a quarter. In addition, making an American friend will be my third resolution. For quarter, I have a lot of chance to make friends with them. Even I have already had many Chinese friends and few American friends; I still need to have more. Then I can have more opportunities to know American culture deeply and that’s the main purpose why I come to USA.
