Preparation for the Big Lunch

I started my internship about a month ago, and I absolutely love it! Everyone is  so nice at work, they are helpful and considerate. There is a great tradition that is carried on by this group of awesome people—people take turns to  cook  a whole lunch meal for everyone on Fridays. This is wonderful because everyone is busy at work normally, and this provides a opportunity for colleagues to connect with one another. Also, the working environment is very diverse, one week we will have Italian, next week we will have French, the week after we will have some Tennessee barbecue!
So I have decided to cook Chinese meals for everyone at work. Some dishes are going to be my specialties, some will be to-be-learned new dishes. This is going to be my project for this semester.
So the passing Friday, some of my colleagues and I went to the Asian Market in Kingsport. They are really interested and curious about what kind of groceries the Asian Market sells. That’s the main reason for the trip . There is an additional reason why I took them to the market, I want to know what seems to be the most interesting materials to them and that might just be what I will cook. I didn’t tell them that though, just some observations.  What the menu is normally stays a secret until the day of.
I think I have a general idea of what I am going to cook. Hope everyone will enjoy it! I will take some pictures while cooking and maybe make next post a recipe and how-to tutorial!

What do I value?

What do you value? There could be lots of answers : happiness, intelligence, independence, wealth, acceptance, love, and so on. It was easy to pick 5 things you value the most, but it was really hard to get rid of three of them, for me, family and intelligence remained. Does my weekly schedule reflect my core value? I would say yes. I spend quite a bit of time going to school and study because I want to be intelligent. I also spend lots of time talking to my family, that shows I value family. I notice that on my schedule sheet that I filled out, I watch a lot of TV during weekends, my plan is to reduce that time for something more valuable.

Reece Museum

Today, I went to the Reece Museum and I invited a few of my friends to go with me as well, to be honest, I didn’t even know we have a museum on campus. It was freezing outside, we were so glad when we got inside of the museum. The museum looked so cool, I couldn’t help to take a bunch of pictures, I am not going to show all of them because like I said, I took A LOT of pictures. Anyway, here are some of the pictures I took:  It looks like my friends are having some fun there!  the native American Basketry was amazing. We all had a good time at the Reece Museum and I am so glad that i went, my friends are happy that i invited them, they said it was pretty cool to see all of it in the museum.

Tailgate Party!

Tailgate Party? what is it exactly? I had absolutely no idea what was a tailgate party. So when I received the email from school about the tailgate party this passing Saturday, first thing I did was look it up on google:"what is a tailgate party?" after gaining some knowledge about the tailgate party, I was quite excited "do you want to go to the tailgate party?" I received a text message from my friend Amanda, awesome! "sure!"I replied. The day of the event, the weather could be better, but I was still curious enough to go. I hear music as soon as I got to the parking lot, it was busy enough even though it was dreary. I ran into my other friend on my way to the honors house, he was here for the football game. He is a huge football fan by the way. when we got to the house, some people were already there, there were hotdogs, chips and tea served. Everything was great！Oh wait! it gets better, I got a free honors college T-shirt! It was a great experience!
