I have started to use Google calender a little but I never remember to put events in it so it really isn’t all that useful. My goal is to put all of the events I know of in my calender. Here it goes…

How I did it: I have one of those Big Fat Greek Families so going to Greece was a bit of a given. I went and did the family visiting (it was good except I probably gained innumerable pounds because they stuff you at lunch, and then you are with someone else for dinner and they stuff you again), island hopping (the ferries are great fun), and historic item observing. We actually went in the winter, so that had it's pros and cons. Pros: less people, lowe… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Well, a friend of mine bought my family a really nice mahjong set. She plays it a lot with her family and taught all of us to play, too. It was great, even my grandfather got involved! I didn't find it too hard but I know there are a ton of different ways to play so maybe other ways are harder. But it's a really fun game once you get the hang of it and it can entertain for hours! Good luck everyone! Read how I did it…
I got a Sigg water bottle for Christmas. It’s just so cute that I want to take it with me everywhere. If I drink two full bottles, that’s 8 (8 ounce) cups. That really helps. It’s already SO much easier!
I’ve really wanted to learn Chinese for many reasons for quite a while and last semester I began taking a class. It was really small with only two other people in it. I really love it so far, though it is really challenging. I think that it would be really really hard if you didn’t want to. But, I try to study a lot and learn about the culture, too. I now have a great Chinese tutor (my old teacher) and we just meet at the Library every week for an hour and a half. We get so much done! I’ve already started learning some Hanzi and I’m now using nciku to learn the pin yin for this book the “Seven Magic Brothers”. I really really would suggest nciku as a great tool to learn characters and as a basic dictionary. If anyone has some other resources I would love to know about them!! Thanks! -
