Anxiety

   I am constantly feeling anxious and I imagine that almost all the LINC students too. I have had many moments with butterflies in my stomach, such as before the New York Marathon, a job interview, a big meeting or a volleyball game. However, taking a test especially the Placement test is the most difficult challenge because I want to pass in this test more than anything now. I desire to learn English, to graduate and to be a successful professional. Therefore, I study, I try to take Yoga or Pilates classes, I exercised regularly, I play volleyball and I work. All those help me to preper to the Placement test and to control my anxiety.

Homework

   Food and mealtimes have many purposes other than nutritional ones. Mealtimes are traditional times for people to eat together with their family and friends. People like to talk and listen to each other while they enjoy good food and company. I don’t know exactly why sometimes people like to eat alone. Special food and mealtimes can be a way to celebrate special days, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and birthdays. ..

Sunday

  Today I did not go to work as a tooth fairy in the LIMELIGHT because my mom had to go to the doctor. She is sick, but now she is a little better. I think I am going to work in the LIMELIGHT as a fairy next Saturday. In the afternoon I went to the writing center. My teacher from writing center is very good. She helped me a lot. After that, I went to a CVS and a grocery store. Then, I stayed with my mom and took care of her.

LIMELIGHT

   This Friday I went to school to study and work. I started to study and to do my homework in the afternoon still at night, but I did not finish. Because I am going to work in the weekend I anticipated some of my homework on Friday.

   On Saturday I went to the gym with my mom in the morning and we took a spinning bike class. After that, I went to the city by train. I went to work in the beautiful Limelight Mall in the 6Av with 23 St. It is a market place with many stores, such as Hunter shoes, food, salon, soaps, clothes and bags. However, before it was a church and before of that it was a dance club. I worked by walking around the mall and distributing the Limelight`s brochure. Today I have to dress up a fashion tiger clothes. Last time that I worked there I was an angel. Tomorrow I am going to be a tooth fairy. My day was very nice excepted for the cold. Tomorrow I am going to write how my day was by being a tooth fairy.

  

Eat, pray, love and peace

Yesterday night I watched the movie “Eat Pray Love”. It was an extremely adventure with the amazing actress Julia Robert. Liz (Julia Robert) had a boring, busy and sad life in New York City. She believed that there is more to challenge her life than a husband, house and career. She talked with God, physiologists and with herself. She did not feel self-esteem. One day, she found that she should change her life. She fails hunger for new feelings and new tips of food. She got divorced and she got in a journey for one year. First, she traveled to Italy, where she learned their culture and language. Also, she made some friends there. However, what she loved the most in Italy was their delicious food. Second, she went to India where she got scared and crazy, but she learned about meditation, relaxing and to eat less. After that, she went to Bali that she started to discover about herself. Finally, she found her love who was a handsome Brazilian man. He gave to her everything that she was looking for her life eat, pray, love and peace. I learned from the movie that we never have to be afraid of changes.

Black Friday

On Friday and Saturday were my Black Friday`s day. It is the day following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, traditionally the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. Especially popular in the United States, the event is spreading to other nations such as Canada and Australia. On this day, many retailers open very early, often at 4 a.m., or earlier, and offer promotional sales to kick off the shopping season. The day's name originated in Philadelphia, where it originally was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving. The “Black Friday" indicates the period during which retailers are turning a profit, or "in the black."However, it was a very nice shopping days for me and it was not a black day. I went to the mall in the afternoon and I found many good sales. I loved it. I bought fitness` clothes, bouts, jackets and some Christmas` presents to my friends and family. On Friday, I was shopping alone that was a little boring, but on Saturday I went with my mom and we had so much fun. In addition, I passed to say hello to my best friend Isabel and my sister Monique who work in a Christmas` store in the mall. I love Black Friday.
