4. Continuing My Life in Mississippi College and Mississippi

This is the fourth week since I've been here at MC. As Dr. Miller wrote in his blog, both students and faculties are getting tired and starting to complaint about how busy, boring and struggling they are. I do feel tired as well, but I think this is a natural process that all of us have to get through. I got tons of homework from each courses to finish, and tests are coming on the way as well. Now, I noticed that study is not always as fun as the first three weeks, and in most cases, study is very tough to deal with.

I spent lots of time on finish reading Holmes' article and tried my best to figure out his conceptions and perspectives on Christian education according to Dr. Miller's requirment. Holmes' article made me understand deeper on how important to creat a freedom learning environment for students to approach every possible knowledge following by God's purpose.

However, last week, I went to Natchez city where the old Indian tribe lived but extinct now,

and it is always good to have some recreation time in order to recover from one week's study pressure and learning both American and Mississippi cultures. I love the small and clean streets in Natchez city, especially in the twilight time, I felt that the whole city was belonging to me. Mississippi river is always the best part of Mississippi, the running river let me know that we have to keep life going go, and no one can stop things happen---sometimes, things happen on the possitive way, but sometimes, they happen on the negative way. Well, the key is how you think and how you determine them.

Again, I took some picturs, and I am going to send it back to China, to all my Chinese friends and my parents. I hope they can come to here to visit me in the future and also, I would like to share my Mississippi life to them. I know next week will be very tough since I've got so many homework to do and tests to review. I am trying and hopefully I will work them out!
