My Weekend

I do not want to go out or Universal Studio. I just want to stay alone and see any happy faces. Indeed, I can not be normal. Recently, I feel like that. I do not know how long this feeling exits so far. My weekend, I just stay alone. I just do not need happiness or friends. I just want to do my homework, use computer, listen my favorite songs. On Friday, some ALP students of my class go to PHO 88's to have delicious lunch, but I just stay in library. On Saturday, I went to my ant's house, for do she want me to change my recent living-place to live with her. I feel that I must move to that place. Because after my refusing of living with her, she was so angry with me. So I was so confused. On Sunday, I had a day to prepare small birthday party for a rather stranger, but I have to do it. That's all, my weekend is so boring.

Seven years ago, he worked for a government university and research institution in Vietnam. He was the best professional so that he was elected to study abroad by a government sponsor. After that, he went to America to research his major with the hope to get a Masters degree.
