hey guys watsup! last blog before the deadline and before we know it, EAP will be over! so lets take a minute to go back in time and think of how we felt about coming to the program. i dont about you guys but when i first heard that i was going to attend the EAP program, i felt sad and angry. since i was born, i knew how to speak English. i even learnt English before my native language which of course, in my house, created some problems. I even went ahead to attend elementary and high school were English is their first language and to make us speak English is there first priority. After my high school, i still took computer lessons which also involved English. All i did was based on English and i was really sad when i found out i was taking the EAP program, but as time went, i found out some things that i never knew and the way scott and sandi handle was fantastic! apart from the time, i loved every lesson they have taught us. and the best part of it all are the friends i made. the class was so free and small that everything scott taught us were easily understood. scott also taught us to speak up if anyone feels he/she does not understand what he is saying or he/she disagrees with what scott is saying. i really enjoyed the program and really sorry it had to end so quickly but like people say "the world is small" we will definitely come across each other but until then, hope you guys succeed in everything and merry christmas and happy new year!

hey guys watsup! two more days before finals and it is over! i mean how is that!. before you guys decide to leave, there is something i want to share with you guys. it is called CHRISTMAS! it is the most joyful part of my life. i will first tell you guys how we celebrate christmas in my hometown and then how i am going to celebrate it this year. first, we celebrate our christmas in my hometown by visiting my village to see distant relatives we havent seen for a whole year. second, we talk about our ups and downs and pray that the new year will be better than the last in terms of jobs, foods, academics and life itself. during this period of christmas, there are a lot of of food and drinks to celebrate with. my dad buys a cow and a goat every christmas, so does my uncle and leave them to the women to cook. during those period, i meet and play with my friends and cousins that i havent seen in a long time. so thats it about chrismas in my hometown but i will not be joining them this christmas because i have to apply and attend an interview for a study permit in the united states of America. But it is okay because i also get to spend christmas with my aunt and her lovely kids, one of which is just 4 years old. ok, i think i have covered every thing on my kind of christmas, hope you guys have fun and MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all!
