Brucee Lee's movies are serious, Jackie Chan's movies are funny.

1979 醉拳  Drunken Master (Jackie Chan)

project and two presentations

Well, somehow I finished my project despite all the obstacles.

Now I have to do two powerpoint presentations. One about some cultural festival, second about a certain Chinese movie. I'm quite reluctant to do it because the movie genres are comedy and western. I don't like those genres. Anyway, I have to motivate myself more.

deadline April 24th

I have to write some paper about Chinese adjectives, 7-10  pages, Times New Roman 12. I have hardly any materials. This is my biggest problem.

deadline before 24th April

Of course all in English. Here I don't have to bother too much, but there I have to be very careful about all that gramatical frames.

This is kinda awkard. Lately every night before I finally fall asleep my mind goes wild about grammar structures. seriously.
