I think the most usful thing that I learned from this class is how to find resources. After this class I have a better skill to use penrose library. I know how to find different types of materials, and make work citied by using penrose.Also, I know some food problems and food cultures. How people eating, what people eating, and the differences how people eat between now  and in past.

never hungry

For me, I just do not want feel hungry. My eating habits are influence by my class schedule. Class schedule is one of the most important things for college students. And, it determined by how many classes I have took and what class I have took.  After registration, I will have a class schedule, and this schedule will influence my life style in next ten weeks. If lucky, I will get a good schedule, reasonable time distribution. But, most of time is unlucky, just like this quarter; I have a crowd class schedule, all of the classes are during the lunch time. Every day, my classes begin at 11am and finish at 3pm. Thus, for me, what I can have at dining hall are only breakfast and dinner.

Breakfast will show more importance for who have a similar class schedule as me. A lot of research show that breakfast is a very important meal for people’s daily life. So, for me the person who have no time to eat lunch, the breakfast is very important. But sometimes, I will get up late and skip the breakfast. And, every time when I skip the breakfast, I will feel tired and hungry a whole day, sometimes I even get stomachache. I remember that one day I went to class without eating breakfast. In the class I feel asleep and tired, and I really didn’t want to take notes and listen what professor’s speaking. After the class, I went to my dorm, and lay on my bed.  Few minus later, I fell asleep. When I weak up, I found is dark outside. It’s really hurts my study efficiency; I wasted a whole day to do nothing, no homework, no listen the teachers’ speaking. I cannot concentrate without eating the breakfast, unless I eat something at afternoon after the class.  But it’s too late; I have already missed lot things that professors teach us in class.

However, breakfast is not enough for me. Sometimes although I get up earlier, and have breakfast at dining hall, I still feel hungry at early afternoon. The best way is eat something during the class break. I always bring some chocolate to class, and eat it during the break. Breakfast is just breakfast, it cannot instead the lunch. Breakfast is important, but it doesn’t mean all. So, I need to eat something at lunch time, even I cannot go to dining hall. (I will find some source about the important of lunch)

I saw some American students will eat their meal in class. This is a good way to fill an empty stomach, if classmates and professor do not mind. But actually, I don’t like to eat my lunch in class. Because I think it will influence my classmates and professor. In general, no one can don’t make any noisy when he or she was eating, even if someone can keep quite when they were eating, they cannot stop the smell diffusing.  However, it still will influence others in the class. In China, most of schools do not allow student eat in class, some of them are do not allow even in school. When I was in primary school, my teacher told us “Do not take any food to school.” But the middle school is much better; we can eat at school but not in classroom. So, I’m not get used to eat in class. What’s more, I don’t like do something unique. I mean I don’t like to be the only one who is have lunch when others are taking note or listening to the professor’s speaking. I think it’s weird.
