We ate too much bread and hamburgers last week, so we decided to go to Walmart to buy some food and household items.

ZJ emptied his travel box to carry the goods. He wanted to walk to the mall, but I was a bit reluctant. In the end, I agreed with his idea.

We bought a lot of items, including vegetables, a pot, bowls, and so on.

First Home-Cooked Rice Meal

I bought 2kg of rice myself in the afternoon, so I decided to make Chinese food for dinner.

This was my first rice meal since arriving in Edmonton, and it was delicious. ZJ ate a lot, and I also enjoyed it, though I only had one bowl.

Collecting Second-Hand Furniture

After dinner, ZJ asked me to post an ad to buy some second-hand furniture like desks and lamps. I left both of our phone numbers, with ZJ’s listed first. Jenny was very helpful—I was worried about getting nonstop calls, so having two numbers seemed better.

Soon enough, someone contacted us about selling furniture. They lived nearby and even picked us up to choose the items at their place.

I picked out a desk, a mattress, chairs, and more. It cost quite a bit, but we probably won’t need to buy much more furniture after this.

The seller gave us a mirror for free. At first, I thought it was nice, but after bringing it home, it felt eerie, so we threw it away. It’s better not to casually accept things from others.

Tidying Up My Little Room

I cleaned the desk and chairs and rearranged the layout of the room, making it much cozier. The mattress is also very comfortable—it’s great!

PS: My English writing is still quite poor, so I used translation software for help and manually copied it over. I’ll improve gradually.

快中午的时候把工位的电脑装好了，有了自己的电脑和两块显示器。学习 PPT 啥的都能够比较方便了。

预习过之后，在上课的时候果然好了很多，上次课几乎听不懂，这次能够听懂 30%以上了。

不过下午的课程，老师说话极其的快，直接把我干懵逼了，还好大部分内容都在 PPT 上面。后面也能够跟着课程走，但是生僻的单词太多了，需要经常拿起手机来。

下午上完课已经是 8 点了，下 LRT 后去 Safeway 逛了一圈。里面卖的东西特别多，想买的也特别多。不过很多东西都很贵，好些都舍不得买；另外一方面是需要考虑室友的情况，还是有点难办的。

一天过得好快，今天只感觉自己的英文需要提升和练习的太多了。
