Online Class Notes (Jesse)

I often feel sleepy in the last few days even though I think I got enough sleep for around 8 hours each night. I don’t know why and I guess maybe this is exactly what people are in winter haha.
My friend and I went to the new park which we had been there once before . We were not able to visit the whole park last time because it’s pretty large.There was a wide river ,and which some goods,ducks and a large group of koi fish lived in.People enjoying feeding them and we really wanted to do the same thing when we saw those lovely animals interacted with people, but we didn’t bring any food.For this time, we bought a little package of steamed buns in advance and gave all of them to those cute little animals.
We found something interesting that goods are stronger ,bossier (bossy) and smarter than ducks, and they will drive the ducks away when people throw food ,so ducks can’t get near the food when goods are there, so usually the ducks had to eat/can only get a little leftovers, poor ducks…
Besides this,we walked around the park along a better route than last time and of course we explored the rest part of the park. We came across a wide bridge and walked on to it , then we found the view of there was broad and the landscape was flat and it was quiet because there were few people around.
