Today was the August full moon. I was so excited about the festival. Vietnam uses both the solar and lunar calendars. And some countries in Asia also have the festival such as: China,Singapore,Japan... However, when you expected too much about something, it would be opposite.This thing was right for me :( .

I planned to hang out with my friends tonight to enjoy fresh air and go somewhere. However, some of my friends had to take an exam about American study again. This subject is so hard for my friends and me because we had to study in english with a lot of new vocabularies. In addition, it took 4 hours per week for attending this class as well as finding out more about the subject.

Unfortunately, i was a little sick too.I really don't like this feeling. That's why i decided to stay at home to enjoy the rest of the day. I like seeing the full moon. It makes me feel piece around and in my mind as well. Moreover, i ate a piece of a mooncake and drank a cup of tea.Mooncakes are too sweet, so i don't like to eat much.

That was all for my day. Hope everything will be fine tomorrow.Now i'm going to sleep and dream about the rabbit in the sky...hehe : D I wish everyone a happy and warm night!!!

Your English is really good now, I think. I can't find any mistake in your entry. Well done.
And out of my mind,this is the first time I know that Vietnams have The Mid-Autumn Festival,too.
