企管之夜

yesterday was a huge event for the BA:企管之夜. it held place at PLAN B. me, as well as three other classmates had a dance performance, hence, we went earlier to rehearse and prepare. even though we didn't do as well as we practiced, we still feel proud of ourselves because this is OUR dance. we started from scratch: the music, the moves, we did everything ourselves and practiced for one month. after our performance, we joined our classmates and enjoyed the whole event. there were some other performances, snacks, drinks (actually, alcohol) and a lot of fun. we took a lot of pictures, chatted with a lot of people, did a lot of crazy stuffs and had a blast. in the end, we had to help some people get home since they got knocked unconscious from the alcohol. i think it's a great idea to find time to just sit down, chat and have fun with friends.

creative person

creative person:JK Rowling

I believe that the author of one of the world's best-selling novels Harry Potter is a creative person.

She was born in July 31, 1965, in England. Even though we all know her now as JK Rowling, but her given name at birth was Joanne Kathleen Rowling. She majored in French after her parents encouraged her into what they believed would be a wonderful career as a bilingual secretary. However, after graduating, it didn't take long for her to realize that she wasn't meant to be a secretary. She then became a teacher in English, which she enjoyed, because she could teach in the afternoon and evenings so that she could enjoy writing in the morning.

Unsuprisingly, JK Rowling started writing at a very young age. It was when she was teaching English that she started writing a novel about a "wizard". She got married, had a daughter, followed by divorce. Yet it was this time that made her more determined to finish her novel. After selling her first Harry Potter, she received enough money to give up teaching and write full time; she described this as her happiest moment of her life.

JK Rowling is very passionate about writing. She has practically been writing for all her life yet her love for it has never decreased. But what makes me really think that she's a creative person is her imagination. Think of the world she created in the Harry Potter series; that's not something anyone can do. The names, the characters, the story line, the rules in the magic world, the spells, the school, the creatures, just about everything is facinating. By the amount of copies sold and the languages translated, it is obvious that the gifted JK Rowling is a well-known creative person.
