Febuary is a last chance for happy (".") !

Dear A. Jasper
In the morning, I went to the temple for pay respect to the lord of buddha. and the rain drop. I felt down because I went to the temple with my heart. Rain make me afraid for my hope for Buddha.It's new month and It's important month of me for final exam. The first month of the year has gone. It's a happy time for me and everyone because It's a time for celebrate a newyear. It isn't a time to read a book like this month. I have a final exam on twenty five. It's very hard for me but I must do it. I worried about six law subject. This month is too short day but It have an important ceremony for me. It's Chinese New Year. It's important ceremony for Chinese people in Thailand or Thai people who have Chinhese race. Chinese New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon fifteen days later. The fifteenth day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade. The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements. The lunar cycle is about twenty-nine days. In order to "catch up" with the solar calendar the Chinese insert an extra month once every few years (seven years out of a nineteen-yearcycle). This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year. This is why, according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year.New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are celebrated as a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving. The celebration was traditionally highlighted with a religious ceremony given in honor of Heaven and Earth, the gods of the household and the family ancestors.
The sacrifice to the ancestors, the most vital of all the rituals, united the living members with those who had passed away. Departed relatives are remembered with great respect because they were responsible for laying the foundations for the fortune and glory of the family.
The presence of the ancestors is acknowledged on New Year's Eve with a dinner arranged for them at the family banquet table. The spirits of the ancestors, together with the living, celebrate the onset of the New Year as one great community. The communal feast called "surrounding the stove" or weilu. It symbolizes family unity and honors the past and present generations. for me, It's a time for recieve a lot of money from my cousin in my mom side because we are chinese. This year I hope that money must more than last year. ha ha ha My hope is bad. This year we will go back to Kanchanaburi Province for show respect to my grandfather on my ancient funeral. The most hope of me is get A in every subject. It's impossible I know! but I must do it with myself too. Time for happy must stop. Time for happy is time for enjoy with my friends or hanging out. Table of my activities in everyday is study and reading. I get a break by playing the guitar only. The last, Thank you A. Jasper for give a chance to me for explain a quiz that I wrote so It's a last chance for me to pass English two. so I must try to do it!
