12/27

My aunts are nice to me. Sometimes my mother and my aunts get together and visit my grandmother. After the meeting, my aunts will bring me some piece of cakes. I feel that I am like a princess when having the cakes they prepare for me. It is warm to know that I am always on their mind.

12/24

I like the color purple. The reason why I like this color is related to my childhood. When I was a child, I liked candy, especially the grape flavor. Usually the candy of grapes is purple; therefore, the color purple is attractive to me. Gradually purple becomes my favorite color. Whenever I have to make decisions about color, I would certainly choose purple.

12/22 Stories

Are witches all bad? I read the book, The Witches, written by Roald Dahl. I wonder about the witches' plot. Why do they want to do all children in the world away? Aren't they mothers of their children? If they don't have children, then where do the witches come from? Anyway, it is just a story like other fairy tales. They don't have to be reasonable at all.

12/21 Silence

It is silent in my rented place at night. If someone make any sound, it will be obvious and everyone in the dorm will hear the sound. Living on the first floor, I can hear the voices of my neighbors. They open the door of the entrance, they walk in, they open the doors of their rooms with keys, and then they close the doors. It represents that if I make any noise, my neighbors will hear it. As a result, I seldom sing now. I am afraid that people will be scared to hear some strange voices.

12/20 Hobby

I like to collect. Collecting things is interesing to me. I've collected many kinds of things. Special pasters, pencils, and stamps are my collections. I like pasters because it is fun to stick them on anywhere I want as decorations, and pencils arise my memories in my childhood. I like stamps because there are many beautiful pictures on them. I feel that I am rich with the collections I like though they may be nothing to others.

12/19 Dream

I used to draw pictures when I was a child. In my free time, I often carried a pencil, crayons, and paper with me. As a little girl, I always dreamed about being a princess, just like those princess in fairy tales. Therefore, princess wearing dresses often appeared on my paper. Now I am 20, I guess being a princess is not my dream any more...probabaly.

12/18 Interesting Thing

Some people encourage others that they should be in love during their lives in university. It is said by those who agree the opinion that after people gratuate and start woring, it is hard for them to find suitable mates. Therefore, they think that people have to keep relationships when they have opportunities in university. They say, "The man you date with may be your husband in the furture." They mean, "Catch the chance." I guess. Hey, girls. Keep waiting. Maybe your Prince Charming and Mr. Right will appear soon. Ha!

12/17 Memories

When I was in junior high, my best friend and I used to write to each other. Instead of writing on the paper as letters, we wrote in our secret notebooks. We had conversations about everything, the classmates, the stars, and something had happened before included. We shared and accepted as we were family. We still keep our secret notebooks now, and whenever we review them, memories would pop out. It is a wonderful thing that we can own these together.

12/16 Vegetarian

My good friend is a vegetarian because of her religion. Certainly, she dosen't eat meat and some particular flavoring plants, such as garlic and allium. The strange thing to me is that having food with cayenne pepper is okay to her. It do make no sense to me. She explains that garlic and allium will arise our desires of sex, but cayenne peper will not. Well, I respect her choice and opinion. After all, the world is colorful because of many religions and cultures.

12/15

There are some problems with my computer, so I have to post my “short paragraphs” at once. I will keep writing in my blog. Before my computer is fixed up, I have to borrow computers from others. Therefore, I will publish my posts aperiodically.

12/14 Volleyball

I played volleyball in PE class today. In fact, I was not good at this sport, so I had to practice more. I tried to follow the instructions, and I did make improvements. In the end, my right arm turned black and blue. It hurt.

12/13 Singfu Street

I found a street called Singfu Street on the way. It caught my attention. “Singfu” means “happiness” in Chinese. I have never seen it as a name of street like this. It is an interesting name. Maybe it represents that all the people living there are always happy, or when people walk on this street, they will feel happy. If that is true, it will be a wonderful place to live.

12/12 "Good Night"

There are some activities of my club this week. I have to introduce some information of dogs tonight. When I was talking about it, I found that no one listened to me. Some people were chatting, some people were nodding, and others just stared at the front absent-mindedly. I felt awful. I thought that they did pay attention to this issue, but it seemed like no one really cared about it.

12/11 Aunt Sweet

One aunt tells me that she will introduce me a nice person. It is said that he is tall, good-looking, and kind of shy. Well, I am not ready for a relationship, so I rejecte it. However, the aunt insists harder than I, therefore, I may have to meet someone I don’t know in the near future. Interestingly, the aunt emphasizes that she just wants the person and I could become friends, and then she mentions that she have already set up six couples of steadies.

12/0 Husky

I met a husky today. It looked beautiful and peaceable. I thought it might get lost, so I decided to help him. I took it to Animal Disease Control Center to see if it had been registered by its master, but it didn’t work. Then there was a man who worked in the center, he wanted to keep it. He looked nice to me, so I just left the dog there and walked back to school by myself. The husky was a good dog. I am glad that it can find one who loves it.

12/9 Relationship

According to the recent report, suicide is the main cause of death, and emotional problems are the main reasons for people who suicide to kill themselves. Sexual experts say that nowadays relationships of people who fell in love with their boyfriends or girlfriends always are like the relationship of marriage. They may live together or consider each other as their lifetime mates, so when they break up, the situations are like divorces. That is why so many people are unacceptable to the pressure of emotional problems and they suicide.

12/8 Language

Language is an instrument for people to communicate. People from different countries speak different languages. Some languages are similar, while some languages are totally dissimilar. I learn English and Japanese now, and they have some similarities. Japanese also has other similarities with Taiwanese. Therefore, sometimes I can connect them. Learning these languages will help me communicate with English-speaking people and Japanese. That will be wonderful if I can manage it.

Peace

There are many stray dogs in our society. Many people think that there shouldn't be any dog in the campus. However, it is impossible to keep dogs out. They need food to feed themselves and obviously the campus, which is full of sources of food, is just like Heaven to them. The important thing is that people shouldn't deprive other animals'living spaces. What human beings have to learn is to get along with other creatures peacefully. Everyone should pay attention to this issue.

Fortune

I think I am a lucky person. Many people around are nice to me and always care about me. If I am sick, they will send me warm messages. If I feel frustrated, they will encourage me. I think to myself, "How lucky I am to meet people who love me." I don't want to let them down because I love them, too.

Desire

Desire motivates people to reach their goals in their lives. Some want to own products of famous brands and some want to have ideal jobs. People have different wishes, but most of them love money. The more, the better. Many people work hard to earn money in order to make their dreams come true. Desire is powerful. Without the motivation, people will not succeed.

Best Friends 12/4

There are many dogs in my club. Now we have more than ten to take care of. We take turns to walk the dogs and feed them everyday. Some people think that the dogs are lucky to meet us, but I think it is unsuitable to lock them in the room all the time. They always look forward to our coming because that means they can go out and after that they can enjoy their meals. Actually, the best way to help them is to find them masters who can look after them and love them. We should try harder to bring them happiness.

Fear

As an English major in Yuntech, I should be good at this language. I have learned English for many years, and now this is my second year in college, but it seems that I do not do my best to improve my abilities. In fact, I am afraid of speaking in English with other people. When I talk in English, I am worried that I may make some stupid mistakes. Even an ordinary greeting will make me nervous. I am shamed for that. I am an English major, and I should make it a reality!

Disvovery

People want to make their dreams come true. They are eager for something, and they try to achieve their goals. That is wonderful to be passionate toward dreams. I am thinking about my dream. What is it? Or what will it be? I don't know, but I want to find it out. I think that is important to me. I need the answer to find back my passion.

Forgive me!

Oh, my god! I've forgotten to keep writing in my blog for a long time! It IS a serious problem. I think I have to post one essay per day now. I was busy working on my club before, and I didn't manage my time well. In fact, the goal that I was trying to reach seemed too difficult to complete. I just tried to do the things I planed, but when I told my members about my ideas, I couldn't find their passion. Maybe what I need is to take it easy, and everything will be alright.

2007/10/21

I had a cup of coffee this afternoon with my mom and her friends in BAR-DEN. The coffee shop is so famous that many people who love coffee come here to taste the wonderful drink. We enjoyed our party there. Now what I have to worry is that I may be sleepless tonight because of caffeine.

2007/10/19

I am used to the work in Door's English. I review for the students, listen to them read story books, and check their homework and corrections. Not knowing what to do, I was confused before. Now everything is okay to me. I can handle the work well. Thanks for Adelaide, Jill, and Fiona's help.

2007/10/17

I decide to make the dream, taking care of stray dogs in campus and making them become guard dogs, come true. What I have to do is to do propaganda to let every one realize this plan and collect funds to help stray dogs. I am not sure whether this plan will work, but I will give it a try. I need my members' help. Most of all, I need every one in Yuntech to support this project.

Try

I miss my cats. I didn't go home this weekend because there are too many works for me to complete. I have to finish all tasks in time. It's so hard to make it. In order to be good, I should do my best. I know, but I… I'll just give it a try.

Cram

I got another part-time job in Door's English, which is a cram school of English learning. The teacher, Adelaide, is nice. I met her when being a volunteer in order to help stray dogs. I am so happy about that I have such a wonderful job, but there are too many things for me to learn. It makes me feel that it is a CRAM school!

Happy Lunch Time

My teacher who teaches Japanese and Japanese Culture us nice to me. She invited me to have lunch together with her sister, who is kind and passionate. They took me to a Korean restaurant on Rd. Zhong-Shan. The food there was great, and we enjoyed our dished. Thanks for their generous invitation!

New Hairstyle

Sunday, October 7, 2007
I had a haircut today. Just made my bang look different. It was strange that when I went out from the barbershop, I felt brand-new. Something changed. I guess things will be fine.

Lesson

Friday, October 5, 2007
I have sent my opportunities away. I am busy handling some things of my club recently. There are many activities that I have to attend. Although I have known the dead line of applying for scholarships before, I totally forgot it when the day came. Unfortunately, I lost my chance to hand in my sheets in time. I do learn a lesson from this experience. Today is the best present.

My Opinion

Tuesday, October 2, 2007
My writing teacher, Chris, is confused about the meaning of Moon Festival. It is true that the moon shows up everyday except in some special situations. Why do the Chinese celebrate on the day that seems no difference to other people? I think that people in the past emphasize the importance of family, so they make some traditions of having family reunions on some special days in one year. Also, the full moon means "perfection" because of the circle shape. Maybe that is the reason people celebrate for.

Revolution

I went to Douliu Night Market last night with the principal of my club to be volunteers. We helped the association of caring stray animals explain some details about raising stray dogs. All of us wanted to protect those puppies from mercy killing, but what we could do was to do our best to find kind masters for them, then they would have chances to live. It is unfair that human beings decide how long stray animals should live. I hope that we can make more practical laws to help them.

Friday, September 28, 2007
I went home today with my mom. When I got home, I found that one of my cats had some problems with her eyes. I worried that it might be the sign of some diseases. Fortunately, her eyes bettered a lot by and by. My mom said that my cat had had some fish before. Both of us were confused because we never hear that cats are susceptible to fish.

Reunion

Tuesday, September 25, 2007
I took my friend, Fiona, home with me to celebrate Moon Festival. If I just had left her in the dorm, she would have to be alone during this vacation. My family welcomed her to visit us. No one should be lonely when everybody stays together with his or her family and friends. Although we didn't have a barbecue today, we still enjoyed this special festival. We had a lot of moon cakes, fruits, and all kinds of food. What a day! Everything seemed terrific.

Graduation Ceremony

I participated in the graduation ceremony of my high school this Friday. Many teachers couldn’t recognize me because I used to have long straight hair but curly now. This time they decorated the assembly hall with many yellow sunflowers and blue sky made of paper. I was one of the designers of decorating the assembly hall for my graduation ceremony last year. I remember that I put many colorful planes made of paper for settings. It was an special experience to work with many people.

My Cats

I have two cats in my house. Both of them are female. Because I study in Yuntech and live in the dorm of school now, I am home only on the weekends. When I go home, my cats are so close to me. They will walk to me as soon as I call them. I think they like to be stroked on their backs, but sometimes Mimi will be displeased if I hug her too long. I love my cats. They bring me happiness and make my life more alive.

Rainy Days

It is always raining these days. Everything is wet, even the air. Some people don’t like rainy days because rainy days make them sad. Some people think that they can not go anywhere or do anything in rainy days. Well, I don’t think so. I can still do many things in rainy days if I want. For example, I can do my homework and my final paper at home, or just listen to music to relaxing myself. It’s up to me.

A Fish That Smiled At Me

This picture book is created by Jimmy. The story is about a man who owned a lovely fish. One day the man met the fish which was smiling at him. He loved the fish and took her home. When he bathed or watched TV, the fish stayed with him and smiled. One night the man was woke up by a green light the fish shed. The fish was flying in the sky. The man followed the fish and they went to the sea. The fish was swimming happily around him. Then he joined the fish, swimming freely in the water. Suddenly, he found that he was stuck in a big fishbowl. He was helpless. Finally, he opened his eyes. It was a dream. He looked at the fish which was looking at him and smiling. He thought again and again. Then he made a decision; he would let her go back to the sea. At last they did swim together with happiness in the wide and deep ocean.

Indecisive

My mom always tells me that I should express myself directly while getting along with others. If I have some thinking in my mind, just speak out my true feelings. I know how to do it, but it is kind of hard to me. I always think too much about what things could be or how will people feel with my different decisions. That is one big problem of mine; I am indecisive. Sometimes I couldn't even decide what to eat for dinner.

Taking Pictures

I like to take pictures in sunny days. When the sun shines, colors of things will be brighter. The main characters of my pictures always are living plants that are sometimes neglected by people. I feel so surprised frequently at impressing colors and beautiful looks which plants show. I would like to display the loveliness of the world through my pictures because some people are too busy and rushed to discover some tiny but interesting things around them. I hope that people who see my pictures will feel in the same way with me.

Fortune

I find a wonderful place to rent a room for my next semester. I didn't get the opportunity to live in the dorm, so I had to look for new one. I also find a good part-time job that I have to show people who want to rent the rooms the architecture of the house. The renter is one of my uncle's friends, and he is so generous that he will give students bonuses if they are in the first places in studies. I think I am extremely lucky that I can live in the beautiful environment in the near future.

Caffeine

Sometimes I am insomnious because of caffeine. I know that I won't be able to sleep well if I have cups of tea or coffee, but I ignore it. No matter I drink them in the morning or at night, the side effect comes whenever I want to sleep. Some people won't be affected by caffeine. I hope I can be like them, and then there will be no need for me to worry about my sleepless problem.

My Aunt

My aunt, the youngest sister of my mom, is nice to me. She counts me her own daughter. She always buys me many things, such as clothes, make-up, or shoes. I have liked her since I was a child. She called me little Li-yu when I was a little girl. Now I am 20, she still treats me like before. I love her; she is just like another mother of mine.

Story

I had written a story when I was in elementary school. It was a story about a magic house. The house would appear while the forest was full of heavy fog. Only the children of the specific family could enter this house. There were a lot of rooms in the house, and every room had different function. I can't remember those details now, but I really want to read the story again. However, I lost my paper, and I can't read it anymore.

An Activity of My Club

I was busy this week. My club held a big activity. The first day we introduced what our club has done and our members. The second day we invited a veterinarian to explain some issues about animals. The third day we shared our experiences of having pets, and walked dogs together. I was satisfied about this activity, though it was not good enough.

Mother's Day

I visited both of my grandmothers today because of Mother's Day. I had lunch with my grandmother who is my dad's mother. Then I had dinner with my grandmother who is my mom's mother. Coincidentally, both of them gave me allowances, and they didn't allow me to return the money back. My mom said that it was strange that I received gifts from my grandmothers instead of giving them presents on Mother's Day.

Today I went out with my best friend, Chia-ling, in Chia-yi. We shared our life experience and thoughts together. She said that she has a boyfriend, and she will introduce him to me next week. I was curious about him. I wondered what kind of person he is. She only told me that I will see if I meet him. We talked about many things as we have never lived apart. I felt happy today, and I would wait for the coming of our meeting next week.

My Hometown

My hometown is a friendly place to live. I grow up in Chiayi and I enjoy my life there. Most people in Chiayi County are farmers who work hard to plant fruits, vegetables, or other things. Most farmers are traditional, so they always welcome visitors to their places. They also care about their neighbors and friends. As soon as something happens, everyone knows about it. When someone has trouble, people would help him or her immediately. Finally, they would share what they have with each other. If you want to find a place to live, myhometown, Chiayi, would be a good choice.

The Best Dog in the World

Written by Mirian Moss
Illustrated by Jutta Bücker
This is a lovely story about a little boy, Henry, and his granddad's big dog, Harvey. Henry and Harvey don't want to meet each other, and they a don't like each other either. One day, they go out for a picnic on granddad's birthday and then something happens. They get stock in a small barn by a thunderstorm. When they try to accept each other, it stops raining. When they are close to each other, the storm is over. They're afraid of each other at first beginning, but finally they become the best partners in the world.

Different

Everyone is different from each other. People might have different personalities, different capabilities, different habits, or different appearances. There's no need to feel strange about the differences between each other.People who are from different families would be different, still less people who are from different cultures or countries.

Chinese New Year Ⅱ

Nowadays, people still keep this tradition and they write some good sentences on red papers for bringing fortune. On New Year Eve, family would get together to have dinner. The best for children is to have lucky money in red envelopes which mean good luck from adults. On the first day of the new year, people wear new clothing to get rid of those bad things of the last year. On the roads or streets, you could see many people celebrating. Everyone congratulates to each other for having a new beginning. There are many traditions. Most of all, people enjoy this traditional festival.

Chinese New Year Ⅰ

Every end of the year, people would clean up their houses to welcome the oncoming of the new year. People put Spring Festival couplets on the walls around the doors. Legend has it that there was a monster appearing during the end of the year. It ruined everything in the farm, even ate people. Once people found that it was afraid of red and fireworks, so people used them to drive of the monster.

X Holiday

Holiday! That's what I am always waiting for. I shouldn't be like that, but I can't help it. I have to admit that I am a lazy person. I always think that what I do is good enough, but the truth is that I've never done anything with all my heart. That's sad! I have to change my mind, being active. That's the way to live. Somehow I am not sure if it is the life I want. I will try to find it out.

The Green Mile

Yesterday I saw a movie with my computer."The Green Mile" I think it is an old film because Tom Hanks looked so young in this movie. There was a man who had magic power. He could treat pain and disease of people, even animals. Also, he could know what people were thinking at that moment and what people had done before. It seemed that having such marvelous a miracle was wonderful. However, the man was not happy, but painful instead. He saw people being ugly to each other, and many tragic things happening all over the world. He suffered from those nightmares. Only death could release him… I felt so sad about that.

The Injured Angel

I've read a book called "The Injured Angel" recently. There was a mental handicapped girl. She was different from others. She didn't know how to do her homework, and she didn't like to attend class, neither. Some of her classmates would laugh at her because she often wet her pants. Some people would tease her because of her difference. Thanks to her brave mother, the little girl could grow up happily. Her mom said that all the children were angels before they came to this world, her little girl was just injured on her way. Therefore, she would let the girl be capable to fly independently again.

Hurt

I wore my favorite skirt today. This morning I stood at my closet, asking myself what I wanted to wear. "The skirt!" replied a voice in my mind. Well, I thought it was a proper day to wear it. Then I wore my new pair of shoes which my uncle just gave me yesterday. Something happened… Ouch! I bruised my heels!

Dream

I always dream when I sleep at night. I dream about many things. Some of them are wacky, some of them are terrible, but there are still some good dreams. If I don't review the dream after I wake up, I won't remember the action. Maybe I can write my dreams down, collecting them into a story book, or maybe I should take the courses of psychology, then I can analyze all of my dreams.

Energy

I feel more comfortable than before now. I've done many things during the midterm week. Though there are still some things I haven't finished, I can handle them with energy now. By the way, the weather is so hot! The sun seems evaporate everything!

Obsessive-compulsive Disorder

I have seen a movie which the leading man has obsessive-compulsive disorder before. He can't stand any condition without following his willing. He must go to the same restaurant, and order the same meal with the same waitress. Before going to bed, he needs to check whether or not the door is locked for three times. Something like that. I was very impressed by his behavior. I hope that I wouldn't be like him.

Jimmy

I love picture books. Jimmy is the person who brought me into the world of them. "A Garden In My Heart" is the first book I read written and illustrated by Jimmy. He used simple and brief words to express deep meanings. Despite the words, his pictures could turn into many stories. Some of them are sad, humorous, or ridiculous. Every time I read it, I would have different reflections.

Regret

I think I am too moody when I am in bad mood. I have such nice friends. How could I criticize them in that way! I love my friends. I should always remind myself of that.

Panic

Sometimes I would feel panic, especially last few days. I am always not sure that if I do finish my work. There are a lot of things that I need to complete, whether I know what those things are or not. I try to figure them out, fearing that I may miss something important... Hey, Eve, cheer up! Just make your life brand-new!

Complexity

There's one thing that bothers me frequently. I think I am an optimistic person, but when I am sleepless, I would become pessimistic. If I sleep well, go to bed early, or take a snap when I feel tired, everything would be perfect and wonderful to me. I live in the dorm with my roommates now. We live in different ways; of course, everybody has his/her uniqueness. I do agree with that. However, I can't really stand it when they ignore or neglect my need. They often speak or play the music loud freely when I am sleeping. I don't like this way people wake me up. I try to calm down whenever this thing happens. I hate myself that I dare not express my feelings directly to other people.

Election

I am the pro-principal of my club with an election. When my members called out the name selected in a ballot, I thought to myself it was so surprising. I didn't know that my members would be behind me. I was happy. I hope that I will be suitable for this position.

Purple

I love purple. When I was little, I always chose grape flavor candies. Grapes are purple; therefore, I fell in love with my favorite color, purple. "What color should I choose?" Whenever this question appears, I know that purple is the best choice to me. I won't regret as I make the right decision. Though it seems to make no sense, I just like the color.

My Life

My campus is so beautiful. Last year I came here with my mom. It was my first time to visit Yuntech. Now I am here to study in the department I chose; that is what I dream for. I also dream for being a good English speaker. I should catch this chance, because I am here now. There are many colorful trees and flowers on campus. Birds sing lovely songs in every morning. Everything seems wonderful to me.

My Grandma

I love my grandma. She played an important role in my childhood. Whenever she attended any activity, she invited me. We went shopping together, traveled together, and sometimes we slept together. Our relationship was good. Now I am 20. Many things changed, but we still love each other as before.

A Good Night

I had a basketball game last night. It was also one activity held by my club. One group consisted of two people. One was a boy, another one was a girl. We made an appointment that everyone should have been there on the basketball court on time. I did be there on time, but I couldn’t find my friends. Fortunately, I met Bo-wei, one of my friends. After we drew lots, we surprisingly found that we were partners. What a coincidence! He was a cute guy. Anyway, I had a good night with my friends yesterday.

Being A Volunteer

I went to a pound with my members of Oauoau Club yesterday. There were many kinds of animals, such as dogs, rabbits, ducks, goats, and pigs. Being volunteers, we cleaned up the ground and enjoyed ourselves. Afterward we had a BBQ at the club principal's home. When I went back to my dorm, I was worn out, but that was worthy to me.

Nothing

Now I am alone in my dorm, looking for something, but I don’t know what exactly I want. Maybe I am just too tired. I need some music. Yah, I think that’s what I need now.

An Experience of Fundraising

Yesterday I had a fundraising on Rd. Yunlin with my members of Oauoau Club, which is a student club in Yuntech, because we are going to hold an activity of being volunteers for stray dogs. We visited so many stores to look for kind donors, but we were refused many times. However, all of the three stores I visited did donate for our club. I was happy about that. If they had rejected me, I would be very, very, very frustrated and disappointed.

Shopping Alone

Today I went shopping in Chiayi City alone. Some people had asked me, "Why don't you find someone to go with you?" Well, I do enjoy going shopping myself, though it seems like a boring thing to most people. When I go out alone, I can go anywhere I want and I can also spend much time picking what I want. There's no need to worry about if other people would be impatient. I feel myself free. Maybe I am eager for freedom all the time.

Next!

Next week I'll have a lot of activities, such as a basketball game of my club, and a sports meet of my department. I'm expecting for that. I seldom participated in activities of school before. Sometimes I feel uncomfortable to get along with people who I haven't known well about, but now I'm going to overcome it. Well, I hope so.

How To Continue A Conversation?

Yesterday I met one of my old friends on line. He was a special person to me. We had been classmates for five years. There were a lot of things happened during our high school time. I was glad that we could chat lightly together, but the only thing that I didn't know how to improve is: I couldn't continue a conversation. It's one big problem that I've troubled with. Whenever people try to make a conversation with me, my answers will end it. Because of my easy, short, and brief answers, people wouldn't know how to keep it. I understand this situation, but I just don't know what else I can say. Maybe I should practice it frequently.

Who Am I?

"What do they think about me?" "Would they feel that I'm terrible if I do so?" I did care about these before. It made me feel pressured and I couldn't even be myself. Now I know that who I am: I am the one who can realize exactly what I feel, and understand truly what I want. That's me!

*I learned writing from paragraph to essay. The teacher taught me about the structure and development of a paragraph, outlining an essay, itroductions, and conclusions, etc.
*One of my weak points is that I could only use some simple words and grammar. And sometimes I have no idea about some topics I've never considered.
*The first week of school was nice to me. I met some new teacers. Chris, one of my teachers in this semester, is very humorous.
