Diary 2: Crazy Handful of Nothing I am sorry to be a spoiler of the show, if you have not watched Breaking Bad and planning to do so, you should not read my diary.

I have to say Breaking Bad brings me fantastic experience of watching shows again. In Episode 6, Season 1, there is a huge turnover of Walter's character, from the good and moral high school teacher, to a slippery drug dealer Heisenberg, the name comes from a great person in Chemistry History. There are details in this episode are so amazing when you notice them. First, the title of the episode is crazy handful of nothing, when the family play cards together, Walter decides to put all of his bet in when he actually has nothing good in his hand. However, it scares off Hank, his brother in law, give up his winning cards. Hank's wife looked at Walter's card and said: " a handful of nothing". This scene is just a little metaphor of what happens to Walter's next move. Drug dealers are crazy, especially the new local dealer Tuco is extremely violent. At the end of the episode, he made a deal with Tuco by a small chemistry trick, he wins 50 grand dollars with a bag of chemistry product which is the "crazy handful of nothing". The important thing for the whole story is the shift from "Walter" to "Heisenberg". "Walter" represents the weak part of him, with a head of knowledges but he can not actually use those to make his life vivid, he is forced to do extra work by some car wash boss and disrespected by his students in school. In contrast, " Heisenberg" is obviously a tricky fox, he uses whatever he gets to hide from police and extract money from drug dealers, chemistry is his capital, but the fundamental of his success comes from his skills of convincing others.

Diary 1 Okay, this is just a common day. I get bored because I have finished all the lectures and labs in this first semester in University, and I am supposed to review for my final exams. However, I am not working on that because I am watching Breaking Bad again. So I start with the first season, different with the first time I watched it, now this time I don't actually need those substitles for me anymore. I always love the plot of breaking bad, people are all on the edge, you will not expect what they would do in next step. You can tell that from first episode, a good high school teacher teaching for decades all of sudden he decides to sell drugs. People can change their long term fixed lifestyle in a quick period just by "a little push", here it is lung cancer. Walter must be confused that why he did all the right things and he does not even smoke and he ends up like this. Life always makes jokes on you, make you feel like you are ridiculous doing whatever you are doing, and even you want to change it, after all, you are still you, nothing has changed. Things trouble you may follow you the entire life, sometimes the best option is to embrace yourself and keep positive with everything. For Walter White, he wants to see how far he can go without all the strains, and he is actually capable of "cooking" meth. I am so shocked when he talks about chemistry because it is one of my favorate course, and the things he talks about, sounds basic, but I have never learned that yet in my first year of University, and the topics he talks about in his high school lecture, that's our content in first year University. I always consider Walter White as one of my chemistry teacher because he has knowledges and he can do cool stuff with knowledges, that's the point of studying, right?

Taylor Swift new song! I just listened to Taylor Swift 's new song Gorgeous. Unlike first two dark style songs in this new music album, gorgeous is more comfortable and nifty, such as the child's voice at the beginning. I feel sweet listening to her voice. When I listen to what you made me do and ready for it, I thought the whole music album would be in dark styles. I am pleasantly surprised by Gorgeous, feels like the old Taylor from her 1989. Taylor Swift you are gorgeous.

Could you please correct my novel if there's anything wrong and uncomfortable to read. I'm looking for a english native speaker partner to practice my speaking skills and I am a Chinese native speaker, if anyone is learning Chinese, I would also be happy to help!

New Comer Hello, this is my first time using italki. I was excited when I found this website since it feels great to have someone correct my journal. I have learned English since I was 6 or 7 years old but still I make a lot of mistakes in grammar and the way I use words. I have been to Canada for three years and I feel like I am just gaining more and more vocabularies but I do not actually communicate with other native speakers a lot. So I just want to try something new to improve my English in many ways.Anyways, I am a first year student of University of Toronto and just want to say hello to this community!
