Tonight I am planning to go to karaoke with some friends. It has been a busy week, and I feel very tired because I did not sleep well for several nights. I almost think I might fall asleep while singing, but I still want to enjoy the time. One good thing is that tomorrow I do not have any test. It has been a long time since I had a free day without exams, so I feel happy about that. However, I cannot relax too much because I have a presentation tomorrow. I need to prepare carefully for it. Luckily, my group members are very reliable and serious, so I feel strong support from them. If I am chosen as the representative for the presentation, I will be excused from the final assignment. That is a big chance, so I really want to become the representative. I already prepared my materials, so I believe I will be fine. I will print the resume and other documents tomorrow morning before class. For tonight, I think the best plan is to sleep early and get enough rest. That way I can be ready for tomorrow and do my best. I want to show my effort and energy in the presentation. I will try hard and give my best performance. I believe I can succeed. I will do my best!

Hello everyone! Last weekend, I decided to take a break from my usual routine and spend some time focusing on myself. Recently, I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed with schoolwork, part-time job shifts, and various small tasks that keep piling up. So instead of pushing myself too hard, I chose to slow down and reflect on how I’ve been spending my days. As I sat in a quiet café near my house, I found myself naturally looking back on the past year. It has been a mix of challenges and small achievements. There were stressful weeks filled with deadlines, but there were also moments when I felt proud of how much I had grown—academically, personally, and even emotionally. I realized that although I often worry about not doing enough, I have actually handled many difficult situations better than I expected. Thinking about the ups and downs of this year made me appreciate the progress I usually overlook in my busy everyday life. On Sunday, I reviewed my schedule for the upcoming weeks and set some realistic goals. I want to manage my time better so I don’t end up feeling stressed right before deadlines. I also promised myself to get more sleep and make small breaks part of my daily routine. Overall, the weekend helped me reset both mentally and physically. I feel a little lighter now, and I hope to keep this balanced mindset going forward.

Maybe it's a litlle early to talk about what we get throughout the whole year, because December just starts and usually is a fatansitic month that is full of joys and surprises. But it's the best time to look back what we did in the past 11 months and try our best to wrap up the whole year in the next 26 days. In the last 11 years, I experienced four seasons and left a lot of laughter and amazing monments. I gained a lot and also lost something, no matter what happened, I kept confident and clam to face all the challenges. I am 40 years old in 2025. There is a great Chinese saying that goes that one should have no more doubts at the age of 40. As for me, I am thankful for what I was in the past. I accept myself no matter how others think about me. I am responsable for my family and keep clam all the time.
