Afternoon It's 4 p.m. here and I just wandered my campus with my few friends. We surprisingly noticed that we haven't visited whole around of it although it's the second year in this university. Our campus it's quite pretty especially the agriculture departments. After class we had a "ice cream" date nearby a pond and we even name some duck by our friend's name. lol haha anyway, it's a wonderful afternoon in the daily life.

Thank you, all of you This article is talk about appreciation.One of my best friend visited me today. I really appreciate him. Since we have been friend in senior high school, we know that each others' hobbit and we can chat whole night without sleeping.I appreciate God let me meet this guy.I appreciate italki let me have many opportunities to share my story to you guys. My friend now is confusing about the changing university things.In our generation, we do not have many choices when we were just high school students. As a result, the most important thing in that term is studying hard. But when we get in to the college ,it feels like suddenly we are regarded as an adult and finally can control our lives. Some of us may feel nervous about this dramatic changing and we too. I see this change a challenge and I believe that I can find my own way. :) Maybe we can exchange some experience to each other. :) your sincerely,Jim

Tired weekend I have a lot of things to do this weekend. First I have to review calculus and finish my applicant mechanic homework.Both of them are hard.I wish that I can improve my grade in this new semester.To approach this goal,I have to study harder than before. But there comes a problem that I have a job to being a tutor and I will be a main character in a show. Every night I feel exhausted but I always say "I can do this." to myself. So... cheer up. >,<

Getting busy Nowadays, I got a job. Being a tutor is a high reward part-time job to university students. I am lucky enough to have this part-time job. Besides,my student is a lovely junior high school student and she will take a entrance exam. So that is why her parents hire me to teach her. The latest time I taught her when I ask her if we take 5 mins rest? She said "No!". It's really surprise me. After two more hours class,I was exhausted but she still be excited. As a result,I thought I have a responsibility to help her to get higher score. I must to do!!!

A little bit boring These days in Taiwan,Chinese new year was over and the new semester began.To the students like me,it's really not a good news.It means we will be force to study hard to pass subjects.It was a nightmare to me because I major in civil engineering. I think that most students in Taiwan,they do not know what they want to be and what they want to do in their future, so do I.In the result,I considered about changing department seriously.This idea showed up in my mind every days and nights. And then, in this winter break. I have a chance to build a work with Japanese students.I was really curious about that if changing department was common in Japan? Surprisingly,It's not. They told me that they haven't known that someone changed his or her department before. What a surprising! After that,I reconsider about it. I make a deal to myself. No matter which way I choice. I should enjoy it!

Grade This year is the first year in the university and I feel that it's many difference between college and high school.I must to face more challenge after I got in the university.The new environment,the new classmates......etc.Some of them let me be frustrated. Yesterday, I got my score of this semester and it's really make me upset.It's lower than my expectation. (It make me think about.....) It is not a tough thing to be a university student in Taiwan.As a result, there comes a saying told that to be a college student the point what you got was not important but finding the direction of your life.It confused me because in the past years,we (Taiwan or maybe other Asian countries) were asked to be a "good" student that means get more points in tests,remember some knowledge ......etc.That might be the first time in our life when I asked myself"What would you want to be?" or"Do I like the civil engineering department ?" It seem that I have to figure out these questions before I find my life direction. Hope you guys can give me some suggestion or maybe we can exchange our idea about college education. :)

About the traveling Traveling always attract people.To see the different country or to experiment the difference between cultures is some of the reason.Just like this time I went to Yunnan during my winter vacation.I must say that there was definitely the most beautiful place I've ever been.The sky was blue so does the lake,but they do have their advance.The minority nationality there feel like the aboriginals in our island.They were as passionate as the aboriginals. The most impressing thing is that the show which they performed in front of the snowy mountain(their saint mountain).It's really touch. I saw some audiences even drop their tear after the show. Hope that next you have a chance to see what I described. :)

About learning English I saw a book which context told me not to "study" English instead we should "learning" it. The writer said that Asian like us usually "study" English like study any other subject and it's meaningless. I think maybe he is right. Just as we learn Chinese when we were young. We won't take Chinese as a subject instead we take it as a tool.That may be the result we can't do well in English.

Where did you go in winter vacation?

I just went to the 雲南 to see the scene there. I thought this was a wonderful travel. The scenes were great. The food in hotel were delicious. The culture there was full of old time feeling.And this was my first time to see the snow. It's an impressive experience.
