Fresh Gaiety?
The other day I was reading a short story by Maupassant named The Blind Man. And I encountered this paragraph at the beginning of the story:
"The blind, as they sit in the doorways, impassive in their
eternal darkness, remain as calm as ever in the midst of this
fresh gaiety, and, not understanding what is taking place around
them, they continually check their dogs as they attempt to play."
I know the paragraph is describing the blind people's life, but what "fresh gaiety" means? Does blindness bring happiness?

"Loulou wouldn't keep quiet"?
I was reading an English translation of "l'aveugle", a short story by Guy de Maupassant, and I encountered this sentence there:
"Loulou wouldn't keep quiet."
What does it mean? Is that an idiom I don't know, or it's something about Loulou who is a person?

Self Confidence
I used to write a blog about a year ago. It was interesting and I liked that, of course. It wasn't a popular or famous blog, but it was mine. I had my audience, and that was giving me a fascinating feeling. I knew that there are people who read my posts, and I knew they knew me as the author of that blog. That blog...that unknown blog...was also so helpful to me. My typing speed increased, my writing skill improved, and I found many tings I didn't knew before. I learned how to start an article, and how to choose a good title for it. Blogging have changed me. It made my sitting-back-on-the-desk more... I don't know... aimful. It was a great gift, and I realize it now. I want those audience back. I want that feeling back. I want my self-confidence back.

How to correct dangling constructions?
Look at this sentence:
"Reaching the station, the sun came out."
The author is reaching the station, but in this sentence it seems that "the sun" is reaching the station :)
How can we correct sentences like this? How many ways we have to correct them?

Admiring
A part of Grammar and Writing 1 was depended to our diaries. Our teacher had said that we had to write our diaries every day and this will be one fifth of our mark.
Our new semester was started this Saturday. Yesterday I went to Mr.Amerian's office to ask him if I can get a copy from my diaries or not. As I entered to his office, which is my new Reading and Comprehension teacher's office too, he smiled. He admired me and said,'Your diaries were so good, Mr. Ghaffari. I think taht you Grammar mark was good too. wasn't?'. And I answered ,'Yes. That was good'. I didn't know what I had to do or say. I just said the statement which I believe. 'Actually that was my luck to have a course with you at the first semester.', I said. Then he advised me to being more active at the class. Suddenly Mr.Keshavarz, my Reading and Comprehension 2 teacher, said ,'I told this to him yesterday too :) That's interesting'.
After that talk I went to the dinning room for eating lunch beside my friends. I was so happy. It was just like flying. My favorite teacher had admired me. And I had one more target for next. 'Being less shy'.
What about the diaries? I tell you. I couldn't get them for copying :)

New Iranian Idol
When Asghar Farhadi won the Golden Globe, many of us became happy. Most of Iranian movies are junk; and the government supports every movie which tell its thoughts. So, when he won the Golden Globe, we felt that. We felt such a sweet,warm feeling.
The government had forbidden Asghar Farhadi to continue his movie's procedure at the middle of that because of what it believed about him as "Unconventional Speech". He had asked the government to release another Iranian director, Ja`far Panahi.
It's so amazing. The movie which they didn't want to be made won the most important prize of our cinema and is nominated for 2 Oscar. The government haven't told about winning the Golden Globe even :) But there is an Iranian famous proverb which says: "Limitation brings Creativity":) . One of the most beautiful sections of the internet for Iranian is now this picture:

You never know who you'll meet...
There are two, you know, special events since I entered to the university.The first thing is going to the dormitory. I've never been in a dormitory before; so it was a strange feeling to live with 5 ex-strange students. I never forget the moment which I introduced myself to Mojtaba (/mɔʒtæbɑ/), my first roommate.
The second is one of my masters,Mr.Amerian (/ɑːmeriɑn/).He's awesome. He's interested in watching movie. 'Have you ever seen ....?', many times during our first term he said this sentence. But the most memorable event about him is our first session.
We had Grammar and Writing 1 course with him; and he started our first session by talking about A,B,C,etc. ! We started by writing English alphabet :)
