Look Back to 2012

       Something came to my mind these days. Since I am in the beginning of the new year but also the final of this semester, the first semester of my college life. Therefore, I sank into deem mood last night for meditating what I have done in the year 2012 and what should I improve. In the last year, there are so many things that change my attitude toward life. Preparing for the entrance exam, I wasn’t emerge in the book every day, however, I have lots of good friend that I believe they will be the very important people in my whole life. We talk about the future, share our troubles, even be silly together. Whenever I was exhausted because of the school pressure, they are my only solution to being optimistic again. Apart from having good friends, after entering college was a whole new world for me. After Leave my home town alone without friends and family around, I became mature and independent in the last four months which surprised me a lot for the change not only my personality but the attitude. I would think in a more mature way than I used to be in high school. I collect my thoughts every night before I go to bed. I feel pleasant to change in that way in the last year. It was a wonderful year in my whole life.

My new goal in 2013

     My new goals are not very extraordinary. Since I entered college, I have met many friends from different backgrounds and characteristics and many school activities stimulated me to think about what my goals are and how to fulfill them. Though I haven’t thought up any objectives after graduation from college, I have some plans in the year 2013. First, I registered the tour guide test in March. The reason why I want to apply for the professional certification is not I want to be a tour guide in the future. I just consider it a challenge after undergo the college entrance exam for the subjects are history and geographic which I have learn before. In addition, having a guide tour professional certification is much cooler than having a driving license at my age. Second, I also want to participate in the TOEIC which I should have already joined. Sometimes I found my English standard is fading away! In comparison with the period of preparing for the entrance exam, I am regressing. Therefore, I wish that in the New Year I can work hard on the tour guide certification and the TOEIC at the same time. Last but not least, I wish that I can find a way in the future such as what I want to do after graduation.  

A Wonderful New Year

This four days vacation was the best new year holiday of my life. It had been almost one month since I last went home. The reason why the vacation was so meaningful to me was that I had a reunion with my junior high school friends and my cram school math teacher. Speaking of the math teacher from the cram school, he was the only person that changed my life. Not only did he give a lot of instruction and confidence to encourage me not to give up on math, but also lead me through the adversity in my life. Whenever I was frustrated, I would go to his office and ask for solution. This time when I step in his office, those familiar memory soon haunted in my mind. What a pity was that we only talked about one hour. However, I am very happy to see him again and share my new college life with him. The other three days I went to Ilan to celebrate the coming of new year with some of my best friends in junior high school. Though the weather was bad, freaking cold outside, I felt warm. We went to the night market, lake and even went to the farm on foot for two hours. It was crazy to walk on the mountain road in such low temperature. To prevent from feeling bored, we turn the music loud and sing along together. Sometimes we just walked without talking, I can hear the birds chirping, which had a lot of difference from the experience in my hometown Taipei. After we arrived at the farm, we bought bottles of beers and celebrated the coming of new year in the room together. I think the most unforgettable memory in our journey is that the bond between. When we chatting, it was like we were going back to seventeen. To sum up, this short vacation was a recharge for me because the reality is the final exam is around the corner. Its time to study hard!

The One Act Play

        Tomorrow night we will have a traditional performance call “One Act Play” in our foreign language and literature department store. Preparing for the performance for almost one month, we all learn a lot. Not only “how to act” but also the cooperation. Our play is call” Gun Violence”, the hot social issue recently. Everyone has he or she’s own work to do, for example, the director, actor and actress, and stage light group. As for me, I am in the stage property group. Though it was sort of busy and tried sometimes, I enjoyed it a lot because I love painting since I was young. This is our first performance as a freshman, there still a lot of defects that need to be improved. To be frankly, I am nervous for tomorrow. I believe that tomorrow will be very perfect if we work hard with our’s utmost!

New Goal

      In these days, I have been thinking a lot about my future because I went to several lectures about study abroad. Those lectures really provoke me to stop fooling around and start to think about my life. As we all know, we can’t really make any prediction about our future but, in my opinion, we can make a picture in our minds to take a peek of the future. Going abroad is the best way to improve my English while we can also broaden our horizons. For example, we may get in touch with foreigners, and to know other cultural. Last but not least, to steel ourselves in the adversities and become mature and independent. As a 18 years old students, I consider it a great importance of exploring the world instead of being buried in the books. I want to see the world while I am still young. Therefore, I made a decision to going abroad in the future whether by working holidays or studying abroad.

Tragedy

       After a “series” of exam over the last two weeks, we’ve became true college students! Though there is still one exam on Wednesday we haven’t finished, I totally set out sight of relief. In comparison with the exam we took in the high school, the exam we took in college is much more difficult and more complicated. For example, the time is longer, no multiple choice question but essay question instead. At the first time, I was very nervous about the exam for getting bad grades. Unfortunately, my concern came true in the end. My grades didn’t look good which really upsets me. Then, I realized that my English is getting more and more poorer than the period of time that I was preparing for the college entrance exam. The words I use are too shallow and the vocabulary I used to remember four months ago are disappeared as if someone stole my brain and erase all the knowledge away. Trying to improve myself and make up for the tragedy next time, I will work hard with all my strength. Hope that I will fulfill my goal in the final exam!

Welcome My New Dog and Break Through the Obstacles

     Last week was a combination of gladness and tiredness for me. First, here came a new member to my family! A black Poodle, whose name haven’t been think of came to my house last weekend. Since he was only two month old, too small to eat solid food, my sister feed him milk every day. Though he is the Poodle, I think he looks like the black little lamp very much. Seeing from the Internet, because I can’t go home , the little black furry ball always catch my eyes. There are one thing that really interests me is that I can’t identify his eyes and nose on the face for his curly hair is a totally dark, black fur ball. Therefore, I am extremely looking forward to going home, hugging the cute poppy and playing trick with him. In addition, there is one thing that cast the dark light on me. Owing to the midterm exam, I study so hard every night with my dorm mates. Rushing to the library after class, we sank into the English text books rapidly. We can’t even go home because of the exam and burning the midnight oil is common for us. Since it is the first exam in college, I am very worried about it for blowing it. However, I am still trying to relax myself and not to let the stress push me too far. I am hoping that I can get through the exam safely.
