Meekness Is Not Weakness

"Meekness is not weakness." When I walked into the classroom, I saw this sentence on the whiteboard. I think both of meek people and weak people will be happy to see it.

After class, I tried to talk with Dr. Walker a little bit, because I was stressed out in this research and writing class and by his tons of assignments. However, the conversation didn't go on like only " a little bit" but turned out to be two hours long. Talking from my paper to literature to American history to Taiwan issue to his family, he was just eloquent. Everytime when I wanted to leave, he came up with new things, and I just didn't know how to stop him. But, it was really nice to talk to him. He is pretty learned.

Miss Home...

Mam, Dad,

I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you.I miss you...

Those Days

Studying in Ranera Bread is kind of cool, because it reminds me of those days that I studied in tea shops and cafes with friends.

Those days were so cozy. We used to talk and laugh much more than to study.

I miss my friends in China wondering how they are doing. Do they miss me as well?

Road

I've already got tired of writing this everyday, but if I can't even bear this, how can I deal with my thesis which is going to be like 50 pages long?

I walked out of the classroom at about 23:00. It was the longest class I'd ever had. Actually, I like it. I like literature if only there is not going to be a quiz, but students can never get rid of quizzes. Plato, Aristotle, Wordsworth, Shelley... I would like to know them, but I don't like to talk about them. They are just... too old.

Robert Frost's Road Not Taken, the poem we read today, is totally sad for me while 90% Americans read it in a positive way. He was so regretful. It seems like everything is not always gonna be ok when you choose the road you are not supposed to take. It makes all the difference in your whole life. Isn't it sad?

So, am I travelling on the right road?

Miss the Summer

It's a great summer for me, my first summer in a foreign country. I had so much fun, making friends, hanging out with them, getting to know them personally...

The states will mean nothing to me without the people here. One day when I am leaving, I will cry.

Lit&Film

All that I can say about this class is MY GOSH!

I was completely, totally, definitely, absolutely LOST!

I guess, since I have taken this astonishing class, I have to be a big fan of all kinds of films and a big fan of Professor Tronti.

Really hope I can survive this semester.

Life Is Sad

Life is sad, sometimes, no, most of the time, when it fails to meet your expectations, when you love it but it hurts you, when it goes to a different way from where your heart is...

But what is sad?

How do you know what is sad, if you've never felt happy, as if the sky is always bright, how can you see the wonder of the stars?

Keep going

I try to write this everyday.

Sometimes daily things just make people feel bored, but since I am already a bored&boring person, I don't care feeling more bored.

But actually, I am not that bored. I just enjoy being quiet, watching people around me and listening to them. They laugh, they cry, they try so hard to hide their feelings...

Life Is A Mirror

Life is very much like a mirror.

If you smile at it, it will smile back at you; if you look frown upon it, it will give you a similar look in return.

That is why I always try to keep smiling, even when I feel bitter.

Semester Begins!

OK!
Tomorrow is the beginning of the fall semester, and I have class tomorrow evening, but I haven't registered my classes yet!
That really sucks!!
