my holidays

After the final exams, I went to Philly for 5 days.
Thanks June and her friends, Lina, Mia....!!

I had lots of fun there. *^_^*

Now, back to Carlisle. I don't know why but I kind of missed here when I just came back from the big city.

wondering what to do for the New Year's Eve....

final exams

I have 4 final exams.
I am taking the last one now!! the IOs take home exam.....
24 hour exam
now... actually 16 hours left....

GO!!!! Wen!

23 or 32?

Few days ago, I became 23.
But I started to think about what it look like when I am 32.
Can't really imagine!

It is not a big difference from 22 to 23.
The only thing I care is what I have done for the past year.....
And what is going to happen or change in the coming year.

Thank you guys!
You made my Birthday memorable.
from the birthday card made by Farfang 1 week before,
from the Birthday breakfast with Dorothy,
Brunch with Grace,
Ice cream with Faruk, June, Amina,
gifts from Dorothy, Richard, Diletta, Faruk, Douglas,
and lots of blessings....
I believe I will be happy whole the year.

Wish you the best and May all my friends' little wishes come true!!

LSAT-- my nightmare

This test shows all my weakness which I have not overcome since I was 21 (now I am almost 23)

slow reading, distracted mind, poor English ability, illogical thinking....

If one should be good at all these skills for law school, I must be the one unqualified.

Sometimes, it really makes me doubtful whether I can be a lawyer.

forget it!

NOW, prepare for the final exams.
I have Arbitration,
International Commercial Litigation
International Organization
Torts

淡淡的....

回憶 真是奇妙的東西!

剛剛看了大學時代投入最多時間的社團 引水人BBS
很高興大家都樂在其中持續激發著創造力 新點子
瀏覽到一年一度的盛大活動 包種茶節

懷念起陪我渡過這青澀年少的校園 人事物
五年的時光 經歷許許多多
同學們各奔東西 當兵的也快退伍了吧

照片裡的我
一個是第一次 一個是最後一次
參與包種茶節的活動....

三年來的蛻變
察覺的出來嗎?

every weekend

I long for weekends during the weekdays.
Thursday night is always good. sleeping, relaxing, doing nothing.....
Friday is the best day I think.... people around in the library....
I don't really care if it is noisy in the library.....
Probably, I came to the library not for studying.
I like to stay in the library with people around.

Saturday night is the worst time for studying
because it is too quiet in the library.
too empty to feel lonely.

Sunday,
it is so so, depending on how much work I have done
and how much need to be done.
I prefer the morning, feel guilty in the evening
because I waste my weekend again.

Tell me please how to be a efficient worker.
I don't want to stay here fooling around.
waiting, waiting, waiting.....
coming, coming, coming.....
day by day, days and nights
here always.

3 months

from Taiwan to USA, from summer to fall.....

Thanksgiving is coming.

Thanks god, family, friends, everything....

taking pictures

autumn....
beautiful and favorite season, you said.
I agree....

This afternoon,
on the way back to school, the sunshine came down through the red leaves from the blue sky.
I took pictures for my memories....

Sunday! Sunny day....

better weather, better mood....

what would happen today?
in library? in cafe? somewhere?

who knows, who cares, who is there?

I don't know, I don't care, no one is there.

just go for it!

Good luck!

Saturday....

morning: woke up at 8:00
lunch: at 3:00
dinner: not yet
evening: movies? books? internet? sleep?

I think I am really bored.
Let's go for walk....
in the rain!

Friday night

I am still in the library..... working hard?
NO!!

doing everything..... looking around, thinking, internet,
except the school work.

Friday, weekend, should be crazy, fun, relaxed.....
but how? bar? drinking? the beer.....

I like roots beer ..... not real beer.... ha ha (not funny)


well for me... relax=sleep.

Good night!

raining today.... not a good day for laundry.

movie in Vermont 2005

click the "X" please.... a movie is coming out.

busy last week

Last week is interesting and busy.

Torts practice exam, two classes on call, writing assignment,
Aldo's BD, Indian food cooked by Raku in John's, BBQ in Fruk's, Latino dance class,
football game Eagle v. Chief on TV at John's,

and a shock from Wayne about Wila who dropped out.


What about this week?
waiting for the fall break....
:-)

come back from coffee shop

hey!
I am happy now :)

I feel warm after a cup of latte and a piece of midnight pie with rich chocolate and cream on it.
may be I should worry about the weight now..... :(

Thanks for companying me to the coffee shop, Faruk.

SO.... BACK TO　ＴＯＲＴＳ！

:)

I should figure out the way to get used to the weather
and prevent the weather from controling my emotions as well.

gray weather, blue spirit.

Today, it gets cool and a little bit cold.....

I woke up around 7:30 in the morning.
I am in the library from 8:30 till now....

It looks cold and gray outside..... and lonely as well
I am listening to the country music, a little sad....
I was reading something on BBS about the diary between couples....
sad a again, and some memories came out as well.....

So now, keep working, or go out and do something happy?

how about some cake and coffee?
Yes, but alone.

I will be fine after the dessert.

Mid Autumn Festival in U.S.

It's fifth week after the school started and today is Mid Autumn Festival.....

Actually I am not really homesick so far because I am too busy to miss Taiwan.

Sometimes I feel something missing; that must be in my free time especially on Friday afternoon because there is few people in the library at that time.

Recently, I have a habit that I like walking in Carlisle alone. I am trying to walking different routes to the same place. For example, I went to have a ice-cream this afternoon, enjoying the mild wind and sunshine, relaxing. I like the street next to the shop a lot. The houses there are so cute that I hope I have a chance to visit them. I was walking and imagining that I would live there with my family thinking about my future...... There were a lot of people sitting in the yard chatting or reading, and saying hello to me. I enjoyed the ice-cream, walking in the "wonderland" and went back to my second home, library.

Fall is my favorite season.

Although I easily catch a cold during the cool season (I have a sore throat now), I still like it.

I like the red leaves on the street. Someone said that it is a blue season in red......

But I still like it. Sometimes it makes me feel lonely, sad..... but it let me calm as well. It is the chance to think, to talk to myself, to be alone with the nature.

Tonight, the full moon is not as bright and big as the one in Taiwan.

arriving US for 3 days

Here, it is really beautiful.

Everyhouse has its own garden growing colorful flowers. Next time, if the neighbors do planting, I will not forget to compliment on their beautiful yards. Most of people would say hello to me when I pass by their house. So friendly, thanks God. On weekends, most of the family would gather in their yards chatting and enjoying the sunny relaxed weekends. Some people keeping dogs would take their "kids" out driving in their cars.

I met an Asian woman, Jenny Kwng , from the homeland of Clinton Arkansas on the way to Wal-Mart. She is nice to tell us to let her know whether we need help or not during her 2week vacation in Carlisle. She is happy to give us a ride when we carry heavy bags home. Today we met her again in Wal-Mart; she is sad that we did not call her to drive us there and insisted that we should call her next time when we want to go there.

I have one housemate now, and will have the other sooner or later. The first one is from Korea, she is pretty. Her name is Yunhee, and magically has the same last name "Lee" with me. She is nice too. I am so lucky to have a friendly housemate. We talked a lot about movies today, and she found that I watched a lot of Korean movies in Taiwan..... We almost go out together, and we went to a Chinese restaurant near Wal-Mart. The owner of the restaurant is from Fukien, China. The food there is not bad, I think.....

Lots of things to be shared. So far so good. Tomorrow will be a busy day cause I will go to set a bank account and have a student ID as well. Maybe I will meet with the professor discussing about my classes.

a song

沒那麼愛他
詞/曲:徐婕兒

你有權利情緒化
你不一定要堅強
但有些事情不能偽裝
別為自己設了框我懂失去的悲傷 也懂進退的掙扎
但想起過去都是失望
又何必要放不下是習慣還是愛
不放心 還是不甘心 只有你自己知道解答
其實你沒有那麼愛他
真的不需要那麼想他
編織過的夢想 自已也可以抵達 誰說一定要有他
其實你沒有那麼愛他
沒有深陷到不可自拔認清了真心話
你就放得下深呼吸 抬頭望
發現天空很寬廣這世界那麼大 幸福總會在某個地方
其實你沒有那麼愛他 真的不需要那麼想他
擁有過的計劃 留給值得的對象
你知道 不會是他
其實你沒有那麼愛他
沒有深陷到不可自拔認清了真心話
你就放得下

return from the trip

From 7/20-7/28, I was totally tired out! Even had a fever at the end of the trip....

The trip started Taipei--Taichung--Kaohsiung--Yilan--Hualien--Taidung--Hualien

As an experienced counselor, I did not do well, but it is limited to the reality. I should say what could I do to make it better.....cause it results from the human problems, and it's not my ability to make much change in the 9day trip.

Alright! Tell something interesting!
There are some nice members on the same bus with me. I am glad to meet them.

Some students are really naughty even childish, but actually most of them are younger than me. It's wierd for me cause I used to be the youngest one.
There was a guy who burned his own face when he tried to drink the 高梁 with fire....By the way, his birthday is on 8/8; that is Father's Day!
The other guy is too brave.... he hit the window cause he was upset with his gf, bleeding of course!
Still someone has nonstop bleeding nose, taken to emergency at midnight.....And I went to bed late at 3:00 that night.

What's wrong with them?

I won't forget that I carried a flashlight in a really dark, cold and wet tunnel alone waiting for someone who may need light to pass..... I even heard of someone saying I was such a brave girl. That is my duty, and the result is I had a really bad cold that night! Terrible! Fever all night.... and couldn't go bed earlier cause the stupid night patrol.

At last, I should say the secenery is really beautiful.....
And the trip is not bad though something unpleasant... :-)

Trip around Taiwan

From 7/20-7/28, it's my third time trip around the island with loveboaters.
Some what meaningful to me cause before I leave for USA.
Hope for nice weather in a good mood during the tour. I will go to Taipei tomorrow and come back next Friday! Wish me good luck!

Farfang's best wishes

Thank you a lot!
I will be enthusiastic, positive and pleasant in my study there with your encouragement. :)

Hope that everyone and everything here in Taiwan will be fine...... See U!

packing

Typhoon today! It's the best packing day for me. Cooler now..... although it is nightmare some times.

I surf the internet for some suggestions to pack my luggge...
The following is what I found:

(http://www.shesay.com/zone/z3.php3?counts=3563)
第一步將要帶的衣服大致分成一或二種基本顏色。這自然會替你淘汰掉許多東西。有套裝最好，因為它們可以混合搭配著穿。把所有要帶的東西一字排開，再來決定需要多大的行李箱。如果行李箱太大或太小，都會弄皺裡面的衣服。

第二步把衣服口袋內的東西拿出來，襯衫釦子扣好、拉鍊拉好。外套釦子先不要扣，因為等一下會需要將翻領疊上去。現在可以開始打包了。

第三步將褲子和裙子橫向交錯平鋪在行李箱內、腰帶靠在行李箱左右兩側，讓褲管和裙尾懸在行李箱外。

第四步接下來，將每件外套正面朝下放進行李箱內，翻領部份互相疊在一起，領口靠近行李箱上方。將袖子翻折回來，外套的下緣懸在行李箱外。

第五步將毛衣、襯衫、上衣、領帶和其他小東西放在中間。

第六步將外套下緣往上回折，蓋住放在中間的衣服和其他小東西。然後從兩側將褲管和裙尾回折進行李箱

第七步將鞋子、襪子和內衣塞在有空隙的地方。一些零星的東西如鬧鐘、皮帶和吹風機則放在行李箱邊緣，最重的東西放在靠近行李箱上方。

第八步另外攜帶一個隨身背包，放一些重要或者擔心遺失的東西: 護照、機票、處方藥、珠寶、照相機、鑰匙、旅行支票號碼、眼鏡、洗髮精和化妝品。

你可在打包行李時列出所有行李的清單。並將這張清單隨身攜帶，以便萬一行李遺失或被竊時比較容易向航空公司求償。查詢旅遊目的地的季節氣候，多帶一些必需品如雨衣或合適的禦寒衣物。絕對不要把錢、珠寶、處方藥或貴重物品放在托運行李內，而是隨時將這些東西放在隨身行李中。同時隨身行李中最好也多帶一套換洗衣物，以便托運行李時，萬一延誤抵達時有衣服可供換穿。

(http://www.liontravel.com/2info/info_pack.asp)
行李是旅行中必要的負擔，如何讓這個負擔減到最輕，了解一些方法與技巧， 可讓您省時省力不少！

1. 行李箱採一大一小，一個拖運、一個隨身，箱重愈輕愈好。

2. 行李箱的結構要很牢固，輪子一定要選寬大的，兩個輪子間距離愈寬愈好，拖 起來才會穩定。國外的街道很多用石頭　 砌成的，輪子不夠寬大，行李拖起來會 很辛苦。

3. 行李箱要有備用的皮箱鎖和皮帶。

4. 行李箱要有輪子，但雖然有輪子，大行李箱裝滿時，也要以能提得動為準，因為有時若遇到階梯等不方便用輪子時，　 提不動就麻煩了。

5. 最好採同色系搭配的衣物，以減化衣服的數量，並避免攜帶厚重衣服。

6. 衣服款式不見得一定要很流行，且不管正式或休閒，款式要簡單大方。

7. 過濾掉會皺的衣服。含純棉、麻、純絲，尤其是亞麻的衣服特別容易皺，針織 類衣服較不會起皺。

8. 至少需帶有一件輕薄短小又能預寒的衣物，如薄毛衣或長袖運動衫，放在手提包或手提行李的最外層。因飛機上的空　 調常讓旅客受不了，或天氣忽然變化，就可派上用場。

9. 塑膠袋在打包行李中佔很重要的角色，將襯衫類衣服折好，衣領交叉平放，全 數放入同一塑膠袋中；毛衣類 用捲的，若有長褲怕皺，可再捲到毛衣或針織類 衣服的外面，外面再加塑膠袋。毛衣類柔軟 彈性大，長褲在擠壓時較不起 皺。襯衫歸襯衫、毛衣歸毛衣、內衣歸內衣，取用時會方便很多。

10.千萬不要帶太多件厚重及粗針毛衣或大衣，純羊毛或兔毛背心內衣，在溫差 變化大的旅途中佔重要角色。國外室內　 及交通工具裡都有暖氣，故不必穿太 厚。

11.貴重物品若無法手提，應藏於箱子底部，或用信封、塑膠袋等包裹，讓竊賊 不易發現，或增加偷竊的難度偽裝一下，風險自然會減小。

12.易脆物品應單獨包裝，隨身用手提，不要拖運。

13.預留行程中會增加的重量。如加買的衣服， 收集的目錄及書籍、雜誌、紀念 品等。

14.旅行中嚴控行李增加的重量，否則回國前才發現行李箱已裝不下，再去買行李箱、甚至超重須加收拖運費用，造成額　 外的煩惱。

15.攜帶手提電腦旅行的人需特別注意，有的海關會要求你啟動電腦，證明電腦 裡面沒有裝炸彈。

leaving for US....

Only 3 weeks left for me to prepare everything.... including saying bye to relatives, the feelings, luggage, guts.....

1 year is soon! Grasp it and do the most I can to be better....

Counting down...... I will miss U, Taiwan!

Miss missing

When missing a person, I missed myself....
missed my way of living....

Stop it! cause nonsense
Keep going be yourself!
then make it never be regret again.

終於等到這一天

大學的最後一天！期末考結束整個人也慵懶了，原本計畫了許多考完做的事，目前一項也沒有達成。不過倒是多了個新生活！大學四年外加延畢一年，五年時光回首似乎一片空白。呵呵，或許還不細想吧.....時間流逝總在一瞬間。大一的懵懂、大二的社團感情生活、大三雙主修的煎熬、大四開始想畢業後怎麼辦、大五發現自己變了....許多事轉變了心情、看事情的態度。大學......就結束了呢！許多回憶有甜、有苦，也就這樣走過來了。未來的新生活，我既期待又膽怯！　　　　

今天

今天做了很多不是理想中應該做的事，但為了去做理想中的事，所以等我做完該做的事後，在說今天做了哪些事吧。 ：）第一篇文總是無理頭的。
