Moving out

Moving out from a place I’ve been staying for years could be hard. However, almost every college student needs to move out from home. There might be some reasons for why so many college students live by themselves or with friends.
First, if a student needs to transport for long to get to school, he/she might want to move to somewhere near school. Second, it could be that he/she just simply wants to learn to be more independent and enjoy how it is like to have freedom. Third, he/she chooses a university that is away from his/her home city. Of course, in that way they wouldn’t have choices but to move out.
Take myself for example, I live in Taichung city with my parents but five months ago I decided to move out because it is troublesome driving for forty minutes or more to school. Well, in one way I would like to learn to be responsible for myself and make more friends, so I asked my parents’ opinion about moving out. Besides the reasons mentioned, a lot of friends of mine chose to study in some other cities because they wanted to experience the differences between cities.
Whatever the reasons are, we need to take good care of ourselves in order not to worry our parents. What’s more, we have to study hard and keep out of troubles.

3D world

My friends and I went to see a movie today. Though I have seen the same movie twice I still find it worth seeing. :D

July 14

I wonder what you guys are doing. I go to work everyday and rarely hang out with friends. I just hope that all the hard work will come with something.

Summer

Summer vacation is coming. Hope you all can enjoy it and don't forget what we have learned.

Feelings

A friend of mine fell in love with a guy in her class. Every time she comes back from Taipei, she tells me everything that happened to them. I can tell that she really likes that guy. What matters is that she can’t tell him how much she cares for him because she thinks things would be different if she does. She is afraid that they would not be friends anymore if she tells him her feelings.
One of my high school teachers told us that if you want to ask somebody for coffee or something like that you just need to go for it because the answer would neither be yes nor no. I told my friend this but she still can’t step out.
About last week, she told me that she really wanted to give up on this feeling because it is so tiring keep caring for him like this. There are always lots of girls around him and my friend doesn’t want to be like other girls. My friend is always waiting for him to come to her. Every time he talks to her, she would feel nervous and don’t know what to say. I think now all she needs is time, so that she can stay away from her feeling for him. I mean, if she really can’t tell him how she feels.

Journal 4 - The Most Unforgettable Event in My Life

There are a lot of memorable events in my life so far. However, there is one I can never forget. It was during my second year in high school when I got to play the role of the Fairy Godmother in our school’s annual drama, which that year was Cinderella. Before months' rehearsal, we had an audition. Before the director starting to rehearse, we had an audition. Luckily, I was selected to play the role of Fairy Godmother, which was my favorite part of the entire play. We began the months’ rehearsing and preparing afterwards. After the audition, we began one month's rehearsal and preparation. My classmates and I had so much fun but at the same time we had much pressure because of not knowing whether we could perform good enough to reach the director’s expectation.
The day we had our play was a wonderful day; everything goes so well that I wondered if I was having a dream. When I was on stage with Cinderella, the spotlights were so bright that I could barely see people off stage. I then became more relaxed and felt ready to show people what I’ve got. Finally when the curtain went down, the audience applauded and then everybody my classmates and I shouted out loud crying, hugging each other.
Weeks had passed after the play, my friends and I still couldn’t forget about the joy being on stage. Even now I can still remember clearly the moment I was presenting.

Journal 3-Labor Education

I don’t know where this idea, Labor Education, comes from. However, our president and directors believe that bringing this into practice helps college student to learn to be responsible for things. Some people say it is because of the school system; Labor Education has been one of our school traditions since Chaoyang was established. No matter what the purpose is, it seems that Labor Education seems will be practiced for forever.
Early in the morning, I need to drive at least thirty minutes to school. Labor Education starts from seven ten to seven forty, only takes thirty minutes. You might say that it is okay nothing to take only thirty minutes in 24 hours to clean the campus. I say I must get up at six or even earlier in order to get to Chaoyang University, which is quite tough for me.
What I am trying to say is that we can actually learn to be responsible by doing house works for Mothers or thinking more maturely. In my very personal opinion, there are plenty of ways for us to learn to be a grown up.
I say thanks to the school system, because we don't need to practice Labor Education after the first year at college.
