Last year, I went to Taipei with my parents for Mother's Day. I was so glad to visit my grandparents and my older sister who worked in Taipei because we hadn’t seen each other for a long time. My sister, who studies in Kaohsiung made a big cheese cake and sent it to Taipei. I like the cake and tasted it with Taiwan beer. I thought it was a special taste. And then we bought a bunch of flowers for mother because she raised and educated us for more than ten years. We appreciated her very much.

future

I have thought about future for a long time but I still have no ideal with that. What can I do in the future? Be an English major student, it seems I can do many different kinds of careers. For instance, be a translator or an interpreter, be a teacher or a secretary, and be a business people or a seller. However, the careers are like the buildings what I can see on the top of mountain. They are all I can see and know but blurred. Maybe it does necessarily spend a lot of time finding the career which I really interested in.

I have done many part-time jobs since I was seventeen. My first job is in 7-11 and now I am in 7-11, too. I have done it for 7 months. The 7-11 is beside Kung-shun technology of university so that I spend about fifteen minutes getting there by motorcycle every day. It really takes me a lot of time. I was too tired to keep doing it. I am deliberating whether or not to quit the job because of money. The reason why I don’t ask my parents to give me money is the action make me embarrassed. However, I am a senior student now. I am so stressed out that I think I should quit the job. I want to focus on my studies.

First, I am sorry that I skipped the third hour of class without telling you the reason last Monday. I took a rest in dorm because of headache. Then, it's hard for me to produce three 100-word essays a week because I don't know what I can write in blog. As a student, I attend school, eat meals, and do the part-time job almost everyday. It's all what I did a day and there is nothing interesting. It seems that I have to do something special because I must produce the essays. It made me painful and tired. Maybe we can change the rule to write assignments again.

Barbecue

I really had a good time with my friends on Oct. 10th. At first we decided to watch the firework show for double tenth day in Bingdong. Unfortunately, Stanly had his car repaired that day and what we can do just change our plan. We made a decision to barbecue beside dormitory 1. We bought some food such as meat, corn, green pepper, fish, mushrooms, etc. When we built a fire and started to barbecue, it was raining. We picked up food and tool into the cabin which beside dorm 1. Then we continued to barbecue until it stop raining. We chatted and played till 11 o'clock. Although we can't watch the firework show, it's still a wonderful day.

Idioms

Chad, my oral teacher, asked us to find some idioms and write them down last week. I fund some idioms on internet, for example, to pull someone's leg means to make joke to someone. And you are an apple of my eye means that I like you very much. One of idioms what Chad taught made me impressed is breaking a leg. The idiom, break a leg, derives from a story. In the end of performance, performers will appreciate audience with their knees bent. And they have to keep the action until audience stop clapping. Sometimes, they did a very nice performance and audience clapped for 10 minutes even. There were aches in their knees as if their leg was broke. Therefore, breaking a leg means to do a good job or good luck.

10/3

It has been a long time since I went home last time because I am too busy to go home. Finally, I went home yesterday. And my older sister came back from China, too. My parents were really happy and my father prepared one of my favorite foods is beef noodles. We ate the dinner and drank some beer. I talked about my school life and my sister talked something about China. The harmony in home really relaxes me as if the home is heaven. I think I can make up my mind to quit the job and go home once a week to companion with my parents.

10/1

Today, I was on the way to 7-11 as usual.

The time was six o’clock so the policemen started

to conduct traffic during the rush hours.

When I stopped on red, I saw a taxi was turning right.

Then, the taxi bumped into the bike in front and

the boy fell down from the bike.

The taxi driver got off the car as soon as the traffic police came.

The taxi driver made me fell badly because they usually

drive on the road rudely and do not follow the traffic rules.

In short, I really hate taxi driver so I never take it.
