Recently, I have become really interested in watching movies. I did not watch movies very often before, but lately I have been enjoying them in my free time. Watching a movie is a good way for me to relax after school or work. It helps me forget about my busy schedule for a while. One movie series that I watched recently is Fast & Furious. I thought it was really interesting and exciting. I especially enjoyed the car scenes because there were many cool cars and exciting races. The action scenes were also very impressive, and there were many moments that made me want to keep watching. I also liked the characters and their relationships with each other. Even though the story can be unrealistic sometimes, I think that is part of what makes the movies fun to watch. After watching the first movie, I became interested in watching the other movies in the series. There are many movies, so I want to watch them when I have enough free time. I think watching movies is a great way to take a break from school and my part-time job. From now on, I want to discover more interesting movies and enjoy them in my free time.

I have classes starting in the second period today. Classes are still held even on holidays. I was supposed to work on my assignment yesterday, but I was too tired and ended up falling asleep. I have to finish it before I go out today, or I’ll be in big trouble with the deadline. I’ll do my best. I still haven’t decided what to do tonight. I need to decide soon. Since it’s a holiday, there are so many events going on that I can’t choose just one. I also need to make reservations at restaurants, so I’ll decide soon.

A day within National holiday, I finally made it hiking on mountain Heng in Northern China, which took me a good five hours. The mountain looks like a massive wall, but thanks to the proper path that local authorities built, average people are allowed to arrive the peak without special outfits. There are several sights along the journey, like hundreds years old Dao temples made of wood , as well as an unexpected spring for visitors to admire. Moreover, Epigraph on some stone tablets tells stories in ancient period, which are my favorite stuff to watch. Apparently eight hundred years ago and from then on, faithful believers started to move here worshiping the deity in Heng, plus trying to avoid being involved in civil wars. Those religious people were devote and contribute themselves to a very modest lifestyle, their stories are appealing to then-kings who control the region, they lash out to construct temples, wishing their rulings were sustained by god. Unfortunately, different dynasties went rise and then fell in a row, and seeming like the deity just stand by. I stood at the top of the mountain toward 2 P.M. among overwhelming crowds, but the views there are absolutely spectacular, everyone was taking photos. I am not good at photographing but still picking up five pictures from my phone posting here, I hope the scenery is in my memory forever.

Today, I went to Hottarakashi Onsen with my coworkers. There were fifteen of us. Everyone gets along well, from high school students to full-time employees. We left after our part-time jobs and ate ramen on the way. Then, we drove to Yamanashi Prefecture to see the sunrise. Many things happened during the trip, but everything was so much fun. After enjoying the hot springs, we visited a famous pond. The scenery was beautiful and amazing. After that, we played volleyball together at a nearby place. I had a wonderful time with everyone. I want to go on another trip with them someday!

I was pretty tired this week, so I stayed home all day today. I was able to really take it easy and relax, and I feel refreshed now. Starting tomorrow, I’ll be back to a busy schedule of part-time work and college, so I’m going to refocus and give it my all. I have a part-time shift starting at noon tomorrow, so I plan to work out at the gym before heading in. Since tomorrow is the middle of a three-day weekend, I expect a lot of customers, so I’m going to do my best. I’ve let my college assignments pile up a bit, so I plan to get those done as well.
