First time at uni

A few months ago I started my degree in Informational System Engineering. Everything has been ok since then. I remember my first class; I was so nervous because previously I was thinking a lot about how my future would be.

Now, I'm writing this because I need to improve my english for my career; it's essential. In a few years I've become so fluent to be capable to talk some natives speakers in real time. I think that I am very good at listening because I listened to english podcasts a lot (Luke's english podcasts, I recommend it).  I recognize that I don't have the skill for expresing my thoughts in a foreign language. It takes me a lot of time to think of what to say and how to say it. It feels like I'm muted haha.(It took me ten minutes to write this note). I had english classes at school but I didn't learn so much then.  The real progress came when I decided to start learning for myself, as an autodidact through the internet.

I'd love to use my english for traveling too.

A happy day

Today I had dinner with a student who is much older than me, but has a childlike personality, so we are good friends. She treated me to Korean food, which I thought was great. Later we went to the coffee shop and she introduced me to a friend who had just moved here. Although her friend is good at Chinese, and we could chat in it, the funny thing is that my student is not so good at Chinese, and most of the time I have to talk with her in Korean. So you see when the three of us were together, we used both Korean and Chinese. We had iced Americanos and talked about many interesting things, and we made an appointment to meet again when we said goodbye.Today I'm really happy and had a good time.

Journal 25

So much of my hair has fallen out. Am I going bald? I'm very scared!

I still have lots of hair. I think It's because of my genes, I hope so...

Heavy Rain

After several hot days, heavy rainy is coming. Watching out from a window, all things looked blurry. Some people were running on the way without an umbrella. Actually, an umbrella can do nothing to the rain as wind is too strong. A little girl following her mother, trying her best to hold the umbrella , as the strong wind made the umbrella run away from her. (You can also say that the wind blew the umbrella away from her)
Suddenly I think of my garage. My dirty car is inside. This is a good time to wash the car. I go downstairs to the garage to drive my car outside.  My car takes a shower in the rain. Several minutes later, it becomes shiny. When I go back to park my car, I find that my neighbor is doing the same thing. We are two lazy men.

I woke up in shock this morning

I woke up this morning naturally without an alarm reminder -- then I looked at the time on the phone. It was 7:30!!!!!
I thought I would be late for work, because the working time is 9:00, and it usually takes me two hours to go to work.
I usually get up at 6:50 on weekdays, and I wondered why the alarm clock didn't ring this morning? Then I realized that today is Sunday, and the alarm clock doesn't ring on the weekend.
I went back to sleep with a cold sweat. I was really anxious.

Please correct me

I hated driving a car. I can’t really define the actual reason. I was an ordinary female driver, not really a chicken at driving, but it was hard to park my car, and especially park me back. (Do you mean to drive in reverse?)

Despite these feelings, I like the image of myself driving a car; strong, independent, fast, mobile, confident, masculine, sexy.. But it was not enough. I just didn’t enjoy a romp on the road. Kind of a conflicting feeling.

Of course a car is convenient. 

On other hand it makes you lazy, you use it everywhere. It saves your time. You become addicted. You move less and less. You were born for movement. And you pay for it. You pay for the gym. You want to move 3-5 times per week to make your blood run faster. The rest of the day you are driving or working.

My work was sitting in a chair. And may be 100 or 200 times I said to people: How I want to go to work by bicycle... how I want it so badly.. and I accomplished it.

The first thing that jumped to your eyes ( draws your attention) is how many bicycles there are. Orange, yellow, blue, red and green. They are all public bikes. You need just a particular application to use them. You scan their QR code and voilà! You can use it.

At the beginning many things seem like genius. You don’t need your own bicycle when you always use a public bike and leave it wherever. You even don’t need a space to keep it safe.

Of course in fact it turned out differently. The chance to find a normal bicycle is not always really high. And according to golden Murphy’s law: IF YOU DONT NEED A BIKE, they are everywhere. They are hundreds. IF YOU NEED IT SO BADLY, you can spend 15 minutes hanging out and searching for one.  And when you find it, it is not that good. In many cases something is broken.
