21.6.2012 Takoyaki The Tuen Ng Festival holiday is coming. We'll have 3 days free. The local students are more happy than me as the holiday means more to them. Most of them had sorted the luggages a few days ago and had started to imagine the delicious food made by mom. My home is far apart from here. I go home twice a year, every summer and winter. The three-day holiday means little to me. I'll just stay in the dormitory, write the papers and the homework, read novels and watch films. After the last class before the holiday, I went out to get something to eat with Cathy. Nice Takoyaki. They were so hot that my tongue was almost burned. It was still cloudy today. I said it is hard to see the sun here. Ahh. But the temperature here is right my taste. At this time in my hometown it should be very hot. However here it's still around 25℃. I was late for the morning reading this morning ╮(╯_╰)╭ Have a nice holiday Miranda!

20.6.2012 It was cloudy as always. Drying your clothes in the sun is a difficult thing here in Chengdu. The final exams are coming dear. Not nervous at all. I miss the dishes cooked by my families. I haven't been at home for almost 4 months. And my boyfriend and cat. Papers and loads of work. If you want to be an excellent translater you have to accelerate your progress.

Horseman, Pass By I chose this university last June. It was my own decision. I like language study and I have been wanting to be a translater since I was young. But the life here doesn't look as good as I thought before I came to this city. Chengdu is really a great city. You foreigners should have a journey here if you come to China. The nice Sichuan food, the beautiful Sichuan girls which really makes me quite jealous, and, the most important, the horrible distance to my hometown. I'd been staying in Changshu for more than 20 years. I love her deeply but at the same time I wanna run away from her. Perhaps many young people have the same feeling. When the relatives and my middle school teachers asked me which univercity I would go to, they were all surprised by my choice. "Oh it's so far! You will miss home badly. Silly girl." Yes, I'm silly and brave. But my mom is braver. She never said taht she regreted to support me. She always sopports me. So does my daddy. Actually I know they miss me so badly because I miss them either. The horrible distance is a release of my hot young heart. Meanwhile I'm hurt badly from it. The journey which will last four years in this university and this city has told me so much. "Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life" The Verve
