Meteor shower

     Last Thursday I had heard the news that there would be a meteor shower at night, and I was really excited to know this information. I decided to view this rare occasion with my own eyes, so I invited my friend to join my action. We rode a motorcycle to the site called "wang kao liao," where is part of the mountain and is less polluted by light so that we could see the beautiful sky more clearly. As we arrived there, there still had a lot of clouds in the sky. But as the time went by, the clouds had disappeared gradually, and the dark sky with uncountable stars had appeared progressively. We lay on the ground to find a good posture preparing for the coming meteor shower. The first meteor appeared just in a sudden when I was chatting with my friend. I felt a light shining cross the sky suddenly, so I turned my head towards the direction that the light appeared immediately. I couldn't describe how stunning it was when the star crossed the dark sky in words, and the only thing I did is shouting at that amazing moment. How lucky I was to see such a wonderful scene, of course, I caught this fortune and made a wish at that moment I saw the meteor. I had seen a meteor before in Lyudao, but this experience is really my first time to see so many meteors at one time. Although the meteors were not falling down like the rain falling which the movies always showed us, but I was still very happy to take part in this astronomical event. It is really a special experience.

Life of Pi

     I went to theater last Friday afternoon to watch the movie, "Life of PI." It is a story about a boy survived 227 days from a shipwreck that in the Pacific Ocean with a tiger named Richard Parker. At the beginning of the movie when it was introducing Pi's childhood, I felt a little boring and almost fell asleep. But the following plot attracts me a lot, it shows how Pi deal with the days that he has to make himself much stronger, that he has to encourage himself not to give up his hope, and also that he has to make himself believe that he has the chance to survive.
     In the end of the movie, Pi had told two totally different stories. I felt very confused, couldn't understand what is the story wants to tell us, and also couldn't bear which story is the real situation. Today, my classmate told me that the second story is true. I was stunning when I heard she said because the second that Pi told is too cruel to believe. And there are also a lot of symbolization mentioned in the novel, but in the movie, the director use distinct way to film to express to show. I decided to buy the novel to fully realize what the story is talking about so that I can figure out why the director use this kind of shots in the second time I watch it. I think it is a good story that worth me reading it deeper and I think I will love the story.

a new sight of college life

     I can recall how painful I was at the beginning of college life, but it's totally different now. I have changed my attitude toward the college life that I already have. Instead of being hate of it, I try to appreciate it. Instead of rejecting it, I start to develop my interest in it. Instead of being upset about it, I begin working hard to do it well. I can't explain reason why my attitude change so magically, but everyone blesses me whoever has heard this. After chatting with my tutor, I think I will be more vigorous in learning. I hope I will find the thing that I really want to do. As the teacher tell me that college for her isn't a waste of time and money, it's a good place for us to think more about what we truly desire to pursue.

time management

     I think the most important thing that we should learn in college is time management. Since we have been a college student, teacher will no more ask us to do what he or she want you to accomplish. We must be our own teacher to remind ourselves of the task we need to finish, to force ourselves to complete the things on time, and to supervise ourselves to do things in a correct way. It seems that the time we have is always not enough, so we need to learn how to manage our own time well. Remove the extra activities is the thing that I think I must do first as the beginning of a good time manager. Find a balance between entertainment and schoolwork is quite important too. I hope I can manage my time well and won't waste any time from now on.
