Gray mood

It's nessesary to calm down a little after too much excitement I guess. So, today I quiet down out of my control.

Il Postino

Ll Postino is Italian for "The Postman". It's a great movie! I watched it in World Literature for about 3 periods. On the last period, which is today, I cried a lot at the end of it. Under the dark lights, I couldn't control my tears because I used all the exertions to control not to make any noise. If I were alone watching that movie, I would cry out loud like a baby! It's a great movie, so real, simple, beautiful, and everything!
Check it out!

Life is good!

Now, I feel I am really living and enjoying my life! Everything happened these days changed me a lot! I feel that I own some magic or power inside me, which make me have no fear to speak in front of class, no fear to confront any potencial dissapointment. I saw myself and I am living with it. No other time than now that I am truly gratefull for my life!
So high these three days! (No drugs, xixi)

overwhelmed by books

As I need to finish "Emma" at home, I have to catch up reading "Siddhartha" in some free time. While I am using every break at school to read "Their Eyes were Watching God", today, Mrs. Booth gave me another book-- "The Secret Life of Bees!" I can feel the pressure,now. Can't wait to finish them all!

glittering winter!

Abstract from Self-Reliance from Emerson

Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events

It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness and the indpendence of solitude.

Your goodness must have some edge to it,--else it is none.

Society is a joint-stock company, in which the members agree, for the better securing of his bread to each shareholder, to surrender the liberty and culture of the eater.

sushi!

Taste so good! I hope you all can taste them some day when we met again!

A snow world

I walked in beautiful snow world this morning. The pines were covered with snow. The twigs were glued by ice. The sun shone on them, which made them sparkled! What a beautiful winter!

Tunnel of love

My AP Stat teacher is a crazy woman. She could scream and laugh so loudly that the next room could hear her. She could speak so fast that the whole class can't follow her and start another rebellion. Once she even cut a guy's hair at the end of the class!
Now, she created a new form of craziness--the tunnel of love! Before class she and the students would stand along the two sides of the hallway and say" hello" to random people! That is to show them love and spread love. Now and then, she would hug someone! Some of the freshmen even avoid walking through this hallway and scared to tear!
Can you imagine such a kind of teacher in China?
But she has passion. She really love people. She love teaching. She love everyday life.
The teachers in America are real teachers. Every one of them has his own teaching style. They teach us knowledge both inside and outside the textbook. They are aiming to improve the overall ability of students, not the exam or score. Furthermore, the relationship between teachers and students are so joyous and casual. It's friendship instead of a sence of tyranny.

Josh

Josh was my English-class-deskmate in the first nine weeks of the first year. Then, we met in Physics class this year as deskmate again. We were sitting in the last row so I could read books sometimes although with guilty feeling to Mrs. Duda. She is an extremely kind but extremely boring teacher. I controled myself not to talk to him 'cause I don't want to distract him from listening to the teacher. But till I noticed his shoes. His shoes' front part was wrapped around with a grey band, which sometimes would fall off and revelt his toes. I was so surprised that one day I wrote" why didn't you buy a new pair of shoes" on the paper and showed to him. He smiled and said the shoes were really comfortble. . .
Now, it's in the third nine-week period. We are deskmate again!

Smile

America is a country full of smile. I was looking for a world full of charming smile back in China. But when I was in it, it took me a while to get used to it. When I was smiling to everyone with my true feeling, sometimes I began to wonder whether their smiles were all true. Or it's just a custum, a cultural habit?
Now smile to me is a habit, too.

ice skating

Today is the first time I skated in U.S. It was fun over all. We six people even drew some attention from the little boys. Some of them asked us questions about Chinese-how to say "hello", how to say"go to hell". One of them even skated with me and called me his new girlfriend! No more than 10 seconds, he left me and found a new Chinese girlfriend again! Then, he tried to take pictures of us, which no one let him do it.

We have had two days off. Tomorrow is another 2 hours delay! Cool!

Transformation

This is the road I chose. . .
This is the road I chose.
So, deal with me. Deal with everything.
Someone said that suffering is the best part of his whole life.
So, experience the suffering and smile to it.
I have a lot.
So, look at them more and decrease my other desires.
Life will be better.
Plus I could change my own world. I am the owner of it.

Surround by angels

Today's snow was really pretty! I was like walking in a white fairy world! The snow was perfect in size so it could fall in a slower speed. They were like little angels coming to the earth from heaven!

The cold eye and the smile

Kalen looked at me once. Her stare scared me a lot! It's like she hates me from the beginning of her life! I couldn't figure out why she hates me so much!
In Comparitive Religion, we three worked together to draw an illustration of Pan Gu Kai Tian. It's so funny that we laughed through the class. I want to live in that atmosphere forever!
