FLBL

This weekend we basketball team of DFLL went to Tainan to have competitions. Saturday morning we got on the bus and it took us almost three hours to there. Because of the holiday, there were traffic jam during that time. When we arrived the university, it was 2:30 pm, and our first competition was 4:00pm, so we still had time to take a rest. The first competition against to department of Spanish of Providence University. We won them at last, and we all are so happy that we could jump to the sky because we haven't won for a long time.

Therefore we needed to stay in Tainan for an extra day. In the afternoon, we competed to the Chinese Cultural University, but they were too strong to beat them. So we lost. At night we lived in a school sister's home. Her mother is very hospitalized, she prepared bed sheets for us, and provided us nice caring. The next day, we competed to the department of English of the same of -- Providence University. They were better than the former department which we competed to. We lost at last, but at least we could go home earlier. We were very tired after those competitions. In the bus which returned to Taichung, we all slept.

Although we lost, we were happy that we won a game. It was a glory for us!

It was a good experience and memory for me.

Camp of Photography

This three days I attended the camp of Photography which is held by photograph club. During the Friday night, and almost the whole Saturday and Sunday, I learned a lot about the skill of taking photos and some theories of photograph. Although sometimes the class was so boring that camp members seemed to doze off, we learned something that maybe we never know forever. The most interesting day is the Sunday, we went to Changhua (the garage of fan shape and Lugang). We rode motorcycles to there, and we saw many people who were holding the flags, but that kind of flags were associate with the god. They were the pilgrims of the god Matsu.

Yesterday is belong to one of the courses, we took black and white pictures by ourselves. We borrowed the single lens reflex cameras as well as double lens reflex cameras from the club, it was very interesting because it was the first time I try to learn this kind of camera. Not only learned skills of taking photos but also learned many people. There were two assistants in one group. In mine, one of the assistant she speaks very very slowly, really really slowly. And the other one he is very kind and steady, I like this kind of boys! Haha~

Although my two cameras had some problems, I still felt very happy. I love to hang out with others. I do not care whether my pictures will be OK or not, I was very happy yesterday. Thanks for the staff of the club and thanks for Kahlen attend the camp with me.

I think happiness, is the most important element to lead a meaningful college life.

I Wanna Lead a Meaningful College Life

I do not think the life style now I lead is the kind of life I want to lead. Since being the sophomore, I have lived out side but rather the school dorm. I have my own place, my own room, but somehow, I feel lonely. I have roommates, and they are very nice. We share many things to each other, and hang out sometimes. Sometimes I feel lonely when I stay home alone. Originally I think I am an independent person, and I can do things by myself, but I find out that I am not. I have my dreams, as well as my goals, and I am heading the achieve them. Maybe what I choose is destined a lonely way, yet I cannot bear with this. Whatever, I need to seek sources of happiness. I must step outside again, I do not want to lead an unhappy college life. After all, the college life is only last for 4 years. I do not want to lose many (much), things including abstract aspects and concrete aspects.
Good luck to myself, hope exists everywhere. And I am waiting for someone, someone I have being waited for a long time.
Jennifer will step to the stage which original belongs to her. Wait and see.

A New Foreign Friend

I learned a new foreign friend, Vinoth. He is an Indian, 23, and studying for chemistry PhD. We learned each other on the "ESL99.com." It is a good website to find foreign teachers or LE partners.
After we chatted on msn for several times, I asked him out and chatted face to face this Wednesday. He is taller than I thought. He is not only tall but also good looking. He is a good guy who is willing to practice English with me although he is always busy doing experiment. Also, I will teach him Chinese. He came to Taiwan when 2007, but he can only speak few Chinese because he spends lots of time staying in the lab.
I think it is a good opportunity for both of us to learn another "non-mother language" better. He is my first foreign friend, and I hope I can learn more foreign friends like him. An English major I am, I think this kind of activity is more practical than literature.
