Once a week for fifteen minutes-14

Over past few weeks, I was under lots of pressure and felt quite unhappy with my hustle and dull studying life. Everything seemed to be meaningless for me even though I had once put my passion in. But it was quite noticeable that the depression was all from Japanese courses. I started to feel unable to deal with learning different languages at the same time because as we all known that by all means should we put in lots of endeavor to review and repeat all new languages so that we wouldn't forget them.  However, it seemed that I was too optimistic and ideal for my ability. I couldn't catch up with the whole class and even lagged behind the class, which was really upset since I was sort of perfectionist and I couldn't accept it. The frustrated feeling kept piling up, which even made shadow in my mind, deterring me from attending the courses. Meanwhile, my grade in Spanish courses even dropped a little bit and it was a severe warning to inform me of facing the problems and taking the emergent action to deal with them. Therefore, I dropped the Japanese courses after thinking twice over it.

There was a god-awful tragedy on MRT. The 21-year-old murderer slashed passengers at random which caused 4 people being killed and 21 injured. My mood was altered from agony to anguish. I could imagine how horrible and frightened when those people were pierced through or were trying to find any space to escape from the murderer in such a limited and crowded carriage. And how hopeless and desperate when the murderer got close to those people who were forced to the corner. It gave me the creep. Sorrow and pain occupied my whole heart which made me nearly suffocated. MRT is one of the most important and main transportations in my daily life, so it seemed quite real as if I had been at the scene. On no account could I ever think of this tragedy happening. And I was on no doubt regarded MRT as the safest transportation in Taipei that we all could be proud of. Since then, I am tossing and turning all night with a sob catching in my throat. I hope whoever has done the bad thing should be got even to fill up the deepest chasm of hate although all this seems of no avail to the preservation of innocent people.

Since my brother lives outside, and I have a hustle college life, we expend few effort in our house. We make our house rarely simple as if it has been abandoned. Recently, my parents decide to redecorate our house, for my brother will graduate from the college this year and will move back home. Our goal is spend little money but turn the house into a brand-new atmosphere. Thus, we decide to buy new sofa, curtains and carpets. Because my brother studies in fashion design department, he knows quite well about fabric, structure, quality and so on, so he plays the leading role in choosing them. Also, on no account can we doubt his exceptional sense of beauty. When shopping in the store, he will run through the stuffs with his fingers and check whether everything is right. Although it exerts more time and effort to buy furniture, we are able to avoid a fraud.

At Friday night, I with my friends joined a party held by NTU's European cultural club. I had been looking forward to it and even couldn't fall asleep the day before the party. In fact, I had been to a few parties before, but neither of them were formal. Almost each one were held in the night club with electronic music alive in the club. This time, it was a formal one with boys and girls dressed in suits and evening dresses relatively. Because I was so restless, I headed for the party punctually, but I didn't go to the place at once. I stayed in the car and stared through the window, starting to observe those participants who were passing by. While I was counting them on a very slow basis, it meant that in no way could anyone hide into the crowd. On the ground of my experience, I was quite sure that it would make people awkward. From the beginning til the mid time, I was not surprised everyone of us tried to squeeze into the corner. But later, with some games and social dance, we had a great time making new friends. Overall, it was a wonderful day especially with beer, music, dance and friends in particular.
