I just finished all my mid-term exams yesterday evening, so I got a good quality sleep. At almost eight o’clock, I woke up naturally without an alarm clock. Have my breakfast slowly to taste the flavor. Today is a bonus holiday. Even the air is relaxing.
My mom asked me whether I want to go to purchase something with her or not. Of course I agreed with this proposal. We bought some supplies, the snake which my younger brother would like, and some dried plums for my father…every time we go to the mall, we always buy many things. We had in hand and searched the displays.
Without the time of pressure, both of us were happy.
Come back home, I turned on my computer, reply messages to the visitors on my Wikispace. It’ so glad to see my classmates’ words. I like this kind of interaction.
As I typed, I also listened some music. Today, I repeated the same song, “ Close to You.” It’s really a wonderful song, I even song with the song, classical Carpenter’s song.
Now, my mom is cooking some foods for us. It smells good. I can't wait but want to go downstairs to have my lunch!

Future
This morning, two of my friends and I went to Starbucks. We brought some textbooks to read because the mid-term is coming. However, after having our brunches, we changed our plan and decided to make a free-talking English conversation.
When we mentioned about learning progress, occupations, and future, oddly enough, it seemed that some inspiration suddenly ran into my brain. My thinking flew away from the topic. I thought of an old Japanese drama, “Yamatonadeshiko.” While the main actor still studied math in MIT, he always put full of his mind on his research. One day, his girlfriend told him, “I can’t see the you after twenty years,” then she leaved. At the time, he just got in a bottleneck on his study, and there were something happened to his family, too. So, with the sorrows, he came back to Japan and acceded his father’s fish store. Six years later, he met the main actress, whose appearance was almost as same as his ex-girlfriend. He asked her, “Can you see the me after twenty years?” She replied, “Yes, I can.” In the end of this story, the main actor had a great success in his specialty; gained celebrity, own good position and salary, and married with the main actress.
Actually, everyone wants to have this kind of life. Get married with ideal mate, rear outstanding children, have a coveted position, get good salary, have a house or cars… In my opinion, I don’t think it is necessary to own all the things as mentioned.
Everyone has his or her independent definition about a successful or ideal life. We can work hardly to reach our goals. I believe that it is important to build confidence at first. We should trust ourselves, and then we could try our best to every thing. Positive attitude is also needed. The aggressive one gets more opportunities to make dreams come true.
In the future, I hope I can study in graduate school, and then teach in senior high. I want to have ability to live with myself at least, so that my parents won’t worry about me. Ensuring the stable job and steady payment, I could contribute to my family and accomplish life plans. I think it is the most essential factor to be a successful or ideal life.
I hope when the day I graduate from this university, I can also say the same words, “I can see the me after twenty years” without doubts.

Drama Reflection
In this month, I watched a Japanese drama on TV. It is called “Bokunoarukumichi,” means my live, my way.
The leading man suffered from Autism (Kanner syndrome). Because of the inborn barrier, although he was already thirty-one years old, his intelligence only developed to ten years old. At first, I thought it might be a sorrowful story. However, it isn’t. It is a warm story. I learned a lot from the character.
His mother told him, “Not having ability to do many things is eximious and have lower ability to do fewer things is not. The outstanding one is who focus and does well on his or her work.” Yes, I really agree with this point. If we can do one task well, that will be an admirable thing. Some parents make their children to go to talent cram school. Children have to learn ballet, math, painting, instrument… in order to fulfill their parents’ expectations. They try to make their children to be the best. But, this kind of definition is not certainly exact. The most important thing is trying our best to do everything well. It is not needed to compare with each other.
From Japanese Drama, I always can learn a lot of things, and find some answers of life.

The Coffee Time
This Monday morning, I got to school at 8: 00 a.m. as usual. There was no one in the classroom, so I turned on the lights, and went around taking a short walk. When I returned to the classroom, I saw our teacher and my classmates. Our teacher, and also our instructor, treated us some coffee.
That was really a pleasing thing. Everyone felt happy to have a cup of coffee in the morning. We put coffee into cups, poured the boil water in, and stirred by ourselves. We enjoyed the process, the coffee, breakfast, and short talks. Everyone was smiling. The atmosphere was so good. Teacher could also chat with us. There was no rule, no tense, just relax. I thought the coffee shortened the distance among us. It was a nice opportunity to have this kind of activity to do more interactions. The coffee not only warmed up our bodies, but also warmed up our minds.
Since I entered university, I found that it was much harder to get together with each other than in the senior high school times. Everyone has his or her own life, own business. Sometimes the busyness makes us even have no time to share our thoughts.
But in the Monday morning, I felt we are so close to each other. With the pleasurable and relaxed atmosphere, all of us had nice moods. I thought the wonderful morning filled me with much energy to face the all day works.
That was a cup of magic coffee!
