Rainy Day

Drizzle from leaden sky, falling down drop after drop, cars coming and going breaks its consistency.

Rain hitting ground composes its beautiful music, along with the sound from wind blowing trees.

Fresh fragrant derives from washed plants and the unique wet in this kind of weather.

What to do in the rainy day:

Stay in the room alone, listen the music with a little bit melancholy, enjoy the gray view out of window, and taste inner peace.

Occasionally, walk in the rain that wakens brain and wash out exhaustion and worldly thoughts.

Or read a tragic novel. Maybe the novel was created in the rainy day. Reading it with a melancholy mood is probably closer to the author’s mood at that time.

Rainy day fits reminiscence. Reminisce those lost family members and friends and those days we went through together, which all become vivid images curving into brain.

Rainy day fits commemoration. Commemorate our lost youth. As time slipped between fingers, we have not been teenager any more. Looking my face reflects from the window, I doubted that did I still keep the original dream and have enough courage to try unknown things.

Drizzle and dim sky blurs the view in front of me. I cannot see it clearly. However, what I am sure is rainbow always appears after rain.

My Long Birthday

After a long, exciting, and tired birthday, I decide to write sth to share with someone who likes my blog. But right now I don’t know where to start. I think I should thank for those who remember my birthday.

My cousin, Jenny Wang. Even though she works busy and lives in Columbus, OH, she still remembers my birthday and gave me a big surprise on Friday morning.

My teacher, Ruth. She gave me an very unique gift, especially, I am so moved that Ruth, Tony, Yuchieh, Clara and Ruth’s friends sang birthday song for me at the Fernbank Museum, which let me almost cry. In addition, congratulate for her successful exhibition.

The other one of my roommate, Season. Her birthday is 2 days earlier than me, so we celebrated together on Sunday night. We blew candle and cut cake together.

Season and me

Originally, I wanted to skip my birthday silently this year cuz it reminds me I become older again, so I did not plan anything. However, you guys did lots of things for me. It has been more than I can handle and much more than I deserve.

Thank you so much!!!

Swim meet in UGA

Today I participated in a swim meet with our swim club in UGA which is located in Athens. There are so many college swim club join the meet, such as GT, GSU, KSU, UF…

The meet started at noon, and before that, we had 1 hour to warm up. I registered 4 events: 25 yard fly, 50 yard breast stroke, 100 free relay, 200 free relay.

Except me, all members in swim club are Americans, which let me really feel I have left language school and go to a real US university. But my English sometime still makes trouble to me.

The gym in UGA is really huge and amazing, but except its gym and the peace in that small town, I still like GT more.

I have not formal training and race for such a long time. Even though this competition is just for fun and communicate with each other, I feel getting back to 10 years ago when I represented my county to participate swim competition in Shanghai, China.
