First day at work in a cram school!

Today is my first day at work in a cram school. Before I left for work I was a bit nervous, didn't know how I will performed and whether the teacher present there are easy to talked to or not. When I reached there, the teacher welcomed me and explained to me the rules and regulations of the cram school and what are the classes I would be teaching that day. I did what I was told and I did all my work according to the instruction given to me. After an hour or so, I feel relaxed and not nervous any more. Though there are two sets of classes with sixteen students each, I still handled the class very well but I have one problem. That is to remember the names of all the thirty two students. Working in a cram school is not as tiring as working in a restaurant. It's more relaxing and comfortable. I want to thank God for hearing my prayers and giving me the opportunity to work in a cram school to have work experienced before I stepped out of college. I'll keep people updated with my work and daily life..

I'm very happy today!

When I was washing my clothes at around eight in the evening, I heard Phoebe calling me and she quickly gave me my cell phone. It was the call from the cram school. The teacher called to ask me if I can start my work from next Tuesday. The moment I heard the news, I was a bit stunned and didn't know what more to say then I told her that I can start my work from next Tuesday. I was so nervous while talking to her that I even forgot to tell her thank you. I quickly went online and told my sister to tell my dad and mom about this good news because I've always wanted to earn some pocket money and also to learn some work experienced. I think this is a good start for me. I have to perform well in the cram school. I'm too happy that I wanted to share the good news with people around me. I think my mom and dad and my family are very happy for me since I got the kind of job I wanted to have. I want to tell people that praying and having faith in God is also important because it had really helped me a lot.

My first experience of Typhoon in Taiwan!

This is my first experienced of typhoon in Taiwan. When I woke up at five in the morning to visit the toilet, I saw that it was so windy outside but didn't realize that typhoon had already started. I was still feeling sleepy and its Saturday today so I went back to sleep. When I woke up at twelve p.m., I can hear those scary noises of the winds and it started to rain a bit then we decided to go to 7Eleven to buy something to eat both for lunch and for dinner. We went out though the typhoon is very strong. We went quickly and brought our lunch and dinner and didn't go out any more. We were inside the room from noon till night and through our windows we saw many people's umbrella being blown away and could also see some boys using their full strength to ride their bicycle in such typhoon day. We learned a lesson that when he heard the news that typhoon is hitting the next day; we should buy enough eatables the day before so that we don't have to experience such typhoon again.

An unbearable headache

Nowadays I get headache very easily. I guess it's because there are too many homework and things to do that I get tensed. Today I didn't attend the writing class because after class at 10, I am already feeling dizzy and don't feel like going to the big hall to hear speeches and also to see the President of our University gave away the certificate to all the first, second and third rank holder of different departments. I kept myself awake by talking to people besides me but after 12 p.m.
I really couldn't bear the headache anymore and so I decided to go to my dormitory and I wrote a letter to the professor telling him I would not be able to attend class today and I told him the reasons behind it too. I had to eat my lunch because I need to take medicines and so I brought my lunch before coming back to the dormitory. I quickly had my lunch and took my medicines and went to bed. Though I was in bed, I was not asleep but I just kept my eyes closed so that I don't feel so tired. I started to feel better from 5 p.m.
I really hope this kind of headache would not occur again. It was really an unbearable headache.

Taking decisions

I had a hard time deciding what courses I should opt for this semester and how it would help me in future. By looking at the courses name, it sounds like they are interesting but I was very afraid that the courses are taught fully in Chinese and I would be having a hard time to understand it. I feel that there are many decisions in life. If you make one wrong decision in life then you will have to regret it throughout your life. We should always think twice before taking any decision in life so that you won't have a chance to regret.

Celebrated Moon festival in Chia Yi

We had holidays on last Monday and Tuesday on account of Moon festival. I didn't go to Taipei to my aunt's place to celebrate Moon festival with her but instead I went to Chia Yi to stay at Eve's place. On Sunday afternoon Eve's mom came to pick her and I. I had a great time in Eve's place. Her mom treated me very nice. She made me feel at home. She also cooked delicious food for us. On Monday afternoon, Eve took me to the market in Wen Hua Street. We visited many shops but didn't buy anything since we didn't found what we wanted to buy. We decided to take the 5:40 p.m. bus to go home but we didn't know that suddenly it started to rain heavily and there were thunder and lightning too. Her mom was so worried about both of us that she drove her car to the market to pick us up and then we went home and had a warm dinner. On Tuesday morning, Eve drive her sister's car and took me and her brother to her grandmother's place. We had a great lunch there and we also enjoyed singing karaoke. We went back to Eve's house afterwards and then her mom drove us back to the dormitory. This is my first Moon festival in Chia Yi with Eve and her family members. I will always remember this day. Thank You Eve for everything.
