Last week, on 3/21, we had a department of foreign languages' volleyball game in Taipei Jing Mei's Shih Shin University, so the last day before we had the game, YoB, A Mor, Syau Pon and Joseph came to my home to sleep for a night. It was quiet a special experience that so many friends came to sleep in my home together. The next day, we went to Shih Shin by bus & MRT at 7:30. When we arrived, It had been 8:30. We had three games in that day, with Taipei University, Kao Hsiung Education University and Dan Jon University.

2/21-2/27

It has been about two weeks since this semester began, and I get 24 credits this semester so my schedule is quiet busy. Everythings seems good so far and I'm just about to adapt school life once more except one of my class called The Development of a Country teached by teacher Lee because most students feels bad on his class. On teacher Lee's class, I think he's not teaching us about the development of a country but just showing off his "glory" experience of studying abroad and making speeches abroad. On his first class when he just entered the classroom, he had began to show off. He said "Oh, when I woke up this morning, it was snowing~ because I was still in France and I just come back to Taiwan now." And this is just only the beginning, because during his class he's just showing off all the way. And I have heard a lot of criticism about this teacher. They said showing off is just one of his acceptable shortcomings. He's also bad tempered and he has a strange standard of giving grades to students, and no one knows how his standard is because some of those who concentrates on the class get low grades and some of the sleepers in the class get high score. I hope I would be alright on this class during this semester. The feeling is good to be able to see friends everyday, I really missed them during the winter vacation.

Vacation is always too short, and time always goes too quickly; The new semester has quietly come. I look forward to the new semester very much. I can't wait for its coming, and I also wish that the vacation would never end. In this winter vacation, there's not enough time for me to do many things. There are two three main program in my winter vacation: English camp of our department, Journey to Keelung and my grandparents' home in Chung Hwa.
This is my second time to join the working group of the English camp in our department. The last time when I became one of the members in the English camp, I was just a silly freshman who's full of passion to the activity. After a year, when I attended it this winter vacation, I found that things changed a lot: I'm not as innocent, anxious and enthusiastic as I used to, instead, I found that I've become much more steady than before, and I have could guide the freshmen just like the way the sophomores guided me before. This is my first time to really realize that I've become a sophomore.
After the English camp, Claire, Jackie, Rocio and I moved on to Claire's home in Keelung the next day. Claire's parents were quite hospitable, and Claire guided us to many famous spot in Keelung: Jyo Fen, Da Jen Mountain and Keelung Temple Night Market. In this three-day-long journey, we shared much about the funny experience in the childhood. Claire told us about the stupid things her interesting senior high school friend did in her senior high school years. In the second night, we went to a seacoast and stepped on the beach. Talked, laughed and then went back Claire's home riding scooters with the shoes taken off. The last day in Keelung, coincidentally, is near Alen's and my birthday, so we went to a bookstore to buy birthday cards. The experience of watching others writing birthday cards to me on my own face. These three days are pretty impressive.
