Pressure makes diamonds

After more than a month, I finally post my last blog post here. First, I have to apologize for being late on posting a new article.

Having been busy making props for the cheer leading team of my department, studying the heavy textbooks of law, and other activities…, I could hardly find a period of time for myself to think what I have done in this semester and what I am going to do in the future. I understand that claiming how busy I am is actually finding excuses for my failure of time management; however I really found it hard to finish everything handsomely before the deadline. Punctuality or refinement, I could only choose one. This seems to be a vicious circle in my daily life, and I just trying could not get rid of it.

I have heard a nice sentence says that" Pressure makes diamonds." Within three weeks, the semester will come to an end. I am starting to bring the challenges down one by one. Though it is hard, I believe by doing so, people can grow, and discover their potentiality.

Music night

      After taking the last class today, I went to Yunxiu Hall (雲岫廳) with my classmate quickly. Why? It’s because “Accounting Great Voice” took place. It is what other departments call Department Karaoke. Our department didn’t have this kind of activity before. This year, some of the sophomores decided to try it. I must say that they are super good. The atmosphere made people feel comfortable, and all players were capable. I was previously afraid there would be boring and deserted. However, it was completely not at all. When I pulled the door, what I saw and what I heard was crowded people. The feeling was so similar that it recalled my pat memories in high school. How long didn’t I feel the warm sense that is like in a family? So moving.

     I can totally understand why sophomores were willing to take the responsibilities and hold many activities. Though they were very tired, what they get is priceless. They know and agree with one another in the process. In the meanwhile, they also build the bridge to make people in the department have more chances to get closer. It is really meaningful. If I have the capacity, I will give myself a chance. Not afraid of many unrealized things, just do what you want to do and enjoy it hard. May it be the common wisdom to encourage ourselves.

Starry Night

     Saturday, I went on a wonderful ecology tour in NCCU. The adventure was guided by an knowledgeable and warm-hearted teacher, Mr. Tsai, a nature-lover living near our school. Eight of us strolled around the river bank. All of a sudden, with a gleam of the flashlight, teacher found a brown tree frog, which is an protected species and was not easily found. How lucky we were! Then, we climbed on a less-trodden stairs with clumps of trees planted along the trail and streams flowing in the ditch. There we were all amazed by the glitter of fireflies and taught how to distinguish their species and sex through the way they glowed. We also heard different kind of frogs' croak. When all of them croaked together, it was just like an interesting symphony in summer. Through the branches, the full moon with adorable light hung on the silent sky. It was such a peaceful moment then.    

     I sincerely recommend this tour for those who want to uncover the mask of the starry night in NCCU. There will be four more this and next weekend so if you are interested in it, just sign up in the website below without hesitation. You will undoubtedly feel surprised!
