[ 夢土上 ]

For some reason I didn't sleep well last night. I was so sleepy today, but finally, I've done with all my class and work. Before dinner, it's time for me to sleep...ha...4:30 pm now.
.
i just came back from graduate admission office and art studio office where I submitted my last application materials. On the way to dorm, I was moved by an old couple, which was walking on chilly and windy campus. Holding each other, they walked slowly. They were both so old but looked kindly and friendly. Maybe came on campus just wanted to take a walk and look around young kids. When I passed by them in a rush as usual, the old lady smiled at me sweetly...I was surprised, but I smiled at them back also.
.
That's it! It's what I want to say today. I feel good. I feel happy :)
I love you dear J. And I wish everyone has a happy Valentine's Day.
Be ready, love is coming!!

Weekend. Although snowing slightly last night, it was warm in the morning. When I went to Jazzmen's cafe to buy 2 bagels for my breakfast at 9:30, snow had started to melt. But as the forecast shown on Yahoo Weather, it might have snow accumulating 1~3 inches tomorrow.
.
The toaster in the cafe didn't work, so I had to bring my bagels back and microwave them. It was a tragedy because I didn't take the food wrap off before I threw the first one into the machine . The steam was sealed inside and the bagel became soft and extremely chewy. You know...it was so tough just like a tire. However I was too hungry that I had no choice but eat it. Now, I can clearly feel muscular pain of my cheek.
.
Life goes simply and fast here. I have a presentation on Monday, an essay outline due on Tuesday, and before 15th, I have to submit the last application to Fine Arts Program of SUNY New Paltz, the campus I am staying now. They are what I have to do this weekend.
.
I have one more bagel. It will be my teatime snack later, and I'll still microwave it. Hopefully I won't mess it up again~ Ha!

I came back to New Paltz last Thursday. It's not so cold here. The frozen pond has melted, and Canadian geese are coming back from south. It seems like spring is coming... I have a lot of catching up to do because I came back late. They have started the class two weeks.
.
Okey~New semester! Don't stop A-Ting!!!

I am almost done with my application work. Statement of purpose, resume, slides, and reccomendations...one by one, step by step, I am on the way to my dream. I am going to apply 8 schools. Hopefully I can get into a better one like Pratt, SVA or Hunter College. I looked at my slides in the slide folder under light. How beautiful they are! They are a part of my life…they are my best works… I am going to be a good artist. It’s what I want to do.
.
The photo above is a street in my hometown…it is not a night market seriously, but it’s close. It’s a street that always crowded, busy and full of food vendors in the night. The Chinese New Year is coming. You can see the beautiful spring couplets shops, which are shining the red light in the photo. I love New Year!

I have a good time this winter vacation. In these days, something miracle is happening to me. I feel so happy. Life is so interesting :P

Last weekend, I went to Thai-Ann(泰安鄉) two days with my friend. Before we came back, we went strawberry picking. It was so cold and humid on the mountain, but the strawberries were so sweet! When I came home, I put strawberries, grapes and my mother's little tomatos in a plate. Ha Ha~they were so beautiful, and of course so delicious!

I am sick >___<
I have a cough, a light fever, and my nose is running!
My eyes, nose are allergic, and my joints as well...
Fortunately, I've passed though jet lag...

I am sleepy all day......

I am not in good shape lately. I got my TOEFL(IPT) score, it was not good as I expected. There are 4 sections in the test. Each of them is 30 points, so the maximum score is 120. I got a very good grade, 28 in Listening. However, my Reading is too poor, only 10. Oh...oh… Both of my Writing and Speaking scores are 17. It’s in average though. I was frustrated, but anyway, I have to keep going, keep doing well in my application and English learning. I've improved a blt, but I need a higher score!!
.
They went a pub again last night but I didn't go out with them. I drank 3 beers, did a new painting in my room, and also watched a good movie “Ray” which is about a great Jazz musician Ray Charles…I was bored...I have two more finals next Tuesday, the day before my flight. They are easy for me...I have been studying hard the whole semester.... yeah, I did, but it's still not enough...
.
I am leaving anyway. Cheer up man!

It's so cruel!!!
.
Ha...Everyone is going to full in love here. What a terrible situation to me! One of my best friends, a Japanese little girl is involved with a cute England boy. My conversation partner, who I usually study with in the library, studies with a Korean girl now. My roommate is also getting busy now. A cute girl, who is a DJ and loves music as my roommate does, has visited our room so frequently. I think they are definitely becoming a couple.
.
I feel so lonely…ha ha…what I can do in this boring weekend are study, do a little bit painting, and write crappy stuff on my blog…
.
I knew…it’s winter. Fortunately I’m going back to Taiwan soon. Wow…

It was snowing all night on Thirsday. When I woke up Friday morning, snow was as high as my knees. I took some stupid photos with my friends in the snow after lunch. Please click in this paragraph and see these photos. I love snow, but my roommate told me if the temperature keep low, these snow won't melt until spring, and the snow beside roads will become brown and disgusting = =
.
I'll come back to Taiwan on 12/22. See you soon. ...繼續閱讀
