July 1st, a special start

If you ask me what I have accomplished yesterday -- June 30, I will tell you a long intense real story. oh, well, in short, a new era is to start. I never believe too many Chinese old tales, but this time, it proves: a good journey will begin after many frustrations and difficulties. On thing I did that day, was that I quickly made the good decision within such short time. Usually I could hesitate, but I am glad that at that moment, I made a sharp decision and did not drag to the coming week. This process has been long enough for me. I have already questioned myself why I would let my own life being controlled by others who I have no clue, and if all this original idea is still good for me. Couple years ago, I have told myself that I will not let this drag me down and someday when I look back, I won't regret since I have accomplished other things than staying for a process(and some possible whining). ha, a grow-up! Later, I found out there are quite a few people hesitate at that moment. I am glad I did not.

I originally planned to go to Seattle working in the law firm today, but I decided to take low-key, spending time with my parents, taking them around and enjoy the sunny day.

Meanwhile, I start to prepare the test this month. Talking to my friend Jerry in MIT, I realized that struggling to improve my language skills is not just my concern. He feels the same way. I certainly reached the level too long and try to figure out how to step up to the next one.

Last month, I found my dream house and was happy to know that I can afford without carrying too much loan. It is a big house by the lake with 0.7 acre land and gorgeous landscape. For years, I have always missed the time living by the water where I grew up. I promise myself someday I will buy a house by the water. The house is close to 10 years old and special design by an architect. I like the way how it lay out getting a lot of sunshine with many windows. Inside, there are all wood floors and marble kitchen. Two big bedrooms with two private large bathroom. There is another bathroom by the kitchen for guests. see what I mean, that is my dream house. But, here is but... I always feel that I am not quite settling in this area and I still carry the dream I want to go for. I went to check out this house four different times. I told myself that I can always buy a house I dream for, but I can not give up my dream which carries my own identify and characters in.

For the T test, I should put more time seriously and well organize my time efficiently. I have chopped down a few regular appointments. I am very thankful to my parents who strongly support me.

Current reading: just finished the book -- A Mighty Heart, highly recommend. I do not think I will go to see the movie which usually ruin the originally writing. I just got a new book today and start to read. < A woman in Charge>
