Good Days

Many good things happened in these good days.

First of all, I want to congratulate myself on finishing so many novels:) In the past few weeks, I just had the impression that I was all eased up and relaxed, without doing anything in particular. But a recalling of the books I have read really astounded me. It was quite an anticipated yet unrealised shock. Due to the MYEs, I had to break off in my reading of John Nash's biography "A Beautiful Mind"(also a motion picture directed by the same director of "Angels and Demons"). However, the broken chain was relinked soon after MYE and I managed to finish other books like "The Appeal", "The Curious Incidents of A Dog at Nighttime", "The Alchemist", "A Christmas Carol", and now I am reading two of my favourite pieces: Sebastien Japricot's "A Very Long Engagement" and Amy Tan's "Kitchen God's Wife".

Basically these books are used to serve different purposes. Serious pieces like biography, novels on justice, spiritual purification, war and family are to be perused carefully and thought hard on; while leisure pieces like mysteries, thrillers and abridged/illustrated versions of classics are to
be scanned through. These reading periods are really the best moments in a day. Though I often felt extremely sleepy in the morning when reading story books, now I really cherish those times when I could read, carefree. Now, I still have other books on shelves to read, like "Neither Here nor There", "The Lovely Bones", Roald Dahl's short story collection "Omnibus", "The Day after Tomorrow" etc. I also want to reread Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights" and "Harry Potter 6"
since the movie will be coming soon, and Nora Roberts' a few books. Maybe I just do not have much time left to read, since I cannot totally ignore my tons of homework, especially science and humanities papers----I just cannot squeeze them all into the last week and sweep through them like a panda-eyed, dreamy-looked Superwoman. Moreover, I am still waiting for my ulcers to fully recover so I can pracitise my oral soon.

Another good thing that has been happening only recently is that I have rekindled my writing habits:) Due to the MYE----seems that it was the end of all good things----my writing portfolio was stagnant for almost one whole month! These two days, since I have no "outing obligations", I am able to find time to write something:) What a relief to see that my portfolio will be "fattening"
soon! Many good stories have been compiled, which make me feel really good.

The final "good thing" we can all take with a grain of salt: I manage to read some chapters in science textbooks. This is, of course, another self-imposed task that helps nothing in my tons of homework. I only hope that it will adapt me better in the upcoming semester.

By now, good things can continue to happen till the last week of June Holiday looms----by then I will be struck by all those unfulfilled homework. Hopefully I will exert myself to at least cover all the challenging topics.

Hmm, I shall cherish and enjoy these few good days, in case they ellapse too soon.
