Diary of a teenage girl

August [turn the page]

Mon. 21

Today I went to school for the second time and met my brand-new head teacher, my fellows and much more! I set off early (at 15 to 8), and arrived at the campus at 7:15 am. It took me 30 minutes, quite a long time :(( anyway, I went to the parking lot for students and settled my motorbike there, then I along with my dad went to the official building to see which class would I study at. And guess what, I study at Eng1 class! hooray! On the spot, I met my friend and her dad. We bade her dad goodbye and then headed to our classroom on the fourth floor... The sunshine was incredibly gorgeous, I took a photo of it casting light on my face =))

The classroom was dirty but new. The exterior of the buildings was old, but the interior was newly-painted and modernized with new boards, new desks and chairs, new air conditioners,... I mean, it was not beyond the pale. The WC was fine, too, with separated smaller rooms. I believe that we are all adolescents, and we will not make them foul.

Then we went to the cafeteria several hundreds of meters away =)) It was old, but it did function and yeah I'll talk about it later (for the next 3 years so don't worry). We passed by the dormitories which were kinda old too omg. Then we went to the auditorium so as to hear the history of our school, the introduction of the faculty, and much more. Then we went to each of our classroom officially, sat down, finished some paperwork with our head teacher, greeted each other, then took a photo. Well actually it was due to the fact that there is one journalistic club in my school, and their job is to take photos and post on our school's website, so that's why they went to each and every class and produced such surprising yet lovely things ><

I made a new friend, so three of us went to the club fair organized at the playground and visited each booth. I played lots of games and received plenty of candies, postcards, cards, one adorable knife used for cutting papers, some stickers, and some photos. This club fair eventually was criticized by collaborators (clubs in my school with the exception of the host club), but I think it was fine for me, because I enjoyed myself there, met lots of people and ate and drank. Hopefully, the next club fair will be better for both parties.

Wed. 23

I just realized that I passed the specialized entrance exam without studying Destination C1&C2. That book is like a must for everyone wishing to learn specialized English. And I just learnt 1 tiny part of a unit of the book, and I passed =)) Other people they purchased lots of books (trios, reading articles, 30/4,...), I have not bought anything except for 1 really basic book. After months, I still consider my journey as unimaginably mind-boggling...

anyway, today is an perfectly ordinary day with the exception of our dinner at my grandma's house. We ate oysters, dozens of oysters, and they were undeniably tasty ><

it's raining outside, hope tomorrow will be fine so that i can ride my motorbike to school safely.

Sat. 26

A lot has happened. Happiness, yes. Sadness, yes. Disappointment, yes. But things still come and go, and gradually do I realize that I need to appreciate more, rather than chasing trendy people.

As I couldn't manage to become a monitor, I realize that nothing is impeccable, and in this life there are many types of people that we should stay away from.

As I was down in the dumps, it dawned on me that I never should take everything for granted, and I had better look on the bright side. Recently I've been working with my teachers at my English center as well as my fellows and seniors. They are really helpful, lovely, supportive, responsive, and all of us, we are an integrity. Though some people, I don't know them well enough to gauge, I am convinced that they are all amazingly friendly and truthful. Somehow this center always attracts great students, and somehow I am lucky enough to meet them. We've shared many memories, though simple, rustic yet priceless. We've smiled, laughed, even cried, infuriated... but those times are all unforgettable treasures. We've teamed up, complained, had a heavy silence... but they are all temporary and ephemeral. The only thing that eternally lives in my head is great times we have together, grow together, and experience together. This center, I can tell you, has become my second home since an undefined time. And nothing can change this second home.
