Making Some Changes...

It has been a while after I posted my last blog. I have been busy from the end of June until now. I was supposed to take a 2-months vacation from my work, but I finally decided to sign up to teach two summer school course and one extra course for a corporate training for the extension education center for my school. So, you might be able to tell that I might have been busy, then.

I am currently making some changes of my life. I just moved to a new apartment, which is closer to my workplace and I also moved to a nicer office (comparing than the one I stayed in before) and tried to expeirence the life of being a full-time student.

What do I mean by those changes? The new apartment is nicer and cheaper in rent. I love it though. Although my room is a lot of smaller than the one before, I can have a kitchen and two other roommates (one is my colleague and the other is a younger girl) and enjoy cooking again. I love cooking and I can spend a whole day sometimes to think about what I want to cook and watch the cooking channels or cooking TV programs.

Another change I have made is moving to a new office. I used to stay in a bigger office, which is also the main office for the department but I didn't like it there because of noise and some other distractions. Sometimes, a group of the studenst would step in and started asking me weird questions. The students sometimes asked me to lend them taps, pencils, paper or some other stuff. They even sometiems asked to help them check out some equipment like computers, CD players and wanted me to help me open a door to ceratin language lab. All the distractions and noise sometimes made me go nuts. I am happy now because I am far away from the noise and distractions now. Hooray!!!

One more change I am making now is to study hard and be a full-time student. I am not really taking any course exactly but I spend time studying for my GRE exam which is coming at the end of September and the middle of October. I don't know how exactly I will do on the exam but lots of people are praying for me and I am praying for myself and hopefully and I will be all right. I also study a lot and do lots of practice exams and memorize a bunch of words which I guess I will never use them again. Pray for me for this coming GRE exam!
