Poor Judgement at the Intersection -- Sleeplessness in Ithaca...

Six o'clock in the morning, I am sleepless. I turned my body over right and left, and still could not fall asleep. Then, I decided to meditate my past from year 2008 till now on the bed.
Under one circumstances I will be sleepless that is my friend " Nerve" come to visit me. However, this morning my another friend "Hesitation" comes. This is why I am always in poor judgment at the intersection without asking help from my "Heavenly Father".
Retrospecting my past, I experienced the most miracle year in 2008 and the most harvested year in 2009. I should be grateful for all the things that have done by my Father. However, I am stubborn. I turned my face off from Him and to the world. Always, I dragged myself into the world seeking things that I want by using my own ways. Obviously, it took a great effort to approach just only approach not goal. However, whenever I surrendered myself to Him. Things prosperous. I just like the Israelites described in the old testaments fluctuating between Him and the world. This is flesh and this is why I am not perfect.
For this coming year, I should not be chicken. At least, I can talk a little bit louder to myself that you can do it and surrender myself a little bit more to Him. Because I know that I really can do nothing by myself. My life could not be better if I surrender myself to Him more. Walking tall and moving forward..........

Orientation started ---新生訓練開始了

Hi, 關心我的朋友,是我該懺悔的時候了~~(一直沒有更新網頁....)
最近玩太兇了~該上來除除草了~ 我會想盡辦法補寫日記....
昨天已經開始新生訓練了，但是八小時的英語英聽課(其實是介紹及說明課程的東西，然後又一直坐在教室裡)真是累阿~還有下午冷氣太強，教授說話太小聲及音頻都保時在相同的調子上，使我非常想睡@@"，還好撐過去了~~
今天的活動比較好些了~但是，今天總算見識到美國同學Presentation及Feedback的功力了。這樣的震撼教育，使我想到真的要好好努力了~~
夢想者，你要加油了~好不容易來到這"the Promised Land"~想盡辦法帶點東西回家吧~~

JAPADOG?!

結束小白鯨的訪問行程，Tom說要帶我去一間有名的熱狗店(其實是路邊攤販)去吃日式熱狗，還說網路上很有名，所以我們就去Try了他一下。人還蠻多的哩。
他的熱狗及麵包有先用火先烤一下，有點像炭烤，之後把熱狗夾進麵包後，於熱狗上放些日式著料及醬料。我們點的是TERIMAYO口味的，她的dressing有加蠻多的日式醬油，因此有點鹹，其他的吃起來還不錯。
