Mar 22~28
Sometimes, I am just wondering why I am here. What am I pursuing for?
Since I became a freshman, I had deeply considered something about my future. Many people tell me that languages are only an assistant tool in my future career. Maybe that is true. However, I am still very interested in learning languages. And, the most important is that, actually, I don’t know what my second skill is! My mom hopes me to double major in order to grow much more competitive. At first, she did not stop me from attending foreign language and literature department. Until recently my sister can not find her ideal job (she also graduated from English department), so my mom starts to worry about my future career. I do not know whether I should listen to her words to double major. The advantages part of double major is that I can fulfill myself and cultivate my second skill. I can have more choice in my future career. In contrast, the disadvantages part is that I am worry about if I have the ability to double major. I really want to learn more about my language major. I chose French as my second language because I think French is an attractive and elegant language. And I hope one day, I can go to Paris and communicate with French. Besides my enthusiasm for language, double major may need to study for another one year in my college life. I was live in Taipei; it is really far away from CCU. Although I like my campus, sometimes I still miss my family and want to go home.
I am very confused about double major. It is a dilemma for me. Maybe I need more time to figure out what I want.

This week, I found my new house. After we become a sophomore, we need to draw lots to decide who can live in dorm. Each department have different quota. I am not sure how many of us can get the opportunity to live in dorm, but I know you have to be very lucky. The chance is little. Well, I am not a lucky person at all. I know that long time ago. As a result, I started to find my new home few weeks ago. This is a very new experience for me. I never imagine that one day, I need to rent a house and live far away from my family and home. Maybe this is an inevitable step in my life, I just wonder that why it comes so soon.
I used to think that studying far away from my hometown will be very free. I can do whatever I want and go home as late as I can. However, at the first night I came to CCU, I suddenly had a strong feeling— I am here, alone. No family, no friends, and even acquaintance. Just like I was abandoned by the whole world. This is far from my imagination before. But I know I must be independent. I need to learn how to live by myself. At first, it was very difficult. I sometimes miss my mom especially when she gives me a phone call and asks me if everything ok.”Don’t worry. Everything is fine.” I say to her as usual. I seldom express my mind and emotion to her because I am afraid of worrying her. But, sometimes, it is really hard.
Since I came here, I had learned something that I never knew before. I still keep learning and growing. I want to achieve my goals not only in academic but relationship. My college life still long and I will realize my dream step by step.

This Saturday, Angel, June and I went to Cyiayi Performing Art Center to see the CCU’s musical. When we went to the bus stop, we meet May and Heidi. And my sight was caught by a group of foreigners who also wait bus there. They looked like students too and were chatting delightful. It was hard for me to distinguish which country were they from because I heard many kinds of different languages. English mix with Chinese and…Spanish? I was not sure at all. And then, one of them even took out of his guitar and started to play. They sang together. I felt really surprise not because of their voice but was their confidence and comfortable. They did not try to catch others attention (although they DO catch many walker’s attention), and just sang from the bottom of their hearts. They enjoyed themselves. All of a sudden, I thought they are so shining.
A boy went upon us, saying hello and trying to chat with us. I found his Chinese is pretty good. His name is Alex and they are the members of rotary club. They were from many different countries and came to Taiwan as exchange students. To my surprise, he only came to Taiwan for six month! His distinctly Chinese pronouncing makes me under the illusion that he has lived in Taiwan for years. He is very conversational and humorous. When he knew that we are nineteen years old, he looked very surprise (well actually, when I knew he is eighteen, I was shock too!). The conversation was very interesting, a Brazil girl and a Mexico boy came to join us. When they knew May is learning Spanish, they used some simple sentences to say “hola”. The Mexico boy even took out a bottle to show us flair bartender.
During the conversation, I did not play a role on speaking. I just listened most of time. To be honest, I really admired Heidi. She spoke fluently. I just cannot pluck up my courage to speak. Maybe this is one of the reasons why I think they are so shining. To them, they was also talking to foreigners. Their confidence impressed me a lot.
