A Cool Breeze. Is It Fall Again?

It’s been about half a year since I last came here. Is a blog that hasn’t been updated in ages still a blog? Listening to music and tapping out these words, I wonder what you, on the other side of the screen, are doing right now. Over this half year, this past year or so, my moods have swung a lot. I’ve gone from aiming too high to keeping my feet on the ground, and I want to take things one step at a time and rewrite the road ahead of me. There’s so much I want to say, but when it gets to the tip of my tongue I don’t know where to begin. This year I scored just over 200 on the gaokao, and through what Chinese people call “connections” I got into a junior college. I suppose it still counts as college: a year and a half in Bengbu, a year and a half in Hefei, and at the end I can still go on to an adult-education bachelor’s degree. I have to work hard on the road ahead. I chose Software Technology (Computer Programming and Applications) as my major, and thinking it over, I don’t regret it. I love this stuff. I spent the whole summer break working, and I’ve grown up a lot. Keep a low profile, stay steady: those few words really are the foundation for standing on your own in this society. Don’t draw attention to yourself, and don’t stick your nose into other people’s business. A reminder to my future self: I hope from now on I study with my feet on the ground and stop daydreaming. And to all you blog friends I’ve neglected: hello. PS: I removed more than half of my blogroll and am starting to update the blog regularly. My real blogging life begins now.
