How time flies! It is weekend again. One weekend after another, now it is the middle of December. Year 2009 is singing its last note and we will welcome the tiger year，the animal year of my son and I, after the joyous Christmas and New Year’s day.

But the coming 2010 give me much pressure because time lapses in a moment a doze before I realize it. I am facing Graduate Dissertation next year and I need to get three paper published before that. Until now, I have only one CSSCI paper and the next two one are still in the air (only some rough idea in my mind). Yesterday, when my tutor told me that my final thesis had to pass concealed evaluation before Graduate Dissertation, I feel so depressed. The job is too tough but I have no choice but go on.

My work is quite busy and I only can use night and weekend to consult data and write paper. My paper required to be written in English and the tight schedule makes me a little bit crazy. I plan to finish my second paper before the end of Jan. 2010 and finish the first draft of my final thesis before the end of April. I know that from now on, there is no play time for me in the weekends.

After much discursive writing of this blog, I come back to my topic. I will finish three things in this weekend: firstly , I will use these two days to read books and articles relative to my paper, Secondly, I will help my son with his four-star English test, Thirdly, I will visit my parent which is a  weekly routine. Of course, I will keep on writing something in Dioenglish. I hope that I can keep on writing during the tough period especially when graduate dissertation is impending.

God bless me! I wish myself good luck!
