Today is the first day of new semester. Though I knew that this year’s summer holiday was short (only a month) and definitely past quickly, I just couldn’t help but lamenting on the elapsed time. Weeks flew like a flash and now I say farewell to my summer holiday, reluctantly.

It is interesting to make comparison between plan and actual action, and for me, the result is quite disappointing. Except hosting the relatives as planed (in fact, it is an objective task), I hardly achieved any of goals I had made. I had planed to pick up my Japanese and went over fundamental  grammar, but I even haven’t touched books; I had planed to write English Blogs third times a week, but the fact is I totally wrote 3 blogs in a month; I had planed to read books about English grammar, but sadly only one chapter was finished. My laziness is really unforgivable. Apart from the goals mentioned above, I had hoped to lose a little bit weight through fitness training, but the number on scale is so stubborn, it haven’t decreased a little.

Then, How Did I idle time away? After making introspection, I find that, except hosting guests, I spent a lot of time in watch TV series and DVD. In the first two weeks, I was attracted by a TV series called Famous Detective Di Renjie（神探狄仁杰）. I had to admit that it was a well elaborated story with tensive storyline and excellent performance, for which I served two week’s night time. Another TV series I watched this summer is called The Happy Life of Daughter-in-Law （媳妇的美好时代），a light comedy, interesting and close to era. Besides, I watched many movies, such as 'Clash (诸神之战)，Tangshan Earthquake (唐山大地震)， Lost on Journey(人在囧途) and etc. Some of them are really worth watching because they brought to me visual feasts or inner touch. This summer, I also spent much time in doing physical exercise. I went to Yoga Gym 5 times a week. Though failed to lose weight, my feeling was quite good. Compared with the lethargic situation in the last a few summers, exercise made me energetic.

New semester began, my life will back to busy routine soon. Work will be as usual, the most important thing for me in this half year is to get master diploma. Wish myself pass the concealed evaluation and dissertation defense smoothly!
