I feel shameful because I haven’t written any English blogs for more than a week. Actually, I had set a plan for myself to take down something every day in order to complete a piece or two of articles. Hope it’s not too late to write something now. Last week, I found a part-time job as a tutor of a Junior 3 girl, who had to quit school temporarily half a year ago because of respiratory diseases. Every Tuesday as well as Thursday, I have to get up at half past six and set out for my work. Although sometimes I feel exhausted, her industriousness spurs me a lot to work earnestly. What’s more, I’m eager to earn pocket money on myself. After all, I’m already 20 years old, which means I should never completely depend on my family in financial aspects.

Then, these days, some of my friends left Beijing for home. The moment I watched them stepping into the ticket-checking gate and waving hands towards me to say good-bye, I suffered a lot from homesickness. How I wished I could fly home! It’s heartbreaking to recollect the delicious food mom cooked whenever I could hardly stand the terrible food at school. In spite of that, I believe I should learn to be strong and independent. In that case, all the sufferings are worthy. Additionally, I plan to return home in less than 20 days, which means some kind of hope to me.
