New Semester Begins!

It’s been around two weeks since the new semester began, and I’ve been busy until now. Finally, I can take a break at the weekend. Hahaha

There are many new things I have to learn this semester, including coding, statistics, some NLP, and so on. Sometimes I can’t imagine how to deal with those new things, but I always told myself that I could overcome those problems. I am fortunate because I have my family, boyfriend, and his family to support me. My classmates that I met and have been on the same team so far are good people too. Professors are engaging and strict for sure. XD When I have language problems or studying questions, I can always ask them. They are kind people, although I don’t have enough time to get to know everyone. I wish I could.

Except for the study, I’m worried about my family’s situation. The only thing I can hope is that they can make it. I can only try to do what I can do, but I know I can only give some suggestions or mental support. I can’t help with material or stay with them now. Sometimes I’m afraid I will miss something, but I can only seize any hope and try to do my best. It would be great if we have Stargate or can transport ourselves in a short time. Then I don’t need to think about the journey time for extraordinary or emergency events. So far, we don’t have that kind of technology, and I guess that’s why we can always just treasure it when we have the chance to get together.

I miss Taiwan, things, the ocean, mountains, food about Taiwan, and my family, friends in Taiwan. However, I know my partner is great, and his family treats me well too. I only hope for the best for everyone, and we won’t regret essential things in our life. I want to see you again, and I hope you can hold on, even in the tough time!

Happy New Year!

Delicious Taiwan home-made dinner! Braised pork on rice, green onion eggs, cabbage fried with pork and Chinese Kale fried with pork! My mom and dad are very good at making these dishes!

It’s 2020! Maybe it will be another important year! After finishing this semester, I can look forward to the traditional new year and vacation, and then another busy last semester.

Looking back my 2019, I finally passed many exams, presentations, and reports. I hope I can get good news this year, and graduate smoothly. I don’t want to make my parents be worried, especially my next step. Although there are some problems with my family’s health, I hope they can eventually get their health under control. I hope my parents can take care of their bodies more. I hope my family and friends can have a healthy 2020. About love, my boyfriend got to know my family and friends more. He is willing to learn and understand our culture, and get along with my family. I can relax, and wish we have another anniversary year. On a side note, while my boyfriend was here, we took a trip around Taiwan. There is a railway that travels around the island. We learned to surf, climbed the turtle island, went to Takaro, the daily Lily flower meadow, and the surprising dolphins! We met kind people, had many different tasty foods, and admired beautiful landscapes. We had nice memories with my family and each other in 2019.

There are many challenges in the future waiting for me. I hope I can conquer and pass every challenge. Although it can be scary, I hope I can get through every test safely. Thank you for every one I love and who also loves me. Because of your love, we are here. Thank you for every one I met, maybe we just crossed paths briefly. But because of those moments, I can pass 2019 smoothly. Hope I have great serendipitous moments waiting in 2020. Treasure every day, and have a healthy, safe, joyful 2020.
