Diary: 5-8 April

5 April:
Doing my own research is like getting used to a new pair of glasses. I found it quite interesting to read newspaper. I don't remember when I last read it regularly. This time, I found myself looking at articles just as I am looking at my primary or secondary materials in my research topic. Keep studying changes the way I see things.

6 April:
Badmington, with Yoshi, Wanyu, and Yushan. Reading primary sources.

7 April:
Sent an enquiry to an archive in Swansea, Wales.
Completed the applicaiton form for a college tutor.

8 April:
Submitted the application. Got a fascinating reply from the archive. I will make a play to visit there. Had a teatime with Kei and Yoshi. Coming back to my flat, I managed to eat Wanyu's fabulous fried-rice. Several friends of mine happened to come around. We found ourselves making Samurai hats out of newspaper (that I haven't perhaps read yet).
Had some chance to talk a bit about career-related things. I do need to step forward, and then I can think about it again.

Be positive, and keep yourself upright.

You can do what you believe you want to do.

I used to be as 'action-oriented' as you are now when I was in high-school--cannot imagine to see similar morale from the mouth of a fellow student in his 20s!
When I become depressed, I tell myself, 'If you don't belive in yourself, who else will? your supervisor??'
Of course 'lip service' from others are necessary but it is we who need to complete the journey.

You indeed lead an 'eventful' life!
Had I had blog myself, it might remain empty for weeks.
Or shall I try to 'invent' something to brighten it up?
Whether art imitates life or life imitates art is still worth testing out...
