Dear you,
I haven’t written to you for a very long time. You must be very worried or curious about what I’ve been doing these days. My mum also concerned me a lot during this period, because I did not call home at all for the past two weeks, only some short massages instead. Sorry to both of you, but as I have explained to her, nothing special, I was merely preparing for the mid-term exam. You know I have difficulties in using C Programming. I tried my best to understand it. Do you have to learn C, anyway?
Spring is coming. I assume there is no cherry blossom in Singapore. But I do remember the last time when my parents and I went to a Japanese temple in our hometown and the cherry blossoms were so beautiful that the colors pink and white have already etched in my heart. I also want to go to Japan at least once in my lifetime to see how cherry blossoms can drift slowly down like a rain of petals. It must be dream-like. You like Japan. Did such idea ever occur to you?
I eventually chose Environmental Engineering, although whether I will be enrolled in that faculty is written. My destiny is somehow closely related to others’ results of NCEE, for you know my mark is not that high. You also should know that the reason I choose this major has nothing to do with its prospect of future jobs, while I do have little knowledge about this major. I think I just have the passion and desire to study our environment, and this major requires only basic knowledge of physics. Is it unrealistic? But are you with me?
Have I ever told you that I have a crush on the rain in Singapore? It rains almost every day of late, yet “I’m loving it”. It sounds like the background track of my daily life, accompanying me sometimes when I get up, and sometimes when I go to bed. If truth be told, however, as one of my tutor used to say, “What if your roof is leaking? You have no shelter to hide from the rain?” Should I be upset then?
Dear you, please be happy.
Miss you and look forward to your e-mail.
Regards,
yu

first,I think it is a good and effective way to cope with the task of blog by using your e-mail. then, one thing I must support you is that the C programming is really a monster. As for it, there is no doubt,haha.But just do it whatever it is. spring is coming? I think spring is passing and the so-called summer is coming...and I have not seen such a perfect rain of petals you described above. the e-mail you wrote is a liitle touching and you must miss your friend very much. good luck to you both.
ReplyDeleteI like your writing style. Immersed in the nostalgic memories which bear your laughter and your past, it is natural that you may feel a little sentimental. But you expressed this feeling in such an aesthetic way as a petal rain of floating cherry blossoms. Besides, do not be concerned about your major, you have followed your heart when making the decision, and that is the most important.
ReplyDeleteHi Josie yes, cherry blossoms are very very beautiful. I have not seen them in Japan, but I was in England and I imagined as you did the pink and white petals raining down on us everywhere. However, car owners did not like them very much, as the blossoms carpet the cars. I have never done any programming. But I understand your difficulties. When I was a student, I found the best study strategy was to study in groups of 3 - we help each other learn. About your major, you made an informed choice. We never really can predict what the 'best' course is. It is what we do with what we have that is important. Enjoy your course, do not worry about future job prospects and ENJOY your student days, they are the best days of your life.
