New year's beginning~(2008-01-10 21:43)
 

Guess it’s the first time to write my Blog in 2008 and the third time in my blog history. Not used to it though. Well usually the New Year’s beginning is supposed to look back on the past and look forward to something new.

Too many changes in my life over the last year, from a student to a teacher, typical Northern city Changchun to an equally beautiful city in the South, Hangzhou. There seems to be no particular reason for me to choose teacher as my job. It’s widely held belief when we were in the college that, subconsciously maybe, we are destined to be a teacher someday.

What a surprising day it was. Such kind of heavy flood was very few in the past decade while
