We made it today to have dinner together but we were waiting for each other at different gates….my fault…haven’t made it clear to her.
Janics came here to have a Chinese study course for about a month and I began to think the course is kind of nonsense when she said the teacher tried to teach them the song “大约在冬季”…but also barging….That’s an important issue…-_-bbb
She is an American-born Korean and went back Korean at six, then applied for a univ in USA. I told her about Chason’s story (bless~~~tomorrow). A few weeks ago I had dinner with him one night when I heard his decision. What impressed me most is that he said he didn’t want to follow the way as others did. It wasn’t your desire, actually you didn’t choose the way yourself. Because it was there, you just went along it as everyone else. I had a few thought about these words and got some conclusions. Janics told me the poem “the road not taken”. “I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.” she said. When she was in high school she was in a team which are aiming at applying for univ abroad. That’s not a common choice and they think that poem best describes them. “But we have to try, ” she said, “life is not too short, we can try out what we really want”.I told her about an essay I read recently, similar idea. I think that’s right. Not until recently I began to think about these issues, such as what I want to do, what I want to be. My vision is kind of very limited before. Probably a lot of people are. It was like a shining on me that I began to think what my life is for. Go abroad, get a PHD, become a professor or whatever. That’s nonsense. I can’t go on this issue because I haven’t sought out an approach clearly. But it is fortunate that I begin to think this way before it is too late.
We also talk about religions. “A Korean and studying in the US, I must be a Christian” she said. I thought about the Korean girl I met last summer who sent me the bible. I don’t have a religion probably because I don’t want have one. She said she had confidence in herself but sometimes emotional and fragile. “When you don’t know what your future will be, what your current decision will affect your future, and you think that the god knows that what will happen and what you will be. It is much more easier.” I told her the light will blind you and I don’t find something really worth trusting in. But a lot of people do believe in something, there must be some reason. So I took some courses about religion to seek out the reason.
And animation. Oh~~great~~she knows kenshin, but not much. hehe, I really appreciate him although I don’t quite like the plot, kind of repeating. but the comics a much better than TV series.
hmm…that’s all.
