When I was in high school, all I want was freedom.
My life at that time was within three spots - dormitory, class room, dining hall.
Now I'm out of my high school, out of that school system, even out of my country.
Then what?
Happy for few months, then I don't know what's my life all about.
Even after 1 year, I still cannot figure out my life meaning.
Sometimes I want to come back to the life in high school, the life without wondering, but all about doing the signed duty.
Then I realize this is the real independence.
I have to live my life under my own will, and reach the goal by my own perseverance.
My adult friend told me:"Wanni, you have to learn to organize your life,doing the specific thing under specific time. Habit is easy to build, but firstly your will should be strong."
At that time I didn't even pay attention to this, however, as more eager I want to reach my dream, I understand the importance of a good habit, and self-control.
Life is a long time journey. There's no right or wrong for every decision I made. As long as I am on the way of progress, always possessing the hope, I believe I'm on the right direction.

Chinese New Year
Yesterday and today was the Chinese New Year Day. The sad thing was I was doing my 8 pages research paper. The happy thing was I finished the first draft of it, as well as hanging out with my friends and having the dinner in Szechuan Garden in Indi.It was really comfortable hanging out with a group of nice friends and joking in our hometown dialect. One and half year staying here, I always try to ignore the fact of loneliness, culture difference, and most importantly food unsatisfied and language. However human beings are equipped with strong stability. We can always adjust ourselves to a comfortable position in the environment. I ignore them doesn't mean they don't exist.
I know I miss my family, my hometown, my country sooooooooooo much!
Best wishes to all of them, and to myself.
In this new year I hope I get closer to the kind of person I wanna be, and get more clear about my future.
Finally, 128 days later, I'm gonna go back China!

Tuesday:
Nation Gaze was our topic in this class. We mainly focused on the Primary research, which are observation and survey. Besides the way of conducting a research paper, we also learned that the purpose of our research paper was to presenting our ideas, as well as persuading the audiences. We are unable to persuade everyone in the world to hold the same position as us, so we have to pick up the audiences, target them, and try to compose the paper based on them. Another unique thing in the class that I learned was to change the negative to positive. I found this was also a barrier I had to get over when I was doing my research. Especially in a Third World country it's not possible having no drawbacks but always progression that can attract foreigners. Anyhow, during the research I spent a lot of time trying to present the information fairly while picking up the valuable data can attract my audiences.
Thursday:
We met in the library in this class. The librarians showed us how to use the resources in library to help us composing the research paper. For the book we can go to Cardcat; for the articles and data we can go to Articles and Databases;while we can also go to map collection from Ball State. In the Articles and Databases, librarians recommended three research choices: Business source premier; Academic source research;Access world news. All of them are very helpful for conducting the paper. It was my first time that I learned how useful the BSU library was. I found in U.S. I was always struck by the way of organizing information here.

Artist: JIDI(寂地）
Artist: JIDI (寂地）
Born in China, 1983.
Famous for her first collection"My Way"
No expression on figure's face,
but the color,and the way it composes make the emotion spill out everywhere.
There's always a story beyond the scene.
It's the dream for the young.
