A summer for change

This summer is about breaking the rules and crossing the lines.

I am going to do things that i have never done before, out of laziness or lack of information and material that I previously suffered from. I am just so exciting I don't know how to speak in right grammar.

1. "You can do some exercise." Tao said when we parted in front of Foreign Language Teaching Building, him with a smile on his face. Yes, I do need some sports to strengthen both my body and confidence. Jogging is pretty much entry-level and I can do that. The only equipment i have now is a Pingpong bat and ball. If these two work out well, i may go ahead and buy myself a basketball! Sounds crazy! But it feels great! Cross the lines!

And that is not enough. I have to choose one sport. Maybe the most relevant is basketball. OK, i will try to do some research into NBA! Even if i don't end up an expert in it, I will at least pave myself the road and set off on it.

2. I am going to learn to cook, and drink tea.

3. Explore book stores in town. Sweep the school library.

4. Travel by myself. Go to the seaside alone.

5. The garden! It have been deserted for too long since Aunt got sick. I am to step in and make the more beautiful than ever. Like the ones out of Oscar Wilde's stories.

"The studio (my study, dining room or kitchen) was filled with rich odour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden, there came through the door the heavy scent of lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn."

6. I am to eat things I have never eaten before. Wow, there are so many of them. Right now I am drinking from a steel cup the tea with jujubes. And the gray and ugly steel is just so out of place with the scent of the tea. I can't wait to swtich to a glass or porcelain cup and watch the colour of the tea change over minutes.

7. I will change anything at home into reading and learning facilities. (But I will never waste a single minute on the television. I will boycott the television. Sounds cool.) In cool weather, the divan is indisputably the best place for reading. Where there is a cool and pleasant summer wind in the corridor, i will stick to my favourite little chair. Night is no longer family television time, but reading time. In the daytime i will take care of the garden and practising speaking English.

8. Music. From classics to pops.

9. Read the book Art and Illusion and see whether i am into art and more.

For now i can only come up with this much. I will keep this up to date when i think of more.

This summer is about expanding my mind, scope and world!
