Write
Last year was a easy, idle year for me. I had many happy and awesome events. I traveled to Yangshuo for second time, I witnessed 100th Founder’s day of my school and I witnessed November 11th, 2011, 11:11. They were very special experiences, and they were worth their name. I had nice time playing cards with my friends in Yangshuo, I watched the 100th Founder’s day in awe, and I was glad that I was lucky enough to witness an event that happens every 100 years. I learned that anything is not supposed to be accomplished in a day. Everything takes up lots of effort through the time. I am changed. Because I have been lazy, I had lots about time to think about things I did not care. One good thing is, now I have little clue about what I want to do. Also, I had tons of time to have conversations with my father. My father had lots of thought about me, and I was happy to know that he cared about me a lot.
