*Take a quick shower

*Do some make-up

*Get dressed (It takes a while to decide which one to pick)

*Have a light breakfast

*Go to work by subway (Don’t try to take the subway during rush hour. It’s horrible like a battlefield!)

*Walk about 10 minutes from the subway station to the building where I work (Can you imagine how stinky and sweaty I am?)

*Go up stairs again with my colleague to digest food (Crazy or what?)

That's my day. What's your day like?

最近的状态不是很好，情绪的大起大落让我有些茫然不知所措。昨天一个人在家大哭了一场，把这些日子压在心头的负担通通release出来，but哭过之后，心情仍旧是灰色的。于是转移注意力，翻出了以前的diary，厚厚两本，从高中到大学，所有的memory都在里面。翻看了数篇，发觉中学时的自己很childish，成天挂在嘴边的是偶像明星八卦新闻。偶尔抒发一下感慨，会写一篇长长的随笔，文字功底显然不够高，病句歧义一箩筐，但自己也沉醉其中。如今再没有兴致keep a diary了，internet代替了原本的纸和笔，我有了自己的虚拟空间，a place that anyone can reach. 但是在这里，却不能敞开心扉speak up my mind。Is it good or bad? 不愿多想，眼前的事似乎才是最重要的。The job thing is still up in the air. The driving course is a pain in the neck. 近来还发生了一些事，带来了一些后续效应，使我不得不keep thinking，变得患得患失。朋友说的对，行为上的解放不=思想上的解放。那我是否应该解放自己的思想，摆脱现在的状态呢？又是一件需要思考的事情...Can someone tell me or give me a hint? 今天学了6个小时的车，在训练场里开了几圈，有种飞的感觉，也许这就是我现在想要的吧, and I believe I can fly. :) 

It's a terrible night. The pouring rain ruined our whole plan. We four girls meant to go to the back lake after dinner for a walk or something. But it began to rain when we were about to leave. The rain was so heavy that we were not able to go outside. So we had to stay in there until the rain stopped. During that time I got to chat with my friends for a while. They were my classmates from high school. I haven't seen two of them for a very long time. When we were at school we had tons of laughs together which have been a good memory. I was very happy to see them again. It's a great time to share my thoughts and even secrets with them.

1.5 hours later, it's still raining outside. But we had to go since it's late. What surprised us was the whole block was flooded by the rain. The water was deep enough to reach our ankles. One of my friends took off her shoes and walked in it. She left with another girl first. I wanted to take a taxi. But the traffice was in chaos. All cars were moving very slow. I couldn't find a single taxi which was available. So I walked about 2 blocks to the bus stop and got on a bus. But it couldn't directly take me home. I had to change another one. Unfortunately, the last bus was long gone. So I tried to get a taxi like many people did. But still no luck. It splashed water on my clothes as the cars passed. I felt lonely and helpless through the crowds. No taxi, no bus. It seemed that the only thing I had was my two legs. I guessed maybe I would have to walk home, which was a long way to go. As I was in desperation, a bus was coming near. In a moment, I saw the hope. That was my bus! I didn't expect there it was that late at night. As I got on it, I was so relieved. I could go home. But bad thing happened later. The bus stopped at a place where was two stops away from the termanal. The driver said the road ahead was flooded so the bus couldn't go further. I could do nothing but got off and kept walking. The growling thunders were very scary, which made me speed up on the empty street. Around 12:15 am, I finally got home. And I was so glad I was home, at a terrible rainy night.        

11:10 am, somewhere between sleep and awake, my cell phone ringed with the ringtone of not ready to make nice which was loud enough to wake me up. It’s a number I hadn’t seen before. I picked up the phone, said hello with a sleepy voice and then my sleep went away. Actually I became wide awake. Who was talking to me on the phone was a lady speaking in English. I got confused by what was going on. My first reaction was she dialed the wrong number. But apparently she did not because she knew my name and said something that I was familiar with. Then I realized it’s a call from the hiring company for a job interview. It was good news to me. But I didn't expect I got the call in another language, which made me a little nervous. I tried to answer it with my limited spoken English. Fortunately I didn't mess up the whole thing. The communication went well and I got the interview. Wish me luck!
