The season 2

remember when I was in high school, I always looked forward to playing some ultimate afterschool.I didn't know much about the tactics and often got lost on the field if without a coach.but maybe that's what makes it fun.I had so much fun playing ultimate in my junior year, my first year playing ultimate, but the second year,it was just not as good as the first year, maybe because some big players graduated and the team fell apart due to various reasons.I learned to adjust myself not to care about the result so much. My emotions was usually greatly affected by the game.So I graudated and got to play some college ultimate. I did not remember the fun of playing ultimate.I did not look forward to going to practice so much anymore. The competition level in college is way beyond what I have expereience in high school. The practice is a killer. I regret sometimes I got busy with all sorts of obligation and got lazy or intimidated so chose not to show up in practice.I still have fun, but not so much and I don't know why. Maybe it's just not so much fun when you can't easily outrun people anymore. Maybe it's just about time for me to bring up the intensity and changed my mantality so I can get better and keep having fun.I am surely pumped during the game, but something is missing here.but where's all the having fun feeling????

The season 1

I remember, more precisely-can not forget, what brought me into playing ultimate. The language was the thing that brought me in .since my teacher thought that I would not have much conversation with my teammates if I chose to play tennis.So I made the decision.I had gained a lot not just on improving my language skill but also becoming more socialize.Or at least kind of know more how to do so. I made so many life-long friends by playing ultimate, directly and indirectly. Obviously I was lucky to make such decision. Tennis is fun to play, but still, it's just not so much powerful in the sense of binding the team as a whole.

there's a word for that

There's a word for that, it means that a group of people who always stick around and it's hard for outsider to break into. Cleats? Sounds like the thing I wear on the ultimate field, ha, anyway, let's define it just for now. When there are two people, people either like one another or not. When there are three people, two of them can tie up against the other, three live happily altogether, or every one of them dislike the others.When there are four...there are four combination, right?When there are ....When there are 10... it can be really interesting, you see three or a few more will be closer together. of course, it can be two or one and all sorts of possibility.It definitely sucks to be the "one" in this case.Kinda down now, just want to write something out, but it doesn't seem to help, :D.I guess I just feel out of place sometimes. That doesn't bother me so much now b/c I have learned to adjust myself well enough. It is probably a good idea to start explore more, know more friends in particular here.It's not totally a bad thing I guess.

Weekend

Season is over now. That's so weird...I can't believe it. We lost the sectional.
I was really upset that we lost to … Our team chemical didn't appear until the last moment and often that was too late. Our energy level wasn't helping us, not making the right decision. We weren't playing the game whole heartedly.
I didn't do well the whole season wise. I don't have my mind there sometimes...in practice and in the game...
Too many things needed to be fixed!
I think I know the difference b/w a great player and a good player now. I would call myself a great player on my junior year and at the later season in my senior year in high school.
My skills are catching up and they are totally whole lot better than previous, but I don't put my everything out there anymore.Anyway, I got some time to fix that.

TIRED……

I went to Dallas these days. Damn it! It was a tiring trip.Then, I went to the school that may become my future school.I don't know how to describe that school. I supposed to be a cowgirl for a while.On the other hand, I asked my advisor about the degree plan. She told me it's possible that I can graduate next summer.In addition, I can get the scholarship and the in-state tuition.I really don't know how to make a right decision.It's hard to make a decision. I have already stayed in TW for a long time.I am used to live here and get a lot of friends.Time is running soon. I need to get my master degree ASAP.Actually, I really don't want to leave here.Everyone asked me to stay here, but why my advisor treated me so bad.I don't like her attitude. I want to get into our graduate courses instead of PB courses.Unfortunately, I think I may be disappointed about the final decision.But, I will try to do my best to get what I want. If I fail, I will not regret it.

Litte Miss Sunshine

How long have you never seen a great movie?It’s Oscar season right now, what’s you best movie this year? Recently I booked the internet service from blockbuster, that not means I have great time to see movies, only because I want to make further improvement for my English. ( haha...how wonderful this excuse is!)Several weeks b4, I saw a movie great recommended from friends and peers-little miss sunshine, I don't know how Taiwan movie agents translate this movie, hopefully, not too extraordinary"Little miss sunshine" has been nominated to Oscar award, it's really a heartwarming, hilarious movie about family, The great movie doesn't always need great money. The spirits or main thoughts make what they are. Haha....I thought this year Hollywood try to make people to see the inner beauty of the girls. From Emmy award actress winner Salma Hayek in Ugly Betty to Jennifer Hundson in the other this year Oscar nominated movie- dreamgirls, and the cute sweet little girl-Abigail Breslin, they all may not be the hot beauties at first sight. But what impressed me is how confident they are, no doubts, they have true beauty in any ways.
Sometimes, our family members may be the most familiar strangers in our circumstances. We spent a lot of time hang out with our friends, study with our classmates or work with our colleagues. Our family may sometimes have some imperfections, weakness, and misunderstandings. Atmosphere may not so heartwarming. However, after all, it’s still our family. Like characters in this movie, the father lost his job, brother seems have autism, and grandpa looks a weird old guy who was heroin heavy addicted. Their mom, cigarettes never leave her hands and her brother is a embarrassed gay guy. The actress-Olive is a cute but a little bit overweighed small girl. Though they seem each have their own problems. Though at first they found their family was so weird in some aspects. Finally they still found family is the only true support for them. That’s really what family is for.
A good movie like good coffee or tea never need too much sugar too much milk to cover its original flavor. And afterwards, there’s like still some sweet flavors in your tongue and remnant warmth to warm your heart, also giving you a lot of thoughts and reflections. That’s my criteria for great movies. Haha…how abstract my criteria is.
