Every time when I returned home for holiday, there is a period where I live a Pig’s life. And this holiday is nothing different. For a whole day, I would just eat, sleep and watch TV. I don’t want to touch my computer or checking email.I don’t want to do anything that involves thinking. Maybe I am too tired after a whole semester of busy studyig life. And I didn’t get a break after examination and plunged immediately into three months of internship. I guess I just want to be totally relaxed for a while.

But after some days, this kind of life becomes boring. The feeling of not achieving anything made me restless and irritated. I know I have to do something to feel I am not wasting my time.

Actually there are many things on my to-do list, but I don’t know why I just can’t make myself starting doing them:

1.       finish internship report

2.       learning dutch

3.       finish US journal and photo captions

4.       organise and scan my paper photos

5.       help mum organise her articles and files

6.       etc.

Though I have not finished anything on my list, I have done something that is meaningful – that is being mum’s technical support whenever she has problem with her computer. Mum is going to give a lecture to a group of doctors from Xie He hospital about how to write simple news articles. So she has been busy preparing Powerpoint slides for the talk. Beside teaching her how to use the functions of the software, I have also been her first audience to provide feedback on the talk.

IT knowledge like this is very easy to young people, but not to woman in her age. But she is very focused everytime I teach her and makes notes too. Thus she learns very fast. I am so proud of her.
