Letter V: The Belated TAS Show Afterthought and more about My Background

Dear Tim:

Greetings!

Almost as a routine, this week was not any more relaxing; quite the contrary, due to the extra day of school we had this Saturday. How tragic! This was actually a compensation to one of the days of the "Double Tenth Day". This holiday is one of the biggest national holidays in Taiwan. It will take place on October the tenth, a Tuesday. However, to make it a bigger and more relaxing holiday, our government made that Monday -October the ninth- a holiday as well, which ensures us a vacation of four consecutive days -from 10/7 to 10/10- and this is when we should toss our bags out the windows and cheer. Though to our disappointment, our mid-term examination is two days after the holiday. Therefore, we possibly have to wave our four days goodbye and get our bags back, take out the books, and study through the days. But let's not dwell on the impending studying depression and look back on the last week's events! On Saturday, I accidentally left my laptop at school, so I'm typing on my cell phone, fearing that I might update too delayed.

Letter IV: How to Stop Time and the Family Quality Time I Missed Dearly

Hello, Tim!
From now on, I try to write as much as I can during Sunday since this is the day I have the most time for myself. My dad just came back from his ship -he works on a ship, shipping coals to Indonesia and Australia, I think I had mentioned before, or not-; he was tired, and he is snoring lightly on the sofa right now; mom went out with her sisters for a Taiwanese traditional musical, and I am listening to my music while typing. Tonight, we will be going to a steakhouse to redeem the vouchers that are going to be expired soon. Unfortunately, I have just had my braces adjusted yesterday afternoon, and now it hurts like someone has drilled holes in my teeth; a lot. Hope that it gets better in the evening, or I would consider resolve to painkillers because no one stops me from chewing beef. (Not really THAT serious, though)

Letter III: Thoughts on the Internet and Many Topics

Greetings, Tim!

This week is more like a swirl of a naughty tornado; I barely registered anything happening before meeting quite the end of the week!

Letter II: For the Winner and the Spelling Contest

Hello, Tim! For this week, I want to first cut into the topic I love dearly. Novel recommendation!

Letter I: A New Start and an Update Long Overdue

So, time for a new start, a new cycle!

Hello, Tim, my name is Hugo, and I study in CCSH EHP, class 220. I love English, I love to read, I love owls, and I love Greek mythology. This is the weird me.
(Note: This is going to be a long article, with lots of rambling of my life around during the summer vacation. I think for once I am going to break them down into small sections. It'll look neater like this. I hope.)

Greetings, England- Day 25: Windsor Castle and my Barely Concealed Sadness

For a grand finale of this grand trip, my host dad took me to Windsor today, to see the still-occasional-residence of the Queen, Windsor Castle.

Oh, and by the way, right now, I am in the airport, waiting to board the plane.

I got a ticket for under 17 at a price of 12 pounds, while my host dad just went to a nearby café and started working.

It was a nice day, with neither sun nor rain. I grabbed an audio guide, and without another question, I started my tour in the Windsor Castle.

Greetings, England- Day 24: Trekking around in London and some more of Being Lost

Rise and shine!

Although I failed this part since I “intuitionally” chose to sleep in even when my host dad gave me a morning call.

It was an eventful day, I can first assure, where I was spending forty minutes just because I still trusted the Internet so much and striving really hard to look for a toilet.

Oh, wait, I mean, a day of museums visiting and next-to-the-river strolling. A bit of optimism makes your day upbeat and wonderful!
