Letter VII: Pending Halloween and the Theater Night With Mom

Greetings, Tim!
It has been halfway through October now and the weather has started to get colder. The crisp of the chill has seeped through windows and wooden doors, into my blankets and into my bookshelf (most mention). I know it is basically nothing comparing to how cold it can be in other places, but I'm glad that I would soon be able to put on my mom-made winter gears. My dad has just left for Kaohsiung for his training, and it takes about twenty days to see him again.

Letter VI: Small Confessions and Mom's Birthday

Greetings, Tim!
The test is over, and school is getting back to its normal pace. School fair, spelling contest, etc. are coming rather sooner than later, and the schedules are getting jam-packed once more; high school life, it is.

Happy Weekends 1: Tests Dealt with and Large Winds

Hello, Tim!
An excruciatingly torturous midterm has passed like a slow-moving snail; it felt like an eternity!
This is the first "Happy Holiday" section of this semester, and I still am lacking in time, just as usual. Later, I'll have to go to Costco with my aunt and uncle for some groceries, and then in the afternoon, I have German classes to take. Ever the jam-packed schedules; that's me.

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
