I recently received an email (honestly, I didn’t know anyone was actually reading my babble…!) encouraging me to continue my explorations and lifestyle. I hadn’t realized the interpretation of lifestyle through my blog. I see this as a place to record thoughts, images, products, and adventures that inspire or excite me and make me wonder, ponder, think, and question.
How fitting. Now, about 6 months since I started this record, and upon reflection, it does seem as if I’m trampsing (or traipsing) around the globe on this glorious adventure. Sometimes, I am and it’s exciting! Other times, I’m just a young lady trying to figure out what to do next. In actuality, I am exploring. Exploring what to I want to be when I grow up. And I realized that at the start of all this, I had big plans to do a lot- I think we always do. And upon reflection of our actual accomplishments, it never quite matches up to the desires and goals. So, I’ll keep striving! And occasionally keep you updated here.
In the mean time, I’m on a summer vacation for another few weeks. As I mentioned 6 months ago, I studied industrial design, graduated from college, and worked full-time for a couple years. Then, I decided after spending a summer in China 5 years ago, that I’d always wanted to go back again. So the easiest way to do that? Since it has also been on my list of things to do, I’d go and learn Chinese. And here I am now… between Beijing, where I learn Chinese, and Boston, where I forget what I’ve been learning! haha..
Now, to my next point. I’m sorry to the readers out there for any recent posts that needed more thought and attention to grammar. I admit, I’ve been busy lately and have blogged posts that lack a real story. I’m now making a promise to myself (and to you, please make sure I stay on track!) not to just fill my blog for content, but to instead tell stories and make meaningful observations in a thoughtful, well written way (however short or long).
Thanks for your support, everyone! (and I’m sure it’s literally, just ‘one’ out there…) haha :)
我最近受到一个人读我的blog发给我的email。他问我怎么能有我每天旅游的生活。但这不是我真正的生活只是希望的生活。但我在这里写的只是我喜欢的东西还有让我想想和想记的。
我从大学学习工业设计毕业以后做工做两年想去中国。因为我五年前在上海过暑假我想再去学习汉语。
我的生活有肘候真有意思有时候我只是姑娘将大。差不多六个月之前我开了这个blog。现在我在想想我还没做很多我想做的。在北京学汉语,在波士顿忘了我学学的。。。哈哈。
但从现在开始我让你帮我在这个blog进步我在这里写的内容。谢谢你们!
