What an intense day!

It started from an early breakfast at my neighborhood at 8a.m.


I rushed to school to meet with Judith as we've made an appointment talking about the group project. Four person in our group, two showed up, including me----poor show-up rate huh. But it didn't frustrate me at all, since in that case I had more chance to speak up, and I did!LOL. Thanks to the one-hour's talk, finally I got much more used to Judith's British accent! (I do like British accent but I just don't get them easily sometimes..)


I rushed back home without having lunch with my group mate when I found that my cell phone was not in my handbag. And I saw it the moment I opened the door of my apartment. My iPhone was just laying there peacefully and innocently, reminding me of one of my eternal disease--carelessness.




I rushed out again to meet with 2 of my classmates at the MTR exit of Tai Wai, as we were going to do some interviews together to get one of our midterm assignments done. The assignment is writing up a piece of news feature reporting the living situation of HK's working class and their views about the minimum wage policy, which is on its way. The interview went on better than I expected, for at least two waitresses didn't turn us down directly and were willing to talk to us. Actually I've already adjusted my mentality a lot after I encountered lots of rebuff last time in the Festival Walk. But still, it hurt a little when most of the waiters we approached just responded with a No. I guess that's just the situation that all journalists in the world must be prepared for.


"Reporting is the land of 'NO!', but 'NO' is only the beginning of the work you have to do." I remember the sentence from a journalism book I once read. And just till now I can fully understand how true it is. (forced smile.....@@)




Well, back to the rundown of today. I rushed to school again to join the rehearsal of Victor's band, in which I volunteered to be a back singer. But, surprise surprise! This night, I was appointed to be the leading singer of the song , "Take me home, country road", which I hardly knew how to sing at all!


Dramatically, this intense day is ending with me replaying "Take me home, country road" in my laptop, trying to learning the melody and lyrics.
