Crime Testing Rock

We found this "Crime Testing Rock" on our way down Sunlinksee. I know it sounds ridiculous, but the sign said a guiltless man can stand on the rock with one leg and eyes closed for ten seconds without trembling. We all gave it a try, trying to prove ourselves innocent, but none of us could last more than three seconds. Oh well, everyone do commit crimes more or less, right? Posted by Picasa

Days in Shito

The second day after our big college entrance exam, the whole class, including our home room teacher, went to Shito as our last trip together. Fresh air, singing birds, acres of trees, everything you ask for to relax is here. We spent most of our the first day walking and climbing for hours until we were exhausted, then we stopped to take pictures and waited for our teacher to catch his breath. I spotted this old trunk in the middle of the mountain. Though it was not old enough to make it on the brochure, still it was beautiful that it kept me a little left behind from the main crowd and had to trot to catch up afterward. Posted by Picasa

The Worst Day For Teachers

Another photo from my graduation ceremony. I guessed we had been acting like teachers' pets for so long that graduation is always the best time to ask teachers to do whatever we want them to do, like making "the prettiest teacher in school" to make a face, or having a serious teacher to sing a popular song for us. I know that having teaching for years, not many students will remain in one teacher's mind. Surprisingly, those students that do are often those that caused much trouble, not those who didn't ( like me). Posted by Picasa

Graduation Ceremony

Finally, my first photo for at least six months. This was my high school graduation ceremony on June 10, with my classmates and our home teacher on the left. The ceremony wasn't as great as I expected, for it was raining and the show was pretty boring, but after all it was the people that matter.
My aunt from the US came to visit us aroud then, and so did my cousin George, who had just graduated from the university in Austin. He showed us the photo of him wearing a robe, looking just like a graduate. I hope we can wear the robes too instead of our normal school uniform. Although the robes always seem way too large, they somehow still make the graduation ceremony seem special.
