If you want to see different kinds of ducks and geese, you have to come to Crystal Spring Rhododendron Garden.
The ducks and the geese are more than comfortable with you and entertaining--lots of baby geese right now.
When my landlord mentioned about Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden, I didn't pay attention until I ride my bike and explore this place.

I got a surprising gift today. I want to say thanks to my dear friends.
It was a long story that happened last year, and I wanted to keep it short here.
One of my friend told me that she wanted to send me a postcard, but I didn't fly home during the break.

Since I have long time not to fly home, one of my friends gave me a pineapple pastry. The taste is quite acidic, but it is balanced out by the sweet.

When I was in Taiwan, normally my friends combined my birthday gifts with christmas gifts. Now I am in the US, and most of my friends are busy working on their final exam, so we just hang out for lunch on my birthday.

As a graduate student, I always have multiple tasks.
I want to make everything work well-done as soon as possible, so I feel frustrated.
A nice hot bath should help to relax me.
