The Retrocession

I have made some pretty important decision this week. Hope I wasn't being too rash. It definitely took me a long time to make up my mind. After all, it's a battle between dreams and reality. 长痛不如短痛。 I think I know myself best, and so far I don't remember having much regrets in life. When a window is closed, another would open for you. I shall take this few months off to enrich myself with some essential skills. Gotta be more hardworking than the rest to succeed in life. The main point of this post is of course, not about my life. This blog was never meant to describe my life. Instead, it was meant to describe everything else. 身边的朋友们，非常感谢这些年来对我的鼓励。 Perhaps I have some low self-esteem issues (contrary to popular belief hahahaha) but everyone has been very encouraging.

But too bad, you can't. Another year of Archi. Such fun. And attempting a minor. And balancing so many roles in hall.

I am being damn lazy I admit, but it's not the thing I like to do. I freaking hate it. I love to study, but I hate to build things. I don't like the idea of keep on failing and trying and failing and trying. Glad I met great friends in Hall, but actually I am still very much on my own. 人的一生，仅有一次相会， 请珍惜身边的人、事、物。
