Wandering on campus around 2 p.m., I saw the line for free Indian food was so long that it made two turns. I wanted to step into it for I felt some reason I should have a lunch slot before home---sooner or later the body needed to be fed, to get it solved right away might be time saving then made my day well scheduled looking. Always the other voice inside let out a simple word firmly, NO. I nearly didn't think twice before left the scene. To follow your inner pace, be aware of your true needs, then it is a easy decision to make.

I left, instantly relieved. About a 5 min brisk walk, I found a cafe where I spent the next hour writing back new emails and planning for the rest of the day. Then things went smoothly. Priorities sorted out, job list shaped in mind as well as what to eat for dinner popping up naturally in a cute way. A good lead-in makes sequential successes.

Started copying out Romans in notebook. A sense of peace made me quite into this seemingly mechanic work and sub-conscience was activated binging out historical event pieces in deep heart back to mind and then somehow connected, synthesized, concluded them, presenting in your presence a surprising ending like Sherlock Holems unpacked another unbelievable case. Peace and truth came at the same time, and that 's the amazing effect for physical toil.

Met Jialin in the AW workshop. The lecturer delivered by the one I enjoyed most, was clear and fruitful, pushing my intrinsic impulse to pick up pen beginning with summarizing. I really felt painful digesting the weekly required articles, fulfilled with jargons and disciplinary concepts which were hardly related to what I might gonna do for personal project. Frankly, I haven't thought thru my big research question yet cos time flew faster than pigeons here. As a professional multi-tasker, I somehow failed to manage time in a good way and was so susceptible by cell phone, wechat and weird thoughts. 

I want to have a daily writing practice here to tune my way of thinking into English than Chinese, cos I really have devoted too much time into Wechat, which I'm sure is not something makes God happy. Easy things wither quickly and are more apt to be darkened. Hard things are slow but will be crystallized into gold later. Once I got here, one of my aims was to develop my English academic writing. So always keep your aim in heart and step out your comfort zone, even a little bit further each day!!!!
