Enjoy Reading

I read when I have time these days. One reason is I am not sure whether it's ok to watch TV or read the newspapers in the entertainment room, since the seniors may have some words to say. I don't like that feeling, so I just don't do that at all until they are retired from the duty. The other is I believe reading is the best thing I could do in the military.

I really enjoy reading. Also, we would share what we are reading. Moreover, one senior, who want to learn English, would ask me some English questoins and how to learn English. I like sharing with him, because it helps me review and inspire me to learn more.

I plan to use the time well to read books that I used to have no time to read. And I would bring more books back today, including some English books.

Reading and more reading! ^^

Bike Boy

I rode my bike back to the military on 1/10. I haven't rode that far since I graduated from high school. I used to ride the bike to wherever I want to go. The farthest place I ride is my university and train station, which takes 48 minutes. However, I rode 75 minutes back to the gate of the base, which pushed my record much further. It's pretty tired, especially I don't ride the bike for more than 5 years. Besides, I don't ride that bike many times, and it hasn't been ridden for a long time as well. Therefore, I had to worry not only my body condition, but also whether the bike could go that far. Anyway, it's pretty ok, though it broke down once and I fixed it.

Today, 1/14, I ride the bike from the base all the way back to home again. I take it to the store to fix some problems to make sure it with the perfect condition. I only have one day off, so need to ride back again in the evening. It's another chanllenge for me to ride that long distance in one day. Hopefully the legs won't be too sore, because I would have duty(衛兵)from 5am to 7am on the next day.

P.S. It's more convenient to ride the bike, though it's tiring. Anyway, I just come up with an interesting idea, which I can go back to the school to participate some classes when I have day off. I believe it's a more meaningful way to do in the free time than just sitting in front of the computer and watching TV. Let's wait and see, since the semester is about over in two weeks and still a while until the next semester. Exciting about the new holiday plan!
