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!

技校生活
星期日收假後，隔天就分到技校（技術學校）了，在那裡我們依照自己的兵科接受更進一步的訓練，為期兩個禮拜。我分到的是二大隊，分到二大隊的都是同樣只受訓兩禮拜的同學。
這裡的生活挺不錯，吃的比新訓時好，每一餐都是五菜一湯，中餐和晚餐還有水果，吃不飽可以自己加菜，吃飯時可以講話，也不用像新訓一樣，「餐盤標齊桌緣，板凳確實坐二分之一，兩眼凝視正前方，腰桿打直，挺胸手揹好」，就很輕鬆坐就可以了，自己打完菜就可以開動了，每一餐都吃的超飽。
還有這裡只有隊上幹部--中隊長和輔導長，其餘都是學長，要求重點基本上就是個人服裝儀容，鬍子要刮、指甲要剪、衣服確實穿好即可，在生活大樓內怎麼穿基本上都OK，可以穿個拖鞋到處跑都沒關係，內務的部分主要就是床單四個角要拉好，棉被鋪平，內務櫃和床下都不要求。另外，很多自由時間，吃飽飯到集合時間前都是自由時間，可以看電視、打球、投飲料、睡覺、做自己的事、發呆...等，都沒有限制。所以這裡相對於新訓，真的像是兩個完全不同的世界，這應該是當兵最輕鬆的時間了吧。
至於補給要做的事挺多的，申請糧秣（就是米、油之類的）、被服（服裝和床單、枕頭套等）、零附件（申領零件）、辦餉（薪水）都是補給要做的事，有很多表單要填，所以上課基本上都是在學這些東西，實際工作內容和更細節的部分就要等下部隊才知道。我之後分到的汽車隊就在我目前上課的對面而已，但根據教官說法，到汽車隊也有可能被抓去當駕駛，因為一切也是要看單位卻什麼人，總之下單位就知道了。
下禮拜五（10/22）技校結訓後，就會到「直屬隊」等待分到的單位來接你，在那之後，基本上當兵都會在那個地方，工作內容、生活起居、休假等到那時候才會知道，anyway, I will be good. 之後有機會再update之後的事吧。

Talk to The Old Friends
Guess it's since last week when I had 5 days off after 42-day military training that I started talking with some friends in US. Mostly talked to my host sister. I started looking for the photos and uploading to the on-line album so that my host family might be able to see how I was doing for the past 4 years. Spent most of the time uploading the photo albums and blogs and waiting for the responses.
Pretty much the same this weekend. First, checked on the MySpace, blogs, and emails to see whether any messages were from the old friends. Moreover, spent much time sorting my photos so that I could find them whenever I need them. While I was sorting the photos, Amber Lin, one old friend, sent me msn message. Very surprised and happy to talk with her on MSN, because it's been a long time since the last time we talk.
I feel that there are many people joining part of my life, when I am looking through the photos. Pretty miss them and the time we spend together, though I don't contact them for a while. Anyway, I hope they are all safe and doing well wherever they are and whatever they are doing. Time to move on and do what I should do. Wish to hear from you and see you again, my friends. Take care!

My Host Family
I copy this slideshow from the MySpace of my host sister, Stella. There are some family members and some I've never met before. Anyway, still enjoy seeing them again. After all, I don't see them for 4 years. Surprising to re-connect with them few days ago at MySpace, I upload more photos and write more about myself. Really miss them and would like to introduce to the friends in Taiwan. They are my family! ^^y
