For those of you who did not make it to this lively, wonderful festival (or just want to see it again), take a look! :-)

Some of these photos were used in the Le Provacateur.

Literally, a block party!!

Writing - a good way to let it out?

So. Here I am at the Assumption College; I'll be 22 years old in 3 days. Now that I have clear goals in my life and know the ultimate purpose of my life, I'm now a college freshman who is working hard to achieve them. The past 6 weeks have been difficult - all of a sudden moving from Canada, and I'm stuck in a dry dorm with a bunch of 18 year olds. It's even more difficult to compete with a rusty brain; I try my best to make up the difference with more efforts, and so far it seems to work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyway, I'm not a very good writer, let alone being a good communicator (hence I suck at essays). So, when I have great ideas or frustration in my mind, I tend to either confuse the audience (and myself) or close myself. Even at this moment I have so much to say, but I cannot express it well. I very much want to improve at this area, however. No matter how great my ideas are, if they're not communicated effectively, they're as good as nothing. No matter how frustrated I may be, if I cannot efficiently convey it to the source of frustration, there will be no resolution of conflict. No matter how much passion I have for the poor and the oppressed, if I cannot speak for them effectively, I will not be able to lend a voice to them. So, I hope that keeping a blog will help my writing to improve, along with the help of the academic support centre. Repetition makes it perfect, right?
