It’s 3 o’clock now, and I just have submitted my first abstract on the website of the 49th annual meeting of the Taiwanese Psychological Association.

Next goal is to post my poster about the development of self-injury questionnaire. Fighting!

Last night, I went to bed at 4 in the morning but could not fall asleep, because I kept thinking my scale and I found there were lots of things to be worried about psychometric properties and validity data. I was so anxious that I got up, turned on my computer and started to write the abstract. When the job was finished, it was almost thirty pass ten.

I am so tired now due to the lack of sleep.

This is the first week of new semester. Next week will be the third and last time to choose the course. As I said before, I would take 12 credits in this semester. The least credits I have ever taken since entering the graduation. Sometimes, I would think if I should take more courses to improve my competence as a clinical psychologist. But I also know that there would be a lot of things to be done in this semester, including writing the article and preparing the TOFEL. That means lots of time will be cost for get these things done. Maybe 12 credits may be enough for me.

Actually, I do not know what I am supposed to do. Maybe finally I would take one more course. I said maybe.

I have tried to write something on my blog every, but I did not do so last two days.

The main reason for that is for the analysis of my data.

On the first night of this semester, I even discussed that with my advisor till the 3 o’clock in the morning!!! What a terrible beginning!

On the next night, I kept analyzing the data and, sadly, the result was not consistent with my expectation. I was freaked out.

Fortunately, my advisor, who was supposed to be in Taichung tonight, called me and my classmate to discuss with her. In the discussion, the topic that I will represent at the upcoming annual conference held by Taiwanese Psychological Association in Chiayi was decided.

Actually, I am looking forward to presenting in this conference as a graduate student of my school, because I had been to the same academic conference on my last year of college and hoped I could do the same thing one day. Obviously, my dream will come true!!

The new semester will start tomorrow. Although I know I am no supposed to say this, however I really hate to face all the upcoming busy life. Hope everything will be fine.

I take 12 credits in this semester, but I would probably take another 3-credit course about multi-variance analysis, if the class timetable conflict problem could be solved.

But even I will take 15 credits finally, this semester will still be the one that I take the least credits ever. But that is ok, because I need some additional time to write my article about the development of negative self-focused thinking/rumination questionnaire. I hope that article will be submitted in this semester. Fighting!

There are many international students living in the Prince dormitory of NCKU. Tonight when waiting for the elevator, I saw a tall and young black man with a female Taiwanese. The female was at around age 30 and wore to much makeup on her sagging skin. She seemed to be happy to go inside the male dormitory with a young black man. She even said, “Screw you.” to the black man in the elevator, I thought she meant she was going to SCREW the black man tonight.

Sometimes girls would go to the male dormitory, and vice versa. Every now and then, I would wonder what kind of manner the one should have when going to opposite-sexed dormitory. No matter what it would be, laughing like a slut is not one of them.

Today was quite a ordinary day. If there was anything special, it had to be going to the Line travel agency(雄獅旅行社) for applying my passport. Without a passport, I can not sign in the TOFET. However, I thought I still have to study harder because the time for preparation is limited and Leiden university has a high english standard. Hence, if I would like to participate to the exchange student program of Leiden university, I have to study harder. I believe I can make it!
