Last week, I saw the news about the student in my university who quit her academics and decided to work as a public official. I was really shocked and thought about her decision. What am I going to do after finishing my college? I don't plan to study further and I would like to earn money by myself. Actually I've been thinking about preparing for the national exams. I want a stable and nice income as well as good benefits though I don't like a boring and stereotyped job. I want my future to be colorful but I still have to be down-to-earth. After all, I know I'm not the kind of people who can take any jobs.

Face Off
It's an old and classic film which starred John Travolta and Nicolas Cage. When I for the first time watched this movie, I was only ten. My dad loves actions and I used to watch lots of action movies with him. I remember I loved Face Off for its plot and the two main characters were so creative and appealing. I watched it again last night (byPPS). I still feel this movie is really good and it really intrigued me, making my eyes sticking on the screen. That kind of enjoying can be hardly aroused when I watch some other movies.

*Family-get-together
It's not unusual for Chinese to get together on Tomb-sweeping Day. I returned home during the holidays to hang out with old friends, sweep my grandmother's tomb and enjoy staying with my family. Americans have Thanksgiving; on this big day, they celebrate and most importantly they show their gratitude. They are grateful for what they have and forgive whoever once hurt them. Somehow I feel Tomb-sweeping Day is kind of like Thanksgiving. On this day, we get together with family, perform traditional rituals in order to show our respect to our ancestors and sometimes we retrospect to the old days which we can chat about with our family.

*Big news: the youngest public offical
These days, finding a job is getting harder than ever, no wonder there are a bunch of people who try so hard to get a position of public service, which assures stable income, social benefits and a better status nowadays. I was really shocked that one of the sophomores in my university passed the basic level exam of public service and she decided to quit her academics for she's already got a 28,000 per month job.
She said she didn't inform her family of the truth that she was going to prepare for the exam and quit her studies. The reason she wanted to pass the exam so early is that she wants to earn money by herself.
