My current episodes of life (1)

August 30
Just when I got up at about 7:30 am, I got a telephone from Wu Qingfeng, my close male friend, telling me that I was given a chance to present an open class in the 2008 first seminar on Senior 3 English because of our Senior 3 group's excellent performance and great achievement in the 2008 national college entrance examination.

I was very excited and much more thrilled to hear the good news, but I was, meanwhile, very worried and even frightened to have so good a chance. And then I made a telephone to Ma Baodong to ask about some details of this seminar. After our communication, I felt a little fine and eased a little. So in the following period of days, I was glad and alos very worried, very excited and very upset and unrest full of anxiety. And I did not really know whether I was happy or not, and I was unrest or not. During those days, I was not a bit myself, and not knowing what to do next and how to deal with tomorrow. At about 12:30 pm, I received a sample courseware from Cao Yunqiang by emailing. After looking at his sample courseware, I felt taht I knew what to do next and felt that I was able to do it very well and was very confident in myself and the open class. In all, I really didn't know how I lived the bittersweet day: August 30, 2008!

Todayd I was feeling a little happy because my only daughter will begin her new school term year and also begin her junior middle school life from today. This morning, she went to Yucai middle school to have a little test of english and maths before she really entered her new class. In the afternoon, she went there again, waiting for her new enrollmetn of class. But they did not have any news, just waiting there for a long time until 7:00 pm. Not any teachers to go to tell them any thing, they had to go home separately.

This evening, my wife telephoned her ever colleague, her husband working in Yucai, to ask about the distributions of class, and told her that we wanted very much to have my lovely daughter studying in her husband's class. But to our disappointment, we received bad news that her husband couldn't help us and I and my wife felt very helpless and very sorry about that Because we did not have any ability to make my daughter study in better classes: class 9 and 10, junior 1.

So I telephoned Feng Ling in no time, hoping that my daughter could study in his class and he promised to have a try to help me. Then I thought that it was likely that my daughter would study in his class and also felt very glad. Because we knew very well each other even though we are not good friends, it is very convenient for me to be informed of study information of my daughter at any time, and I did really not have any other intention.

In the morning, Feng telephoned me that the head teacher of Class 3 did not want to exchange students, so he did not succeeded in helping me. But he still promised to have another try that afternoon, and I was very grateful to him even though we did not succeed.

In actual fact, I was and am very sorry that I did not make my daughter study in the so-said better class. And I felt much sadder and even a little depressed.

So we had to receive the reality that my daughter has to study in her current class: class 3. And we encouraged her to study hard and made her believer that it is not important in which class to attend but important to believe in herself and that she also would study very well in any class. And also we told her that her head teacher did not want to exchange her because of good test result. As I observed, she was not influence by this matter, so I was and am very glad and happy about it because I believe that she is growing up. So finally this matter ended without success.

In the following days, my daughter continued her military training before new school year really began. She was very tired, but also very pleased. After all, her new school life began.
