Changing season
Temperature is going down for the past couple of days. Summer is leaving, and autumn is coming. Semi don’t sound as loud as they did 2-3 weeks ago.
Summer has been fun, although I had a few stressful weeks. Barbecue, fireworks, picnic, nomikai, karaoke, get to know new people… all good 
I have deadline coming for the first draft of my dissertation, and my first defense presentation will be on October 11. Very nervous about it but there is nothing much I can do but trying my best. I still hold the idea to go on a short trip in November before my visa expires in January. But I should wait until I am done with the first defense presentation before finalize any decision about the trip.
I am about to begin a new chapter in my life. It is exciting and scary at the same time. Always wonder if I will do fine. It seems to me that everybody thinks I will do great, except myself. I need to be more confident, more optimistic… and surely can use alot of moral support. I am grateful that I have family and friends who provide me the support I need. I can not possibly thank them enough for that. I love you all
