Life in Plymouth - Accomodation

She tried to save every single pence, decided to choose a cheaper accommodation. Supposedly tried to get a place less than 80pounds per week, she failed to apply it. She finally got a standard room in Robbins Hall for roughly 87pounds per week.

There is 4 choices of university attached accommodations - Gilwell, Pilgrim, Robbins and Radnor. She loves Gilwell, but failed to get it. It was still fine for her, as long as she got a room to stay in.

Her room is T604, the sixth floor of the hall. She got to climb 3 floors everyday, and thankful she had a guy helped her carry 30kg luggage up to her room. It was tiring to carry luggage up, no doubt.

A standard room attached with a single bed, a wardrobe, a study table, a heater, a table lamp, a basin, a lamb table and a rack. She has 4 flat mates, sharing bathroom, washroom and kitchen. There is a laundry service on the other block, which has to put in coin for washing.

Her flat mates, none of them are Asian, are from local, Germany, Denmark, and Sri Lanka (she migrated to UK 3 years ago). They are still friendly and nice, and hoping she has more topics to chat with them.

Robbins Hall located opposite University of Plymouth, in Gibbon Street PL4 8BZ. A 5-10min walking distance to the university and Drake Circus Shopping Mall.

Recently learnt about emotion triangle, it said human tends to suppress core emotion, and manifested as either a defense or inhibitory emotion. The emotion that we tends to inhibit are shame, guilt ... There are fear and inferiority that governs my heart - I have to learn to address and admit my feelings better, and make a decision to communicate or set a boundary. It is hard to actually do so, and I know after I have done it - I can sense my guilt and shame. It is like a vicious cycle.  I have to make a promise to myself - be mindful, be steady and let my head clears. Don't react much...But at the same times I am glad that I did say something. I did express myself. I did feeling less intense. I treated it as a progress.  Anyway I felt sorry of the people that I hurt - when I am still a human with sin...

Full stop is not a Stop

My study has come to the full stop. After the submission of my final year project, I thought I will be delighted, yet I wasn't. I was apathetic. No more motivation to complete it, I already forgotten my achievement goals, I have given up. During the phase of life, I felt Life is just ain't about perfection. Imperfection in life is the essence of our growth. In order to grow, old proverb saying "no pain, no gain", it indeed applies to everyone of us. Being through thick and thin, sweat and tears, I started to realise that adaptation to sudden change is incredibly important. For instance, we have a goal to get a First Class Honour in our degree program, but our result speaks no to us. Is it show that we are stupid? Nope, it only tells us that it is a piece of paper which might granted us to obtain better job, yet which class you get is not the guarantee to get a better job. The end of college life, is the start of _______ life. People will fill in the blank themselves....
当你爱的人伤害自己 心痛的是爱你的那个人 就好像眼睁睁的看着爱的人走向火堆 再怎样的担忧爱的人还是继续走向 爱的人和爱你的人都各自有主见 但那个方式才是对才是错 跟着爱的人的方式 明明就觉得危险但还需要装作不危险 还是要告诉爱的人危险但爱的人不想知道危险 这就是困难之处 难道真的不做任何努力挽救? 就这样默默让爱的人要怎样就怎样? 理不清对错 爱中不讲理 爱只所以强大是因为真的很难
