I bought a very nice green-colored notebook as my word list few months back. Tragically, as shown in the picture, only a couple of words were recorded on it.
But at least one word today is hilarious, I even thought there might be some relationship with Hillary before I checked the word:D.

Sleepless last night. And that caused me headache this morning. No appetite for lunch so I just had a cup of iced coffee instead. Then some staff came by my office and started to do the entire cleaning of the year, which made a lot of dust, together with the noise. I was so annoyed, regretting that I should have stayed at home today. So I took my kindle and my word list booklet with me to a quite corner to peace my mind. Yeap, that really works. I am reading the popular frction Life of Pi right now. I do think that it is easy to read since you watched the film and the paragraphs are not absurd. Besides, I have some French basic which makes the reading more interesting to me. And I do wanna share a paragraph here.
The reason death sticks so closely to life isn't biological necessity-it's envy. Lift is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can. But life leaps over oblivion lightly, losing only a thing or two of no importance, and gloom is but the passing shadow of a cloud.
When I was writing my paper just now, I suddenly found out that I could not spell the word "convenience" without the auto-correction function in Microsoft word. And this really makes me a little bit frustrated that I may not be able to spell some other similar words as well now. This may also mean that my English ability, at least writing, becomes worse. Try to pay attention to these before I systematically (see, another word that I could not spell by myself) review the IELTS test.
My word of the Day

Sometimes when life comes to a turning point, it always comes up with some inner pressure. And it seems that I'm experiencing this but haven't found the way out. Terrible week for me.
Happy CNY.
