About Myself

Hi, everyone! Welcome to my blog. Let me make a short introduction to myself. I’m a boy aged 18. I come from a small village in South China. Though it is small, it is very beautiful. It lies by a small river. The air is fresh and the water is so clear that you can see lots of fish swimming in the river. There’re many rice fields around. So it is known as the “land of rice and fish”.

Now, I’m studying computer science at South China Vocational College. I wish to become a computer engineer after graduation. I like my college life. It’s so different from life in the high school. After class you are all on your own. There’s nobody to tell you what to do. So you need to plan your time well so that you don’t waste it. All my classmates study hard, for we know that “Time and tide wait for no man”. We must make good use of the time to learn more.

I have an active attitude towards life. There are many things I’d like to do, to see, and to experience. I like to read; I like to write. I like to think; I like to dream. I like flowers in spring, rain in summer, leaves in autumn, and snow in winter. I like the skyscrapers in big cities; I like the green fields in the country. I like good books and romantic movies. I like delicious food and comfortable shoes…But I spend most of my spare time surfing the Internet to search for useful information. I also spend time writing and updating my blog. It’s like my second home, my dreamland.
