Well, it is three in the morning now. I know, I should be in bed right now.

So, when Dad reads my blog, please don't be angry at me.

Well, I feel quite bad today. We had a meeting this evening. While we were talking about our research design for our thesis, we talked about the job I had. Then, my advisor got a little bit angry at me because she thought I had too much work, which means that I spent too much time and paid too much energy and attention on it rather than on my thesis.   

Well, I know she worries about me. She really wants me study harder and I can get my degree soon. And I know, teaching really takes my time sometimes but it is one of my favorite things to do daily. I do really love and enjoy teaching. Or you can say teaching is almost my whole life. I can't quit it.

Yet I still don't want to give it up. I will try my best to balance my work and my thesis writing. What I really need is not the money I make but the self-confidence, experience, most importantly, happiness I get from the work!! I don't know if she could get my point. 

After being 'blamed', I have been so down. Then, I studied for a while when I came from school. What I want to prove to her is that I can do both well.  

FIGHT, irene!!

Oh, by the way, dad. What I type today in English is not trying to keeping any secrets in it just because I am lazy to type in Chinese. English is easier for me right now ... This is just the way how I feel today!!
