Feeling good

Once again, I woke up quite early. Still, I tuned in NPR for a morning radio shower. Good thing is, with these days' such kind of intensive English input, I kind of have a better "feel" of English. It is a good feeling, of course. Similar to that I had last year when I finished that nearly two-month home stay in an American family due to my internship then.

The effect? I guess it showed right away. I mean today. This afternoon, we had a kind of video screening meeting among us CommDevers. The preview was for selecting the final films to be shown in late October at our first ever CommDev Film Festival (well, its scale is hardly that festival-type, yet we haven't come up with a right name so far) organized by the Communication and Development Association (CDA) in which I take up the role of vice president. Since our president was out of town for personal emergency this afternoon, I then took the role of presiding over the event. I felt quite nice with the whole process that was quite smooth, including my use of English. It's not that I don't have chance to use English at other daily times or activites, yet I would more like to regard this afternoon's meeting as a confidence resurge touchstone for using English appropriately, naturally and smoothly at whatever occasions. I can't say I have achieved that, but I'm feeling good to make that happen in the near future.

Mmm, many thanks to NPR, to my Creative player, to this blog, and to you. :)

Yeah, another good-feeling thing to thank you, hon. This morning's over-the-phone CD buying spree was quite successful and exciting. I hope that will also bring a rich treasurehouse for your musical enjoyment, at least for the two months. ^_^

Good to see stories like this! I'm proud of you. :)

I kind of had the same feeling on Friday when working in the HK office. Most of the day, I was using English, and I found myself thinking and murmuring in English too later on. But it's just one day...I'll return to my Chinese world.

NPR was my favorite and must-do program every day....Keep it for me. :)
