I totally have no idea how the whole week could have slipped past me so quickly. It's been very busy. Lot's of running about and getting things done, but, the weird thing is, with as much as we have gotten done it still seems like there is more to do than we started with.

好像是过得极其快速的一周，奔忙于一些小事情之间，完成了一些，但好像又会源源不断的反复。

进入冬令时，过早的黑夜让人感到些许的压抑，若可以吃饱睡足，也是善待自己的一种良好方式。

之前的几日一直在下雨，白天的时间过得很快，多安排了一些琐碎的事情，其他一切照旧。

在过去的半个月里，去过不同的地方，拍了一些照片，找了其中的几张贴出来。

A few photos I have taken recently, and have been to different places in the past half-month.

要谢谢所有的人，在最近一段时间的关爱，转眼间，生活在这里已经一个月了。

I've been here for almost a month. I really appreciate everything you've done for me.

在午后，迎着阵阵寒风，步行去了附近的超市，买了食物，还有一盆玫瑰花，送给自己作为生日礼物。

又下了一整天的细雨，在充满暖气的房间里，捧着热牛奶，慢慢地读当天的报纸。
