I saw the blooming azaleas in CUHK in the last three years. In the spring in 2003, I went to CUHK with my packs of GRE prep notes and books, usually once a week. Seeing students taking graduation photos. I wanted to be like them too.

In the spring in 2004, I didn't get any PhD offer. Was still in Hong Kong struggling with so many things. Was working on the PhD applications again... Thinking, maybe I'm not suitable to do a PhD.

In the spring in 2005, I went to CUHK every Saturday to have acupuncture. It's the blossoms of azaleas again. My knees were bad but finally, I got PhD offers.

I spent endless hours in the CUHK canteens and libraries, working on my PhD applications and freelance. The school has been my haven since when I was small. My family is chaotic.

The library is the place to hide. Then explore. It's where I can have peace.

I took some photos at UF last Sunday on the way to my office. I also have lots of azaleas here. Will find the time to upload them here in the spring break next week.

Got to work on my writing first.
