When I get to know that I
am going to live in a collective environment again in Iceland, I expect more
changes can happen on me, not only in environmental consciousness and
personality development, but also in getting myself back to a healthier
lifestyle.
I am really proud of
becoming an early bird. I have a very bad sleeping habit since college. Since
the class time is much more flexible in college than in high school, I loss a
control of my daily schedule. I hardly sleep before 12 o’clock, and skip early
classes frequently. During midterms or finals, it gets worse. Sometimes I can
feel my body is really exhausting and not functioning well, but I just sleep
more than ten hours a day on weekends and think I am recharged. I almost never
have time to eat breakfast, even though my mom keeps telling me how important
breakfast is. Therefore, compare with the sleeping habit back in America, I am
really cheerful to see that I can sleep around 12 and get up at 8 and have
breakfast on weekdays. I can imagine how surprised my parents would be by hearing
about my current lifestyle. I also feel so good about having a good sleeping
habit.
Thanks to weekly field
trip and weekend hiking, it really pushes me out of my room from chatting and
checking my friends on the internet. I used to hate climbing mountains. Sometimes,
I would also challenge myself to walk to the peak instead of taking cable cars,
but I never have the victory feeling when I reach the mountaintop. I regret making
such a stupid decision. However, this time is my hardest climbing experience,
because there is no real road to the peak. Every time I felt we reached the
peak, the group still kept climbing to higher part of the mountaintop. Almost an
hour later, we saw the destination. When we walk to the top hand in hand and saw
the landscape, it my first time to have such a overwhelming victory feeling.
I love Solheimar—the eco-village
we live now. I love the peace, gentle pace of loving, and close relationship
with people. I think I can spend more time on reading books, knitting, and participating
in various workshops. I would like to become a knitting master or pottery master
by the end of this semester. I like the group environment I am in now. Thank
all my supportive classmates!
