Assignment 9:New Year Reflections and Hopes

This year is a very important year for me because I was senior in high school and would be a freshman in university since July. This is a big change for me.
In February, I took a big test that would decide which college I would go. I was confident about going to NTU. Because of that, I was very sad when I knew I didn't get in.
But one slang said:" When one door was closed, the other will be opened.".In May, I get a permission to go to NTUST.
In September, I began my freshman life. Because I stayed in girl school for six years and now I just in a school where boys is more than girl, I had a little bit couldn't be used to it. But I open my mind and try to make some friends and I found some interesting differences between boys and girls. I also opened my eyes to this strange but prosperous city by visiting many places.
Now, 2009 will pass soon. I remember every thing happened in this year. I am in a good university that everyone said so, I make a group of good friends that almost like a family, I also learn how to live by myself. Some friends from high school said that I'm look more confidant and joyful. That's the gift I got this year by changing and, I think, some luck.
2010 is coming, I still have lots of things I want to do. In addition to pass all the subjects, I also want to be USA exchanging student. I always want to study abroad. I also hope to meet my Mr.R.
Hope everyone's wishes will come true.
