Today is July 1st. It marks the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and the 29th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. I sincerely wish the great Party a happy birthday, wish Hong Kong continued brilliance, and wish our motherland ever greater prosperity!

Recently, I've been working hard on filling out my college application preferences. I've put a lot of effort into it. These past few days, aside from filling out applications, I've just been watching videos and haven't done much else.

This morning, my dad scolded me about my rhinitis and told me to get out and exercise more. But I haven't had the time lately, so I had to put him off for now. I need to get the applications sorted first, and then I have to practice for the driving test's written exam. Only after that will I have time to go hiking or something. But it doesn't stop there—I also have to prepare for the College English Test Band 4, read some books, find time to study the New Standard Japanese, work on many video projects, and write my blog. Sigh.

It's already been a month since the holiday started, but I feel like my body and mind haven't had a proper rest. Instead, there are even more things to do, and I have to be mindful of my family's reactions. It's a bit of a mess.

Back in high school, I thought everything would be fine after the college entrance exam. Now that summer break is here, I think things will be better when school starts (after all, some say you can only live authentically when you're far from home). Once school starts, I wonder what I'll be thinking then?

Life is just a constant hustle, isn't it?

Once again, may the Party flag fly forever, and may the bauhinia flower bloom eternally!
