My life on campus is both challenging and colorful. I naturally devote most of my weekdays to courses, both compulsory and optional. As the academic requirements demand that I must spend all my weekday evenings in the library reading reference books and drafting papers, I think it is worthwhile to stay up late to come up with original ideas for my papers. This makes me a late riser. I exercise every afternoon so that I can keep fit. Such a pace will, I believe, prepare me to finish my university study.
