The morning of October 6, 2009

The sun finally shines over the gloomy clouds and sunlight falls on my skin at 7 am

after four days of freezing cold weather, i value the time with the sun while the wind softly blows through my hair

i walked toward the sun's direction to go to the place where i usually sit to do my homework before school starts

as i walk down the path, i saw a lucid circular object high in the sky

i lifted my head and stared at the almost circle

it was the moon, a moon after mid-autumn festival

when the time i realized that it was the moon, i suddenly found out that i was so busy this year

it has only been six weeks of school and i am already super tired and lost interest in other things

before, i enjoy weekends because i don't have to do anything except for watching drama

now, i don't mean that i don't like weekends because they are the only time that i don't have to run drastically

however, they were also the busiest time of my week because i had no choice but to do homework, go tutoring, and draw

unfortunately, this year's mid-autumn festival is on Saturday

on that day, i was exhausted after 8 hours of tutoring and craved for sleep

therefore, after the yummy dinner, i could do nothing but to force myself to stay focus on my homework

as a result, i lost the moon

i have experienced three mid-autumn festivals in America and they were all dull and trivial compared to the one in Hong Kong

however, i still had time to stare at the moon and appreciated its roundness for the last two years

this year, i totally forgot about the moon or i should say i didn't have time to care

the not so round moon symbolizes the progression of time

now, i want to see the round moon but it's already gone

time has passed and as a human, i can claim nothing back
