Did I waste last week in “Babysitting” (Weekly Review)
The Beginning
I was out of school since last 2 weeks. And I began my TOEFL practicing plan at the beginning of the summer vacation. It seems it’s very hard to study at home, especially for me. Jennifer who is my mom in America suggested me to go to Boston Public Library (BPL) for study. I thought it was a really good idea before I compared BPL with Starbucks. Unfortunately, the first day of my plan was a national holiday. BPL was closed on that day. So I picked up my second choice which was going study in Starbucks.
BPL. VS. Starbucks I didn’t bring the most distractive thing which called PC with me. J I think it’s really a right choice. Some people work there, others study there. I like the feeling when I set in a good place with coffee and watch what happens outside. In fact, I didn’t buy coffee and enjoy what happen outside. I just read some books, TOEFL practice and reading. It really helps a lot.
The second day, I tried to study in BPL, I brought some lunch which was made by Jennifer with me. I went to BPL in the morning and planned to spend my whole afternoon there too. The fact really disappointed meL. When I study in BPL, I feel so cold and fall asleep easily because it’s very quiet. I can’t concentrate on my books either. The third day and the next several days, I always went to Starbucks and studied there.
Interrupt
I didn’t just read the articles about TOEFL, I read some other subjects which I am interested in. Most of the articles are come from several really good blogs. I like the writers and blogs very much. I began to think if I can make a good blog just like theirs. I saw an advertisement about blogs posted by Yahoo. Then I built my first blog, the second website in my life. Yahoo’s blog service looks kind sucks. I gave up Yahoo’s blog and went to Google’s Blogger. To be honest, Google is one of my favorite companies. I began to build blog with their simple completed templates. At first, the blog looks fine to me. But latter, I found I didn’t have a label cloud in my blog which is very important for readers and me. Then I began searching the solution. I couldn’t find the right solution during my research (Finally I found it’s easy to do it by myself, the label is the same as tag…). Then I made a huge decision that I delete all things I just edit and Upload a custom template which is much more beautiful than the official template.
However, I spend almost a whole day to do the research of the template, the other whole day to learn how to edit HTML. And I also spend a whole day to DIY my template and post some articles.
The other days
I spend a half day to pick up a domain. At first, I tried some free domains which are ahero.edu.tc, ahero.net.tc. Finally, I picked up www.infvalue.com which means infinite value as my domain. I thought “success, hero” would be my blog’s theme. But after I did some research, I found a quote from Einstein who is one of the most valuable people in the world: “Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.” This quote really shook my primary idea of great. I agree with him. Then I changed my theme into “value and valuable.”
The blog looks almost done. But it’s just the beginning of the battle. I spend lots of time to learn SEO, and how to make my blog become popular. I need to post new articles and some articles wrote by me every day.
The blog is now at the toughest time because no one knows my blog yet. And it’s like a new baby who needs lots of cares. If I give up, it means I waste my time in building the blog. If I keep doing it, it means I really made good use of time.
In the future, I will continue my blog battle while I am studying.

Be a valuable person, a kind of value in the world now! (The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.)
