I haven’t sleep for the whole night, but now I am not tired.

I spend the whole night alone here writing articles, searching Internet and looking through mathematic books, accompanied by cups of coffee. The coffee tastes plain, but I understand I shouldn’t have more requirements.

Even though few things can really be done during the whole night, I find myself are fond of staying up, no matter in the dorm or outside. This is probably because of inheritance. Used to be a policeman, my father leaded an irregular life which later on had an influence on me more or less.

Although our parents insist that I should avoid staying up, I just can’t control myself sometimes. The most common situation is that I keep on watching movies, and then totally forget about time. My mother said I had the potential for being an artist. It seems that her prediction may never come true.
Actually I have been trying to regularize my living-clock for one year and it does work. I went out last night is partially because I have dozens of stuff to do and partially because I was in a depression.

I am planning to travel west at the end of the semester. Actually this plan has already come into being for half a year. The reason it didn’t come true last year was because I couldn’t find a travelling companion; however, this year when I posed the plan again, I came across the same problem.
Certainly I can go by myself—being a backpacker. I mean I’m not afraid of being alone; but I want to draw rein, for the money is from my parents, and I don’t want to spoil it. With a companion I can save a large sum of money.

However, the reality is disappointing. Why can’t I find someone who has the same interest with me? Qinghai Lake and Dun Huang have always appeared in my dream. I don’t wanna lose this golden opportunity.

Am I gonna quit my plan?
