Composition
Yesterday, I got up 5 o' clock to pack my packages and held two large luggages to take the high-speed rail. The train stopped in Xiamen at 13:00. While I need to take another train at 14:00 to Jingxian. Because of the heavy rain in Jiangxi province and Anhui province, the train ?arrived at Jingxian at 20: 30, which was later 30 minutes than the original schedule. I spent almost 16 hours on the train. I did not feel exhausted yesterday. But today I was really tired to do nothing. I just wanted to lie on the couch or the bed to have a rest. It is no big deal if I did not read the story and write this diary today. Because I do have an excellent excuse for it. Besides I had a cold today. But I thought it is an excuse for myself. Although I was tired, 30 minutes was enough for me to finish today's reading. So I did it.
Sometimes, I use the phrasal " insist on " to encourage myself to step forward. Of course, I love to read and write, I should have do it habitually. But I need to insist on overcoming the bad condition. I want to have a change from pure interest to a habit.?
