Final Entry or First One?

Life is like a circle. You can never tell which is the end and which is the beginning.

During the past few months, things happened quite fast. From the first project--Boomz Cart, to second project--Chess Room, and finally the last one--WeiguanNet, every single struggling moment becomes worthy today. The biggest success is when I look back at what I have done, a smile comes to my face. What I have done may not significantly change the world. However, it makes sense to note that what I have done makes my world more beautiful.

HTML, Javascript, PHP, MySQL, Flash, Illustrator...Regardless of all those technical stuff I have learned, the most important lesson is how I come over so-called obstacles together with my teammates. I remembered the hardest time when I was doing the final project. Every time after we met or talked to Prof. Ben, there must be a sleepless night of discussing what was our next step. We changed and modified our project topic almost every week. Even when it was only two weeks away from the final project deadline, we decided to take a risk of modifying the whole structure of our website. After we made the decision, I was terribly  in fear that we could not finish the project. I sent sms to my teammates saying that I was very much anxious and worried. Immediately, I received reply encouraging me and steadied my nerves. As we believed, we finally made it. Now, I much appreciate the support from my dear teammates and I am much amazed at how far we can push ourselves.

However, I believe it is not the end yet. There are far more things to do after the deadline. WeiguanNet is not yet at the right time to launch. More steps need to be accomplished in order to maintain users. Anyway, the exciting Summer is coming! My dear teammates, let us make our next meeting in this hot temperature!

The next big thing can be us or not? :-P
