The reason why I need a bit more time to render my video: 

I went to New Jersey From Friday to Sunday. Back here at Sunday late night without rendering anything out......and it took more time than I thought.

(Gone for my cousins wedding)

rnrcaitheknot.com  is the website of my cousin's wedding.

And also, the reason why I did not finish rendering my video before noon and waste time at clinic :

    I burned my hand because I poured boiled water on my hand by accident when making tea. (On Monday morning 9 o'clock after my guests, who stayed at my apartment overnight, had left and I came to studio)

   I keep my hand in cold water for hours but still hurt a lot and it's hard to use computer for one hand. I went to clinic on campus and the lady at the desk said I didn't turn in the form, I shouldn't be able to enroll, why there's no record.....and blablabla I didn't brought my insurance card and she want me to do it right now.....anyway, at last I asked her can I get my hand fix first, she grab my form back and said "Okay, go sit and wait them call you!" Well, my hand really hurts and I never forgot to paid the clinic fee every semester.....The TB shot record in her computer sounds more important for her.

   I didn't get ANY email or any information from Pratt that request me to turn in any health check form before I came to Pratt. I got to know this when I twisted my wrist in midterm and I went to the clinic on campus last year. They found I have no record, and asked me to turn in a form. I remember that I asked her when should I turn in the form, she said whenever I am done. I did go to see my family doctor, and she said the only shot (they marked and request me to take on the form) I haven't done, is not necessary. No one in NY are doing this nowadays. So, my form is not complete.

CHAPTER 2

INFLUENCES

Subsection

My relationship to plants begin in childhood. From the earliest age I can  remember, I played in the small garden on the balcony of my apartment in Taipei city. My grandfather also had a garden at his house in the countryside. He loved to take care of plants. Both my father and I inherited my grandfather’s passion for plants. Such a variety of plants in the house taught me how to care for different species of plants. I still love to keep plants and observe how they look every day. When I look at all of my lush green plants, I feel relaxed. To me, plants are part of my life. These plants feels like friends.

After I graduated from college, I came to New York City to earn my masters degree. I currently live with three roommates in a nice apartment where lots of sunshine comes in through big windows. My roommates and I all bought plenty of potted plants. Unfortunately,  none of the plants that my roommates bought lived for long. My roommates didn’t know how to properly care for their plants and they thought it would be easy. Once the plants began to look sick and dead, they threw them out. I did give them some suggestion when I saw they were not treating their plants well. But they didn’t care. I also found lots of potted plants thrown out on the street. I felt sad when I realized their  negligence towards plants.
