    For me, the long term project and the storytelling project are impressed me. I feel excited to create and finish them. Besides, this is my first time to try a "real" online course (cause last semester every student took online courses since COVID-19), so I feel interesting about all stuff in this class. Lots of short or middle tasks are full of every week which is not similar to other courses. But I think I prepare to face the challenge. In extra credit options, the microfiction grabs my attention. Maybe I would try to write some funny stories through this semester.

In the eyes of the general public and Bodhisattvas, he cleared away his sin during this process. However, what is his sin? Who defines that? The lord of heaven thought he was an impish monkey, and he defined his sin. In the beginning, he does not recognize his sin, until he was suppressed by the Buddha. Then, five hundred years passed, the Lord told him that protect Tang Monk would clean his sin. He cannot deny but obey.

His wildness and instinct make him eat everything w...
