今天

早餐稍貴，但是吃得飽，因為起得晚，中餐就沒吃，晚餐吃了兩個麵包跟一個茶葉蛋。

早上 10 點多才起來，晚上應該可以 01:20 睡覺。

時間利用不錯，早上有利用時間聽英文。

在家練了一下啞鈴，早上聽了一點英文雜誌，沒唸日文。

沒唸 CS、Technique、課外書。

特別

今天去外交部領事事務局補交照片，然後去西門町晃了一下。喝到免費的飲料，還滿好喝的，可是我忘記它的名字了，沒辦法幫它打廣告 XD。

幸福

今天去社區大學聽課順利，老師有實力也很幽默(比較不尊敬的說法就是臉皮很厚、嘴巴很毒，可是又都很有道理，XD)。跟不同年齡層的人在一起真的很有趣，因為大家生活經驗都不同，各有不同的故事，常常會爆出一大堆的笑話。

對明天的期望

運動、唸書。

Reference: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/server-options.html Therefore, I added the following lines into /Applications/MAMP/conf/my.cnf [mysql] character-set-server=utf8 [client] character-set-server=utf8 [mysqld] character-set-server=utf8 collation-server=utf8_general_ci init-connect='SET NAMES utf8' I restarted the server and mysql run successfully with relevant variables being set correctly. In the "Variables" tab under phpMyAdmin interface (ex. http://localhost:8888/MAMP/?language=English) character set c...
