good bye 2011, and hello 2012

Due to the exams at the beginning of 2012, I haven’t finished this post until now.

It’s hard to image that the “fleeting” 2011 has passed with such a fast step. In fact, I began to rethink what I had done since I came to university, I always found that I had wasted so much time and fortunately catch some opportunities as well in 2011.

60 percent of the time in 2011 is my life as a freshman in university.

In the aspect of study, the result in 2011 was not bad. Most important GPA was not that high albeit not too low. When it comes to my university, which is not so famous in the world, I have to acquire high GPA and should, but failed. Working harder doesn’t mean getting more, and to me, none with none work, though some “clever” people got not low GPA with some “tricks” (in my eyes) and cheating during the exam. Giving the opportunity, I won’t cheat at least not plan to cheat I think. And sadly, (as I know in the beginning of 2011), I hadn’t finish the task of finishing GRE test. I haven’t finish reciting the words required yet. :-( Hopefully I can enjoy the excitement of passing GRE test in 2012.

The other part of life is certainly the relationship with others. The largest students league the Radio Station (广播台) gave me the the sight of a concept of company management. Hadn’t I ever image how a large league hand out the tasks to many people and ensure the finish of them until I peeped the working process of the league. Moreover, I make friends with some cool guys in it, whom I learnt from a lot and gain experience a lot. Interestingly, I attained another league 1010 Computer Association, in which I was not a unimportant member as I was in the Radio Station (thanks to my ability of technology compared with others’). I met some other friends who have excellent abilities.

It’s worth saying that I began the first independent project with some schoolmates. “YeeYee.net”, a website that helps students in the same school exchange their useless things etc. We formed the idea on 21st, July, 2011, with the faith that “life is short and life should be meaningful”.

And I didn’t realize I had stayed at the new school for one year until August.

Then fleeting time came to September. 40 percent of 2011 I was a sophomore.

I was accustomed to plan for many things and ways in front a new milestone or sometime similar. I heard that the second year in university should be very busy. But I got to know that it’s not exactly “true”. An important improvement on myself was that I attempted to tell myself that “It lasts not truly long, I can go through just after standing it for a while.” once I am facing hard or long or terrible difficulties.

Study in mathematics and computer science was unexpectedly difficult, especially computer science. It’s amazing that I still kept the curiosity and interest in mathematics, though my intelligence seemed to be not adequate now. It’s worthy of saying that I knew a little of the “potential” of my ability. The week before the deadline of the exam, I spent two days in library and almost every available afternoon and night for study. So I study from the beginning to the end of a course. After that terrible week, I think that if EVERY week of my life is so efficient, I must act as a genius. Though sadly, GPA seems to be much lower than that in the first year. I MUST study harder next term and later years.

Another change caused by “sophomore” or “growth” is that I am called “senior brother-in-learning” now. I am not quite used to it actually. And I became a “deputy minister” in the league 1010 Computer Association till now. To my pleasure, I got to know many beautiful junior sisters-in-learning now. :-) Though I haven’t met any girlfriend yet. :-( Maybe I should pray for it……

Projects are still so many. Thanks to “YeeYee.net”, I met some talent junior brothers-in-learning. And some related ideas about websites or even potential ways to change the world remain to be realized in 2012 or even later, years or decades.

All in all, life always plays jokes on me, and I have to fight. Life is an endless fight with the fate. 2011 has passed, with lots of my regrets, and 2012 is here, regardless of my willingness or any thoughts.I believe that one day in the future, I will discover with pleasure that all paths I will have gone through will bring me an extremely amazing destination, when I see back my steps.

自从在细路处习得用Gtalk机器人挂推以来，开机启动项里就有了Gtalk的身影，久年失修的Gmail账号终于有了用武之地。都说Gmail是打开Google服务的钥匙，于是Gmail一用，GoogleReader也来了，Google+也来了。作为一个接触了互联网就用百度，接触了Google就果断甩了百度，用百度的时候就是百科（不忍心再喷了，纵然内容有抄wiki，毕竟也有不少网友的原创心血，跟百度一点关系都没有）和Google搜不到正版音乐的时候的屁网民，我总想使用优秀的国外服务（优秀是比较出来的，不是媚外）。可惜因为某些你懂的原因，那是不可能的。于是，无奈用听说开得比较早的新浪微博。本来嘛，新浪是上市公司，不少名人博客在上面，微博我也用得挺爽（那是当然，第一次接触这类新的社交网站），已经慢慢淡忘了那个f什么和t什么了。

今天又没有复习。看了一整天小说。
我在找死，距离期末考还有四天，N科没有预习的情况下还敢沉溺于网上的风花雪月。
可是我的理智残忍地说，“没错我在看小说我在找死有种谁来一枪崩了我的脑袋我做鬼也会感谢你的噢我不会上天堂所以不能保佑你了。”

此间少年与似水流年

在Layla的大力推荐之下，起了读《此间的少年》的念头，事实上这篇读后随笔的题目也是抄袭Layla的电影观后感的。在预订的书邮寄过来前，我用了一个下午的时间在网上把它读完。
我不知道应该怎样评价这本书，正如我不知道该怎样评价我的大学生活。

after 2011 Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami

Posted on by

A massive 8.9 magnitude earthquake hit the Pacific Ocean nearby Northeastern Japan at around 2:46pm on March 11 (JST) causing damage with blackouts, fire and tsunami. Some useful information is provided by Google Japan.

Sad. So serious. As a Chinese, I still remember Wenchuan Earthquake, during the time cities were in ruins. But this one is unexpectedly even more serious and rarer. Even Japan, in which people are accustomed to and always get ready for earthquake, still suffer so much. Many people died. And scenes showed in videos from Japan about earthquake and tsunami are more horrible and more shocking. Hope most of them who affected or trapped survive in the end.

Not only am I talking about the earthquake, but I am also talking about people, majorly Chinese and Japanese. Some differences of the reactions between Chinese and Japanese after catastrophes are worthy of deep thinking.

1. Japanese try to be cold, and in order. Most of them maintain order. The society keep on running functionally. All telephone booths become free. Several shops provide free food and water. However, there is almost no abuse of public resources. (Sadly, the contrary doings were and are found during catastrophes in China. ) Though it’s because the epicenter is in the sea, instead of on the land, we should study to stay cold anyway.

Calm and perseverance while facing the enormous tragedy , are the most precious wealth of civilization.
—- a comment from a newspaper

2. Help from the world is touching. Red Cross, teams and donations around the world and so on are telling us the precious spirit of lending a helping hand.

Life should be treated regardless of country in front of catastrophes.

3. A “healthy” attitude is significant. Some Chinese (not so many, but I do hear some people’s sayings) think that Japanese “deserve” to it. Considering the history between China and Japan, it’s no strange that they think in that way, and I’m not going to comment the history. However, I agree it an “unhealthy and abnormal” thought. During Wenchuan Earthquake and some catastrophes in China, Japan did send some teams to help China.

If Chinese want to “beat” Japanese, we should work harder more on economy and science.

In the end, I wish everyone can enjoy a peaceful life. No more people died from catastrophes.

when my dreams are being realized by others

Dear readers, have you discovered that there are always some people, who seem to be a little luckier than you, realize your dream before you do that, and finish your project ahead of you?
I didn’t believe it once upon a time. However, I believe I’ve actually met one after I entered the university.

He seems to be working hard, in my eyes, which I have to admit unwillingly. And it is unbearable that he reach so many targets I set at the first time I come to university. He entered the League Group, but I failed; he met many schoolmates, when I want but I couldn’t do it well; he made girl friends, yes, not only one, and quickly, while I am still single; I wanted to become a member of the “base class” , but he succeed without any preparation; I want to recite the vocabulary of GRE, and he is following step by step……
I can’t help making the list.

To be honest, I admit, I am feeling envious to him. Especially when my dream is realized by him, or others.

But why? In fact, one of my good friends is always ahead of me, but I never feel envious to my friend. I feel happy about his success, and cheer for him. I just think my friend is deserved to achieve the success.
On the contrary, I will never think the one, I hate and is talking about here, is deserved to his success. Maybe sometimes I could not control myself, and debate or argue with him, when we disagree with each other. I prevent to have a quarrel with him. Always I try my best to be self-control and analyse his words objectively, and always he can’t convince me indeed.
So, I don’t think he should realize my dream.

Now I tell myself:
When my dreams are being realized by others, I should not complain. What I must do is to calm myself down, and achieve the goal and realize the dream, leaving the opponents far far away.

Why so serious?

Why so serious?

The sentence is showed on my phone when it’s powered on. It reminds me that it is unnecessary to be serious while facing difficulties.

When I get older, I become more and more serious on so many many things. I am impatient, serious, afraid of the bad result, if any, and the future, while waiting for the result, while be eager for the answer, while don’t know what is waiting for me in the front.

Obviously I am not brave enough now.

In fact, why so serious? It does’t quite matter even when I’m in the lowest point of my life: the hope disappears only if I have died. When i get lose, I can win next time. And so many “important” things are proved unimportant later, if it’s not the precious experiences which tell me not to be so serious.

So, I should be braver from now on. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. Don’t be serious, and be confident of what I have done and what’s waiting for me.

Another Unpleasant Saturday

On this Saturday, I was asked to go out for “entertainment”. To be punctual, I had to wake up as early as I did on weekdays, at half past six. It was a depressing fact that I lost a rare evening when I could sleep late. After taking a small piece of cake, I, teaming up with 5 members, started our 12-hour trip, during which I spent most of time on my bike. Coldness and strong wind were the main stream of the city at this time. It was only half an hour before I felt my hands and feet had already got frozen even though I had put on my woolen gloves. Then, three quarters later, we arrived at our destination, where participants from various universities had decided to get together. Only when I stopped my bike did I realize the essence of the trip—to appeal people to reject eating cats and dogs. Although it turned out that it was not a trip for entertainment, I was still a bit excited and interested in it, which might refresh most passers-by’s mind and raise public awareness of protecting animals. Standing a small flag printed an “X” on a picture of a cat and a dog on each bike, we, totally about 50 members, all carried strong enthusiasm and warm smiles despite of the great coldness.

After a short lunch, we came to a specific street for pedestrians but, unexpectedly, my enthusiasm started to get cool. We parked our bikes before we brought up various boards and banners walking back and forth. During the activity, I hated that the leader, who seemed to sponsor the activity, always commanded others to do this and do that. And we would even be scolded when we did something wrong. I admitted that I sometimes ate fish, chicken, pork and so on, but I felt quite illogical that she, the leader, explained to the public that now that we have eaten so many kinds of animals such as pig, fish, sheep and so on, that we should not eat dogs and cats additionally. In her words, the lives of all animals tamed by human beings seemed to be of no value except for cats and dogs as if we could killed them whenever we liked. What was much more unreasonable was that some leaflets we gave out were printed “Don’t do to others what you don’t want to be done to yourself”, but she always forced her cats and dogs she brought with her to face and to be teased by others, especially ladies and girls, just because of their cure look and smooth wool. It reminded me of a piece of news. As was known to all, koalas had to spend a lot of time in sleeping. However, popular love for their cute look led to their frequent disturbing by people, which made them ill. Did all the animals like to close to strangers? No! Like human beings, they also had various personalities. If the introverts were force to cater to others, how would they feel? It might be as terrible as they had ever felt. And it was the same to animals. They had their emotions, loves and hates. So, I didn’t think she actually love her cats and dogs. In my opinion, those who truly loved animals always offered adequate respect to animals’ habit and personality. At that time, I really hoped to leave and go back. But undoubtedly, the activity was meaningful. So I insisted staying there until the last minute of the activity came. I left alone, for they decided to go for entertainment while I didn’t want to participate in.

The greatest challenge I had ever met came. Cold, tired, sleepy, thirsty and hungry, I rode continuously for no less than one and half an hours, worrying whether I could successfully return to my university at such a dark night because I just had a weak impression of the route. Now, I really can’t imagine how I could keep on my way at that time. To be honest, at the moment when I reached my university at about half past seven, my legs were totally exhausted and hardly could I walk as a normal man did. Despite of my terrible condition, I felt a sense of accomplishment because I hadn’t given in confronting the great difficulty. But what was quite strange was that I didn’t feel a sense of happiness but a peaceful mood.

Thinking back my experience, I really can’t figure out whether it was worthwhile to spend such a day.
