    第一次看牙

    主要是右边上下两颗智齿这两年来时不时地疼几下,就去看牙了。还好俺没蛀牙,而且照片看上去一颗一颗的排得很整齐,偷偷乐一下。所以主要是cleaning牙垢这次,下次deep cleaning希望不要太疼,这样就能一次性把智齿也拔了。

    人,真不容易

    周四周五在纽约看学校,今天陪着猪头同学又去了一趟Metropolitan,晚上回来终于是难得的清闲了,结果收到这学期一门课老师一封炸弹性的email,猪头帮我一起忙了半天终于搞定了,希望不会再给我找麻烦(老天保佑吧)。突然觉得人在江湖飘,大事小事,千千万万都要谨慎小心,稍一疏忽就可能铸成大错了,尤其碰上比较爱找碴的人。于是想起前一段时间mitbbs上面的一片帖子说女生要读phd就是bt什么的,虽然不苟同吧,但是也不能说完全是错。
    还有今天在flushing剪完头发回来的路上,猪头盯着我看了半天然后说出一句让我特震惊的话:“仔细看你,长得还挺丑的”。之前还说我是“大饼脸”“笑起来像黄鼠狼”。虽然我也常说他胖,没有腰,还有笨,但这些不是事实就是带有可爱的含义。
    搞得晚上三点还是睡不着。唉,希望不要想王袭凤一样最后四面楚歌,到头来万事皆空。

    来点儿成功学教育——如何提升自我地位

    Title: Helping One's Way to the Top: Self-Monitors Achieve Status by Helping Others and Knowing Who Helps Whom
    Source: JPSP, 2006
    Abstract: The authors argue that high self-monitors may be more sensitive to the status implications of social exchange and more effective in managing their exchange relations to elicit conferrals of status than low self-monitors. In a series of studies, they found that high self-monitors were more accurate in perceiving the status dynamics involved both in a set of fictitious exchange relations and in real relationships involving other members of their social group. Further, high self-monitors elevated their social status among their peers by establishing a reputation as a generous exchange partner. Specifically, they were more likely than low self-monitors to be sought out for help and to refrain from asking others for help. This behavior provides one explanation for why high self-monitors acquire elevated status among their peers?they are more attuned to status dynamics in exchange relations and adapt their behavior in ways that elicit status.

    今天被老妈"训话"了

    老妈说:你现在挺好的了,以后就顺其自然吧,学成啥样是啥样,不用要求太高了
    把这话告诉猪头,他很同意。然后又接着跟我"训话":你轻松一点可能结果更好
    可能吧,虽然有人说性格决定命运,但是命运还是挺难预测的

    Vancouver 两天

    猪头和俺最大的感触是:NOT cost-efficient at all!
    上周花了一个上午拿到加拿大签证,使馆的工作效率啊,不说啥了
    主要去拜访老爸在那儿的一个生意伙伴+朋友,呵呵,个中关系不便细说,只要uncle uncle得叫就好了
    去了著名的Capilano suspension bridge,最初知道这个桥还是因为一个著名的心理学实验(about sexual attraction)就是在这儿做的,很有意思,参见Dutton & Aron (1974, JPSP)。都怪俺当时脑袋滑丝相机没电,照片回头再贴。还记得有一张摄影作品是360度拍这个桥的,就是这会儿找不到了。也是这张照片导致我对吊桥的期望有些过高了
    然后去看了grouse mountain(天气不好没坐成缆车真遗憾啊)下面一个大坝和一个政府修建的帮助salmon hatch的地方
    然后去吃了king crab(特恐怖),lobster等等海鲜
    晚上在旅馆里面给学生计算final grade
    今天上午去Stanley park(啥都没有)和UBC(啥都没有),然后去叙香园又吃了一顿螃蟹(见识了华人聚餐大场面)
    然后回Seattle,在custom长长的车队里面等了两个小时,我一直唠叨快把猪头烦死了
    过了custom换司机,俺第一次上I5一直开回家了,到家快累死了,睡了两觉
    晚上终于把学生的grade算完了
    开始洗衣服……

    snoqualmie

    本season最后一次滑雪跟猪头一起去的。这家伙一开始还一脸郁闷跟要去上刑似的,后来熟练多了终于开始多云转晴了
    可惜Gallery没开,所以在绿道上滑了个够
    冬天要办一个seasonal pass,买一套装备。可惜纽约的雪场凑合的就得开好几个钟头,哪里像西雅图一个小时就到了,555。可惜了过去的两年没好好利用这个资源

    怎么出去玩也这么麻烦

    1. 签证去Vancouver
    2. 惦记着本周滑雪把最后一次票用掉
    3. 赶紧定campsite的票
    4. 西雅图-->LA
    5. LA回国(东京周末)和回来的机票
     
    哇哇,我的第二个Final才写了四分之一(就写不动了),学生的分数还有40%没给,还打算下周看完几个老师的paper
    突然觉得西雅图怎么这么偏啊,去个哪儿都得兴师动众的

    风水终于转到我这儿了

    除了上周的大好消息,还有猪头明天就来慰问我之外……,呵呵
    年初提交的两篇paper,都被accepted for presentation at AOM Conference, Yeah!
    有种被闪电击中的感觉,呵呵

    Englishman in New York -- Sting

    I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
    I like my toast done on one side
    And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
    I'm an Englishman in New York
    See me walking down Fifth Avenue
    A walking cane here at my side
    I take it everywhere I walk
    I'm an Englishman in New York
    I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
    I'm an Englishman in New York
    I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
    I'm an Englishman in New York
    If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
    Then he's the hero of the day
    It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
    Be yourself no matter what they say
    I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
    I'm an Englishman in New York
    I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
    I'm an Englishman in New York
    Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
    You could end up as the only one
    Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
    At night a candle's brighter than the sun
    Takes more than combat gear to make a man
    Takes more than a license for a gun
    Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
    A gentleman will walk but never run
    If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
    Then he's the hero of the day
    It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
    Be yourself no matter what they say
    I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
    I'm an Englishman in New York
    I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
    I'm an Englishman in New York

    The departed 美版无间道

    没啥可说的,就这样的都能得奥斯卡,尤其是迪卡,既没帅气又没演技的,唉
    看完这个电影最深刻的就是两样东西:开枪砰得一声,和"f***",档次啊!
    不过Jack Nicoleson果然姜还是老得辣啊,还有Daimon一如既往的帅,而且这种角色最适合他了

    Grading

    最近连着几天批改学生的essay,快郁闷死了。每人两篇,每篇3000字,而且没有什么正确答案
    昨天改完一篇发给他们,立马有个老美女生过来跟我complain,而且态度极其让人不能接受。用老公的话说,有些美国人就是又笨又蠢还自大的要死。不过还是没能安慰我气愤的心情,发了一封email把她教训了一顿,哼!
    今天又改了一晚上的essay,写评语写多了突然发现我的英语字已经快成花体了,比已经漂亮潇洒多了,呵呵。很有些自我陶醉阿,一下心情就变好多,从suffer变成enjoy了
