    Got a great cube at school, and some points ...

    Although manipulating people is always treated as unethical, sometime it can be good for both sides.
    Also try to practice on manipulating yourself - fake it till you make it, but never for others' sake.

    mind wandering...

    鬼使神差地忘记了周一系里的迎接新来师生的reception,我在回家的subway上突然想起来可惜已无回身之术。还保佑是整个学院的,这样俺不至于太显眼。结果今天被告知是我们系的,呜呜。昨天一懒又没去学校,结果又错过了一个积极表现学术热情的机会。
    禁不住又要nag我的cubicle了,啥时候才能在系里有个home啊

    久违的desktop

    俺的dell终于在昨天寄到啦!用了三台笔记本后终于迎来了本人私有的第二台desktop!22寸的LCD爽死了(还好当初听了老公的建议)

    人间处处有温情

    毫不容易起了这样一个很俗的题目:)
    当初抗拒住在曼哈顿,选择了commute 50分钟的Queens,一是不想老公太辛苦(说不定以后得靠他养家呢),二是习惯了西雅图的环境,三是年级大了特别偏爱countryside than urban, metropolitan life。初次之外还有一个潜意识的原因:不想成为New Yorker。为啥呢?不说也明白吧。
    过去的两个星期算是testing the water吧,终于度过了chaos阶段。高兴的事很多,比如跟大牛说上了话(大牛就是从内到外都散发着知性和感性的魅力亚),英语又提高了一些(果然是纽约),也有受打击的时候(nobody cares),幸好只是某人一面之词, because I still think that there are great people behind my back。然而最好的部分是有点开始体会到“北京人在纽约”的那首歌词:New York can be hell as it can be heaven. 今天跟canny, roy说道做地铁,脱口而出一句"I feel like being in hell",然而时时处处感受到的温情,还有像sting那首Englishman in New York所唱出的从容和处世不经,却也是来到纽约后感受的最强烈。Why? Probably because New York is like a furnace. Either gold or gabage comes out; nothing in between.
