Brave&Bright&Blest寻找奶酪~~~~~做一只快乐的老鼠:-P 7/3/2008 武汉的家前段时间妈妈一直在忙武汉新家的事宜,现在终于整得差不多了,真替他们高兴,hah~~今天收到传过来的几张照片,传到space上赞一下妈妈的“成果”。真希望早点儿能回国看看,亲自体验一下新家的感觉,我到现在还没搞清楚我们家在哪儿,sigh。。。。。 5/1/2008 Slightly, time goes by...Every time I click open my space, it is like openning a dusty chest. I just cannot believe that totally nine months have gone since I moved in Greenville city.
Most of the days are the same and normal, fulling with some lab stuff. Sometimes, even me myself smells like lab. But, yeah...a little bit exaggerated, there are always some exciting things happening besides lab, working or studying.
I made up my mind to transfer to Texas after thinking about it for a long time. Then I switched to MS to make it worth the two years here. It would make everything better except longer time hanging around LAB, so I just need to get ready for another five years. Sounds good. Definitely, I should try not to think about my age any more.......
As a 'fruit' of this decision, I was commuting between Greenvile and Clemson every Tuesday and Thursday, grabing the 6 more credit hours for my MS degree. I remember when I first noticed that I need 6 more credits to graduate, I felt nothing---"I can make it, only six!"---But today, when I just got out of my last exam, I felt a 100% release never ever. I understand that it was not a big deal in one's life, but NOW for me, that time had too much stress on me, both physically and psychologically. Maybe I was worrying about the research and the coursework tooooooo much, and I HATE driving which would make me dizzy!
During this time, I flied to Texas twice to get interviewed by a bunch of professors there (I only applied UT-Austin, but 3 departments). I spent good time there and got very exciting news from Biochem thereafter. Enn...it is like an activator makes me feel happy to encounter my stress.
Now I has been half released and I am getting ready for the peaceful lab life again, just like last Fall. The graduation day (August 9th) is coming, so I have to hurry up. I feel that I always need to catch up with the time, that's right, but always need to relax mental tension.
I am looking forward to the new life in Texas and, of course, another cycle of study. No matter what it is, from one trap to another trap, or from one step to another step, from bad to worse, or from good to better, this is the life I chose, and it is just what I want.
And I hope my friends that are leaving Clemson and the ones in Clemson all have a super satisfying future. Thanks for the teachers that are supporting me, and Bunny and my families.
Woo hoo~~it is Mom's day soon. Happy mother's day. 9/1/2007 我的recipe 自从给我的美国室友做了一次fried rice之后,她便深深的爱上了这道中国小吃。我们通常一起吃晚饭,她经常变换花样的做些东西,很不错,等她不feel like cooking的时候总是温和的对我说:“Chrissie, can you make some fried rice? I like it so~~ much.”
于是,轮到我做饭的时候,总是在她的强烈建议下做炒饭吃,当然了,根据冰箱里的原材料我会配不同的mix。
今天又轮到我做饭了,当然又是炒饭,Magery(我的室友)还专门去超市买了green pepper,她讲“fried rice with green peppers in it tasts so good”。Whatever,对我来讲无所谓,反正往里面放就是了。
我么,对炒饭虽然不是特别喜欢,但感觉还ok,可今天实在是想尝试一些不同的东西,总是干炒饭太boring。很早就开始怀念妈妈做的鸡蛋煎饼,于是琢磨着自己试着摊煎饼,然后做wrap把炒饭包起来@##$@#$%.......想象中,应该是一次很不错的尝试。“炒饭很简单,鸡蛋煎饼就是water、eggs和flour的混合物再洒上seasoning,做成型应该也没问题,嗯!”
经过一阵折腾,等把餐盘端给Magery的时候,她说“This is FABULOUS!”,这是我听到的对我厨艺的最好赞叹了,心理狂喜。。。呵呵,煎饼能不浪费原料地摊成功也是我没预料到的:-P
传上几张照片与大家分享一下吧。
对了,喜欢spicy的话,在蛋饼外淋上一层TABASCO SAUCE味道还真不错。 8/28/2007 8.28记 已经有好几个月没有更新日志了,感觉这里像生锈了似的。其实每天都应该有可喜、可悲或可气的事情发生,但是没有养成习惯及时写下,也便在不久以后淡忘了,淡忘得让我觉得生活实在太琐碎,琐碎得无从可记。。。。
在这期间,让我最兴奋的是回国的那二十多天,每天过得都很充实,从北京,天津,到保定,到武汉,襄樊,再到广州,马不停蹄,那熟悉的一切让我有一种回归的满足。遗憾的是没能去上海,留个念想吧。
回到美国,我买了车——是在一个很偶然的机会,路遇一个朋友,经他介绍当下就决定买了——没有经过太长时间的寻觅和折腾,还算幸运。99' Toyota corolla,迈数有些高,不过车况还好,价格还公道。
我搬了家,来到了一个新的城市——Greenville,离Clemson大概40~50min车程。因为我们的实验室是一个研究所,设在Greenville Hospital System里面,所以头一年在学校完成了课业任务后就要来这边开始实验室生活了——真正漫长的生物系研究生生活。我住在离医院开车~25min的apartment,室友是一个与父母年龄相仿的美国lady,人不错,我们相处融洽,cooking也不是问题,因为她有时候做饭警报器会响,我还没有过:-P 最大的问题是每天要从住的地方开车到医院,虽然有理由相信自己的开车水平——在国内学过,但无驾照——但是只有permit的我还是对单独上路心有抵触。
研究的课题已经定下来了,实验也渐渐步入正轨。由于现在不敢开夜车,有时又要让实验室的一个住在附近的朋友坐在我旁边压阵,所以一切生活都很规律,6:45起床,洗澡,吃饭,看报纸,准备带的中饭,8:10开车出发,下午4:30开车回家,整个白天几乎是被困在医院的大楼里,标准的工作节奏。。。。回到家,只想睡觉。相信以后会好吧,能自由开车的时候,就能支配自己的时间了,过早的适应上班节奏是会有些boring吧:-/
Whatever, 当一些成为习惯的时候也就不会计较太多了,不能改变环境的时候只有学会去适应。随着实验的紧张,也无暇去顾及其他了吧。于是乎,倒希望自己紧张起来,能够让自己知道做了些什么,学到了什么,想到了什么,等再一次闲下来的时候,才知道自己更需要什么。
补记:离开一个地方,就会更想念那个地方,在clemson的时候好想回家,回上海;现在,好想抽时间回学校看看。
1/6/2007 德州印象-Dec.19~Jan.1回到Clemson,我的生活即将恢复往日的平静且简单,但紧张并忙碌。惟有在日记和相片中才能重拾十几天前初到德州的那种兴奋,重温那十几天的美丽生活。这是我在美国的第一个圣诞假期,我想说:“真的不错。”
12月19日,我从Greenville飞到Dallas,对于Dallas的印象也仅仅停留在DFW机场了。那真是个大机场,好在标识清楚,没有走错。印象中,外面盘旋的立交错综复杂。gg从Austin开车4个多小时到Dallas机场接我(感动ed & 感动ing),见了面没有过多的停留,就开车向Austin的方向返回了。我们从Dallas出发时是下午五点多,到家已经快十二点了,期间的回程之路真像是一场探险。I-35高速由于accident被封,我们在风雨交加的晚上寻找新的路线摸索前进。具体细节就不说了,总之是平安到家了,gg的车技也因此有相当大的进步。
在Austin的几天里,我们先后去了Round Rock Outlets,Barton Creek Outlets,HEB SUPER MARKET,COSCO。。。都是不错的购物之处。在cinemark看了几次电影,强烈推荐‘the holiday’和‘night at the museum’,没有看过的话,一定要去看哦。当然还参观了UT-Austin的校园和gg的实验室。(在那里我头一次知道实验室里还可以公放动感音乐,呵呵)。自然景观么,去了传说中可以俯瞰Austin全景的Mountain;沿Town Lake (Colorado River的一段)散步;开车在附近转转,最终发现360公路的沿途风光很漂亮,颇有加州的感觉了。
圣诞前一天去了Houston。这里有一个中国城,到了那里真有回到国内的感觉,从建筑风格,到消费品和餐饮,再到人,一切都很地道。正像之前听人说的,这里的确不太整洁,不过也许这样,就更有在国内的感觉了吧。接着去了传说中姚明的豪宅所在的小区,很漂亮,可是不知道具体是哪一幢:-P 还去参观了姚餐厅,挺有情调的一个地方。参观橱窗里陈列了很多球星的签名和照片,可惜本人不是什么追星族,不然真的要以头抢壁了。
San Antonio是个不错的地方。我们圣诞节那天从Houston直接去了那里。San Antonio的River Walk有小威尼斯之称,是个不能不去的地方。傍晚的时候沿着河道散步,吹着河风,欣赏沿河的风景和圣诞彩灯,非常轻松和惬意。我们去的时候是圣诞,沿河的很多酒吧,咖啡馆或者餐饮店都关门了,但河道依然挺热闹。若是平时去,坐坐观光船,在沿河的酒吧里喝上一小杯,应该很不错吧。喜欢小资情调的朋友,一定要去哦。另外,我们还参观了具有重大历史意义的纪念碑Alamo。
就这样了,用流水账的手法把这‘第一个’圣诞记录完毕。新的一学期又要开始了,keep A Za~~~
祝愿所有朋友新年快乐。呵呵。
10/29/2006 Short-time trip to HelenBeing young, we always do somthing crazy.
Indeed, that is true.
That is why I made up my mind to spend this whole Saturday with some guys travelling, chatting, eatting, watching movie.......
EvEn If I am going to have three exams next week.
BUT it was fun . We went to Alpine Helen, Georgia, a small Germany-like town/village just about 1 hour driving from Clemson.
It was worthy to go there, for it is really very beautiful and special. It is a very good place to spend your holiday there,
and due to its tiny size, it's just for you to spend a special honey-day or honey-week there with your lover.
I do not want to "gaggle" any more, I just pasted some pictures here.
You may feel how good it is. I hope you like it:-)
After that, we went to Chinese Buffet, and "scared" in the horror movie - Grudge 2. It's OK, one who likes horror movies should go to watch it, but DO in the theatre.
