me Claire Strive&Embrace

It's now raining here in Berkeley. The very first time...at least it's the very first time I saw here at Cal.Cars passed by and you could hear the familiar sound made by the frictions between those vehicles and raindrops which drove me nostalgic...brought me back to the rainy days and nights at home,sweet home. Like I said "tai jia le..." it's such a perfect place that I know it's a definitely a good one for study. But for sure it's not the one for me to devote myself to. I'm now facing an intact unwritten essay which is due tomorrow afternoon. Something special, I guess it's the rain led me here to type down sth. that I've been thinking about.

I-house is pretty a boisterous place to live...getting to know people in the dining hall  is the tradition. There are hundreds of people you can talk to. I was just talking with a graduate student who went to college in Oxford. Listening to her is such an enjoyment(articulate and clear British accent) and she speaks Chinese so well...and she studies math~~wow...

I said to Ana Luz the other day that it's a little bit too homogeneous in Shanghai and that's why I'm here at Cal. To some extent, we in China are sometimes mean. We judge people...but here they don't...

"everyone thinks alike,everyone is likely to be wrong"

"deep in heart,I'm just like you"

Firstly I thought they were contradicted...but when time goes by, I see the beauty of the combination of the two.

Some thing is called common ground right? (I'm trying to find a better word) It's just like no matter how fierce the president candidates' competition is going through,the ultimate goal is the same. For us we put the common ground on top of everything and the arguments are always turned to be so called "informal".

I am trying very hard to grasp all the information around me,like overhearing people's talk and imitate=P that really reminds me of my childhood which I do enjoy=)

Like one of the students' here said, Berkeley is life.

I just hope one day that we in China can say with pride that we have our life here. It's about life...why we need all these governance, administration, state, soverignty,regime,law,system,structure? It's about life. We are all pursuing our better life so that we construct all these concepts notions,trying hard to figure out the connotations...yeah that's right if they really care about people, it shouldn't be a problem. However history proves that the good will could be tortued into everything...so we set up something to keep the will benign.But still we may run into vicious cycle...that brings me back to the title: nothing is ever quite as contrary as reality.Afterall,we are probably stuck in the two extremes of the spectrum forever,struggling in the contrary,moving from 奴性to任性。

I was watching before sunset in the afternoon.Celine studies Pol Sci hehe...I love those conversations they have...so real so in contrary...

Anyway,take advantage of all the facilities here and keep "sponging"=P so that I can make a splendid start of my 3rd decade of life=)

I love typing words here with the drizzles dancing on my window=)

I'll be back soon I guess the raining season's coming...

Miss my dearest esp. in a weather like this.

Stride on...Take care...all of us...though the reality's around the corner anyway=)

 

Deep in the valley of our soul
Tired of worries you can't control
With so many mountains left to climb
Unanswered questions left to find

We go on
We go on
It's the first lesson learned when you're born
On the wings of angels
We ride out the storm
You and me
We go on

Pull a stranger from the water
And in that moment he's your brother
There's a gift when you receive him
Love is the greatest reason

Faith happens when you can't see
Against all odds you believe

We go on

昨天一回到寝就睡了，终于可以在12点之前睡了，突然意识到，明天是最后一天了啊...这样说吓到诗梦和米拉了=b

本来以为今天会“不省人事”了，却神奇地在6点半就起了，我也开始头疼了...

今天可以回家了啊终于，这周真漫长。

 

那天下午唱歌的时候就在想，坐在我旁边的对面的大家，也许要一年以后才能再见到了...

这的确是最好的一年...

 

40 days left.

从今天下午开始要好好梳理一下这两年嗯

然后希望自己在BERK加油，韬光养晦 有所作为呵呵

 

也希望0617的junior year一如既往的浪漫、温暖和开心。

自己只是一只小风筝啊，线在这里牵着呐=）

 

愿缪今天搬家顺利！ 小褚生日快乐！

 

头疼...未完待续=）

 

 

 

很久没有那么认真地听电台了，因为是我们自己的电台，DJ的每一句话，每一个咬字，音乐每一段旋律的起承转合。

上一次可能是10年之前，听篇篇情，HFB，和清晨的音乐航班。

29分，这个学期加油！
