Crazy, yes, this is exactly how other people think about me, and my college plan. Last week, I posted my college plan on my Xiaonei (similar thing like facebook):
2008: 6(summer)+18(fall)=24 credit (24 in total)
2009: 3(winter)+21(spring)+15(summer)+18(fall)=57 credit (81 in total)
2010: 3(winter)+18 (spring)+FREE(summer)+18(fall)=39 credit (120 in total), and GRADUATE!
Many people find it really amazing that I am going to graduate in 2 year and a half. Even myself is extremely surprised by the result. I hear all kinds of opinions about my plan: support and opposition. Among them, some of my friends’ concern really give me a hit. I do admit that college is fun, I should enjoy it. It’s not just about earning credits and get myself graduated from here. Anyway, 4 year college life would be more memorable than 2 year and a half college life. I knew college is not easy time, but it does not mean to give myself such a hard time for me.
This week, I finally felt being burdened by this semester’s 21 credits. My time now is just total mass. Try to get my time to pick up some breath and keep going. I would take my friends’ concern about my college plan, but at least I should finish this semester.
May God bless me.

Tibet was, is and will always be a part of China
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/11/world/asia/11tibet.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&hp
This morning, when I opened the web to read some news, this news above immediately brought me to rage. Today is March 10th, and I could never forget what happened on March 14th, last year. Here again, Dalai Lama started pulling his slander to dispute Chinese government. Last year, the Tibet government-in-exile hired some people, launched a great offensive against the Chinese government in Tibet. What made this event to worst was that some media, like BBC, CNN, which so-called news reporters, had greatly distorted the true fact about it. It’s almost been a full year, but the anger among Chinese people never goes down.
Of course, I knew why those medias, Tibet government-in-exile and some governmental officer attack Chinese government again and again over Tibet. But please, if you have idea about the Tibetan history and what is going on today in Tibet, please close your mouth and stop comment over Tibet. Tibet was, is and will always be a part of China. So was, is and will always be Taiwan. Honestly I can say, if China lose Tibet, China will keep going lose Taiwan, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, and then the three provinces in northeast China...The reason why China, after being thought over one hundred years of invasion but now quickly raise up again, is that all Chinese people realize that conformity is the only way out. In China, one inch of land is much more valuable than one inch of life.

the snow
A snow which has been longed so much, came finally.
I like the snow, because there is good memory in the snow; I like the snow, more because more nice memory can be created in snowing days.
There was no real so-called snow during my high school’s three year. That’s what I have always been pity for. There should be a scene of my classmates and I playing in the snow. But it could never happen anymore.
It’s the first year of my college life. When the weather turned cold, I started asking friends here about if there would be snow in Richmond. But the answer had always been no. But last weekend, it gave me an best answer. Again, it’s March, again, it’s the big snow of the early spring.
White and flawless snow covers everything, but it could the cover people’s excitement, craziness.
That night, I and lots of my friends had a snow battle. That’s what I call creating memory. I love my friends.

First experience of going to theater in America
Last week my classmate, Jun gave me two tickets to Landmark Theater for the opera, Tosca. Jun of course would bring a male friend to go with her to go there. Of course, refusing to admit being inferior, I had to find female friends. Really embarrassed that first two girls(one is my sister) refused me. Zarina said she would go if I kept being rejected. So obvious that she agreed.
It’s said that American people take theatergoing very serious. They would properly dressed. So lucky that about 2 months ago I received my first suit in my life, which was mailed from my parents. Though it had been 2 months, I still got no chance to put it on. And that night, it surely would be my first time to wear a suit in public. I also told Zarina to wear properly. Later I was told that she had trying dresses for hours about this event. O(∩_∩)O When I saw her that night, she was in a red dress, black stockings, high-heel shoes. Fancy that.
Finally, I was in Landmark Theater. Gentleman looked, speaking light English, still, companied by a nice lady, and that situations, all gave me an feeling that I was back into the age of La Traviata.
The opera, Tosca, itself was also wonderful. The only pity was that the it’s not in English, and I had to look at the title most of the time. The most impressive thing about the opera was that stage set, which was so real. The music was great, too.

I hate Novels
But for special purposes, I never read novels. I could even count the books I had ever read. In my primary school, I read the first novel in my life, The Count of Monte Cristo. Of course, it’s a simplified version. And it’s about six years later I read novel again. That’s was about my 11th grade. Because I need to read more to improve my English. I bought many English novels (simplified versions again), including David Copperfield, Jane Eyre, Oliver Twist. It’s about more than 20 masterpieces. Now I could hardly believe that I read so many novels. Honestly speaking, I do love these novels and I got my English proved by reading these. But it could not stop me from hating reading novels. I prefer reading some abstract textbooks. Recently, I am required to read a novel The dew breaker. Another novel! And a novel which I never heard before, and a novel whose chapters are barely connected. Anyway, I have to read it. Such a burden.

the art of war-1
Master Sun said: Military is a big thing to a country, as it concerns life or death, survive or perish. It cannot be neglected.So it should be examined with 5 criteria: justice, sky, ground, leader and principle.
Justice, makes people agree with the government, so they are willing to live with it, die with it, without fear.
Sky, is about negative or positive, coldness or warmth, and times.
Ground, is about far or near, easy or tough, broad or narrow, life and death.
Leader, shall be of wisdom, credit, mercy, bravery, and toughness.
Principle, is to build up a system, to verify everyone’s duty, to assign resources.
All leaders master these 5 criteria. Master them, then win; Not, then lose.
War in Iraq, US won in every thing but justice.

Shoe Is Thrown at Chinese Premier
Almost the same thing happened after former American President Bush was thrown with a pair of shoes. Days ago, when Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao was giving his speech in Cambridge University on China during his visiting to Europe, he was thrown with a shoe by an Cambridge University Student. It is said that he did this out of his anger about the dictatorship.
The audience present were all angry about such mean action, and shouted out together “Shame of you” to that student. After the audience calmed down, Chinese Premier resumed his speech calmly, slowly by “Teachers and students, this mean trick can’t stop the friendship between Chinese and English people.” This immediately cause the audience’s strong applause. And he went on his speech as if nothing had happened.
We can compare Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and former US Present George Bush’s different reactions. At that time Bush said he was pleased to see that people in Iraq still had the right to throw shoes. George Bush tended to deal such situation in a humorous way, to distract people’s attention and then go back to his topic while Wen Jiabao took it seriously and brought everyone to the conformity to despise such action.
If top governors like Wen Jiabao and George Bush can represent their countries, then we can say that they can also represent the countries’ value, tradition and culturel.
So, through these two people, I think we can find something different between China and US in term of value, tradition and culture.
