22 Articles Each Month

As July has been history and August is coming, I'm here to proclaim a couple of decisions related to this blog.

Up to now, there are only 18 articles published in July due to my own laziness. However, I have sufficient material to write a few more blogs. As the articles in May and June both accidentally turned out to be 22. It is determined that a total number of 22 articles will appear each month. If I have written enough in a month, I'll stop publishing (pay attention to the difference between publishing and writing--of course, not for diaries.) If, by the end of a month, I found that I haven't written enough, I will write more and publish them on appropriate dates before the 5th of the next month.

Finish Reading HP7

I read the most exciting part, "The battle of Hogwartz" and "Prince's Tale", until 3 a.m. today. After waking up, I finished reading it.

I once thought it's not as nice as I have expected, but these final chapters seem to have manifested Rowling's skill on such hard-to-write themes.

Below I'll write whatsoever that jumps into my head.

The scar was, after all, a Horcrux! And Harry was supposed to perish together with Voldemort! However, as Harry showed no fear and met his death with great courage, he somehow survived. The exact reason was never convincingly explained by Rowling. Probably she was too exhausted to come up with one.

The one-sided love of Snape was not at all moving. Snape was indeed a god-damned oddball who showed sympathy to Voldemort. His calling Lily "mudblood" showed his true viwepoint. As to his long-lasting love, well, he's not the only one that suffered.

It seems that all half-bloods have some mental diseases, and the reason behind it is worth studying.

So, none of the Marauders died a natural death. It is indeed a fantastic gang! I've once thought of compare 605 to the Marauders, while I am definitely playing the scholar i.e. Lupin role.

Ginny, to my astonishment, hardly appeared in the story. And it's not shown that how come she went out with Harry again. However, the relationship between Ron and Hermione developed rather fast.

Percy returned from the "Dark Side" at last. I don't know whether Rowling is wise or foolish to do so.

That's all for today.

Trying to Perk Up

As I have said a long time ago, everything one planned about working during holiday will definitely not be well executed-- in fact, in most situations he will not execute it at all. That's because such plans are always made during the final week, when one has got used to extremely hard working. It always apply to me.

During the hardest time of the final week, I told myself that "after all these inferno exams, and you can play Starcraft at home!" That's exactly what I did these days. With an experience of War2, especially the coordinated attack with long-range siege weapons (such as ballistas and catapults as well as siege tanks and reavers) and short-range protectors (such as Knights and Ogre as well as Marines and Zealots/Dragoons), I've struggled through the campaigns of Starcraft and now is struggling through Brood War.

However, it must be acknowledged that such thing has somewhat spoiled my life. Beside all the symptoms during the first week of summer vacation, I've been rather exhausted these days.

Now, I think it's time for a change. I'll work out another plan of holiday and oblige me to carry it out.

The Magnum Opus of Rowling

If you ask me to choose one single book, one single volume, as the "Magnum Opus" of J. K. Rowling, I will definitely choose Order of Phoenix. Before it, Harry was too young to to anything magneficent enought, too naive to allow Rowling to discuss on some meaningful themes. After it, Harry has too much task to accomplish, too much responsibility, hence Rowling have to concentrate on such plots instead of discussing on other themes.

In fact, each books is, simply speaking, more difficult to write than the previous ones, that need more skill and brain. The skill in writing Order of Phoenix is, I dare say, the limit of Rowling's power.

In Order of Phoenix, Rowling presented us some character, some figures that will be as immortal as Hamlet, Heathcliff and Elizabeth Bennet.

Umbridge is definitely the most unpopular villain in all these books. Voldemort iss but a "common thief", dreaming of dominating the world and turn Mudbloods and Muggles into slave, hence he's just some typical archvillain and won't make you extremely angry. Comparing with him, Umbridge is not that utterly evil, but, time and time again, she can give you urges to shatter her into millions of pieces. The problem is, she isn't simply "bad", and in fact, she's possibly intensely oppose to Voldemort. She's just executing the order of the Ministry with ultimate loyalty. Rowling showed us, with a little exaggerating, that what tragedy will occur when one put loyalty to an extreme. Besides, "toadlike" is definitely an adjective that will be recorded in the history of British Literature. What's more, "I must not tell lies" is such a classic tragic scene. Rowling has treated it with great skill.

Comparing to Umbridge, Percy is similar but different. As Fred said, he's an "Ministry-loving, family-disowning, power-hungry moron". His letter to Ron, also treated with some exaggerating, was another classic piece of work.

Jame Potter, a character almost re-figured in this book, is another shock for the readers. What's more noticable is, Rowling explained such re-figuring with only one immortal line, "A lot of people are idiots at the age of fifteen. James grew out of it."

Luna, needless to say, is a "mirror-inverse" of Hermione. Rowling treated her with some comical technique, but she's after all a lovely girl.

The figures of Weasley twins has been further developed in this book. They has some resemblance of James and Sirius at their age, while the difference is they never thought of really "grow out of it", and they led a uncommon but still happy life. Their life plan and ideal are quite interesting.

Finally, "Dumbledore's Army" is definitely a most exhilarating part of the whole book. It reminds me of my lectures, which was nicknamed as "DA".

Into the Darkness

Two days ago, we left for dinner at 7:30 or so. By then, it has been very dark.

The darkness reminds me of my first day in this campus. That day, after a party of the Zhixin HITHs(Heroes in Testhall), I walked into the very same darkness. There were street lamps, but I felt as if it had been totally darkness. I was a bit nervous and afraid while facing the darkness. I found I forgot the way back to my dormitory, and had to ask a sophomore.

It was the first time I realized that I had become a college student, that I was gonna live on my own and take care of myself, that I still had such a long way to go and so much to learn.

After that, I'd got used to such darkness and everything of this campus.
I'd learned to make myself at home in such darkness and such life.
I'd gradually begun to get tired of days like these.
I'd even hated such places, because of all those miseries, those unsuccessful relationships, those failures, those ambitions that failed to come true. I believed it was a curse place for me.

However, when daddy's car slowly driving out of the campus, when each familiar building zoom in and out of my sight in the darkness, I suddenly realized that I was leaving this city, a city I'd lived in for two whole years. I suddenly realized that I probably would never have a chance to return. I suddenly realized that, though I had never declared I love this place, though I even thought I hated this city and this campus, I'm actually loving it.

After all, it was two years of laughters and tears, two years of happiness and miseries, two years of golden memories that would possibly be sealed in my mind for a whole life!

One will never appropriately appraise its value until it is lost.
It's such a golden sentence.

HP7 at hand!

Today, after visiting our new headquarter of the original 605 gangs, 181-324, Prince, Racoon, Piggy and I went for dinner together. After it, we decided to go to the Bookshop.

Before we entering it, there were huge, red banners read "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on Sale", and I suddenly realized that the final volumn of the legendary Harry Potter series had been released.

I've long fear this release, fear the ending of the story. Rowling had already said that she will "execute" more than one of the main characters "to prevent from unauthorized stories". I had always been thinking that she's refering to more than one of the "H2R", because only the death of more than one of them will possibly prevent fans and unauthorized writers from continuing the story. What's more, Harry's scar has so many reasons of being a Horcrux. I fear that Harry will be like Tassandar and Grom Hellscream, to sacrifice himself to bring peace to the wizard world.

A couple of days ago, I've heard others discussing the ending. They said Harry and Ginny married and have 3 children; while Ron and Hermione have 2. They even gave the names of these children. Though I hope it was right, I still seriously doubt it.

Now, standing in the Bookshop, I saw many volumns of HP7, whose covers were exactly the same as those released previously. However, they were covered with plastic, thus made it impossible to read the last few pages.

Hence, a little disappointed, I went to 4th floor to look for physics books. When I found there was nothing new, I wander aimlessly into a bookstore that only sales English books, wherein many HP7 books, not covered, were stacked there.

With such intense excitement, I ran for them, picked one up and read, to find that all I heard about the ending days ago were......TRUE!

With this exhillarating discovery, I suddently had an urgent to buy it. A quasi-HP-fans as I declared myself to be, I've never bought one myself. I read the first 5 volumns from my sister, and borrowed the 6th from the library. It suddently came to me that I shall possess one volume.

Hence, I bought it. Cool?

Migrating

This is Pony writing to you, in a completely messed up dormitory at the temperature of no less than 35 Celsius. By the time this article is published, this legendary migrating has almost come to an end, though the name of its difficulty will not.

After spending these wonderful days with Jumping Fish, I came back at around 6 p.m. without dinner yesterday. After spending a couple of hours on writing my Blogger and playing War2--with my roommates busy working on their luggages, I eventually decided to do something. Though my original plan was to wait for my parents, and to pack everything up after they'd brought me much more bags, I thought that neatenning my things before it would do much good. Hence, I set out working hard and sweatily with a mess of books, papers, magazine, etc. However, these were relatively easier to cope with, for they were, after all, rectangular and have a limited number of sizes. When I began to work on those electronic products, remaining food, a pile of little, seemingly useless things labeled "keepsake" by me, and other things piled in my two drawers, it turned out to be a much harder work. Eventually, I thought I'd done enough and went to bed rather early.

I woke up at around 8:30 a.m. today, while my roommates are busy working on the final stage of the packing. I turned on the computer intended to surv on the net for one last time in Zhuhai, only to find that the whole system has been removed. Then I began to do some other works--to find out the minority of that pile of paper which were still of some use.

After lunch, I took a nap, until they woke me up to ask me to convey those huge boxes to the ground floor. There are more than a dozen of huge, heavy boxes, but fortunately, we have guys from 06 Physics to help us. This work was completed by 3 p.m.

I thought my parents could arrive earlier, and began to write the first part of the article (i.e. in front of this paragraph) you are reading now. However, they told me that because of the heavy rain in Guangzhou, they would set out by 4 p.m. A little frustrated and annoyed, I thought it was a nice idea to pack up my clothes with the available suitcase and do whatever else I can do.

After some hard working, I packed all the clothes and stuffs on my bed properly, and put them with all the other luggages I got ready last night. It was by this time that my parents arrived, a little earlier than claimed. It's needless to explain all the details about getting all these from 6th floor to the car and how to stuff them in it, though it's really exhausting.


After all has been done, we left for dinner at around 7:30 p.m. and then headed straight back to the villa.

QQ Signature

Two years of Life in Zhuhai ended in a most happy, most magnificent, most immortal way. I swear, that, I, will, appreciate, you, for, all, my, life.

A concert of two, one sings and the other listens. The shade of banyan is the stage, the first-quarter moon is the spotlight, the cicada of night is the obbligato.

The Final of the Finals

I woke up at hardly eight this morning, because I could never sleep well before the last one of the final exams. After reviewing aimlessly for a while, I decided to have my breakfast and head for the testhall.

The last final would be held in the largest classroom in Zhuhai Campus-- F317, with 300 or more seats. Due to the idiocy of the architect, such a huge classroom has only a few fans hanging high on the ceiling, make everyone inside sweat. Furthermore, all the windows must be shut to prevent the curtains from being blown up. Without the curtains, the sunshine would make it even more uncomfortable. Hence, I cannot bear to stay inside, and choose to stay outside and enjoy some breeze--in fact, it was quite windy outside. However, when there's only 15 minutes left, I thought I have to go inside and try to get used to the infernal environment.

The examination itself was sufficiently easy, but it was indeed much too hot! Besides, I was a bit too exciting by then. Hence, though I knew it was extremely unlucky, I still handed in the papers 20 before deadline. In fact, it IS extremely unlucky! I make a little mistake that would take me at least 3 points! GOD DAMN IT!

After that, the gangs of 605, as usual, went to the "Dongbei Dumpling Restaurant" for a feast. It would be the last feast of the gangs of 605 in Zhuhai, as well as in the name of 605 (we'll be 181-324 next semester!)

The Two Crazy Days

July 17th and 18th, days totally devoted for Quantum Mechanics.

Hardly any college other that ours is foolish enough to arrange the exams so late. When most of the students in Zhuhai had finished all the finals and were busy getting ready for the migration, we still had to struggle for the finals. It is indeed unfair.

However, for some of us, like Racoon and Khgg, it is quite necessary to arrange the exams later, so that they could have the necessary time for preparing, as I judged these days.

These days, I, to the contrary of usual, stayed in the library for all days, so as to answer all sort of questions from Racoon and Khgg. As I said above, only a few colleges like ours still have finals, so it's easier to occupy a seat there. When they were not asking me, I just sat and read novels, until I persuaded myself to pick up Schiff.

In answering their questions, I just want to punch BY (our professor of Linear-Algebra) into mincemeat! It seems that they have neither basic knowledge of matrix, nor awareness of the connectiong between matrix and operators. I found it extremely hard to explain the problems without using concepts in linear algebra, especially eigenvalues. (BY didn't told them what can it do in physics when she got to it AT ALL) Therefore, the ask-and-answer became an agony for both sides. Fortunately, due to my extraordinary skill of explanation, I succeeded in explaining a lot to them, including the comprehension of most fundamental concepts. In this process, I myself had also systematized my knowledge better.

This evening, when I found there's nothing more for me to review, I went out with Y for a chat. I, considering her as my friend, described my problem in relationship and asked for help. However, to my disappointment, she just gave me much nonsense and leave the whole problem to me. It made me feel that my heart is never so close to her as before. I began to detest her idealism. She's too favored in the region of relationship, and she never consider it a complex problem. She doen't believe many things I believed in, like the tricks applied in pursuing a girl, like the ultimate goal of relationship is to make myself happy when, only when possible, make my the girl I love happy. Furthermore, she believe the naive imagination that there's no essential conflicts around benefits between lovers, and she gave no consideration to the strategy used against lover to maximize one's benefit. (It reminds me of Augur, who has a ultimate hatred through such thing she named as selfishness--as, in fact, she even hasn't seen the real selfishness. There are only two possibilities for Augur: she hasn't appreciated the delicate art of trick and bluff in interpersonal relationship, or she's too familiar with the art to love it. I think the former make more sense.)

P.S. When I was writing this, Li Fang sent me an SMS, said that she had arrived at Zhuhai. It did have a great effect on morale. I'll finish the finals tomorrow, then I can enjoy myself!

Get Through Complexity

Indeed, it is not worth mentioning. However, to keep a relative completeness of T_Final, I'm still gonna give a few words for it.

Today is the final exam for the elective "Non-linear science and Complexity".

In the gangs of 605, only Racoon had exactly the same final schedule as me. Khgg hadn't chose this elective, and didn't attend this exam. That is, he would have 7 full days for the preparation of Quantum. Piggy, on the other hand, wouldn't attend the Quantum final. That is, this would be his last exam of this semester while the other 3 of us have to struggle for a couple of more days.

As an elective, we are allowed to bring, in principle, whatever material, including his lecture record, his ppt, or any related books, into the testhall. However, as we have already know what the questions would be like and what the difficulty would likely to be, due to my effort, we determined to bring nothing but his ppt (previously printed by Piggy in a awful quality).

I arrived at the testhall after lunch, but I stayed outside for some natural breeze. It was becoming hotter and hotter these days. I took out the printed material, but just gave it a couple of glance, thinking that I had neither mood or necessary to read it again. I read some Schiff Quantum, and took a nap.

The exam went on pretty well. Besides, I successfully cooperated with Racoon in a simple cheat.

Now, it's only Quantum I have to worry about!

War2 Strategy on Land Map

(Just something written for fun and release the tremendous pressure of the final)

Do routine work until you have at least one Town Hall, two farm and 9 peon. Send an appropriate number of Peons to harvest gold while others harvest lumber, to keep the ratio between them about 2:1 to 3:1, which should gradually be adjust to 4:1 or more.

Send another Peon to build another farm. During this, once you have enough resource, build a Barrack. Once the farm was completed, order the Peon to build a Lumber Mill, and when he have finished it, let it harvest lumber near it. Once the Barrack was completed, start training Grunt. Keep on training more of these and ask them to block the entrances.

If possible, you can ask a group of four of them to scout for the enemy base. Once you found the enemy base is poorly defended, move in and kill all the combatants and as many Peasant as possible. If, however, the enemy has some towers, then simply retreat.

(Altenative Tactic: Build guard towers to COMPLETELY block all the entrances, while train some Axethrowers and put them behind the towers, so you can climb the tech tree much quicker.)

After you have enough units for first-stage plan, and you've accumulated enough resources, build a Blacksmith. Then upgrade the Great Hall as soon as possible. Then build a Orge-Mound, then upgrade the Hall again.

(Altenative Tactic: If you prefer scouting as early as possible, build a Alchemist simutaneously with the Mound.)

Once it is finished, begin to train masses of Ogre, but Altar of the Strom must be give higher priority. During all the process, keep on building farms.

Once the Altar is completed, upgrade mage. Then Bloodlust, and then Rune. If you haven't build Zepplin, scout with the Eye immediately after Mage is upgraded.

If, during all these, the enemy attack your base, use all the units for that entrance to defeat them. If you choose to build tower, simply use masses of Axethrower to kill as much enemies as possible and don't rush out until the towers' down. Once you can rush out, focus fire on the archers first. Then kill the footmen. If they have Ballista, charge at it with 4 or 6 grunts and break it down at all cost.

Build some more units to complement the casualty. However, do not build Grunt anymore. You shall have 12 to 15 Grunts before having 2nd Base, but then you shall build Orges.

If all your Barracks are training units and you have extra money, begin to upgrade. Upgrade for the Ogres first. If you have unbalanced much gold, upgrade the weapon. Otherwise, armor can be considered. If you love axethrowers or you emphasize anti-air, upgrade it.

Then, build a couple of Catapult for a legendary seige! Meanwhile, upgrade the Catapults for damage +30. Once you have four catapults or so, head out for the enemy base. If they have towers, blast them out. Ogres must always cover the Catapults, and engage any enemy that intend to destroy these fragile tanks. Once the way's cleared, move the Catapults back, and bloodlust the Ogres, use some hit and run to make sure that you can alway focus 3 to 5 or more bloodlusted Ogres on one Paladin, so he will die before his companions can heal him.

Grey Day

It is, indeed, a gray day that ends with some bright color.

I've always been wishing that some of my female friends in Guangzhou may drop in at SYSU Zhuhai Campus, so that I can be a guide. Originally I invited Lifang 'cause she's definitely the most suitable choice, and she had been hoping to visit me in Zhuhai. However, she told me later that she'd have something else to do, so that she cannot come, maybe. I felt sorry, but I couldn't do anything, so I invited Jiaojiao, who will also be free after 13th.

Yesterday she sent me an SMS to inform me that she has finished all her finals. I chatted casually with her for sometime before I believed it was the time to talk about the real business. I asked her whether she'd visit me in Zhuhai later, and she said it was possible, though "nothing can be made very sure". However, what worried me most was she wanted to come along with Legolas! She just doen't understand how much would it disturb my carefully designed plan! However, it was apparently impossible to tell her not to bring Legolas, and I determined to ask Legolas to do this favor for me.

Today is the last day of her Oral English Learning in Zhuhai, and I, along with her parents, went to pick Legolas and to have lunch together. During the lunch, I cautiously asked Legolas,

"Has Jiaojiao contacted you yet?"
"Yes, why?" "I mean, has she told you that I invited her to Zhuhai, and has she asked you to come with her?"
"No, it seems."
"Well, can you do me a favor, please?"
"What can I do?"
"Well, you see, I wanna enjoy some vacation with, and ONLY with, Jiaojiao. If she asked you to come, can you find some gentle way to turn her down?"
"OK, no problem."
"Furthermore, please, please don't let her know that I wanna stay with her and her alone."
"Oh, gosh! For what? Why do you wanna do to her?", she screamed.
I wanna say, "Hey, take it easy. There's NOTHING BETWEEN us!" However, I must look like there IS something if I confest, and Legolas has already learned to tolerate my fooling around with several girls simutaneouly. Hence, I just gave a strange smile.

She gave me a so-it-is-ha-ha smile, and she whispered, "Ok, I'll do you the favor. However, you must promise to do something for me in return."

"Sure," I replied instantly, "What is that?"

"I've not come up with an idea. I'll tell you later."

"Ok, tell me when you're in need."

After departed with Legolas, I went back to my dormitory and, by 4 p.m., I sent an SMS to Jiaojiao, "So have you made up your mind?"

Her reply put me to the edge of collapse instantly.

"Sorry but it seems that only Legolas would go. I have some other activities, and have to leave Guangzhou on 20 until the end of July."

With a totally blanked brain, I replied, "If you like, you can come before I finishing all the exams. Anyway, the remaining exams are not hard for me."

"But I really fear that I will disturb you..."

"It's Okay, and I really wish you could come!" almost went insane, I replied.

She did not reply.

Extremely sad and irritated, I went lying in bed, but I cannot sleep.

At that darkest moment, I thought I was indeed the most pathetic men in the world.

I am unable to make a SINGLE successful invitation to my female friends! (I have an impulse to stress this sentence with all capital letters!) Nobody believes that I have really good female friends, and all laugh at me for being unable to get one female friend (say nothing of girlfriend). At such moment I said to myself, "I do have, though most of them are in Guangzhou."

However, Jiaojiao, always considered as a friend indeed, failed to be a friend in need. When I wish to prove that I not only have female friends, but also have one that is content to come for hundreds of kilometers for me. But there was NONE! NONE!

Furthermore, in order to enjoy some time with and only with Jiaojiao, I made Legolas to do that favor. Believing there's "something" between Jiaojiao and me, she will definitely not accept my invitation. As to Happy Everyday, that innocent, loony girl, she has already told me she had her plan after 19. Who can I invite, then?

And I made a promise in return! God knows what can it be! May it be something harsh and torturing, I'll be doomed without being paid!

I jumped up from the bed, and called up my parents. However, they don't understand my pain at all, and it totally broke my heart.

I went back to the bed, weeped for a while, and fell asleep.

However, after I woke up and turned on my computer, I found Lifang on line.

Realizing my pain, she said her activity had been delayed for two days, and she's capable of visiting me, if I was desire to find whoever female to visit me so much.

I suddenly felt a little sorry for her. It's not so easy to come for such a long way before some important activity.

However, she said, "I'm willing to do WHATEVER for my dearest brother Pony."

For this, I'll appreciate her for all my life, I swear.

Better to Speak Out

(This article is left unfinished. I felt not a little better after writting the part below, and decided to leave it so.)

"If you went out and got a bit of snogging done yourself, you wouldn't mind so much that everyone else does it!"
--J. K. Rowling

Khgg wasn't back last night. Obviously, he had registered a room at a certain hotel, and enjoying sex all night.

As a master of Theoretical Human Sexuality specializing in masturbation, I shouldn't feel so weird about my friends plunging their dick into their girlfriend.

Furthermore, I always believe in such law: if my determination of achieving something is sufficiently intense, I shall manage to achieve it at all cost; if I chose not to try too hard, that means my desire for it is not strong enough. Now it seems that my unsatisfactory to the current situation i.e. being single is not strong enough to drive me into pursuing someone I don't love so much.

Of course I've fallen in love with a girl, or at least I believe so. I had the feeling for several times with a couple of girls. Most of the times, however, the feeling was not so intense that I may devote sufficient time, energy and concern to make her my girlfriend. Most of the times, I just enjoyed being together, and appreciated each romantic moment which always summons that exhilarating feeling in me. Most of the time, when I've made up my mind to make some progress, the whole thing get complicated, too complicated for me to handle correctly. Furthermore, such annoying things happen around midterms or finals, which neither I nor she has time to handle things like these, and it come to an end.

Most of the times, but not each time. Last term, this young sophomore, Pony, did actually fall deeply in love, and was ready to pursue her at whatsoever cost. The story ended in an extraordinarily magnificant and tragical way. After that, I suddenly feel my once intense urgent to find a girlfriend wasn't so strong, and I entirely appreciate what I possess: my intimate female friend, my pals and fellows, my parents, etc. When I found Racoon involved in all sorts of erotic activities with his new friend, I just enthusiastically provided all the tips he needed in bed as the best THS (Theoretical Human Sexuality) expert in 605.

The Fateful Battle

7.12 Morning(10:00-12:00) Electrodynamics


They did stay up all night. I didn't, though I woke up much earlier than usual: 7:30.

After brushing teeth and all, I read some more of my former homeworks. while being ready to answer any and all questions from my roommates.

I left the dormitory at about 8:30 along with Racoon. We had some simple breakfast, lemonade and dumplings. Then we headed for the testhall.

Though I know there's no way for me to fail unless YME deliberately make it so, I was still quite a bit god-damned nervous when I sat down in the 200+ seat testhall. I even began to feel sick after sitting for a while. Many elites had already been there, including Dirac Jr. and PDE Dinosaur. The Head Lady of Our Team was a little bit late, but she seemed not at all nervous, which added to the uneasiness of others.

The questions of this exam are, just as expected, very similar but not identical to those of the homeworks. Therefore, most of them are more or less involving, but not hard. That is, I must spend not a little time on any one of them, but the moment I saw a problem, I know I can solve it given sufficient time and the exact way to solve it. Well, not all. Actually, I failed to achieve glory in Problem No. 2, to prove a somewhat EM wave can be completely described by a somewhat vector potential. I didn't give a complete and satisfactory prove for it.

The greatest problem of all is, actually, the temperature. In such a huge classroom, the effect of the fans can be totally neglected. Once more, the paper and the draft was soaked with my sweat. However, it's not that uncomfortable when you put all your mind on the problems.

Soon the time was up. I estimated my mark would be between 80 and 90, which it acceptable, and handed in the paper. (crap! If you estimated it to be a fail, can you refuse to hand in? )

After this, it's time for Non-linear and, more important, Quantum!

2007年7月11日星期三

The Hardest Time

Today, needless to say, I deployed all the forces I can gather to siege a bunker called electrodynamics.

As my pen bag, along with all the pens, pencils and a paper with yphysics@gmail.com, has lost for some unknown reason (I'll definitely write an article in memorize of the pen bag!), I have to go out searching for it, library followed by the test-hall, without any result. I have to go and buy all these, and, after I hurried back to dormitory, it's been 10:00 p.m.!

My roommates has printed the problems of the 04 final for me, and I began focusing on that. I intended to write it as clearly as possible, so that I can hand it to my roommates when they need them. After writting for a while, however, I found it's just impossible, because the problems are rather difficult, and the calculations are involving. I'm quite capable of finishing them on a refreshing spring morning, but it's the summer noon of southern China! My body was soon covered My body was soon covered with "sweet summer sweat" as my pen danced on the paper, and it's beginning to itch. The feeling was so annoying, and soon abandoned it in irritation.

After lunch, I took a short rest and had some War2, I rewarded myself a good bath. In return, I compelled myself to come back to the horrible electrodynamics. I concentrate on the previous homeworks along with all the problems attached in the textbook. I have the complete solution of all these, provided by the professor, so I just try to sort out the standard method of solving typical problems. After getting tired of reading that, I intended to type the solution of the 04 final with Word and Mathtype, before I found it was too arduous to finish. I've only completed one most difficult problem.

I began the evening at 7, and continue working on the problems on the books. It was not until almost 10 that my roommates rushed into the dormitory, uttering pessimistic words. They pleaded me to write out the complete answer for 4 problems, including the one I completed in the afternoon. I accepted the task immediately, for the remaining 3 problems are relatively easier, at least I know which way shall I follow to achieve success. However, the typing was still involving work, and completed them in great uncomfortable hardly before this post.

I have to go! Roommates declared that they'll stay up all night reviewing, but I don't think it necessary for me!

Marxism is Over!

Hooray! Hooray!! Hooray!!!

With such a long time of arduous, torturing work that shows my utmost fortitude, I have eventually come across the infernal final exam of the notorious Marxism Philosophy!

I woke up at nine and turned on the computer immediately, to review those god-damned multiple choice. Soon, however, I felt extremely irritated and decided to have some fun! I turned off Word and ran Tides of Darkness, and slaughtered some pathetic orcish troops. Finally my conscience compelled me to come back to the exam. It is almost twelve, and I soon decided to go on reviewing after lunch at the teaching building.

After lunch, I found myself a comfortable, cool seat and began to read the summary I wrote myself. However, the seat was too comfortable and I soon persuaded myself to take a nap. I didn't came back to conscience entirely until 2:30.

However, the decision of napping turned out to be very brilliant, for I felt energetic enough to cope with the god-damned exam with more ease. Too energetic, maybe, for such a boiling hot day. I have to wipe the swear from my forehead once in a while or they'll drop on the paper! However, the pressure of exam make me neglected such unbearable environment, and I worked through all the problems with great timing skill.

As to the problems, they're not as hard as I've imagined. Most of the multiple choices have been seen before, thus make little threat. As to the analysis and discussion ones, I fully applied my eloquence into them.

This most exhausting exam has been history, but the hard time hasn't passed. Now I must focus all the firepower I can gather on Electrodynamics. After that, nothing can stop me from success!

Lyrics From The Sound of Music

"The Sound of Music" is the most immortal music-movie Hollywood ever produced, and is very familiar to most Chinese than born in 1970s and 1980s because it is one of the sources they used to learn English. I'm going to present some of the lyrics in it below.



Sixteen Going on Seventeen

Sung by Rolf and Liesl

(Rolf) You wait, little girl, on an empty stage, for fate to turn the light on.

Your life, little girl, is an empty page that men will want to write on
to write on.........


You are sixteen going on seventeen

Baby, it's time to think

Better beware, be canny and careful

Baby, you're on the brink


You are sixteen going on seventeen

Fellows will fall in line

Eager young lads and roues and cads

Offer you food and wine


Totally unprepared are you to face a world of men

Timid and shy and scared are you

Of things beyond your ken
You'll need someone older and wiser

Telling you what to do,

I am seventeen going on eighteen

I'll take care of you!


(Liesl)I am sixteen going on seventeen

I know that I'm naive

Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet

And willingly I believe


I am sixteen going on seventeen

Innocent as a rose

Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies

What do I know of those?


Totally unprepared am I to face a world of men

Timid and shy and scared am I

Of things beyond my ken
I need someone older and wiser

Telling me what to do,

You are seventeen going on eighteen

I'll depend on you!

Influence of Hollywood Movies

It is well known that before the Reform of China, Hollywood movies, as a typical embodiment of the "corrupted western culture", were resisted in China. Nowadays, however, a great many of Hollywood movies, both old and new, have been introduced into China and are welcomed by Chinese people. Furthermore, thanks to the development of Internet these movies can be accessed in China easier and more conveniently than ever. This will, doubtlessly, have a profound influence to Chinese people, especially the main audience of Hollywood movies: the youths.

On one hands, such movies do have positive effects to them. Firstly, these movies broaden their horizon, and provide them an opportunity to learn about the western culture. Secondly, as they can have an "intimacy contact" with the western culture, they can learn the way to deal with cultural divergence. Finally, as most of these movies are provided with the original sound track, it's a great way to practise their English.

On the other hand, it must be acknowledge that some negative effects do exists. The youth may lack the ability to judge what the saw in the Hollywood movies objectively with a sober mind, and tend to accept them easily. It may gradually change their value and ideas.

In my own opinion, Hollywood movies have many advantages, and hence it should be encouraged in China. As to the drawbacks, I think they can be negated through effective education.

Torment of Hell

"I just can't imagine how could I possibly get over this period last year!"
Thus did I wrote my QQ Signature.

It's getting hotter and hotter these days...
Too hot for any human-being to bear...


Just sitting in the dormitory can make one sweat on, and on, and on, until the body become so wet as if you were just pulled out from a pond.
If you sit with your trousers on, the trouser will soon become too wet to wear. However, if you don't, worse was to come. I thought work with trousers on will hinder the sweat from evaporating, but the low-quality chair prevent the swear on the back side of the thighs from both evaporating and being absorbed, and soon there were heat rash.

Oh yes, heat rash! They were everywhere, and the itch was too intense to stand!
Besides heat rash, my lips are also ulcerating, adding to my suffering.

The problem is, I have to review for the final under all such distracting torments of hell! Efficiency becomes nonsense, and we have to work very hard to simply concentrate on the books!

However, I have to struggle through all these. I know I can make it!

An Irritrating Day

It's by far the most irritating and embarrassing day in this month! God-damn it!

I seldom ever used the irritating alarm clock, 'cause it'll definitely do damage to my whole day's mood. I always rely on my roommates to wake me when there's class on 8 a.m. and I never thought there would be a problem.

Furthermore, it was raining cats and dogs this morning, I was half-waken, very sleepy, when I realized two facts. One, today is the oral exam of my English course; and two, none of my roommates would have such exam today. Combine them I had the conclusion:
I'M PROBABLY LATE BY NOW!

I immediately became totally awake. The watch showed it was almost eight, but I calmed down immediately, and got everything done before rushing out of the door. I thought we wouldn't begin until 8:30 at least, as we are group 4.

I was thinking my fragrant partner would definitely wait for the sake of our practise, when she called me up. She was extraordinarily angry on the phone, and insisted she'll recite her line withOUT me and leave. She shouted, "You'd better learn to have some idea of time next time from my punishment!"

I jumped onto my bike and charged to the teaching building, when I arrived, I met another one of our team, who told me, "She has just left." I entered the classroom, when Cockroach saw me and said, "She has done her part and left."

At that moment, I found I'd never felt such intense anger, partly 'cause I was totally wet by then. I shouted despite the exam was carrying on, "Why the fuck did the bitch do this!", and everyone in the classroom, including Uwe the professor, turned to look at me.

Cockroach draged me out of the classroom to calm me down. After some deep breaths, I felt a little better, but I was still murmuring in a very bad temper. The sole thing I wanna do by then is to rape her for dozens of times and shatter her into pieces, or simply ravage her to death. Perhaps that's why she left so earth-- to avoid my big dick!

Eventually I also did my part-- pretty well, but I was still rather annoyed when writing this diary. I'll never trust this bitch ever again!

Practise with a Lady

Today I practised the lines of Wuthering Heights with my partner, which is so very enjoyable. The reason is simple, my partner turned out to be (during the last assemble of our group for DV) from the same middle school as mine, and had already known me and admired me since high school! Furthermore, she's rather lovely and use perfume appropriately.

Well, I arrived a little before 6 p.m., but she was not there. I took out my cellphone, intended to call her up, but found that she has already sent me an SMS: "Waiting you in Clasroom F20X." I headed for there immediately to meet her. After that, we left for one of the corners of the whole teaching building, so that we'll not disturb anyone and vice versa.

We practised with great passion. I, finally found a chance to recite the words of Heathcliff aloud, did it with all my heart. She doesn't understand the novel very well, but she did her best. Laughter broke out between us now and then.

After working for half an hour, we headed back to the classroom. I, too tired to read on, took a nap. When I opened my eyes again, I found her sitting right beside me, with a slight but comfortable odor. In such odor, I worked on and on passionately until 9:30 p.m. After that, we went back to the dormitory together.
