I came back from Tailand the day before yesterday.Not until now is my head completely clear. I will share something that I have seen and thought with you .       Tailand is a smiling countrry. Yes and no. The local residents are frindly and willing to help others.It was very unforgettable that many elephants around us and they are  free from restraint .We fed them different kinds of fruits.Their long noses were soflexible  that they can get the fruits qucikly and accurately,even the fruits were in the small boxes. The baby elephant was very very cute.It was only nine-month old.I love her. 

How time flies! When there are more and more functions of mobile phone, i use the computer less and less. Especially after sweet bun was born, i spend most of my energy and time on her, and almost leave the computer all behind. The very first thing i should do is beating procrastination. Persistence is the most simple theory, but the most difficult thing to do. Hope i can do this for my bun.

Yesterday I did something very special albeit sounds a little bit silly thing. I walked about 20 minutes to a post station and sent a letter to an online friend by regular mail. The girl at the station threw me a kind of curious look but she didn’t say anything. There was no stamp, and the girl collected the post fee, which is 1.2 yuan, through QR code. So, it was not exactly like the old days. But still, precious memories have all been brought up.This whole idea came out of Shirley, dear leader of our learning group. Honestly, when I first heard it, I was like, with so many much more effective and faster ways, who would go back to writing a letter? But when I settled down, writing the letter with a pen, walking to the post station and mailing it, it felt so different.It’s not just about nostalgia, it’s about slowing down and communicating with each other in old ways, where we don’t rush, we don’t hurry up, we pause and think, where we see people as human being not just a social media profile.Perhaps one day there would be no such things as a regular mail. Perhaps in the not so distant future, we might have faster and incredible ways to communicate. When we want to talk with someone, we simply close our eyes, and through some magic chip in our brains, we could appear together anywhere we want, either on exotic beech, or in tropic jungles, and sat down to have a nice “face-to-face” talk. However, it would not be the same. And those feelings when you wrote a letter would be always there, stored safely in our memories.

There are quite a few big stories going on
here and they have grabbed a lot of public attention. Here I’m just trying to
write down how I feel about them. So, it’s just personal and I certainly don’t
mean to pass judgements or cause any troubles.

No.1 Trade War. Honestly, it makes me feel
uneasy. I’m pacifist and anything related to the word war makes me
uncomfortable. I
understand that some differences are hard to settle down through negotiations, especially
through political negotiations. But is it a lose-lose situation really the only
way out? Okay it’s really a big topic. Right now for the most of us, the real
concern about this news probably is just how it is going to affect the stock
market–, I mean if you happen to have some money in it. But for the long run,
who knows?

No.2 Bullying
at school. It’s insane. I mean, stabbing-a-ten-year-old boy to death in front
of your daughter, and you call it to protect her from school bullying? This big
story ignites a national dialogue about bullying at school and I understand how
we all hate it, but as a mum, I could never understand this man’s behavior. Honestly,
it chills me to the bones to see so many netizens even applauding for him, describing
him as sort of a hero. Honestly, I don’t know which one scares me more, school
bullying or this twisted celebration for murdering a boy in his own class room.
Even if when violence is the only way to curb violence—which I seriously doubt
it, pick up your target right, find his father to have an one-on-one fight.

No.3 WeChat
New Rule. Okay, it’s great for our learners. I bought another course from Qingke
as soon as I knew that I didn’t need to share it in my moments to get full
refund. I know our social medium has already become ad-riddled hellscapes, but I
never expected that “Education” would become the first target to make a change.
When I open my moments to find the others learning records all over, it’s a little
bit annoying, but at the same time it pushes me forward. Personally, I think it’s
so much better than to see false news and other ads flooding your screen.

The performance has just been finished today evening while there is still a huge amount of things remain to be done in the following days. It is 23:35 on 16th of May now, the moment that I've just completed with what I should have done today.

According to the People’s
Daily, since the beginning the home stretch before the college entrance
examination, the telephone service has been suspended at the students’
dormitory of Hengshui No. 2 Middle School in Hebei; the TV hasn’t been turned
on at the dining hall; there have been stacks of reviewing materials inside and
outside the classrooms.

人民日报报道：自从进入高考冲刺阶段，河北衡水二中学生宿舍的电话已被切断，餐厅电视也不再打开，教室内外堆满复习资料。In order to save time, several
eating companions have agreed to buy meals in turn, sharing the food in a large
basin at each meal. They hope to go to college at the same city.

为了多挤出时间，几名“饭友”约定轮流买饭，每天在一个大饭盆吃饭，他们希望能到同一个城市读大学。

The performance has just been finished today evening while there is still a huge amount of things remain to be done in the following days. It is 23:35 on 16th of May now, the moment that I’ve just completed with what I should have done today.I went for self study in the morning, had lunch and went back for make-up. To neglect the rehearense at 13:00 in order to listen to my class on practical diagnosis in the afternoon. I planned to leave classroom at 15:00. As the result, leader of the dance team acolded me using unconsiderable words in very angry voice. But, I forgiave her rudeness for she is one grade younger than me, and the hard practice as well as terrible-arranged time schedule for rehearense also put plenty of troubles on her. During the rehearse yesterday she was scolded on our bad performance and lack of member by our dance teacher. She cried, face to all of us, girls comforted her with soft words. They were so skillful in making up sentence to cheer another’s heart when I just listened to them and apperciated in private. Though in my mind, an university student cry in public on teachers’ critical is really a shame which only happen in primary school.I’m good at dance as an ametour though I don’t have much interest on it, thanks to my mum.I reached the prepration room before 15:00 in the end though the leader said “You don’t need to come, just forcus on your study!” in phone. I ought to tell her first—–I know that, but the unidentified time arrangement given by her annoyed me a lot in the past two month. In fact, I am against most of her command for its unclear and selfish. But I never say that to her, never.All in all, I finished the show——probably the last chance in college, not so happy as I already known at the very beginning. To be an adult means you must be responsible for your decision at a moment, in spite of regretness, obstacles, injury and tears during the process. Otherwise I could probably be the dance team leader if I put in more attention. I led a dance of the team at my first semester in college, that time I was full of ensuziasm, taking the place of an ill elder’s position temporaryly. That performance was also successfully held, left me with disappointment for the time I used and exhausted with the arguments among directors. Today is acturly the second time that I took part in a show as member of the school’s dance team, and the last time I suppose. That’s exactly why I ignore my hard classes to waste precious time on a nonsence thing like that.Time has just past 12 o’clock, It’s 17th of May now, my birthday, always workday. I always have nothing special in birthday, no gifts, no party, no friends congratulation face to face, maybe one or two texts in phone. My attutides towards life should be responsible for this and I have no complanation. So I purchased a gift to one of my roommates last month as birthday gift, for the first time, trying to make a little change. Nevertheless, tomorrow, no, today is Friday which means I can go home at evening and mom has ordered cake for me. I have difficult final exams on medicine in the following two month, one by one. I must apply for vista to England for the summer’s overbroad project that I have already sign for. I still have oral English test and paper test for CET6, with the aim of oral A and papar over 600. It seems that I forgot a large number of words and grammer knowledge in the past 3 years. I’m afraid of getting a mark less than last time——596.So I write diary in English after the exhausting evening show and hours to put files in order for vista. I have a bus on 7 o’clock tomorrow morning.

It had been forecast we would have a thunder shower today. Towards noon a sudden shower came down but no thunder was heard.
The new highway under construction across the concrete road we take every day to work is based so low that it is just like a ditch. The intersection has been excavated to the level of the new road. So now we had to cross a dry trench there.
The leaning enclosing wall east of the school gate has been torn down. The corn-stalk bundles I had stacked and covered at the southeast corner of the schoolyard were in the way. They have been thrown away and dispersed.

I’m unfit to be charged with important tasks and just assigned some
chores. I think it shameful to buy theses in my name like my colleagues and the
certificates of honor I earned are useless in the promotion this time.

不堪重任奉箕帚，論文恥購譽空授。How hopeless it is for me to be a candidate in
this promotion! I have nothing to desire except for being granted exemption
from dismissal.
