Hard silence

There is a song named "Easy Silence" in South Chicks' hot album "Take a Long Way". But at this very time, silence is not easy. That's why I use, or you may say invent, this phrase "hard silence" as the title.




Since the earthquake shook Sichuan on May 12, everyone in this country has been standing together to lend his hand to the victims. It's the most destructive natural disaster hitting China in recent 30 years.



Yesterday The State Council declared the next 3 days the national days of mourning and appealed the public for three minutes grief from 2:28pm May 19. Air raid sirens, cars, trains and ship horns were wailing in grief when the people fell silent. Web pages turn grey, public entertainment is suspended, flag is at half-mast. It's one of the few times that I feel the power of solidarity in China. Nobody could be indifferrent.



Bless victims!Bless China!

Skype is good

It was my first time to make a call to a foreign country. I was calling to withdraw my application. The secretary at UIUC speaks quickly with a sweet voice. She is really nice. Though being nervous a little bit, I managed to speak in a fairly fluent way. At least, we have no difficulty in understanding each other. The most amazing point is that Skype only charged me 0.09 EUR, that is just 1 RMB for the 3 minutes international long-distance call. Bravo! I do love it.


As you may know, the choice of which Law School to pursue one's LLM study is always critical and really not easy. Finally, I reached my decision. After rejecting UIUC, I would definitely go to Indiana U-Bloomington School of Law, a so generous Institution. Located in the gorgous Bloomington which means the "town of blooming", the picturesque campus view ranks within top 5 among the American Universities.


While typing, I received an email from Cornell who finally began to review my application materials. God, Jesus! Though there is tiny chance that I would choose Cornell, I wish to get an Ivy admission, not rejection. I hate rejection.


Sleep! Good night...

Recognition

Men and women are so different animals. Regonize!


We used to laughing at Ross for his repeating "we were on a break!" Now I can see what the point is! If this is what all of you wanted, I am definitely OK!


No offense. Shit!
