后肩背上突然发了一大块像水泡一样的东西。还有三四处类似的,但只是小小点点。他们都奇痒无比。都已经快3,4天了。
我不知道要怎么办。本来只要烦恼青春痘,现在又多了一种皮肤病。 还那么痒,看起来那么的恐怖。很想知道是怎么引起来的。自己推测不会是因为出汗的关系。这几天气温还算凉爽,做工的地方更是冷得要穿外套。也不大可能是食物的原因。因为我最近还是吃学校食堂的饭菜。本来今天想去给学校诊所的人看看。但我真的不信任那里的医生。 我怕他们会小题大作。昨晚突然发现在桌子上发现一盒涂类似东西的药膏,而且还是中产的。室友自己都忘了她有这合药膏,也不记得怎么会在桌子上。 我想真是天助我也。哈哈。搽了一下,虽然会有些凉凉的,但过不了多久又会觉得很痒。
我不知道要不要告诉我爸妈,让他们知道怕他们会担心。但他们又有可能会知道那是什么东西。
嗯,还是再等几天看看吧。

freezing…

July 9, 2005

Feeling extremely cold after staying at Case Center for 3 hours. I do not understand why they still turn on the AC even when the outside temperature is the same as the indoor’s.
Yesterday was fun. We went to bowling with the HEOP students. I think bowling might be the only sport which I actually have the natural talent of. Although my ball does not roll fast, and it is not under my control whatsoever, it usually goes straight, and I can usually earn more than 80 points per game. It is definately a WOW for a sport talent zero person like me.
Two more hours till I get off work.

Happy Be-lated 4th of July

July 5, 2005

Yestery was the Independence day of the United States of America. It was also the first Independence day that I celebrated since I’ve became a U.S. citizen. Like last year, I went to the Congress park to see the fire works, and ice cream at Ben & Jerry afterwards. However, unlike last year, this year I have a much lighter mood.
I was kind regret that I did not go back to NYC. NYC has this BIG Macy’s firework show every year, and I think this year is my fourth time missing it. 2001, I went back to China; 2003, Germany; 2004, in college, and 2005 in college as well. Every year at this time, it is more like a family gathering for us. My relatives would usually come to my home, and we would watch it from our balcony since our apartment is on the 20th floor. I have not gone to see the “live” one yet, and I would reallie love to see it. I just feel that this year could be the perfect time, fits my mood and kinda fits my schedule as well. But anyway, too late.
I’m planning to end my work after the first week of August. It is kind early. I will have almost 3 weeks of free time in NYC. I have decided to take the driving lessons with my friend last night. I seriously have no confidence about driving, because I can still lost control when I bike even though I’ve biked for so many years. I lack the “sport neve.” But, I know that I will need to get it soon or later, and by taking the driving lessons would make me feel that I did not waste my whole summer! LOl…

PS: You can leave me comments here now if you like. I have found the way viewing them ^_~

Lonely me -_-

July 2, 2005

断断续续,已下了好几场雷雨。
刮风,下雨,还闪电,刚刚那场就像世界末日的来临。
我的两个室友昨天都回纽约要等下个礼拜二才会回来。还有一个朋友也在今天下午回去了。只留下孤孤单单的我。
至从上个summer school 我们就一直在一起。也就是因为他们,我上大学后还不曾感觉孤单,或者是特别的想家。一个double room,他们在的时候我还觉得挤,大多时间我们也都各做各的。 现在他们不在了, 一个double room,突然变得宽敞的可怕。在现在这种暴风雨的天气,就觉得更恐怖。
昨天不用上班。打发时间,就一个逛去town. 后来又试着做local bus to mall.
沿途拍了些图片,这个安静的小镇。 那个电池我明明charge 了一个晚上,却拍不到20分钟就ran out of battery.

可怜天下父母心

June 27, 2005

气温又升到90度了。
Wish of the Day: 希望气温能快快降下去。
经历了有史以来最忙的一天。从10多点一直忙到4点。中间机器死了无数次。看着变得越来越长的队伍,看着像乌龟爬那么慢的重新起机速度,我快抓狂。 虽然这并不是我的错,但我还是会觉得很不好意思。机器一出问题,我的神经也随之绷紧,昨晚因为天气太热,一直都睡不着,过了两个小时我的脑袋就开始发涨似的痛。当时就好想回家睡觉。听朋友complain, 在Informatiin desk做也轻松不到哪里去。我们共同的感受就是8个小时笑下来,脸都麻木了。
每个小孩都是有家长陪同一起来。可怜天下父母心。 从他们的行为举止中,我见到了自己父母的影子。突然间明白原来从头管到脚的不只是我爸妈。很多妈妈就跟我妈妈一样,小孩拍照时她们比谁都紧张,都在意。那些小孩也通常跟我一样,很不领情。 但毕竟我已经长大了。从某种程度上,我逼我爸妈放手。有时想,或许我做得有点太过了。 慢慢,我感觉到自己的残忍。特别是对我妈妈。但就是因为我太幸福,所以我就越想飞出家门。 总觉得只有那样我才能真正独立。
Life is not easy. 对这句话的定义,我的感受越来越深了。

Out of work

June 21, 2005

I am having more than enough sleeping time these days since I worked late shifts for two straight days.
I am having a hard time finding interesting things to do on my off days. Although I am off today with one of my roommates, but we still cannot find anything to do. We were planning to walk to town in early morning, but we woke up around noon time, so the plan did not work out. After lunch I came to library to help one of my friends to move books. She works as a periodical assistant over the summer. I always thought periodcials are thin and magazine-like books. However, people have turned magazines to THICK and encylopedia-like books. I am wondering how many times those books are actually being used. They are covering with thick dusts, and we need to move them from one shelf to another because books are constantly being added and removed. Although I am a college student, it is still hard for me to FEEL those books are valuable. Like a grade school kid, I am still thinking those books are useless and made to torture people.
I am feeling the fattness all over my body: on my arms, on my thights, and especially on my stomach. I was gonna go to gym after I finished helping my friend, but then I ended up sitting here. I am not planning to go anymore. Too lazy to take a 5 minz walk. In fact, I do not like going there and make myself sweat at all. I do not like to do certain things purposely. Plus, I can hardly feel any differences after a 20 or 30 minz work-out. Just by eating LESS works much better for me.
I think my life is too comfortable right now.

Slacking off…

June 19, 2005

Time: 5:48PM Sunday, 06-19
Place: Case Center, Skidmore College

Have not updated for days, being lazy again.
Today I work for late shift, which is from 1 till 9. This 8-hour shift feels much longer than the early ones. I’ve been freezing to death here and waiting for another 3 hours and 10 minz to pass. No matter I need to work early or late, I always sleep till an hour ahead of my working time.

Working for customer service related jobs, one might discover his or her cheerful and friendly side. You will be thinking, oh, I could be open and friendly to strangers too. I’m surprise by my quick transformation from a somewhat professional information desk worker and my own self from time to time. I am not the only one who has such ability, but seems every single one of us possesses.

This passed friday was one of our busiest days so far. There were about 300 hundred people came to check in. They are memebers of International Women writing guild. I used to think writers would not care about trivial things such as “what direction does her room faces,” or being extremely cautious about their appearance on their one week long ID card. In fact, they are just typical mid-age(or older) women. They are extremely “annoying” and their temper r mostly not good. One lady got pissed of at us just becaue we didn’t give her a blanket with the plastic wrap(because two blankets are wrap together, of couse one blanket will have the the wrap and the other won’t). They come to complain every little things to us, and expect us to solve for them. People want to exchange their rooms because they want to have freezing cold rooms but not only cool rooms. Since the weather has cooled down these days, now they come to complain they are freezing to death. Okay, we understand that the AC might be too cold, but that is not under our control. What can we do but give them more blankets. Those women need to remind themselves that Skidore is not a hotel.

Our boss warn us that this upcoming weekend will be twice as busy as last friday. Couple hundreds of “Genius” kids are coming for their summer program. Maybe they are too smart, so they probably will not have too much patience or paying too much attention to what you are telling them. My boss told us, when they want to wear hat or making faces when they take pictures for their ID cards, just let them do it.

I am a talk show lover

June 14, 2005

各类的电视节目,我最喜欢看谈话性的。像是这里的Oprah Show, 中国的《艺术人生》,还有台湾的《康熙来了》。虽然听的是别人的故事, 但往往能从他人的想法和经历中找到共鸣,或启发。
喜欢keeping everything to oneself 的人往往得承受巨大的心理压力,并且引发忧郁症。I think I belong to this group of people. It is not that I do not like to share with others, but it is because I care about how others will think of me afterwards. In a way, it must be a sign of unconfidence and self-consciousness. Yes, I clearly understand the hidden psychological reason behind it, so what? I am still unwilling to make any positive changes. I am trying hard to stop myself from becoming a hermit, not physically, but psychologically.

Another hot day

June 13, 2005

The weather is just being too HOT. I do not know who I have heard from that summer in Saratoga Springs is not hot. This is absolutely wrong! Staying in a dorm without AC is a big challenge, which tests one抯 heat tolerance capacity. I miss my air-conditioned HOME. It might be true that not many students are staying on campus during the summer, and summer time in Saratoga is relatively short. Nevertheless, I still think it is really dumb that Skidmore does not install AC in all resident halls. I believe Skidmore definitely has the financial ability to make this change, so let抯 make it happen (just saying it)!

Just finished dinner. I have gained the freshmen 15 as a result of eating full meals three times a day. I can feel the fattness on my stomach, on my legs and on my arms. I remembered that I only weighted 103 last year. The amount of food I ate at that time is probably less than a meal I am having each day right now. Although so many people are complaining that D-hall food sucks, and I am agreeing with them. Then why I am eating more than enough all the time? Cheese cake, ice cream, general-tsao chicken, fried steak, they are just not easy to avoid.

Sitting outside with my laptop, and enjoying the natural breeze. Now is much cooler compare to the noon time. It had reached till 90 degree at that time. Luckily I was working in Case center so I was actually feeling freezing in there. What is wrong with the people that they either set the temperature extremely cool or just totally ignore the fact that people are actually suffering in no AC-conditioned dorms.

Early shift again tomorrow, then I will get two days off. My weekend is not on weekend anymore. We continue to kill our time by playing online games and reading.

Picture sharing ^_^
