inter Spem et Metum

It's been a long time...


I am almost down these days. I never dreamt of such a busy life, thought most of it, frankly speaking, served me right...

I got contact with my cousin, who stayed in Japan for art study, on QQ yesterday. Befrore we exchanged enough regards to each other, she throw a real-hot task for me-to translate several chapters of a Japanese book on psychology into Chinese. It was so urgent that the speed rather than the total quality was to be taken into consideration.

Anyhow I accept this task that seems A LITTLE BIT CRAZY:no:. In Fact I am now tasked another tanslation work including translation of the OpenCourseWare of Genetics in Kyoto University as well as another OpencCourseWare, Cognitive Neuroscience in MIT to be translated into Chinese. Fortunately, these 2 tasks turns to be required not so urgently, Moreover, I've applied to exempt from attendance to my submajor Japanese, which I still don't want to give up. I'd like this translation work to be as a keep-fit to retain my conditions in the language of Japanese.

It's quite changable when warm breeze started to remove all of your thick garments.But I could sense an ominous feel this afternoon.And thst seem to be true.I am now blocked in the lab,raining cats&dogs outside.I don't wanna challenge cycling back only to get a whole change,so I just take this short time writing,hoping the pour won't last that long.

During the seminar the day before yesterday,I witnessed our boss:devil: pushed another girl into tears.By another I mean that was for the second time since I started the rotation-like work in the lab.

Strictly he didn't use any words,although I can tell the little bit threat within.However,it might be a common skill only for bosses:devil: to push his guys down.But sometimes I guess,that as in a position of P.I.,he is obliged byhimeself to be like that.

It is undoubtedly perfect that working under a boss both rich:wizard: and nice:cheers: ,but that will absolutely be a real rat race to be under that guy.If I am asked to make choice,I'd rather choose the former.Anyway,some of we students are very skilled in the battle with pervert bosses:devil: somehow,but hardly any could deal with poverty.

The boss:devil: had just returned from a conference trip to Italy.From there when he was dealing with his allowance,I guess,he just took out 1 or 2 Euro to buy a packet of chocolates,which he put out to us before seminar began.Well,another appropriate instance for that "Stick and Carrot" approach.

After all reports were given,he showed off photos of him taken in Milano and somewhere else.I was just impressed by three findings however:first was the incredible beauty of Milano,second was the clumsy skill of photography and last but not least,the nasty guy appeared in the center.

I am now beginnig to believe that dust to dust,all leaves to the root,and all rains drops love earth.Get going for a dance in the rain...
