I was waiting for so long For a miracle to come Everyone told me to be strong Hold on and don't shed a tear Through the darkness and good times I knew I'd make it through And the world thought I had it all But I was waiting for you Hush, love I see a light in the sky Oh, it's almost blinding me I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love Let the rain come down and wash away my tears Let it fill my soul and drown my fears Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun A new day has...come Where it was dark now there's light Where there was pain now there's joy Where there was weakness, I found my strength All in the eyes of a boy Hush, love I see a light in the sky Oh, it's almost blinding me I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love Let the rain come down and wash away my tears Let it fill my soul and drown my fears Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun A new day has...come A new day has...come Ohhh, a light... OOh 3 janvier some feelings i was just back from katrina disaster relieve team and got a letter from Carla- my teammate. i felt really touched while reading her letter. So i can not wait writting down my uneasy feelings and sharing with u. I really learned a lot from this trip, not exaggeratly, it could change my attitude toward life. Through the whole trip, i thought i was a quiet person, but a good observer, deeping down inside. This is the first time i thought i was in the real american culture, experiencing the true american life. i worked in college team. The average team age, i guess, is no more than 25, even most of them are below 21. We lived and worked together the whole day. We fixed 2 houses during the 4 days, but not completely. The first house we repaired is a kind of nasty. the air inside house was filled with dusts, even we could not breathe with mask on. we did insulation for that house by puting fiber glass on. Then for some reason, we removed to another house next day. This house was better than the previous one, i mean for environment. the rest of days, we finshed covering plastic over insulation, and part of dry wall. The work was not hard, but it took quite long time and needed the cohesion of the whole team. We saw the walls which needed flushing, and know how to us the driller, screw driver, measurement. The most important of all was the spirit of the whole team. we worked with lots of joys and happiness. americans really have good humer sences than i could imagine, trying to make the entire work fun. Even i just finished a trivial stuff, they always came to me, saying" a great job" even though i though i did nothing.
I felt so sad when i saw the whole city was totally destroyed, and it is still in recovering process. The trees were dead cs of being submerge under the over-salty ocean carried by katrina. Many people moved to another place due to this hurricane, the whole city seemed empty and quite, in poverty. i was kind of shocked by this sight. The homeowner was an africa-american guy who was over 60. He is living in trailer which is next to his home. he was so moved when he saw that many volunteers wanna help them out in the name of honor god. his grandson waited for us every morning, even he got up at 7 am. They told me that it would cost them at least $5000. we, however, helped them out for free, even offering suppliers. most of the teammates almost cried when we had to leave the last day. we told that kid that more and more groups would continue to help them out, that was also the reason why we were here. The scene was really touching and the memory would not fade away.
It was really a good, and indelible experience for me. I got hurt and sick. some small pieces of wood went into my palm, and i took 3 cold showers, at that time, i thought, oh, my goodness, it was really horrible, i could not bear it. truly, life not always goes our way. phsically, the whole enviornment was terrible, but i felt the spirit of american culture. it was really cool for me. The first time i went to a christian bar called houses blues. Every teammate seemed crazy about rock. They could not stop shaking their bodies, speaking out their church names, and were really in faith of god. We hang out at the downtown of New orlead, went to cafe, doing some crazy stuff. Even poped the whole plate of suger on a girl's face. we tried to find happiness even to entertain ourselves. I was teased by sb else several times, but i like it. In the nightm they toasted the mashmallows over the camping fire and this was the first time i knew that mashmallows can be eaten in that way! They formed a rock band and played in the night. Crazy guys, haha
Some people really impressed me. such as Kelly-an easygoing person who alway smiles and says hi to everybody she meets. everyday, she gave me a big hug and encouraged me to work hard. Erren is american boy, being a leader of our team, who was very talktive and had an excellent ability to lead the whole team go ahead. They always consider other people's feeling first, which really shocked me. I thought that most of americans are kind of sel-fish, but for them, others' feelingsalway comes first, very thoughtul.
I wrote a lot about my feelings and later if i could, i'd like to post my teammate's feelings here.
By the way, happy new year, being bless through the whole and has a powerful life. 12 décembre thx annoucement: i really wanna write in chinese, i am kind of lazy to download english sofeware, so keep it in english
well, today i called my best friend in BUAA( bei hang), once she was my roommate. We kept talking to each other for almost an hour, therefore i missed most part of the class. But it worth for me. She encouraged me a lot and told me lots of funny things happened in our university, which really made me feel happy. She told me how to protect myself being hurt and how to find happiness around us. Hehe , she always treat me like her little sister and i really appreciated it.We exchanged our ideas and thoughts, cs we knew that we could understand each other. Just feel glad after finished talking, luckily i got her.
I am grateful for all friends who back me up. friendship is mutiplying joys and dividing grief. The longer time is, the stronger it grows. As a saying goes: a friend in need is a friend indeed.

12 novembre some feelings最近一段时间 ,虽然不是很忙,但是也是懒得写日志.有人曾告诉我,不写日志的原因就是觉得让别人读出自己的心思是一件很可怕的事情.我想:这人的城府也深的可以.敢于把自己的心情表达出来的孩子,大部分也都还是感性的吧.想了很多,只是迟迟没有写出来.美国的生活是单调的,每个人都会有自己的生活圈子,习惯了孤单,没有了外界的诱惑,学习便是每天生活的主题.怀念以前朋友在身边的日子,无论是高中还是在北航,真实而又美好.(这多半也和我的学校中国人少的可怜有关系)但是还是告诉自己,既然选择了这条路,总要付出代价的,再苦再累,也要走下去.美国的大考,小考多的要死,2星期考一次,有时候一周都有考试.令我没想到的,美国同学相当重视成绩,他们会用各种手段去争取高分.不懂的问题一定不会拖,在课堂上从来不会给老师留面子.他们的敢说敢想,极强的口头表达能力,演讲能力确实让我震撼.以前仗着自己自以为优秀的理科成绩而高人一等,现在,看看也不过是井底之蛙,论见识,论能力,论成绩,这世界能人太多. 刚才看了朋友的blog,就有了很多的感想.大家都在变化,当然变化的代价自己最清楚.突然一瞬间,感觉到人的心理真是很微妙,时刻都在被周围环境所牵动.回想以前,激情和冲动真是年轻人特有的特征, 以前对每一件不公平的事耿耿于怀,现在居然相当的适应.社会的法则, 既然不能更改,那就只有适应了.中国人际关系的复杂, 体现在各个方面,商业,政治,关系网之庞大也真是可畏,现在想想,这也是理所当然,想在社会的竞技场上立于不败,没有手段,能力谈何容易.中国的社会体系导致的就是这样的结果.学校的校园环境相对是单纯的,在这里,没有彼此利益的冲突,有的只是=单纯的友谊,执着的理想.有时候,觉得很遗憾,没有享受完真正的大学生活,就来到了这个陌生的国度,为所谓的理想而奋斗,可是快乐么?只有自己知道了. 不知道距离的遥远会不会让我们觉得生疏,1年之后再见,会不会让彼此觉得像陌生人.友谊会不会永不变质,这一切都在等待时间来抉择.希望答案是:不是.---to friends 迟来的问候, to LI WEN , happy birthday, you turned to be 20 which means a lot to you, sorry that i forgot it, but still i treasure the moments we shared together, hope that everything is good. 23 août I am too tired today...Yeterday I took classes from 7:30 am to 9:30pm, which drove me crazy. It reminded me of the days when I was preparing for entrance examination to university in China.Today, I have English class(801A) which is advanced and is designed especially for american students. This is the first time I felt ashamed of my poor English Writing and Listening skills. I would have been in ESL(English as Second language) class, but I took the wrong assessment test. Then I took a big leap in to this English class even though my english did not reach the level of American students. There is little chance for me now to change to ESL as lectures have already started and I will get poor grade If I switch now. So I have no choice but to accept it and do my best. I must try very hard to keep up with the American students as I don't want poor grades to show to my Future school.
I have also volunteered to be Math Tutor. After which I can get On-Campus job which means a lot to me. My Supervisor is very smart, but also a little strict. But I can learn lot from him and it will prove beneficial in the future.
