What's my major+a little bit thought at depression

Since Hanqi gave up a biochemistry full scholarship PhD offer and decided to study Food Policy and Applied Nutrition in Tufts, the whole family is really upset about her decision, especially her grandfather, a professor teaching biochemistry in the hospital. He thought Hanqi betrayed the science world.

Scenario 1: One day, he asked Hanqi.

Grandfather: Hanqi, what are you going to learn in US
Hanqi: Nutrition
Grandfather: Sigh... After so many years education, you finally become a CHEF!
Hanqi: ...

After half an year studying in Friedman, Hanqi decided to focus on Humanitarian assistance.

Scenario 2: One day, her friend asked Hanqi

Friend: Hanqi, what are you learning in US?
Hanqi: Food Distribution
Friend: Are you delivering lunch boxes on the street
Hanqi: I want to bite you

Sometimes, it is hard to explain my major, especially for the people in my hometown. It is not typical Chinese majors, like previous popular majors: Math, statistics, CS, EE; or like now: business, economy, finance.
Sometimes, we ask ourselves: Why am I different from others?
The answer is: Why do you need to be the same as others?

My major, is like my parents I love, the friends I am proud of, religion and my life style. I can push myself to be nice, but I can not push myself to love. I enjoy myself to be "different" and I also enjoy myself to be "common", if the choice is deep from my heart.

Recently, I am under depression (if you did not find, I am hiding, haha) from some aspects of my life, so as some friends. A Chinese poet wrote, "if your heart is controlled by outside, why are you still surprised that you are miserable? "

One of my close friend quoted, "Love as often as you can. Dance like nobody's watching. Travel. Eat. Try new foods because, like my character says, you never know what's coming for you and when it's time to let go, you got to let go."

"When it's time to let go, you got to let go"

We will all overcome

Thanks for my friends who support me

25 random things about me

1.I am not a communist and I DO NOT worship Chairman Mao Everyday. The only political organization I have ever joined is Youth Group. So, Crazy Alan, do not ask me the same question every time you are chatting with me.

2.I like drawing smile faces on oranges. It is my habit from high school. I used the face on orange to exchange the feeling with my "desk-sharing" classmate.

3.I admit I have low taste. And, I am proud of it. Human being is beautiful, being perfect is boring.

4.I grow up in an air force community with my grandmother. My parents visited me 10 days every 2 years in turn. Without my parents’ accompany, I still feel my childhood is very happy.

5.I applied Urdu, a Central Indo-Aryan language, as my first choice for college. I want to be a journalist in the War zone. However, I did not get admit. The reason they rejected me is too many girls applying and they want to balance the ration of boys and girls.

6.I feel very comfortable in Friedman. It is my safe zone.

7.I am more lazy than other people thought

8.I got nervous when I talk to people, especially in English. If you did not find I am nervous because I am hiding.

9.If you smile to me, I will walk closer to you
If you walk closer to you, I will run closer to you, haha

10.I did not expect I could make friends in Friedman school. But now I do!

11.I am OK to tea and I hate Chinese Medicine. When I was little, I got pneumonia. My mother gave antibiotic when she was there. But later my grandmother does not like western medicine, cut off my antibiotic and feed me with Chinese medicine. Then the pneumonia turned into severe lung infection. From that, I am not a herb person.

12.I got severe insomnia last semester. And it is still on this semester. I hope I could get sleep every night before 1:00 AM

13.Sometimes, I found the world is a mess.
Sometimes, I found what we do to the world is so limited
Sometimes, I found a little bit change is better than nothing
Sometimes, I found the little bit change might harm the local community. What they need is not what we provide; what we provide might bring harm to them
In all, the most important thing is to make you happy

14.I failed in calculus in college, the second time I took it I got a C. You can not get everything you want in your life

15.I like the man whose smile is warm and always walk outside of the road to keep me inside

16.I love my parents and they love me more. They think they owe me a lot because of the separation but I think, they do not

17.I have two facebooks. One is Chinese, the other is English. Everyday, I spent extra time on facebooks. And I log in gtalk all day long. It is a bad habit. I knew, but I never change.

18.I took many humanitarian classes in complex emergencies, though I do not know what it is even now. But I am keeping taking it and I do not know why.

19.I do not make HUGE Mistake, but I make small errors every day

20.I want to spend my summer in Sudan. If possible, I will not go back to China this summer. If back, my mother will beat me.

21.I got mad about my English. It did not improve although I have been in US for 7 months. I hope I could make progress this year

22.I felt very offended when some people unrealistically accuse China. However, it is only their personal opinion. My high school teacher told me “I do not agree with you, but I use my life to guard your right of speaking”

23.I love Tristy’s radio. After that, I decide to buy a radio for myself.

24.I lived with 5 other roommates in a single roommate for 4 year in college. I love and respect them a lot. One of my roommate from a remote village, never drink milk and touch computer before college. Every year, she got National Scholarship and work part time to cover all the expenses. Now she is a PhD in Chemistry. In my last day of college, she wrote my memory book: “you always bring me to your home, but I never bring you to my hometown; Every vacation I want to bring you there, but it is so poor, I am afraid you will judge me” I cried a lot on that.

25.My freshman year is a mess. I failed 2 classes, fought with family because of first bf and finally broke up with my first bf. Boys in my programs hate me (they became like me after 3 years), I hate my major Chemistry and because of my F in two classes I can not transfer. I screwed up the relation with family, made my study a mess, and wanted to quit school. Finally, I overcome it. From that, I think, I could record past, forget, and Move on

怀念饭岛同学

新年前夕,摘抄几段佳文,谨以此怀念

1、有的人活着.但他却死了.有的人死了.但她却活在人们的硬盘中。。  
    她的一生是躺下去又站起来,再躺下去再站起来的一生,她累了,今天她永远的躺下去了……     

2、伟大的人体艺术家,室内竞技的佼佼者,宅男的偶像,著名的AV女优,饭岛爱小姐不幸身亡。      

3、耶酥这么多年来收到的最好的圣诞礼物!   

二堤虾田:虽然这样的调侃方式对死者不尊重,但不得不承认这家伙太有才了 

4、 少不更事的时候看不懂AV,总带着生理冲动去看。随着年纪长大,才充分的体会到日本AV电影人的伟大以及他们艺术创作的艰辛。近些年再看AV,经常感动的 我热泪盈眶,并在看后引起我深深的思索。不是缺少美,而是缺少发现。很多人用色情的眼光去看待AV艺术,认为那完全只是低级的色情。其实只要用心,你就能 发现其中晦涩严肃的哲学命题和人文关怀。众所周知,日本AV电影的特点都是,女演员长的都很天使,很美很纯。而和她们演对手戏的男子,往往老丑委琐,让人 恶心。所以,AV的一个普遍的主题寓意于这样的角色安排之中。本来,日本人的民族性格就严肃唯美而又略显悲观,他们拍AV的目的不在于以色情内容取悦观 众,而是把一个人类永恒的真相用一种刺激残酷的方式表现出来。天使一样的女优,代表人类娇嫩脆弱的自由、尊严和理想。而欺辱她们的男人,很显然是暗示又老 又丑的命运。而AV电影结尾女主角往往被射在脸上,个人认为这应该是代表命运对人类尊严和品格的最无情的嘲弄与践踏。人生永远要被命运欺辱,每个人生下 来,心里的美好、纯真、高贵的东西都会在命运面前丧失殆尽。说到这里,大家对AV的悲剧性主题应该多少有所了解。日本AV的另外一个特点就是XX时女性的 叫声。从生理的角度这些非常消魂的叫声让人情不自禁的产生冲动。但是如果大家换一个方式,用我前文所描述的那种思维方式去听这种叫声,你就会有苍凉悲壮的 感受,以及对人类勇气由衷的敬佩之心。从叫声的角度,可以说,AV电影是另外一种形式的《老人与海》,你可以欺辱我,但是你永远不能阻止我呻吟的权力。 人,生下来,就意味呻吟。

罗子语:最后一个很令我感动。如果你看过饭岛同学的自传,你会明白。一个优资学生,因为受不了父母的体罚和精神折磨,堕落,当AV女,最后在主持界有了自己一片天,终于和父母和解,得到了对方的谅解。最终却已死亡收场

贴个视频上去,很感人的故事。

  这个故事和饭岛同学的共同点是,他们告诉了我们,You Can Shine. 无论是聋子学小提琴还是丑小鸭演AV

晚安,孩子们

小肯尼迪上议员给我回了信

背景知识熟悉美国政治的同学自动跳过此节):此肯尼迪议员不是遇刺的那个肯尼迪,是遇刺肯尼迪他弟。他是麻州选出来的美国国会的深资上议员(也叫参议员)。美国的政策是每个州选出两个议员,一个是senior senator (就是比较深资的那个议员),一个是junior senator (就是相对的小议员啦)。然后这两个议员代表此州进入上议院。 麻州的另一个议员就是大名鼎鼎的竞选总统失败的参议员克里啦。虽然说美国选总统和俺们没有什么直接关系,但是肯尼迪议员来自俺支持的奥巴马的民主党 (Democrat),再加上他多年前死了兄弟,属于政治斗争的受害者,我对他还是比较有好感的。

 

课堂知识 (熟悉罗子课堂内容的同学自动跳过此节)这学期选了一门课, Public Policy, 讲的是美国政治。教课的教授以前在美国农业部当过深资雇员,也是民主党一派的,非常著名的Farm Bill (扶持美国农业的著名法案,估计和我们国家的三农政策差不多)就是她起草的。我们在这门课里面就是学会美国政治运作的各个环节,从法案的撰写,法案的通 过,法案的推广,最高法院的作用,预算的内容,国际机构的作用等等。

 

俺们老师估计年轻的时候不走愤青路线,走高层路线。大 学的时候就是那个遇刺肯尼迪的实习生 (传说中的白宫实习生啊),就一个小实习生,接待了一个在AT&T的挤兑下的小电信公司,撰写的法案备忘录 (俺不知道怎么翻译,就是一个bill的memo),那个法案竟然奇迹般的通过了,然后那个电信公司变成现在美国电信巨头Verizon...我大学的时 候还不知道躲到哪个小工厂做污水处理了,瞧瞧人家走高层路线的就是不一样,放中国来一定说她被谁“潜规则”了。后来布什代表的共和党 (Republic)上台,俺们教授就沦落到俺们学校教书了。

 

正文部分: 废话半天,现在切入正题。俺老师上第一节说了,我这门课的目的不是让你们考高分,而是让你们都成为Active citizens. 就留下作业,给上议员或下议员写一封信。当时俺都蒙了,关键是不知道下议员是representative,没有反应过来senator是上议员,不知道 哪找他们去,不明白给他们写信干啥。最后向可爱可亲的TA--Melissa小姐哭诉,终于完成了给肯尼迪同学的信。我的信的内容是要求肯尼迪向国会提议 在印度北部进行HIV的调查。

 

两周过去了,俺老师在班上问,有没有人接到回信啊。一名幸运的同学接到了回信。

 

陆陆续续更多同学接到了回信...

 

俺是暗自着急。俺房东过来告诉我,肯尼迪同学得了脑肿瘤了,叫我别报太大希望。俺说,是肯尼迪雇员回,又不是肯尼迪本人回,别说得了脑肿瘤,就是进了太平间也没有事。

 

两个月过去了,就当我已经把这件事遗忘的时候。今天早上收到一封不明邮件,当时差点当垃圾邮件给处理掉。打开一看,肯尼迪同学给我的回信啊!得了脑肿瘤还给我回的信啊!

 

senator@kennedy.senate.gov to Hanqi

Dear Ms. Luo:

 

Thank you for your letter on our nation's role in the global battle against AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. These are three of the most devastating diseases facing people throughout the world, and strong action by our country is clearly needed.

 

All three of these diseases have no borders and they kill up to 6 million people a year. As a nation with ample financial and human resources, I agree that we have a moral obligation to do our part to help those combating these illnesses. I'm proud to have been a sponsor of the United States Global Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria Reauthorization Act of 2008, which authorizes funds to help foreign countries address the problems arising from an increased prevalence of each of these diseases. On July 16, 2008 this bill passed in the Senate by an overwhelming vote of 80-16, and I look forward to its enactment very soon.

 

Again, I appreciate your concern for those suffering from AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. I strongly believe in confronting this global issue, and I value your view in this fundamental issue.

 


Sincerely,
Edward M. Kennedy

 

总结部分 : 其实这篇日志也属于标题党,虽然我们觉得议员高不可攀,但是他的这个议员办公室回复率还是蛮高的。 根据俺们其他同学分享的回复,其中驴唇不对马嘴,模式话的回复也为数不少。整体回复率截止到现在大约有30%~50%。 不光是写给议员,如果你写给总统,他为了让你以后给他投票,回复率也不会少。所以拿到总统啊,议员啊,部长之类的回信根本代表不了什么,几乎都会回复。 俺们老师的洗脑式授课还是有一定作用的,让俺觉得,如果俺积极, active,俺就可以在美国政治决策中起到一定的作用 (不知美国人的American is the center of the world的态度是不是从此而来)。 虽然这门课我的成绩不好,上课听不懂,讨论讨论不进去,但是还是觉得蛮好玩的,现在又有同学加了我study group, 感觉好了多。

 

政治内部消息: 写到最后才是关键部分,哈哈哈~我狡猾吧~ 在奥巴马选上总统的两周后,俺老师在课上给俺们透露了内部消息。八年前,共和党上台,民主党在野,俺们老师被挤兑到俺们学校教书。现在奥巴马上台了,民主 党翻身了。奥巴马组织自己的政治实力,马上给俺老师发出邀请要求她进入执政层 (好快啊~)。 俺们老师说,可能过两天就跑到DC当官去了。有一个问题就是,俺老师是俺们两名TA的导师,她去当官可能TA的论文就成了问题。

 

两名博士生的回应:

快毕业的大博士说,反正现在经济不好,毕业了也找不到工作,早毕业两年,晚毕业两年都一样。

离毕业比较远的小博士说: 虽然现在有人指导很好,但是毕业了有人在DC当官也好,没准俺也进美国农业部了呢。

 

罗子的回应: 去当官吧,以后我就有的炫耀了

 

其中罗子动机最不纯洁

 

祝大家周末愉快,罗子还有一个memo,一个大作业,一个presentation在感恩节前要交,哈

P.S. 周婷婷说,人品不好就要孤立,才能形成自然选择的社会风气,对社会是有利的。罗子深觉如是
