清晨阳光明媚，在紫禁城北墙下，倾视护城河中西北角塔楼倒影。阳光透过翠绿
的垂柳，投射到河心，使得水面波光闪烁。那轮廓模糊的倒影，仿佛也在日光下
添加了几分清幽的光彩⋯⋯

Words : Chinese : 我们应当留住历史

Uploaded an old Chinese essay from 2005, written a few months before the Yulan one. I wanted to upload another one that I wrote one year ago, but I couldn’t find it on my computer. It’s strange, I have the folder and all researches associated with the paper but just not the actual paper. I hope that I didn’t accidentally delete it (I spent so much time/effort on writing it). I will have to check my old desktop when I go back home during Winter Break.

Apparently I accidentally bleached my beloved shower gown while doing laundry. Why does this always happen?! I suppose I never really figured out how to correctly use bleach (how sad), because every time I try to clean a dirty spot or just add a bit of bleach to the whole laundry (after the clothes are soaked first, of course, following the instruction on the back of the product…) I end up bleaching a few of the non-targeted clothes… Well, now I have another reason to hate doing laundry.

Fall Break is coming up this weekend, so I’m waiting…and waiting. I got unreasonably excited about planning out my next 2 weeks this afternoon. I was originally going to take a 30-40 min nap before my last class, but somehow I ended up spending the whole time on writing in my planner…crazy. So now the time slots for my next week or two are completely filled with things-to-do in different color writings — I doubt I’ll be able to accomplish half of them though.

Well, again I got very distracted this evening while studying…so I still haven’t finished going over the notes for Thursday’s Classical Studies exam, which I should have started studying for last week instead of today. All the distractions are due to the anticipation of designing multiple websites (that will hopefully happen, at least according to my planner) during this Fall Break. In addition to my personal goal of trying to revive this blog (and make a new layout for it), I got surprising offers to join several organizations on campus as webmaster/designer. I haven’t done web design in a while, and I’ve never considered myself as a good designer, so I was shocked upon receiving those offers. I still don’t get how some of the people who recommended me knew that I can build websites (and I’m positive that they have never visited K-net). Strange.

Upgrading to the newest version of WP — I don’t think I’ve upgraded before, so I have no idea what’s going on…o.O

Self-reminders:
1. Rewrite theme to fit the new WP version
2. Or…make a new theme? (not sure how long that will take)
3. Change site name…

Edit// As much as I wanted to get my own theme, I’m afraid that this site will be stuck with the simple WP default until later next week… I just realized that I have a paper due for Ecology & Evolution (the same day I have an exam in that class…I can’t believe the professor scheduled that), and bunch of chapters to read for Plant Community of NC, in addition to the two exams coming up next week. Grrr. The real problem is that I’m going on a three day field trip to the coastal plain this weekend (for my plant class), so I doubt that I’ll get any work done during it. Well…I hope that the weather will be nice and hot, so at least I’d be able to go swimming, or if we have break times, I might get to go canoing! We’ll be staying at the Duke Marine Lab at Beaufort, NC, where I took my Summer Term I last year. I had so much fun back then, so despite all the works, I’m glad that I’ll be returning to Beaufort. =)
