秋末随笔

下雪了。

点点飞雪而已,比较象碎冰。

不是第一次看到下雪。但,还是有点点喜悦。

Juggling between four different paper topics and life. Reality sometimes gets blurred…

Had dinner with some classmates recently. And a third-year phd peppered the conversation with warnings against getting sucked into the phd route, citing the high divorce rates, low pay and also the reality that it takes at least 6 to 7 years before one is likely graduate. That is a darn long time.

不知是不是因为冬天将近。心情最近都有些闷闷。也许因为老闷在家里吧。

但,最近平都很疼惜我。有时,看着他,会觉得,我其实什么都有了。有个家,家里有个人,不管怎样都会照顾我,对我好。这就是实在的。其他的,都是虚的。不是吗?

人,也就如此,没有什么理由可以不开心了。

just received the news of the south street bridge closure that is going to wreck serious traffic damage for 24 months. Ugh. And we will be residing here for 8 of those months.

South street bridge is a main artery linking university city and center city. And it means we have to take a longer route to the asian market plus that there’s going to be serious jams along walnut and chestnut, the two streets bookending us.

And somehow, the bridge closure and its effects highlights the reality of life that sometimes seems just like a dream….
