New Title

"Congratulation." the advisor said.
 
I had been waiting for this day for ten years. However I feel no excitement after I get the degree. Today is just a point of the lifetime learning; and the title Doctor of Philosophy is a summary of the accumulated learning results so far. It does not come to me suddenly instead I have to approach to it inch by inch.

I go home earlier today and have some lettuce and bread for lunch. Then I take a nap, like I am on a lazy Saturday. Standing in a two-hour presentation made me stiff in the waist.

In the afternoon I cancelled the schedule the trip to Lake Johnson because of the cloudy weather. Maybe I can play some games. I dust off the beloved handheld and turn it on, but find there is no new game available. I have to wait for one month for Lego City Undercover. Then I turn on the laptop and log in Skype and MSN. It had been a while since last time I connected to the internet for fun so early. Perhaps I can meet someone at this unusual time.

“Fool, what do you expect for?” I ask myself.  “Sometimes the relationship is more fragile than the cherry flowers.”

Recognizing that a new title should match a strong mind, I delete a contact. At this moment, I feel I have been released from an endless waiting. I pick up the bag and drive to the library. Starting from this evening my schedule will be as usual as it used to be.
