A Thanksgiving Day

Today is Thanksgiving Day. The library and the gym are closed as well as grocery stores. In a particular day like today, I try something different. First, I made a breakfast.
French Toast, Sausage (No Preservative) and Hot Chocolate

The Beginning of the End

I completed the oral prelim on Friday. Joe said he had not heard anyone who can complete it in two hours. Even so, I don’t feel relaxed. The job market is open, but I haven’t finished my job market paper. I don’t know why I did not figure out this last year so that I could finish it in this summer. The oral prelim is just the beginning of the end. Challenges are still there.

Cowardly Lion

While stepping out of the gym, I found it is raining.The heavy rain refreshed the air. Now it smells fresh and cool. But I remembered the clothes hung on the garment rack in the balcony might get wet. It really irritated me. I kept my life simple to move forward with papers for the doctorate degree and the job. But there are always bad surprises waiting. I've cancelled any trip in this year. I thought I could go to visit New York and watch the opera in Broadway in October. Now all are put off.

All about Supply and Demand


Last month I searched for apartments with one-bed rooms or studios in Raleigh and north Cary. Most one-bed rooms were not available, especial those with reasonable rent rates. Those that were vacant have steep rates. The leasing companies didn't need to worry about that since lots of perspective customers would come to Raleigh soon. Raleigh is growing so the housing cost increases year by year.

隱之里---雛鳥回巢

最終,他還是回到這裡,帶著一身創傷,失落,與更堅強的心智。

Looking for Uniqueness


July 4th (Wed.) ~ 6th (Fri.) 2012

      Maybe it is because I prefer uniqueness and history, this trip to Charleston impressed me so much. Unlike any other major cities well-known by international tourists, Charleston in South Carolina is famous among Americans. 

I arrived Charleston on July 4th.

2012暑假

以為睡一覺醒來,會發現原來要搭機回美國其實是做夢,其實還有幾天才要離開。然後可以和這一個月來一樣,早上到健身中心;下午到麥當勞看書喝咖啡;晚飯後就到附近書店逛逛,或是和家人聊天。

但這不是夢。我得搭機回美國了。要繼續我的研究,撰寫論文,過著朝九晚十的生活。稱不上痛苦,但和在家裡羽翼下的日子,相差實在太多。日子流逝飛快,美好的日子更是如此。才剛回家,為何就要離開?
