She is a Beijing girl.  She was born and raised there until 2004 when she came to the U of I.  Our dangerously under-populated community came as a surprise to her, but she's gotten used to it, though she feels more at home in big cities like New York.  The city animal inside her yearns to be immersed among people.  She loves that squirrels and people have learned to live together here.  It's almost a symbiotic relationship.  We provide them with food thrown carelessly on the ground, and they provide us with speed bumps.

Being a fan of cooking and exercise, She fills her spare time with such activities.  She and her former roommate did yoga, and she and her husband enjoy squash, badminton, and tennis (which would explain the crazy skills she was showing off at Wii Tennis during game night).  Cooking serves as relaxation.  It also gives her a chance to get some quality Chinese food without having to go out all the time. 

She and her husband are both avid travelers.  They visited a number of national parks last year: Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon (whoo!), Zion, and Arches.  Much like Superman drawing power from the yellow Sun, she finds peace through scenic nature. 

 

     The spotlight of the newsletter this week in our lab is me. I was requested to write somthing about myself. Bryce and Senera will dig out the interesting part of me.

 

 

 

 

         It is my first time to go to Europe, or more exactly, mid-Europe. I love those cities very much. The style is totally different from American's. Those cities are full of story, and full of memory.  When you wander in the imperial park, visit the palaces of the king and queens, look at the old stuffs that were used at that time, and read the old documents, the old times of the magnificent and luxury life of the king and queen arrive. You could imagine their lives, their happyniess and sadness, and those old times.

     虽然物过境迁，但那山依旧是那山，那树依旧是那样的茂盛，房子依旧在那里。 它们承载了整个城市兴衰，也将整个城市的故事代代相传，不光在当地居民的心理，也在游客的心里，留下了印记。

     For Vienna, I knew that, sisi pricess is not as happy as people thought.

     For Salzburg, I knew that, Mozart is born to be a talent. How brilliant and talented he is!

     For Munich, it is a reconstructed city. World War II and Adolf Hitler changed the city a lot.

 

    More about Vienna:

 

In Vienna, sis museum is the most impressive one. I knew Sisi from the famous movie ‘Sisi Princess’. In my impression, she is a beautiful, elegant and lovely girl and she is a lucky girl with a perfect love. She should live a happy life with her prince. In fact, the documents and records in the museum told us a different story. She doesn’t like her life in the imperial palace at all. She felt no freedom and lonely all the times.  In the latter year of her life, she wears a veil all the times and keeps distance with other people, especially the strangers. She was not welcomed when she was alive. Ironically, after she died, people began to miss her very much. I saw lots of souvenirs about Sisi in Vienna. The museum disclosed the real life of Sisi in the history from her outfits, her living places and the diary she wrote. If you are interested in it, you can’t miss it.

 

In addition, the beauty of king’s lake (Lake Konigssee) and Neuschwanstein Castle are the ones you must have a look if you go to the border between Munich and Austria. 

In all, I love the Europe trip very much.

 

In the newletter, it was paraphrased as 'The Sisi museum showcases the life of Empress Elisabeth, whose tragic life has long since made her a cult figure. '

 

 

  

      照片这东西不过是生命的碎壳，纷纷的岁月已过去，瓜子仁一粒粒咽下去，滋味各人自己知道，留给大家看的惟有那满地狼藉的黑白的瓜子壳。

（1） 婚纱照

    拍结婚照，是结婚的一件大事。之前，在网上看了很多的结婚照，还有朋友的结婚照，虽然每对新人摆的姿势差不多，但那满脸灿烂的笑容会将每对新人年轻、美丽的容貌和喜悦的心情定格在那一瞬间。 我还记得小朱曾经有一句对婚纱照很经典的评述：婚纱照是女人对美丽最极致的幻想。 所以，我挺期待拍婚纱照的。 

    拍照片其实看两个因素，一个是化妆的水平；一个是摄影师的技术和构思。虽然后期处理技术越来越完善，但摄像器材的好坏和摄影师的水平还是很重要的。  所以，我开始一直说要在北京拍，就是觉得大城市的水平会高一些。 后来，我在55BBS上看到，其实好多北京人现在都选择去江南一些地方拍，而且放在网上的照片也不差，价格也不贵，所以最终确定在老公的家乡宁波拍摄。  老公的妹妹非常帮忙，做事干净利索，帮我们定了巴黎春天在宁波的分店，总共7套服装+2个外景，店里的一级摄影师。

    拍摄那天，天气不算太热，摄影师和两个助手，跟同我们一天， 从早上8点到晚上8点。 我们拍摄地点先在宁波的外滩，干净，整洁，有异国情调的建筑，还有一两个中式的建筑，那边的餐馆布局都很别致，想必菜做得也很精致，但由于时间关系，我们没能来得及在那里坐坐。

    摄影师是杭州人，让我们叫他小白。一个助理是从廊坊过来的，看来宁波对外地人的吸引力也很大的。我挺喜欢宁波的，空气比北京好，北京有的，宁波也有，甚至我还看到了北京没有的。比如，sephora，美国买化妆品的店，我在宁波看见了，但没在北京看见。第二点，交通便利。到繁华的地方，坐车10几分钟就到了，不像北京，到那都要做好久的车。第三点，吃了很多海鲜。我发现自己挺爱吃海鲜的，尤其宁波现在流行小龙虾，虽然这是早几年北京流行过的，但我不怎么敢吃，因为总是说小龙虾是阴沟里养殖的。想想北京也不靠水，吃小龙虾的危险性还是太大，所以我以前吃的很少。可宁波，是个靠海的地方，所以我开始放心大胆的吃了。妹妹带我们去了好多地方吃饭，现在想想还意有未尽呢!

     跑题了，回到拍照中。拍照的总体宗旨是体现每对新人甜蜜、亲密。我们的拍摄是中规中矩，摄影师让我们怎么做，我们就怎么做。每个小场景会有一个小主题，比如在港口约会，喝茶，饮酒，求婚，喜结良缘等，拍照的姿势也程式化了，我只记得摄影师总是说，把脸侧一下，头在抬高一下，一般摄影不是总拍你的正面，因为这样会使整个片子构图过于平面。所以婚纱照里有很多我们侧面的照片。在拍的时候，如果你有一些不经意的动作，让摄影师觉得不错，他会即兴抓拍一些。好的有经验的摄影师，就可以帮助你把你最漂亮的角度展现出来。 此外，你有什么要求，想要什么效果，要向摄影师提出来，他会帮你实现。尤其对于这种一对一服务的，让新人和摄影师可以更好的沟通，可以拍得更好。

    我们其实拍了有160多张，最后我们选出了85张，外加三个相册（大中小），6个版画，2个水晶，花费6000不到。遗憾之处也有，我没有穿旗袍照一张，当时想想在婚宴上会穿，所以就试了一个小姐服；忘了穿韩服了，一忙一累给忘了。

    这是今年一件大事。特此记。

 

  其实是6月19日早上的事情，可惜我定的是6月18日的机票，没能听到，没能在场给她鼓劲。人生的学生篇章可以划个圆满的句号了。恭喜恭喜！

 

 

     这次回国，结婚了，拍了婚纱照，摆了酒，穿了很多漂亮的衣服，化了两次浓妆，吃了很多好吃的东西，认识了好多老公那边的人。现在又回到这个安静的小镇，为自己的未来，自己的家庭奋斗努力。

 

   美好的时光总是过得太快，什么时候再回去呀!

 

 

 

 

    The department asked me to do an RA this summer. I did not get any summer job in the past two summer time. But this year, I got it. It was a really surprise to me. It means a lot to me. I could add this to my resume. I found I really love the data analysis job.  To solve the problem in practice is my favorite.

 

    The letter informed me about these and the secretary of my department made my day!  God or Heaven gave me a chance, and thanks very much!

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

     My laptop is back. but i am not excited. I have to reinstall everything. It is my old laptop, but it seems new to me. I don't recognize it, and I don't even like it.  I refused to use it, I still go to school, go to lab to use other computer.  Sigh, I know it is my fault. I knew I should ask them not to replace the hard disk if no problem with it. I knew I should call them to make it clear. I knew I should do something to let the technician know my ideas about it. I knew I should not mark the item that allow them to replace my hard disk in the checklist. However, I didn't do it. I don't know why I didn't do it. I don't know why. Maybe I expect a new start from my deep heart?

 

    Xifeng always said, I didn't plan in advance. My life is mess up. AM I true?  I know it is very convenient if you organize everything very well, if you plan everything very well. I do agree with it, however, in my deep heart, I hate such kind of thing. I like the life with uncertainty, the life with a little exception, and the life a little bit unsual. Am I naive? Am I childish? Anyway, those are others' evaluation. I have my own road.

 

     I have to take some time to take care my new laptop. Move on! I like this word.

 

 

 

 

   

           My laptop is dead. nothing appears on the screen, something wrong with the motherboard.  I can save everything in my hard disk, and I feel better now.  My firend got the same problem  after three- year use too.  i am luck cause my laptop is still under warranty, but my friend is not as luck as me.

 

  

         Don't trust laptop too much, even though it is a good brand. It is not reliable as much as I thought before.

 

 

      It is the last day for class. This semster is almost gone. Ya!  

 

          I have to find RASHIP for next semster by myself, because the current professor don't need more analysis in next semester.

    I brought IBM laptop in 2004. There is sth wrong with the hard disk right now. I might use it too brutally, because I thought the quality of IBM should be very reliable. I did not care too much about it, so it is broken. too careless.

 

   Time goes really very fast , and the busy semster come to end finally. I could take a break finally. But I know, the much harder life is behind. When will be the end?  I am not in the good  mood those days. I feel a lot of pressure. The only thing I know is to work hard, no other choice.

 

    I am kind of persons: start to do sth, then feel tired, then try to find some new and start to do it, then feel tired; then continue to find something new and start to do it, then tired again.  I am knid of persons who seem to have a lot of interests but not good at.  Is that kind of personality?

 

     I found I stopped to ask the reason and stopped to make clear my doubt during the study right now. I am not curious about a lot of things,  and I am lazy to explore the world. I do not know what kind of thing I am really interested and I could do it forever.

 

     I just finished one exam and felt not good. I regretted that I gave up to firgure out a lot of questions before taking the exam.  Instead of finding the right answer, i would rather hope such kind of unclear questions not to show in the exam. I used to find ways to avoid problems. If no other choice, then I will fight. Is that lazy?

 

    I want to write my feeling down to memory it no matter what I will be in the future.

 

        

           

 

     近日，我的一个朋友读完了书，准备回北京大展拳脚。他是一个很有意思的人，为人热情，办事麻利，决策果断，活动能力强，和他一起做事情，感到非常有干劲。领导学中有一种学说，是魅力型领导，我的朋友好像就是这种天生的有领导魅力的人。

     和他的接触，不是很多，但每次都给人印象深刻。我和他一起举办过CSSA 的活动，和他一起聊过天，他还陪我练过车。后来，各忙各的，接触少了。直到最近，他在网上卖东西，我才知道他毕业了，要会北京发展，去实现他心中的梦想。人生就要开始进入新的篇章了。我祝福他，能在北京大展鸿图，做自己喜欢的事情，创出自己的天下！

 

 

 

   原来听说过，美国某某地方由于暴风雪，学校停课，商店关门，心里总是想什么时候我们这里也这样，该多好，可以不出门在家睡觉了。

   今天终于让我碰到了，雪从昨晚9点多开始下，下了一夜后，白天起来还是满天飞雪，加上狂风，可我还是背上书包8点半出门了。到了学校，才知道所有的课全到取消了。回家后，一查EMAIL, 课取消了。Sigh,校长先生是9点才发的信呀。难得我这么敬业呀！不过，在UI两年了，从没遇见这么大的雪，挺兴奋的。

        时间真是快呀！ 大学时代中颇有男孩气的周周，没想到是第一个有小baby 的， 其实自己的话好像也没有什么逻辑。 很高兴自己当上干妈了，发文纪念。孩子就象一张纯洁的白纸，我希望她今后的世界五彩斑斓，绚丽多彩！

原来就是它

 

 

      早上起来，已经白白的一片世界了，天空还是在飘着雪花。不过 天气还算暖和了些，昨天据说零下20度，在北京从来没有这么低的温度。所以这段时间一定要记录下来，冰天雪地，天寒地冻的UI。 不过，很配合中国的春节，因为印象中总是快到春节的时候北京冷得出奇，没想到在UI也符合这个规律。 雪下得很多，能没过脚踝，踏在雪地里，心里想这天总算可以滑雪了吧，可惜没下在纽约，某人还是不能遂心愿。

 

     今天最高兴的是，收到老公给的生日礼物，GPS，我从去年就嚷嚷着想要了，终于在快到生日的时候得到了，很很高兴，不过也觉得自己真不容易，可是argue了好一阵呢，他总说没用没用，等我以后上班的时候在给我买，现在给我买，难道我用它从家track到meijer? 不过，anyway,我还是得到了。 据说我还有一份礼物呢，现在还不告诉我，那究竟是什么呢？ 我猜是耳环，或者卡片。但其实是没什么都无所谓了，最关键的是，可以收到两份生日礼物！太美了！我真的很开心，也希望一直可以这样。

 

 

 

       一个人成熟，自信，最高的境界是内心的充实，不会因为别人对自己的肯定或否认而动摇。 我的理解就是独立。一个独立性很强的人，尤其是女人，是我非常敬佩的一类人。想阿骆。我也一直希望自己能成为一个独立行很强的女人，内心坚强起来，不会因为别人对自己的肯定和喜爱就飘飘然，也不会因别人对自己否定和冷漠，而感到伤心落寂。寂寞不属于我，我只拥有自由的充实的心灵，一颗热爱生活的心灵。不会因为他不理我而郁郁寡欢，很多事情都是不能强求的，做好自己，对自己的人生负责，让自己的父母放心，就好了。

 

    写下这段话当然是有前因后果的，但公共领域不便过于私密的话题讨论，但我还是保留这段话，以免自己以后又忘记了

最近的BLOG写得没精打采，时断时续，主要是功课变得紧张起来了，而且写BLOG的新鲜劲过去了。不过，有时间还是应该写写，记录一下自己的日子。

         

 

     月初的旅行，月底进行总结。首先，参考了MITBBS 前人的旅行计划，我们初步定了以las vegas为中心，由东向西anticlockwise 玩了一圈。具体行程如下，

Jun 3  Rocky mountatin national park, lodge at Dever; 

Jun 4  Grand canyon   lodge Red feather lodge; 

Jun 5  Lake powell and Antelope Canyon   lodge Page;

Jun 6  Mece Verda      lodge Coertz;

Jun 7  Arches National Park lodge Moab;

Jun 8  Canyonlands and Death horse Canyon, lodge Moab;

Jun 9  Bryce Canyon, lodge Ruby's Inn;

Jun 11 Zion, lodge Las Vegas;

Jun 12 Leave.

   重大事情纪念：

1。第一次在美订旅馆。电话网上都包括，练习了口语，知道如何找deal. 衷心感谢JIE同学告诉的网站；另外，还有http://www.tripadvisor.com/，是旅客关于各个旅馆的评价，参考价值比较大。AAA的书也蛮有用的。

        美国的旅馆，主要分为连锁店和familiy-owned（家族式企业）；连锁店，象holiday INN, BEST Western，MOTEL 6  etc, 几乎在各个旅游景点或者各个洲都是这些旅馆，管理是标准化的。但据某人讲，他曾遇到过在有些地方，MOTEL 6比较干净，而在一些地方就特别脏的情况。 从此以后，他坚决不考虑MOTEL 6了。我们这次旅馆的选择多是连锁店，但在MOAB先开始订的是家庭经营的旅馆Inna India Inn,（MITBBS推荐的）结果大失所望，名不符实，害得我们第二天就开始找别的旅馆。最后选择了一家连锁店。所以，我觉得外出订房间，找连锁店性质的旅馆，比较省心省力。

 

2。一定要练好开车技术。美国旅游DIY比较多，进入很多National Park（NP）, 很多山路还是需要自己开，有些大型的NP会提供shuttle(公共汽车),但绝大多数还是需要自己开的。其实也还是自己开车方便，自由得多。由于自己才学会开车，所以山路啥的，我还是开不了。只能多劳累其他人了。
