So many things going on in the past few months enough to kill my posts here.

I am glad to say, or I should be glad to annouce, it seems gradually day in and day out, I shfted myself toward the supposeably RIGHT direction for my RESEARCH career.

I am getting used to have papers located at every corner of my living space, the toilet seat, the car door, benearth the head of my bed. I begin to be afraid to miss any single seminar taken place within my reach, no matter what field or topic it will touch. I tend to be social and talkable to whoever I met everyday, PIs, collegues, classmates, friends, salesperson, cleanning person, security, teamates.... sometime i do not feel it is the old way of me, but i make it as my struggle to blend in the new society here, I have to do this.

By the same time, the other part of my life... I am seemingly doing good with GF, every now and then we are having a good time; I enjoy my new type of my life with my car, carrying me around to any spot I want to go, tirelessly back and forth from Gym to Stowers, house to Stowers, Medical Center to stowers..... My basketball team proceed to the big final of the local league which is unbelievably awesome, cuz I am being the only international player in the whole league, though admittedly still a "role" one. What else, I tried to make my previous fun part with me as paralleled branch stream together with research life, but I faile to make them happening together without interfereing w/ each other, so i finally give up the right to become a normal teenager, give up to be Arthas holding frostmourne once again. Another good news is Yao's injury, which I assume have sth. to do with the Olympics, anyway, there is not much fun left for following Houston Rockets' game which have saved me days on other subjects.

 Apart from my car, another new purchase is my new soccer clips, my first pair ever in my life. Now I play regular soccer game once a week in front of Nelson-Atkins Museum with my collegues, besides my two basketball session at weekend, plus every wednesday's game night's league game, I am becoming a professional ball player, this point is my most satisfied part for my recent life. Perhaps not the best yet, cuz i indeed have a very supportive girl friend by my side which I am thankful, but most of the time i feel lots of stuff is uncontrollable/unforseeable with her which never happen in my life.

All in a nut shell, good sign about me is i begin to appreciate the road I picked up, also the city, the school KU, the institute Stowers..... the new life to be a independent individual.... I am sure I will be evolving soon after, hopefully I can keep up with this good trend.

Though lots of new stuff around me, I still miss all the old-self, miss all my life in China, my family, all my friends...... perhaps this is the part you have to give up upon.

sky? limit? talk about me? I would only like to be the cloud...

In the past month, my experiments slowed down due to various uncontrollable factor technically, OR may be the actual reason behind is the running off of my previous enthusiasm which carried me going on for several week's CRAZY life...... The real part of me is beginning to seize up the control of my everyday, the great scientific dream is gradually stepping backward into closet. Oh, PLEASE, do not fade so quickly, you are supposed to sustain my study for 6-10 years, but now it is only after months.....

Apart from the troublesome course study and the frequent fake smile during so-called small talk, a voice deep inside is yelling: I want to be alive, I want some time belong to myself! So I think I will try to let it go for some far-away goals and try to secure myself in everyday, to cherish the moment when I still a young enough to laugh and enjoy freely and crazily. I wish I could.

How can I at the same time to keep up with the latest scientific progress? Am the one born to read papers? I do not know at all. I wish I could be that kind of paper maniac, but day in and out, I begin to realize I am probably not that kind of zealot.

Hope some of the answer can be revealed soon~ Can and only by myself.

I am sorry but I have to say that his full name is Damn As Cat, I do not know how this related to him, but only thing I know is he kind of enjoys this HUMAN sound, whenever I shout out D~A~C, he just tireless miaos back, "Miao Miao~" Haha, share some pic of him and I want to thx him for companying me through some lonely hours :p Wish he sometime will see the post~

Day ONE, two KFCs in a row

p.s. here KFC/Mc/Pizza Hut/Burger King all are my neighbor, with in walking distance. The kfc here serves meal in a big round plate with chicken, mash potato, salad all in one. Also the drink is all free to refill anytime and you r free to choose whatever u want!

Day TWO, all day sucks in bed :(

Morning with dizzy head and high temperature, stuck in bed with nothing to eat all day, NO MORE kfc PLEASE!!!

Day THREE, blind shopping with fever

Is this a Chinese Market? Are you kidding? Luckily I got my frying pot and rice cooker in Walmart!

Day FOUR, life set back to track with OUR food

Pork here is good to eat, the vege and fruit is also clean and ready to enjoy. Wherever u go, Chinese dishes are always the best!

临上飞机的几天 突然感觉需要做的事情激增 从来没有的每天schedule满满的感觉 吃席 喝酒... 导致带着感冒的状态硬头皮上飞机~

机场的路上 出奇的顺利~ 国航对托运行李的限制很变态 只有23kg 丝毫没有和国际接轨的意思 工作人员一看到我 脸上就写好了2个字 “交钱”。 结果2个158大箱子 400块出手图个旅途安稳 但心里实在不爽~

可能是因为同来送行的各方面的人很多吧 而且我还要先进去办行李 和爸爸妈妈在一起说话的机会不多。没想到我妈妈还真是忍住离愁别绪 硬是没有让眼泪流下来 我倒还是着实鼻子酸了一阵。这回可又逮到机会亲了我爸爸一下 呵呵~

进了安检 被人又请出来了 原来登记箱里的某个物品盒里有我放入的剪刀 逃窜出来 10块钱包装费 办了托运 包装的小哥拿着我的剪刀纳闷：“你这个值10块钱吗？”

终于上了飞机 装有文化 看起 哈里波特。到了凌晨1点飞机上放十面埋伏 居然从头到尾又看了一遍 这次居然看完比上次看的少吐了一些~

12小时后飞机落地 感觉挺快的~ 窗外的LA 很多山...

洛杉矶入关 清静的很 老美让我扫描指纹时 我居然左右手搞反了 丢脸 --b

沿着路走出机场 看到了洛杉矶/美国 的真实面孔。 温度和湿度都很舒服 空气很好 当然路上跑的好车太多了！洛杉矶机场有几层 机场实一个圆 机场巴士就在其中不停的转圈子 把不同航空公司的旅客送到 目的公司的gate

要做shuffle A 去转机的gate 等了很久等来了shuffle A 车上的大婶很友好 会主动和你攀谈。聊着聊着 到站了 我就跟着下车了。这一下可好 环顾四周 没有美联航的牌子 一问别人告诉我 到车站坐shuffleA啊~ 原来是下错站了。不想等车 于是步行走 我的登机箱 背包 和笔记本3个包里都塞满了很多重物----害怕托运超重。当时身上挂着包 拖着箱子 在LA的风中 不禁鼻子又酸了下 真是孤苦伶仃 流离失所啊 都不知道自己的目的地在哪里~ 就是一直走

总算进了UA的门 再一个self-checkin的机器前 怎么摸索都找不到自己的航班号 抓狂中只好问老美 人家轻蔑一笑 告诉我这个是电子机票专用 我这个不行。于是一副无可奈何状开始帮我换登机牌。 有意思的是 入关要把鞋子脱下来 hoho 那些香港脚该怎么办啊？

飞机 又飞了 于是降落在 chicago 这个我与之擦身而过的城市。到的时候 城市在雨中 透过等候厅的大玻璃 我可以仔细端详这个我如此接近的地方

飞机上 旁坐居然碰到了 也喜欢哈里波特的职场大叔 聊了几句 就开始神采飞扬 唾星四溅的神侃起来 最后核心思想居然是抱怨美国公司的人事提拔过程不合理。说到这里他异常激动 居然我另一边的一直沉默的白胡子老爷爷 也开始附和起来 我夹在中间听两个老美抱怨美国 听的着实有趣。

下了飞机 迎面一眼就认出了 我的房东~ 之后就座着她的小吉普 顺利回家啦
