You may or may not have heard that Google annouced their forthcoming product Wave, which is still in it's early stage, on Thursday. Watch the offical preview (it's kind of long though), if you haven't already. You will be blown away as I was. I was wow-ing the whole time. It's revolutionary! It's going to change the world of comunication...
Google wave
Today I went on a hike with three other friends on Little Si after church. It'd been a year since I hiked. I probably wouldn't have gone if J-Chan wasn't "pushing" me that hard. It actually turned out to be a very good hike, way better than I expected. Because last year I struggled on the way up, and since I haven't been exercising as much as I would like to, I was afraid to go and thought I would be dead again. I'm glad I went, and felt really good about myself afterwards for being not so out of shape and even more capable than last year. So now I'm really pumped about the hikes that are yet to come this summer. And if I start taking advantage of the gym membership more, I might be able to do Mt Si again without taking breaks all the way up.
After the hike, we discovered this really cool chocolate shop called "Chocolate Factory" in North Bend Outlet, and had some delicious ice cream there. The weather was just perfect. I'm really happy about Seattle finally getting into the scene of summer. At night, we went to see the new Pixar movie "UP". I felt bad that J-Chan had to drive me around the whole day, and all the way from eastside to campus past midnight. The movie was sublime. I loved it a lot and was super impressed by Pixar's great work. It involved so many types of emotions. The story line was just amazing! I would totally like to see it again. And if you haven't seen it already, you should go.
This post is kind of pointless. But I guess I just can't hide my excitement for the warm weather and the end of the quarter.
I've got loads of things coming up. Two finals next week, for one of which I have to miss a special church service. Because this one math final is going to take place next sat afternoon. I was told that it can't be rescheduled, again, unfortunately. And the week after, I have another two finals. I need to pack, move out, move in and unpack pretty much the day after my last final on wed june 10. Then I can use a couple of days to gather some furniture pieces. It looks like I won't get a day off before Camp Meeting, and I have no idea how everything's going to work out; because I'm also trying to figure out a time to visit some old friends in Rhode Island; and that would have to be before summer quarter starts on june 22.
And yeah, what was I thinking when I registered for summer quarter? And with a full-load: three math classes and one microecon, seriously? Plus, I work/kill my brain cells daily...ohh shoot!
This upcoming month will be one of the busiest in my life. But it will be worth it all--I'm getting a place in my favorite neighborhood, and I'm really looking forward to my first summer in this city. It's going to be more than just nice.
One thing that's kinda sad though, my mom was planning to fly over here sometime soon during the summer, but thanks to the recent widespread H1N1 viruses, the trip is gonna be postponed. It would be interesting to do a research on what impacts H1N1 will have on U.S. economy, I bet nothing quite positive...
I really want to sit back and relax for a little bit right now, but I've got this crazy month ahead of me. By accidentally having my alarm on silence last sat, I slept for 17 hours...I realized how tired I was. Pathetically, I felt even more tired after I slept, and couldn't jolt out of the lethargy till around 9pm. It wasn't a good use of a beautiful Sabbath day. I should stop using the fact that I'm in school as an excuse for being busy all the time, everybody's got stuff to do.
I finished reading about 100 pages of astrobiology before I started this post, now I don't remember anything from them. And I need to go to sleep as soon as I'm done writing this, which will be in like two seconds...
...peace :)
Bring up the electro :D

This one is for you, Miss Roma; stop saying that I don't have any blog entry in Chinese ;)
没有地方可以写，就先放在这里。 本想写在日记里的，可惜因为太懒了， 不愿动笔， 还是打字快些。只是暂时放在这里，会删掉的，等到有其它合适的地方，或者某天我勤快了愿意贴到日记里面去。
好久没有写中文了，写起来真是费劲。记得13岁的时候写的小小说和散文，本来可以成为个早熟的作家的，说不定。啊，可恶的英语和渐渐美化的意识形态。更可恶的是，英文毕竟不是我的母语， 于是还是会经常犯错误。 但经常说话时找不到合适的中文单词而要用英文代替，母亲说我说中文的时候有时会语序颠倒，唉。什么时候变成这样了。很想念中文里曾熟悉的华丽词藻。
不是要说语言的问题，原谅我走题的习惯。前天晚上突发奇想，翻出了初中时候总是和另外两个好朋友听的一盘韩文碟，90年代末21世纪初的流行风格。当时很红的一个3人组合。其实最近总是在找回以前初中时候听的俗气的流行歌曲，以前在台上和两个好朋友唱过跳过的歌曲。感觉不是想听那些曲子，而是想找回经历那些过去的日子的感觉，即使是很愉快的歌曲都会让我泪流满面。时间过得太快，转眼就6年了。昨天到网上找那个组合成员的近况，然后看到她们现在的照片，伤感不已。当时的她们才二十一二，然后在MV里面是多么的有活力。其实现在也才只有二十七八。但看起来真是很不一样，很明显能看出来30逼近的影子。两个成员有整容，让我很难过。当时听她们的歌时，很想迅速长到她们他们那个年级，天真地想到时候可以化上妆认真打扮。一转眼，就已经到了差不多那个年纪。再想，一转眼，30就离我不远了。很多人听到90年出生的我觉得实在年轻，其实不然。不光是外表的变化，还有人本身从纯真到成熟复杂的变化，理性方面说是好事，没有人想一辈子当小孩子；然而我每每想到这点，就觉得什么缺失了，一种无价的东西飘走了，而让我很想哭。
我经常想“物是人非”这个词，还是不能领悟这个成语怎么能这么经典，让我们很感伤，但很喜欢。也许我本身就喜欢让我痛楚的回忆。退一步说，任何回忆都让我痛楚，因为是回忆，是过去，过去了就没有了。记得当时学政治哲学的时候，学到事物的发展都是前进性和曲折性的统一。现在终于可以理解一点了。而且知道为什么老朋友的一封email会让我痛哭不已。
写这些的时候，真的感觉老了...
