开始过冬令时了,时差8小时...无奈啊
The weather is getting cold so most of us may be missing their family now. The wind is blowing strongly, just like a monster scaring us. Suddenly I find out that three months have passed since we came here. Though I had experienced that when I studied in Nanjing, I feel lonelier than that in Nanjing. Coz of such a long distance and a bleak room. My friend Zhang Hao has been back in China coz of his dear grandpa’s death. I’m sorry to hear that. So I wish my grandparents would keep healthy and have a good life.
I take one and a half hours of vigorous daily exercise at a gym every day, hoping that I could gain more weight. My purpose is 77KG but now I’m only 70KG, It’s such a long-term plan. I have confidence that will be attained in the future.Now we are very sure that our course is very difficult, especially embedded systems and analogue electronics. Three assessments have been assigned so we will be busy in the next several weeks. We will also have presentation on the next Monday. Now I have made friends with other countries’ students in the class. All of them are good at English so they don’t have problems of communication. I can make sense of most of the lectures now but some teachers’ language speed is so fast that we can’t understand sometimes. Communication problems should be solved as soon as possible, I think.
Tonight should not be lonely. We should look forward and keep moving. A great number of knowledge is waiting for us to learn. Fighting!
It’s still two months from now to Christmas. But the Halloween will come soon. Here is some information about Halloween from Alex, thanks to him!
万圣夜(Halloween)在每年的10月31日,是英语世界的传统节日,主要流行于北美、不列颠群岛、澳大利亚和新西兰。当晚小孩会穿上化妆服,戴上面具,挨家挨户收集榶果。华语地区常将万圣夜误称为万圣节。
万圣夜英文称之“Halloween”,为“All Hallow Eve”的缩写,是指万圣节(All Hallow's Day)的前夜,类似于圣诞夜被称为“Christmas Eve”。“Hallow”来源于中古英语halwen,与holy词源很接近,在苏格兰和加拿大的某些区域,万圣节仍然被称为“All Hallow Mas”,意思是在纪念所有的圣人(Hallow)那一天,要举行的弥撒仪式(Mass)。
万圣夜通常与灵异的事物联系起来。欧洲传统上认为万圣节是鬼魂世界最接近人间的时间,这传说与中国的盂兰节类似。
Wish you all have a happy Halloween!
