28 novembre Dante's PrayerThough it’s dark and we can’t see, there’s hope for us. My eyes watered instantly when I saw this email. God has been so good to me. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFIC5wfuwcQ Dante's Prayer Lyrics When the dark wood fell before me
26 novembre My life in the past 3 monthsSomebody died.
From Aug. 24th I have been here for 3 months. Garden State. Sounds so beautiful. It's a shame to speak so many unpleasant and private things here. But they're true. I don't know what to do. So I decide to keep the record. Hope it will change very soon and I'll be able to review these archived stories someday with smile and understanding. Hate the nights of working days after people leave. "Good night, Dove!" "See you tomorrow, Dove!" "Take care, Dove!" People are so happy to go home after a day's work. Family, dinner, rest,... Seems so unfair to me. Lonely. A night before we were talking about the hurried and immature marriages in graduate students here. Nobody agrees to that. But you just cannot blame them if you have been in the same situation. It's not easy. Countless people have encouraged and comforted me in different ways but it's just not so helpful. Now I know it's hard. People were all telling the truth when they warned me. Didn't know it could be so sad and miserable. However, it's so true and you cannot run away from it. It's been raining all day and I lost my umbrella several days ago. Weeping, weeping, weeping,... I'm not good. I'll be honest. So sorry for this. I know no one can help me. Have been bothering Debbie, Esther, 00, Grace, Maria and my dear parents for so many times that everybody becomes tired of my story. Sorry for you guys. It's also a job I really don't want to do. I'll put my faith in God, as I'm always told. 23 novembre Thanksgiving DayJust uploaded some pics from today.
It has been a long day. Got up not very late, learned something from Wikipedia and watched TV for more than half an hour for the first time ( I don't enjoy watching TV here because it doesn't worth my time). Kai came to pick me up and got lost on Cook. He's like the 3rd person who has been lost in this prettiest campus. Took some pics of the Starkey, the place I've been living since I came here. I like it; I dislike it. That's always true. Went to Dan and Lucy's. Got lost again though it was Kai's 3rd time going there. He was upset; I was thankful. Anyhow, it's Thanksgiving Day and the view on the way was pretty good. Finally we made it, being the last two people who were like one hour late. Food was already ready. I love the stuffing, cranberry, corn, sweet potato something and very fresh bread. Also enjoyed pecan pie (kind of a compensation for my Thanksgiving dinner at church), vanilla ice cream and strawberry something. Eating and talking, I finished two plates which is the reason I'm still feel full right now. They had new decoration and so the kitchen and the house looked great, especially the sun house. Played a game called maybe "Pit" which I'm not sure. It's so much fun and everybody was so involved that I felt exhausted after we finally stopped. Talked and talked. Religion, Christianity, research, job, Brazil, international economy, stock market of China, persecuted churches, Mao, Deng, open policy, Culture Revolution... It's like we covered everything. We were debating all the time but it's interesting, though we Chinese really felt sorry for our country and people in some aspects. Hope it will change some day and hope I won't wait too long. Returned Debbie's call. Talked to her all the way home. It's enjoyable to be open, to be understood and be fully accepted. Got home really late. It's a long holiday for me. Well, it's wonderful. Lord, thank you so much for my first Thanksgiving Day! 17 novembre From July 5th, 2007Went to IFAR annual Thanksgiving dinner just now and Rob dropped me off at IMCS.
Great dinner! Turkey, smashed potato, pies, apple cider, chocolate cookie, ... Things I really like. From July 5th I have been here for a long time. July 5th. Arrived U.S. in Midland, TX; July 5th. to July 24th. Midland, TX; July 24th. Fly from Midland to Newark; July 24th to now, New Brunswick, NJ. Things happen. Time flys. I'm getting old. Donglai just celebrated his three zero birthday. Everybody felt a little sentimental. Gordon just had his first new baby boy. He's excited. We're jealous. Always feel so busy. Have to clean my garden to grow winter rye. Have to do the laundry. Have to do the homework for Scott's class in order to compare with Maria's in time. Have to prepare the presentation for P.O. on Tuesday. Always seems occupied. Called Esther today and she complained about the space which I haven't visited for a long time. So decide to upload some photos today. Now I'm done. Just cost me one hour. Plus organizing my photos in computer and setting new permission. Feel better now. It's not so time-consuming as I thought. So sorry for my neglect in the past days. Thank you for your care, my dear friends. If you ask "how are u"? Honest answer is: I'm totally fine. I'm doing very well overall. Just want to get married. Pray for me if you love me and really care about me. Miss you guys. |
