    快乐是自己给的--Mandy

    这一个星期有许多决定,开心地生活~~不知道能不能做到, 不过我会努力去尝试。 一个决定伤透了一个珍贵的人的心, 我只能说对不起。
    看看自己的space真的有好多好多足迹,随便关了好可惜。生活有高潮也有低谷, 在这里记录下点点滴滴也是一件好事吧。 毕竟再糟的情况都总会过去的。
     
    开学已经两个月了, 开始不用家里的钱, 所以打工打好多, 除了翻译, 客服以外还有零零碎碎的这个那个, 在中国上学要打工真的很难, 工作不多, 工钱也很不可观。 加上我不工作就没有经济来源我的压力特别大。 不过忙一点也是好事, 总比以前每天郁闷无病呻吟强。 自己赚钱买什么都特别名正言顺。 上星期在深圳买了一套Elisabeth Arden, 虽然心痛得不行, 毕竟是自己的钱啊, 可是感觉还是不错的。 做这份翻译的工作我牺牲的可是青春和身材~ 每天坐着4,5个小时, 我怀疑我的肩膀已经有问题了。手提电脑的缺点就是要把整个肩膀抬高, 虽说头的位置完全是由自己控制,例如你把眼皮耷拉下来看着屏幕, 可是一个人专心致志地工作时, 就顾不了那么多了。 头自自然然就会向前下方伸展。 有一次工作中突然想到, 从侧面看我一定像一只翅膀往后收缩的烤鸽子。所以从现在开始, 我决心工作时一定要配合背背佳的使用, 保持健康的脊椎。
     
    昨天到处打探学校里面的废品回收系统详情, 每个学期都有很多书, 几乎是崭新, 我当然也不会看, 例如说大学生思想道德修养的。 这一门我几乎不及格, 才62。 为此我妈老说我没道德没修养。 这些书的特点是装帧精美, 内容欠奉。 我是把这一本书都看完了, 因为不真正了解一件事物是不可以随便批判的。 结论是, 没啥用, 跟看八卦杂志差不多。加上其他学校发的英语读物缩写本-- 我最不喜欢简装本。 例如说把 "a room of one's own" 缩成一篇2000字的文章放在英语泛读的fast reading里真是荒唐, 意识流的作品即使是原著我们也未必看得懂呢。那么多的书就这样扔掉真是太浪费了, 能把它们捐出去最好, 毕竟有那么多人想看书却苦于没书呢。所以图书馆真是个好东西, 很多书没有必要买的就可以借, 起码资源可以再利用。 不能捐出去我想把它们交回到废品回收站也是一件好事, 那么多的书可以制成还原生态木浆总比做装骨头的垫子好~ 环保真是很重要。
    太久没有写过东西了, 说话方式拙劣得像个小孩。词语累赘, 辞不达意。 整篇entry的中心就是:记录生活的点点滴滴。
     
    a good lot of decisions were made this week. i ve decided to lead a happy life. not sure if i can do it but i ll try. one of my decisions hurt a precious soul, for which i can only say sorry...
    there are so many memories stored up here in my space, it was such a shame to close it down just like that. there are rise and falls in one's life, it is quite a benefitial thing to put them down here i reckon. the worst will pass afterall.
    i
    t's been 2 months since school first started. i am gradually quitting family allowance, hence i am working a lot recently. besides translating and customer service, also some odds and ends.  it being challenging to work while studying in china considering the narrow range of jobs available and the stingy pay, i am under great stress bcs of a halt of secure money source. it is good to be occupied by some real thing than moaning and groaning about whatever bad thing happens to my life. i am content with the strong reasons for luxary. last week i got a set of skin products from Ellisabeth Arden, much painful i felt when i was paying, it is MY hard-earned money afterall, it did feel extremely great. working as a translator, what i sacrificed was my youth and figure. i spend about 4-5 hours a day sitting in front of my laptop. i already suspect that my shoulders are coming down with something. the weakness of laptop is that you gotta lift your shoulders up to type. about your head position of cos it is determined by yourself, you can definately choose to lower your eyes to the screen. but as a devoted worker, the only thing i can care is the shitty stock market terminologies in the documents, my head was unconsciously stretched in a lower front direction. it suddenly occured to me once i was working, i must have looked like a roasted pigeon with both of her wings tied on the back.  from now on, i ve made up my mind, i would work under the assistance of babaka the shoulder brace to secure a healthy and during spine.
     
    yesterday i was poking around about school recycle system, we have loads of books every semester, most of them are brand new. i didnt read them of cos. for example there is one subject called "moral cultivation", i almost failed this one with 62/100. for that my mum has been accusing me of not being morally cultivated. these books are always exquisitely decorated and provide unsatisfactory delivery. i did read this one book for an objective judgement. the verdict is: crap, it is like reading the "sun". also we have all thsoe simplified novels from school, which i hate the most.  it is totally ridiculous to abstract "a room of one's own" into one 2000 word article and use it to train our fast reading skills.  even if we got the unabridged version, it is not a sure thing we are gonna understand the work. it is such a waste to throw away all these books while so many have thirst for them. so libraries are really good, at least we can reuse these resources. donating them seems not feasible at the moment, at least i can take them to a recycle station, it is better that they are gathered and made into paper again than cushion chicken drum stick bones. people let's be environmental friendly.
    it has really been a long time since i wrote. i am talking in a pig latin way really. redendant, ambiguous. pffff.
    the main idea is: record everything in life.
