人家可以一句就寫心情日記，我做不到，我天生囉嗦 ， 這一點大家有目共睹．
這去一年我過的很頹廢，我確實在考試唸書，不過效率卻極低．我報考了兩個GRE，最後都臨陣退縮了，因為我不覺得自己會比之前考的好－－當然，這麼懶．搞得我有點懷疑自己是開始痴呆了．我不是天才，不過好處在於我對於自己想做的東西有極大爆發力，所以真正想做的事都能做得不錯．
不過，我容易受情緒影響，令注意力和集中力下降，也會暗自磨損精神，好像現在手上的那些personal statement，我寫了一個月都沒寫好．
這些都是我知道的缺點，要改卻不容易．不過我覺得我再這樣頹廢下去不行了，所以啦，不管我運氣好不好，再下來我要振作努力啦！
希望新年新氣象，把之前的懶根，煩事，全部拔掉！
不干我事的，無能為力的，我不會再為了那些事煩惱．人家自己處理不了的，為什麼我就要去為人收拾殘局？自己搞出來的鳥事，自己收拾．收拾不了請別打擾我，我沒那麼偉大，也沒有這種責任．
有人說過因為我堅強嘛，人家以為你受的了．對，我的確堅強，也許我也真的受的了．不過我的堅強，不是該用在這種地方上，我不是搞救難的．以後，請不要打擾我，自己的事請自己搞定．以前我就給我老弟說過：人家自己要死，你還不讓人去啊？就因為這樣，有事時總是讓我惹麻煩上身，而從來不會跑到我老弟那裡去．什麼嘛，明明他是男的，不是說什麼男人該有擔當？
忠告：寧願相信有外星人，不要相信這句話．
我發覺，誰忍不住，誰要出頭，誰就死了．果然老子說的對，做人不要堅強，應該柔弱，你要堅強，就會有人想要搭你的便車，你一個人要跑雙份，人家只會覺得你特別傻．
最近聽了楊千嬅的"一葉舟"，林夕的詞依然很正．道家思想啊！真是剛剛好．
聞說雙溪春尚好，也擬泛輕舟。
只恐雙溪蚱蜢舟，載不動、許多愁。
反正日元漲成這樣，旅行是沒指望了，春好也沒我的事兒了．
...我也覺得自己身體差了!
回覆刪除聖誕節那幾天假期, 我一個人到了澳洲昆士蘭一個著名的小島去,
享受陽光與海灘. 澳洲太陽出名猛烈, 曬了整整一天的太陽, 加上
吹了幾小時的海風, 結果就病倒了!
人大了, 原來已經不能再試一些太過刺激的活動!哎...
真的, 我也認為2008年很多事情都不太順利(好的說:是充滿挑戰的
回覆刪除一年, 不好的真是"撞鬼"囉!!!)
我曬到有中暑的symptoms...頭暈作嘔! -_-!!!
Thx for the song, I like it immediately. Roger and
回覆刪除I talked about u in Facebook, go to read it.
I wish u success in the road of PhD in 2009
Great!!......Seems you are compliing the personal statement
回覆刪除for your PhD application. Any target programs???
The heck GRE should never be an obstacle nor should we
quail with......
given our keen aspiration to become a scientist is
still there! right??
I wish you can concentrate only on what you wanna / have
to do and become a PhD student in 2009!
Sounds lovely! As far as I know, UCSD & Illinois are
回覆刪除top-notch departments regarding psy. Don't know if they
perform equally well in Neuroscience. BTW, have
you decided what kind of research you wanna do and,
how about their funding packages??
GRE is an "entering screener", so they won't accept students
with too shitty GRE score even he/she has unequaled research
potential!
"死騙錢的美國佬"
Why make a fuss??? They've conned the world! Trillion of
dollars lost through the credit cruch ROFL.
"我還是覺得英國比較好"
Maybe. On the flip side, funding for UK PG study is a lot
shabbier!! The ORSAS is fading out. Incidentally, RAE2008
results are now available. Check that if you find this
important for your choice.
"美國是5-6年，還要讀course"
Some Us in the States allow credit transfer if you have master
degree. Dunno if this apply to you.
"這樣我畢業時不是快四十了！？"
Well, if you keep a healthy lifestyle you may enjoy more than
20, even 30 years of post-doc career!!!LOL
I got my GRE reports:
回覆刪除General: V370 Q620 W4
Subject: 600
I didn't feel bad, as I expected to redo them next
year. I still wish to go in 2010, even it seems
hard from you guys conversation. I would give up
only when I fail the GREs next year again. Pancy &
Lewis, add oil & happy new year ^^
Pancy, thx for your suggestions, I will pay more
回覆刪除attention to them. BTW, I realized how deficiency
of my vocabulary bank is; when I first looked at
the GRE vocab book, I would say most of the vocabs
are aliens to me...However, when u learnt them, u
found them in many ways, like fiction & news; it
reveals that we didn't learn them seriously in our
former education.
Me?? Same as before. Heck, I've asked about funding to 3 Us
回覆刪除accepted my applications, but they unanimously said no "ships"
for MSc courses. Only Lancaster may offer me a shabby 500ps
bursary in 2009 (c.f. 2000ps in 2008)!!
I've considered Chevening but they need a professional ref,
i.e., employer, who is nowhere to be found as my job is
totally unrelated to psy.
I've also considered other programmes... Some with
lucrative ships, but either their research interest doesn't
match mine or their tuition fees are still high after
deduction of possible ships.
The only good thing is ps has fallen >30% since late Sep.
I've exchanged some at ~$11.4. I'll buy more if it keep
falling.
TO Sara:
You're not alone...This is my 1st trial:
V580 Q790 W4
I've to seat another one to boost my V & W scores.
For Q, I'll try perfect score (10% of ppl can do it)
So, Never give up!
Um...Bangor's programme is an optimal solution in terms of its
回覆刪除research strength (having quality profile of 20,45, 25 & 10%
w.r.t. 4*, 3*, 2* & 1* researh quality in RAE2008), tuition fee
and funding. If you aim at a reputable psy. PG department in
the UK while money is a major concern, Bangor is one of the
best, if not the only best choice. The main thing is there
seems no faculty who is doing research related to auditory
perception. (If there is, pls let me know!@@)
On the flip side, I start thinking if it is too early
to fix my research target. At the begining, I wanna meet those
faculty giants who are eminent in the field and try doing
research with them in order to polish my CV for further study.
But I realized that we can still got admitted to do PhD
research which may not related to those done in the previous
master. Now, the heck thing is there seems only few choices if
I foreclose other research fields, like memory.
"他的研究範圍也本來不包括音樂,不知道抽了什麼風忽然又踩了進去"
回覆刪除Maybe aptly changing the field of research is conducive.
Sometimes new research ideas come out when the one idea meet
ideas, mehodlogies or discoveries from other fields such as
genetic research, nanotechnology, and even quantum physics.
Some even say working too hard on a field maybe counterproductive!!
"師姐的thesis我也有..."
Well, I'm interest in that, could you please e-mail me...
I've keyed in my e-mail address in this reply and I promised
I won't let other ppl read... thx!!
