血压量了不少,有可能符合我们征募标准的人却没发现几个。好不容易有个人的机会很大,但负责量血压的护士竟然在跟她闲聊几句后就放她走了,我非常不爽,又特意拿着各种宣传材料特意走过去塞给人家,还非常热情的说,期待在我们的门诊见到她。那个人对我的热情也投桃报李,还特意问了如果要参加试验需要如何如何。没想到就这么个举动,我就被那个护士盖上了‘forceful’的印章。周一我们开电话会的时候,有大老板问那天的情况如何,她就立刻说,柚子has been very forceful. 我赶紧申辩说,我不是forceful, 我只是persuasive而已。她当时没说话,可是后来找个机会又说,柚子has been very forceful. 我总觉得forceful不是好词,好像有点强人所难似的。回来查了字典,注释说是‘有说服力的’,这让我感觉好多了。
今天是我们研究所的PhD forum的inauguration,因为我算是新近交了论文的,被请去给大家介绍经验。我发挥了自己能白话的优势,坐在那里向众位正在攀登科学高峰的学子们滔滔不绝的倒了20分钟的苦水,直到后来有个刚入学三周的小男孩说,this meeting has totally freaked me out. I have been enjoying myself with my PhD, oh no, I was enjoying my PhD right until just now. 然后他狠狠的看了我一眼,好像是我给他吓成了那样。其实我不过是说了一下自己的体会而已;诸如everything seemed to be more interesting than my thesis, I would just take every excuse I could get to avoid working on my thesis;诸如writing up a manuscript for publication is one thing, writing up the whole thesis is another. It is actually a completely different story, at some points you just feel it is something unconquerable at all; 再诸如my supervisor didn’t dare to push me too hard at the end stage of my PhD as he was afraid that if he ever pushed harder, I would probably have committed suicide, and he wasn’t far out in that direction.
这些其实都不算太夸大其辞。我写论文的时代是非常黑暗的,至今仍然不堪回首,而且到现在我也还没拿到examiners’ reports,所以也不敢就这么高枕无忧。什么时候真的戴了帽子,才敢说自己做完了PhD. 读博士是个不归路,好多人都说,这就好象把不会游泳的人扔进水里,然后你either learn swim yourself or get drawn in it. 我现在算是在游泳池里扒了个边儿吧。
我也很同意那句话,“What other people think of you is none of your business”,但是有时还是在意他人的想法,说得容易做到难!不过,我会努力去不在意他人的想法,呵呵,饼子可以端个小板凳坐着监督我,每天问一句:猫儿,在意他人的想法了吗?呵呵,就像饼子问司令:今天吃糖了吗那样。哈哈哈。。。

看得直乐。歌儿说的都是大实话呀,可好象不是人家想听的哈。
要是以后还有此类活动,歌儿就会来句压轴的,“The best is yet to come!” :)

1. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
Agree! But once in a while, I would FREAK out to find out that someone was taking me seriously.
