        <title>天下学校行政一样挫</title>
        <link>http://lynnchen.ycool.com/post.2949466.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[whywhy 的MSN nick 被我借来用了。在LA 被虐的不轻。<br />
去牛津的时候，觉得复旦的行政真的很慢，领导们的日程安排永远是飘忽不定的，办事员的脸色永远是欠扁的晚娘脸。<br />
在牛津的时候，觉得牛津的行政仍然很慢，小蜜的动作永远是第二天才开始的（还是运气好的时候），每逢每天5点之后以及周末那是绝对不办事的。<br />
申请UCLA的时候，觉得他们看材料的效率还是很快的。反应也是比较积极的。<br />
后来才发现，给反应的也只是PhD Program Director一人而已。<br />
于是总结出，还是中国比较好，至少正门不行的话走走后门还是可行的。<br />
<br />
好不容易我从自费生这个身份转到拿奖学金的人，本该高兴一下吧，突然发现我的奖学金还没到账户，hasn't paid by the university yet。。。在第一次去的campus里面上窜下跳，顶着30度的千年不变的LA大太阳在校园里暴走。没有Burin Card去打印，没有Internet access 去上网download他们需要的材料，没有地图在手只好见人就问，忍受加州夸张口音，总算还好，人都还算nice。也就没什么可以抱怨的了。好不容易一份钱算是complete了，另外一份还是incomplete，明天又要过去问问清楚了。总之，要push, otherwise no one cares about you. You have to take care of yourself. 当然，被人家认为是under freshman还是感觉很好的，hoho<br />
<br />
要真正settle down看起来还有很长的路要走。SSN，driver's license，选课，上课，考试，publication, dissertation。我想这四年的功夫大概也就在push 自己和push 别人中度过了吧。<br />
<br />
No time to freak out. Just do it....

        <title>Boring LA</title>
        <link>http://lynnchen.ycool.com/post.2947129.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[Fine, I am a freak... I think LA is boring... even the weather, 350 days are sunny...<br />
So what? I like the rain in England.<br />
<br />
Bought a lot of stuffs in Walmart and in China Town...&nbsp; The number of Chinese people I have seen for the past three days here is larger than that in Oxford... Can't imagine. <br />
<br />
Feel uneasy to understand American accent... I miss RP in Oxford -.-<br />
Nah, as long as I am staying here, I will soon pick up Ahhhmericaaaan accent...<br />
<br />
Need to catch up with more friends in the US, which is much better than the first time I came to England. Winston and Dove are really sweet to me. <br />
<br />
Still unfinished unpacking... oh dear! too many stuffs. <br />
<br />
Give it some time, hope I can find the fun part of LA.<br />...

        <title>Last 7 hours in Oxford</title>
        <link>http://lynnchen.ycool.com/post.2944852.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[还有差不多7小时在牛津。<br />
<br />
明天一早6点taxi去Gloucester Green 坐车去Heathrow. 还好，没破我早起赶飞机的纪录。<br />
<br />
和自己预想的不一样。本以为会再去Broad St. &amp; High St. 走走的。牛津最为经典的地方。<br />
一是天气不允许。暴雨+冰雹的阵势还是蛮scary 的。<br />
二来最后的packing也很麻烦。一个人把两个大箱子拖到了一楼。<br />
还趁着暴雨中间短暂的艳阳天去了Barclays.<br />
<br />
明天在coach上看High St. 吧。<br />
我爱的牛津。<br />
<br />
下线。<br />
然后把随身箱子打包。<br />
睡觉。<br />
希望明天一早不要下雨。<br />
<br />
To all my friends in Oxford,<br />
Take good care &amp; Keep in touch. <br />
<br />
I think I will be back here some time in the future....

        <link>http://lynnchen.ycool.com/post.2942272.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[I have been already missing you... <strong>OXFORD</strong><br />
<br />
最怀念：<br />
Formal dinner。Silver cutlery. Candle light. Scattered conversations. 迷醉的微醺。<br />
有些矫情油画的dinning hall。<br />
黑色的gown。<br />
Exam Schools的奇怪规定。<br />
胸前带着白色，粉红色或是红色康乃馨去考试的人。<br />
本科生的white fur academic gown。<br />
Bodleian 蜜桃味的洗手液。<br />
细小的雨丝。<br />
修剪的极为平整的lawn。<br />
哥特式的尖顶。<br />
松鼠和很多不知名的鸟。<br />
Magdalen College 的后径. My favorite. <br />
Worcester College 的沿湖小路. My second favorite.<br />
Kebel College chapel. <br />
Trinity College main quad.<br />
Balliol College 春天的紫藤。<br />
Merton College 的小花园。成片的薰衣草。<br />
Green 精致小巧的garden. 各种颜色的花。<br />
Merton St. 的石子路。<br />
Duke Humphrey Library 书的陈腐气味。<br />
骑车赶去上课的本科生。由于速度快满脸通红，freckles因而变得更为明显。<br />
Pitts River Museum里面恐龙骨架，度度鸦骨架，mummy。手写的标签。<br />
Ashmolean Museum二楼大厅的桃红色墙纸。<br />
G&amp;D的Oxford Blue. ice cream 来的！<br />
Old Parsonage Hotel外墙的白色蔷薇。<br />
University Park 的一段像油画一般的路。<br />
安静的Bradmore Road.<br />
Christ Church 戴着老式帽子的porters.<br />
Sheldonian 的corpula。<br />
John Hood 的笑容。<br />
Exam School 那个最大的礼堂。我的毕业典礼。<br />
春天的成片的白色和黄色的水仙。<br />
夏天的晚上9点半的夕阳。<br />
秋天的深色树叶。<br />
冬天的冷清和雪。<br />
<br />
舍不得。真的。很不舍得。<br />
害怕周三早上走的时候会哭。<br />
这个我赋予过太多期望的地方，娇纵包容我的地方。<br />
我承认我已然被她宠坏了。<br />
她会留恋我么？<br />
<br />
在Duke Humphrey Library 闲逛。趁着student ID hasn't expired，赶紧重新呼吸几百世纪的霉味。<br />
在Henry VIII的画像下，轻轻移动wooden cover的书。<br />
感觉就像visitor。也许从来都不曾属于这里。<br />
<br />
Wiki说：<font color="#993366"> According to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THES_-_QS_World_University_Rankings" title="THES - QS World University Rankings">THES - QS World University Rankings</a> Oxford is jointly rated the second best university alongside the University of Cambridge and Yale University.

<br />

</font></font>在某个博上看到的。<br />
<font><font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#999999" size="2"><font color="#993366">有时我也不愿承认时间过得如此之快,以至于自身的改变都会让我感觉到措手不及。</font></font></font><br />
<br />
重新看东爱，想着自己是不是能够看出什么新的东西来。<br />
除了觉得90年代初的服饰实在。。。看不下去<br />
和原版里面莉香还算可爱的声音之外。<br />
从这部日剧代表作里面也就总结出：女人让男人成长，爱情让女人成长。<br />
也许很多事情其实并不是那么复杂的。<br />
只是被我们赋予、定义、限制了太多的或是太少的内容<br />
于是变得复杂。<br />
但是为什么我看到莉香把名字刻在丸子的旁边的时候<br />
仍然难过？抱着枕头，凌晨1点，在床上默默流眼泪。<br />
还是不要把全部的过去都打包前行会比较好。不会很累。<br />
<br />
其实，有很多想记录下来。<br />
但，发现自己生活的平乏。<br />
平常的人，平常的日子。没有必要矫情地写作。<br />
只是想变成一个拥有正常童年的小孩子那样正常而快乐的生活。<br />
我似乎从来都不否认我残缺的童年所带来的影响。<br />
至此，insecurity 如影随行。<br />
仍然必须承认的是，我是幸运的。<br />
<br />
我有多少改变？两年。365 + 366 天。<br />
一个人，独立的个体，生活。<br />
经历不适应，分离和团聚，欧洲大陆，北美，British accent，论文，偶尔的想家及念旧，无目的地行走。<br />
小小的蜕变之后，我仍然对于即将要发生的改变感到恐慌。<br />
人，应该是一直在成长的吧。<br />
我会一直怀念牛津给予我的成长。两年，仿佛两个世纪。<br />
<br />
缓慢成长着的Lynn. // 从2008年8月8日到11日（格林威治时间）一直在回忆。...

        <title>2006 - 2008 位移记录</title>
        <link>http://lynnchen.ycool.com/post.2940289.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[契子 - 昨天晚上，在翻看Aki的space，看到写着2006位移记录。于是，自己觉得也应该记录一下。<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 看着Aki的字，很想念那段相依为命的日子。Oxford, Loughborough, West Acton...<br />
<br />

        <title>天气一直很晴朗</title>
        <link>http://lynnchen.ycool.com/post.2934464.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[最近英国的天气一直很晴朗。在朝西的房间，无风。<br />
<br />
当终于感受到夏天的气息的时候，我发现我竟然开始想念雨天。<br />
<br />
上周连着四天把自己扔进有点chilly的游泳池里面。埋头在水里。仿佛才是自由的。<br />
还是想家。但也习惯看着窗外院子里的苹果树和梨树等待每日的日落。<br />
远方的云彩很好看。是不是可以捎我回家？<br />
<br />
发现有时候有必要keeping annoying to somebody，然后才能达到目的。<br />
为了自己的利益要不择手段。。。至少要有原则。<br />
否则没人睬你。<br />
<br />
昨天在Warwick 和 Coventry 暴走。小地方竟然除了town center 就没有ATM了。<br />
大汗淋漓地走在七月下午两点的太阳底下，倒是生出一种畅快的感觉。<br />
数着离开的日子。我现在就像穿着旧袜子般地习惯牛津的一切。<br />
Felt overwhelmed about everything in LA. <br />
I admit that I am scared. 所有的事情统统重新来一遍。<br />
为什么我那个program就我一个international student?<br />
Stupid American accent. I hate it! <br />
好吧，权当我第一次出国吧。<br />
<br />
Wall-e很cute，不过我最喜欢eve。因为长得很像ET。<br />
仿佛很久之前的时候，我的id nick是ET。<br />
<br />
像是要把过去totally wipe off 掉一样，我不愿意去recall anything.<br />
一切向前看，不是么？<br />
但是看菜的甜品和白杨的故事，我突然很难过。<br />
接着塞了一个6&quot; 的pizza to make me feel better. <br />
还是pepperoni and pepper 最好吃。<br />
因为没有足够的butter了，要不我就做个蛋糕 to have some sugar high.<br />
我就一直chubby下去了。<br />
<br />
看Everyone Loves Raymond。觉得有个家的感觉应该会很不错。<br />
我， 再说吧。<br />
<br />
逛Coventry 的IKEA. 想着去LA布置自己的那个小小的房间。<br />
第一次不住宿舍，是不是意味着长大？<br />
回国也是一样再去认识一遍所有的人们，不管是不是熟悉的。<br />
所以，能够再次认识不同的人，应该是一种不错的经历。<br />
<br />
天气一直很晴朗。<br />
我一直很down. What's the matter with me?<br />
<br />
LA会不会一直很晴朗？<br />
我想去Santa Monica get tanned....

        <title>感冒</title>
        <link>http://lynnchen.ycool.com/post.2930636.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[来到英国之后第一次感冒。<br />
<br />
并不是很严重。没有发烧。只是有点咽炎，流涕。顺带耳朵有点听不清楚。像有一层膜。<br />
<br />
整个世界开始变得不真实。只是因为耳朵。<br />
<br />
喝很多水，睡很多。告诉自己要增强抵抗力。<br />
<br />
被一些琐事搞得头大心累，心里层层叠叠地压着一股无名火。然后我就自然而然的生病了。<br />
<br />
Feng上周五毕业了。从Green陪她妈妈走到Exam School的时候，却一直在闪回。<br />
去年9月的时候，我去Gloucster Green接她。<br />
11月做了一个cheese cake给她和Jasmine过生日。<br />
无数次的相互蹭饭。<br />
<br />
吃她妈妈煮的饭。很想家。<br />
<br />
你说说，为什么我要那么自作孽地跑到一个人生地不熟的地方，自我流放？<br />
而我却不知道前方在哪里。何时才会结束。<br />
也许整个人生的过程就是一个拼命奔跑的过程。不能停止。<br />
但是最近真的很累。虽然毕业了，想到未来起码四年还要呆在academia里面，I am PANICKING.<br />
是不是我除了读书，做research之外就什么都不会了？当然quality先放下不表。<br />
悲哀的人啊。<br />
<br />
每到生病我就变得pathetic。<br />
<br />
打扫房间的女人换了一个。只会讲Portugee的Brazalian lady.<br />
反倒让我feel pity. 只会说英语的我帮不了她。因为她听不懂我说的那么几个单词。<br />
其实，就是这件事让我写这篇博。我一无是处。连一个人都帮不了。<br />
<br />
想回家。很想。非常想。...

        <title>A perfect evening</title>
        <link>http://lynnchen.ycool.com/post.2928863.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[Although I have been in my dark side since GOD knows... suffering a cold and sore throat with a running nose, and I am so picky to say &quot;Perfect&quot; to anyone or anything, last night was something I can call perfect. <br />
<br />
<strong>Watched &quot;Mama Mia!&quot; </strong><br />
<br />
Meryl Streep is awesome! Pierce Brosnan, emm, has gained a lot of weight... his belly... Colin Firth is too old to be handsome again as Darcy... and has been revealed has gay inclination in the film. What a punchline! <br />
<br />
The landscape of the film is so fab... Greece... Oh my~! Colorful scenery and vivid dancing... Abba's songs did cheer me up!<br />
<br />
<strong>Dinner at Jamie's Italian Review </strong><br />
<br />
Delicious Italian food, though I know it's in England. But still, the food was something. I love the sweet vinegar with crunchy bread. The pawn spaghetti was really yummy. Unexpected. Rossini was OK... a little too sour as strawberry puree should've had more sweet. <br />
<br />
This restaurant opened about a month ago and it's been the hottest spot in Oxford already.&nbsp; When we arrived there quite late after &quot;Mama Mia!&quot;, so we only waited for two tables... which was a luck.&nbsp; <br />
<br />
Anyway, I did have a good time yesterday evening, and enjoyed myself. <br />
<br />
Just before leaving, I need to record some interesting stuffs in Oxford here in case that those memorable moments will slip from my memory.<br />
<br />
But I am still hanging around here, like a ghost.<br />...

        <title>Scotland-ish</title>
        <link>http://lynnchen.ycool.com/post.2924334.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[Back from Edinburgh today. Very tiring 8-hr overnight megabus from Edinburgh to London and 2-hr Oxford tube from London to Oxford. Here I am. Back in Oxford. My home. <br />
<br />
Key words for the five-day trip: wind, rain, microwave food, travel calm pills<br />
<br />
5th July<br />
23.30&nbsp; London Victoria Coach Station<br />
乘上了我一直panicking 的overnight megabus。我晕车晕的还蛮厉害的。所以自从知道要坐过夜的车并且长达8小时的时候，我就一直在panicking。在此隆重推荐Boots的travel calm pill，很管用。以后睡不着的时候还可以当安眠药用用。<br />
<br />
6th July<br />
8.30 Edinburgh Princess St. Coach Station<br />
超冷！！下雨。在凄风苦雨中，我们走在暗搓搓的爱丁堡的街上。Old Town的建筑和Oxford的有些类似，黑漆漆的，光线又不强，周日早上人也少的可怜。简直就相当于在鬼城里面走。到了hostel，放下行李，在街上乱逛。因为周日很多店都关着。从Royal Mile的一头走到另一头的Castel，雨越下越大，没有要停的意思，可是大家对于参观的热情还是不减，排队的人多是多的来~ 我们就放弃了在雨中排队买票的想法，漫无目的的接着乱走。走到free entrance的Museum of Scotland，被领着参观了highlights。出来之后去了Bobby's Bar。本来想吃苏格兰最有名的Haggis，但是觉得怕难吃吃不完的话很浪费，就没点。moerae点了。尝了一点。 Haggis就是把羊的心，肺，肠子绞碎，连同oatmeal 和different herbs，灌到羊的胃里(suppose是同一只羊的)，然后煮。煮熟了配mashed potato和tipps(Scottish，类似于某种pickel，但是吃不出来)。雨么一直下，没有要停的意思。We were stuck in that bar... 然后么就是坐在里面看Wimbledon final. 虽然伦敦那边也由于下雨让比赛暂停了两次，但是好歹在那天打完了。虽然Federer 缪拿到Championship， 小那拿到也不错。一场激动人心的比赛啊~~<br />
<br />
7th July<br />
跟了一趟免费的tour。导游有美国人，English， Spanish，就是没有Scottish！！以梅尔吉布森为首的苏格兰人民奋起起义的故事开启了苏格兰人民独立的序幕。很多witch的故事啊，杀人啊，倒卖尸体啊。难怪爱丁堡会出Frankstein。。。好在天气变好了。下午去了Edinburgh Castle。参照我去过的新天鹅堡和温莎堡，那个堡又小又破，啥都没有。居然还要我12镑！抢钱啊！之前听导游说的Stone of Destiny是本来苏格兰皇帝登基时跪在上面crowned，然后被English抢到Westminster Abbey长达700年，50年代的时候被偷了，然后1997年PM Major还给了苏格兰。以为很大很神奇的一块石头。没想到。。。真的很小哎！！总而言之，这个堡。。。比较。。。不值得。。。然后就见到了最新爱丁堡代言人J.K. Rowling写Harry Potter的酒吧，叫the elephant. 还有那个给她霍格沃兹学校灵感的secondary school，很大的一所，有很多尖顶圆顶，据说Tony Blair在那里上的中学。晚上就在tesco买了很多叮食品(microwave food) 在hostel里面吃。现在我知道基本上所有tesco出品的lightweight叮食品。。。味道其实都差不多，除了鸡肉类的和意面有点不一样。<br />
<br />
8th July<br />
乘车去了Highlands，Loch Ness。大概是因为英格兰实在是太平坦了，苏格兰有点点起伏就叫高地了。湖没有Lake Thun美，山没有Alpes高大雄伟。和瑞士一比么，就差蛮多啦，天气也不是很好，灰突突的。尼斯湖么，就是一比较大的湖。但是到现在也不知道那个水怪是不是有，有的话，又在哪里？召唤是召唤不出来的吧。前半段路，我一直晕晕乎乎的，因为吃了晕车药，就想睡觉。whywhy and moerae说人家嗑药都是high的要死的，你怎么就半死不活了？在某山脚下想冒充文艺青年未果，好歹我有道具啊，围巾一条。可惜，气质不像，一看就是一小混混出来疯玩的。<br />
<br />
9th July<br />
分开旅行。我和whywhy去了St. Andrews，对滴，就是Prince William上的那个University of St. Andrews 在的小镇。有幸溜进他们的哲学系参观并使用了他们的Toilet... 小镇很漂亮，作为最早的苏格兰大学，和Oxford长得有点像，whywhy说是缩小版的牛津加海景。就是风太大了。冻得半死不活的坐在建造于12-13世纪的Cathedral的废墟旁的墓地旁边，头顶上海鸥在凄厉的叫，我在吃tesco的1.68 镑的三明治。想想也蛮有情调的。作为Golf的发源地，我很佩服那些在起码5级大风的海边打球的人。晚上接着坐上megabus，从Edinburgh - New Castle - Sheffield - 没听说过的地方1 - 没听说过的地方2 - London.<br />
<br />
Scotland-ish...基本就是这样啦。Kilt还是很漂亮的。风笛也很好听。景色也算不错。但是，那些gorgeous海滩要什么时候才能用呢？7月还冷成这样。。。8月么？...
