Lying Down Without Getting Up

Recently, I’ve been a bit lazy and haven’t written much in my diary. To be honest, I just haven’t been in the mood. Often, I’d write a few hundred words, only to realize that I was talking nonsense, and then I’d delete everything. However, these past few days have been quite eventful. First, I went to Houhai with Lin Ran and Lü Zhe on the 22nd. We had a great time, but I’m too lazy to repeat the details. Houhai is a nice place, and those who have been there know what I’m talking about.

After that, I went to Yingtaoyuan, also known as the Xiangshan Botanical Garden. It was okay, but I felt like I was just going through the motions. I’ve been to four similar places this holiday, and they all have the same scenery: mountains on both sides and a small stream in the middle. So, when I went to this one, I just couldn’t muster up the enthusiasm…

Then, I went to my aunt’s house to fix her computer. Apparently, being a “computer expert” just means being able to fix computers. I naturally couldn’t resist the opportunity, and after fiddling with it for five minutes (the keyboard and speakers weren’t plugged in properly…), I earned 200 yuan (under the guise of celebrating my university admission, of course). It was a pretty good deal, considering that if I had called that “Fangzheng” person, it would have cost 150 yuan. I guess computer repair services are all pretty overpriced.

Okay, moving on to yesterday. I finally went back to school to pick up my files, and I ran into Mei and Gao Shuo from my old class. Ah, Song had said something about organizing a get-together… It’s been three months since I’ve been back to school, and I noticed that a new cake shop has opened up next to the school. It looks like the students who will be studying there in the future are in for a treat. The classrooms have also been renovated, and the old windows have been replaced with sliding ones. This means that the “era of climbing through windows” is now behind us, haha… Our chemistry professor, Cao Jüdong, used to praise the students who dared to climb through the windows.

The biology corridor at school is still the same, but the fish I had put there seem to have disappeared. There are only about 10 left now. Jiang Zhi is clearly not cut out for raising fish. That crazy kid is still in the lab, and before I knew it, he’s going to be facing his senior year. This time, he surprised me with a Burmese python, which must be over a meter long. It’s really aggressive and loves to bite people. However, I won’t have the chance to visit that lovely lab again. I hope that the China Agricultural University has more amazing and exotic animals for me to discover~~

Last night, I attended the opening ceremony of an Indian film festival with my mom. Although I’ve been to the Oriental Plaza with Lin Ran a few times before, this was the first time I realized just how big it is… After eating and drinking to my heart’s content, I watched a movie called “Lagaan,” which was about anti-terrorism. It was really good, and I have to say that Bollywood productions are not bad at all.

And then there was today. I went hiking in the morning and ended up exhausting myself. I guess my physical strength really isn’t what it used to be… This comfortable life of just lying down and not getting up (courtesy of Garfield) is coming to an end, and it’s time for me to start my new life~
