First Legal Skip of School on September 1st in 12 Years

I’ve been quite lazy lately, but I finally got up today and changed the password for my Agricultural Bank card issued by school. School starts the day after tomorrow, and I’ll soon be entering a new environment. This afternoon, the usually lively “Nongda 06 New Students” group was much quieter, apparently because many of my friends from other places have already set off on their journeys. Sometimes I envy those students who get to study away from home, because they have the opportunity to experience a new city. With nothing better to do, I went to browse the school’s Wuse Tu BBS and found that the homepage featured a notice that read “Warm Welcome to New Students” posted by the Student Dormitory Service Department. However, upon closer inspection, there wasn’t any substantial content. I was hoping to see which dormitory I’d been assigned to…


Today, I discovered a fun domain name

It’s in Chinese pinyin, which translates to “Mom said that even if you register a domain name that’s too long, Baidu can still search for it.” Apparently, this is the longest domain name currently in use. When you click on it, you’re directed to Baidu’s homepage, which suggests that Baidu has purchased this domain name. I think it’s quite amusing, so I’ve added it to my bookmarks. From now on, I’ll use this URL to access Baidu - it’s much more impressive than the usual www.baidu.com~~

The summer break is coming to an end, and I haven’t accomplished many of the things I had planned to do. It’s really a pity. Now I realize that the summer vacation after high school is like this~ Three months may seem short, but when I look back on the time I spent preparing for the college entrance exams in June, it all feels like a blur.. This morning, I was woken up by the noise from the nearby elementary school’s opening ceremony, haha. This is indeed my “first legal day off on September 1st in 12 years” (quoted from Su Wei). 12 years, yes, 12 years ago on September 1st, I must have been standing nervously in my elementary school’s auditorium. Back then, I wouldn’t have imagined that 12 years later, I’d be spending September 1st in bed, pretending to be dead.
