英国时间2009年9月22号早上，也就是中国时间这一天下午六点多,我从上海飞法国然后转机到了英国的Bristol市开始了我的英国留学生活。
记得在21号晚上开往上海浦东机场的路上,我莫名地哭了起来，泪水里不知道是对家乡忽然的眷恋，对离开亲人朋友的是离愁，还是终于得终于我make it possible，最终赢得了挑战的欣慰，总之我一路哽咽着到了机场。看外面下着小雨，淅淅沥沥地敲打着车窗，而我的心，满溢着复杂的情感，禁不住地澎湃开来。由于行李超重了，所以到机场办理登机牌前忙着把一些又沉可能暂时用不到的东西取出来（一个大的失误便是把可爱的珍贵电饭煲拿了出来），后来又忙着给爸妈家人去电话，所以没有和我的他寒暄很多，而我知道他是一路支撑我走上英国留学道路最重要的人之一。所以不论将来何时何地发生何事我心里都保存着对他的感激。感谢他放开手让我自由的飞翔，但是就是因为这样我这个风筝的线会自己缠绕在他身上，AND至少现在是这样。由于拿到签证后我每天的日程都安排的特别满，忙着做出国体检打疫苗然后回徐州和家人团聚，再赶回上海动手准备行李买各种电子用品生活用品然后打包等等，每天都列出一堆事情要处理，上了飞机后我很快就睡着了，一路睡睡醒醒，很快便于到了法国戴高乐机场然后是英国Bristol机场。接着七磅的Flyer加上八磅的taxi（由于行李比较重我多给了两磅多的小费给taxi driver）我便顺利抵达我的大学学生公寓---Churchill Hall of Univeristy of Bristol开始了我的英国生活。
由于我比较幸运地获得了Hall Tutor的职位，所以我自己一个很大的房间，而且各种设施如冰箱电视热水等都有配备。但是第一天我却莫名地depressed and homesick。想着这便是一开始的Culture Shock吧：一是我现在住得是这里的富人区，大片的绿地加一路的小车和家里的感觉太不一样，似乎自己一路步行去熟悉环境和这里的步调不太一样；二是由于学生还没正式开学，所以相对来说这里比较安静所以倒是怀念中国那的人头攒动了；三是出去没有买到SIM卡而且也还没研究好这里的网络所以暂且失去了和家人的Connection感觉很清冷，而这一天9月22号这里正好又下着小雨自己出门没有带雨具Plus这两天刚好是special period，还真有点让我感觉凄凄惨，惨戚戚的感觉。呵呵。不过这天走回来后睡得很很香。只是时差还没倒过来，所以是这里的白天睡着了凌晨醒过来。其实，都是心情惹的祸，呵呵。
第二天，开始把自己行李规整好，把网络研究通了，然后出门去买了SIM卡以及一些吃的，所以即使仍旧时而小雨时而阴天心情却大不同。看着那么宽广的绿地，几个慢跑的行人以及肥肥的鸟儿在面前飞飞停停，大口呼吸着无比新鲜的空气，心情舒畅了很多，前一天低落的情绪想法都一扫而空了。晚上和Warden以及其他的几个Hall Tutor碰了面，更是激发了我的学习热情，因为我喜欢面对和应战挑战。在Churchill Hall这里一共有六个tutor, 三个在读博士，三个读硕士（包括我），而且只有我一个是非英语国家过来的。虽然学习英语十几年，但整个见面会上一下子衡量出了自己的水平，不仅仅是语言，更重要是如何交流如何表达思想如何沟通的问题。他们谈笑的方式和中国文化大相径庭，我想我最明智的做法就是Be Myself, 做我自己。中国的儒家思想中庸之道告诉我，我现在最重要的便是Hornored and Humbled, Listening and Learning. 谦虚谨慎，多听多学。做不一样的但是心怀感激的，乐观的自己：I will make a positive difference!
第三天，正式的Hall tutor 就职培训开始了。这天天气太别好，雨停了阳光也慷慨地露出这三天来的第一次笑脸，笑得很温暖很久远。见到了其他几个公寓的Hall tutor们，大家一共几十个人，只有我一个中国人，而且是唯一的亚洲人。我基本已经调整好了，一如既往地,如初生牛犊不怕虎般，轻松愉悦地跟大家交流了起来。喜欢这里的彼此友爱相互尊重的氛围。心里也默默告诉自己，我要尽最大努力做好榜样，不仅是徐州人亦或上海人的榜样，更是中国人亚洲人的榜样。培训后和一个本地的tutor一起去超市买了吃饭要用的器皿，回来煮了泡面吃。其实我在国内过得还比较小资经常自己煲汤或者和男友下馆子，很少或者准确地说说好几年没吃方便面了，但是那碗海鲜泡面却吃得异常地香，一大碗泡面加上两个黄油羊角面包我几大口就吃完了，呵呵。因为，这是我从千里之外的中国扛过来的。
今天是25号了，早上五点多醒了，时差也终于调整地差不多了，窗外鸟儿轻声歌唱，新的一天开始了；-） августа 23
Went swimming this afternoon at SISU Swimming Pool. Since it has been really long long time I have not swam, at the start I was a a little afraid of water and refused to stayed alone. Later I felt comfortable in the water gradually, I believe if you can well handle it, it's as easy and natural as walking. Unfortunately I can only be named as swim learner at the moment. Swimming is not a team sport, it requires more of individual's courage & confidence, enthusiam & endeavor rather than the poolmates. Nevertheless, a good mentor plays a pivotal role for the learner. Today, for me, a good mentor plus a good learner = fantastic time playing with water. Located some tips re swimming skills on the Internet and thought it was worth copies out here.
Many things limit how fast a swimmer can swim, from swim technique to fitness to hand and foot size to a swimmer's natural bone and joint structure. There are several swimming technique skills you can work on to get faster in the water. These skill can also make you more efficient - you might go the same speed but use less energy. To increase swim speed, decrease swimming drag or increase swimming force. Swim slipperier (yes, that is a real word) or swim stronger - or both. The first steps to faster swimming are positioning, grabbing, pressing, and rotating, things that everyone can learn. Here are a few things to check before trying to put more muscle power into your swims.
- Positioning
- You need to have your body in the best possible position to both minimize drag and increase the potential muscle power available. Get your body straight and long, parallel to the water surface, as you swim.
- Check what you see. You should be looking down at the bottom, sideways or almost up to the side as you breath, but never forward. If you look forward, your legs will tend to drop towards the bottom, and you will lose your parallel alignment with the water.
- The top of your head always points towards your destination.
Grabbing
- You must grab or catch the water so you have a way to transfer your muscle power from your body to the water.
- You need to put your hand and arm in a position that allows this to happen. Trying to grab the water with just your hand and you will be losing a lot of your grip.
- Try to use your hand and forearm.
- Imagine that you are reaching forward and down over a wall as you swim, with the edge of the wall at your elbow. Point your fingertips towards the bottom of the pool, point your elbow up towards the sky or out towards the side, and think of everything from the elbow joint down your forearm and through your fingertips as one large paddle.
Pressing
- You must press on the water with the largest muscles available. For most swimmers that means the muscles in your chest and back, not in your arms or shoulders.
- You should feel a pocket develop in your armpit as you apply force to the water.
- As you press on the water, your back and chest muscles pull your arm from ahead of you to under and behind your chest (but do all you can to maintain the fingertip down, elbow up "grab" position).
- Imagine yourself grabbing the water first, then pressing on the water. Feel your body surge forward over your arm as you press.
Rotating
- To fully use your position, your grab, and your press, you must add body rotation.
- Your body should rotate about an axis defined by a line from the top of your head through your neck, back, and legs.
- When the arm is grabbing, the body is rotated so that the grabbing arm side is under water and the opposite side is above the water - or at least closer to the water's surface than the grabbing side.
- The body rotates as one unit, from shoulders through hips, with the hips and shoulders in line with each other (this means you need to use your core muscles to hold it all together).
- After you have grabbed the water you are going to press on the water. As you press, you also rotate your body, moving the body slightly ahead of the press. moving the body so that the side that was lower is moving up towards the surface and the side that was up is moving lower (and that moving lower side's arm is moving into the water ahead of you, sliding forward and extending, but not moving into the grab or catch yet).
- Imagine a string going from your hip to your palm. Move the hip to start the press by pulling on that string when the hip begins to rotate from a deeper to a shallower position.
Swim On!

Did jogging tonight
The air is so clean, fresh after the rain
I smelled autumn coming
Enjoying of being optimistic and healthy
A good sweat makes a big sweet uaually
Feel refreshed after seeing my family
I think sometimes you need to step outside, clear your head
And remind yourself who you are, where you are now and where you wanna be
I thought my heart was opened widely before but in fact it was not
But it is trying, now, peacefully
Open to testing and judgement, criticism or compliments, ups or downs
Lost some of my naive smiles but learn to be more tough
I am still on my way
striving for survival and final thriving
Even occasionally I missed the original purpose for the pursuit
As always, I enjoy the process the most
Alexandre Dumas Pere ever said: all human wisdom is summed up in two words: wait and hope.
Right now I can not agree with it anymore.
Keep on:
Listening with you heart, following your star...

| мая 12  下雨了，谁轻声说道
坐着窗口的我赶忙打开窗户验证一下
我也轻声道“下雨乐”
然后朝对面那排坐着的一起看书的女孩送了个大大的傻笑
接着
便托着腮，走起神，发起呆来
一场春末夏初的雨
把闷热的天气和躁动的人心都清洗了一番
Couldn't be more“ 爽”了
瞧！
那一个个快活的小雨点
蹦蹦跳跳，争先恐后地从天上飞落下来
那快活劲儿把大地也逗乐了，
他们便一唱百和地一起演奏了一段沁人心扉的美妙旋律
嘻啪啪， 咚嗒嗒，嘀哒嘀哒嘀哒~~~
忽然有种冲动
想跑出去，和小雨点一起快活舞动躯体欢呼雀跃的冲动
听我歌声嘹亮，看我舞姿曼妙
任我把内心的渴望，欲望，希望，都淋漓尽致地舞动
似骄阳，似烈火，似瀑布，似小溪，似薄雾
疯狂与镇定，躁动与恬静
Well, w-e-l-l- ... ...!
But,
因为dare not 迈开步子冲出重围
还只是发呆
不过这发呆好似一场SPIRITUAL YOGA
一下子感觉舒展了许多
Hum。。。
回来了，
继续，考试准备进行式

下午五点钟的阳光
透过图书馆的透明玻璃窗折射进来
温暖但却不耀眼
明亮但却不夺目
此刻书本扉页，滑动的笔尖此刻都灼灼生辉
仿佛童话中某扇大门正在神奇的打开时的，希望的光芒
坐在窗口的我
沐浴在美好的阳光里, 闭上双眼，用力呼吸ing
任思绪尽情地放飞，心儿自由地徜徉
Feeling Grateful
用力，用心，用情，等待着生命中的每个美妙时刻的来临。。。

Part Two
In the second Part, Jonathan transcends into another society where all the gulls enjoy flying. He is only capable of this after practicing hard alone for a long time (described in the first part). In this other society, real respect emerges as a contrast of the coercive [kəu'ə:siv] 强制的 force that was keeping the former "Breakfast Flock" together. The learning process, linking the highly experienced teacher and the diligent student, is raised into almost sacred ['seikrid] 神圣的 level, suggesting that this may be the true relation between human and God. Because of this, Bach has been described as believing that human and God, regardless of the all immense difference, are sharing something of great importance that can bind them together: "You've got to understand that a seagull is an unlimited idea of freedom, an image of the Great Gull." He realizes that you have to be true to yourself.
Part Three
The introduction to the third part of the book is the last words of Jonathan's teacher: "Keep working on love." In this part Jonathan understands that the spirit cannot be really free without the ability to forgive, and that the way to progress leads--for him, at least--through becoming a teacher, not just through working hard as a student. Jonathan returns to the Breakfast Flock to share his newly discovered ideals and the recent tremendous experience, ready for the difficult fight against the current rules of that society. The ability to forgive seems to be a mandatory ['mændətəri] 命令的, 强制性的"passing condition."
"Do you want to fly so much that you will forgive the Flock, and learn, and go back to them one day and work to help them know?" Jonathan asks his first student, Fletcher Lynd Seagull, before getting into any further talks. The idea that the stronger can reach more by leaving the weaker friends behind seems totally rejected.
Hence, love, deserved respect, and forgiveness all seem to be equally important to the freedom from the pressure to obey the rules just because they are commonly accepted.
