Hey

I�can't help it. I feel unloved.

One more year till graduation. That's what we all think about. That's when we move off to highschool and start fresh. I loved that. I�love being able to start new, reinvent yourself.

But what if i don't start out the way i want to. What if it starts out EXACTLY like how my jr high years started? What if history repeats itself for another torturous round?

What if?�

生命的质朴和美丽

�

今年夏天，我家花盆里长着一棵嫩草，整理花盆时我没把它拔掉，也没刻意地培育它，任它自由生长，没想到它长得异常茁壮。一个夏天它的高度超过阳台上的棉花和我们家所有的其他花卉，已经长到比敦敦还高。8月上旬，草的上端，开了很多美丽的小白花，花落后结了无数的草籽，秋天来了，草粗壮的主干和叶子都干了，但它没有弯腰，还是优雅地挺立着，任风把它的花籽吹向四面八方。我十分欣赏这棵天上飞来的草，它就像一本书，向我展现了生命的质朴和美丽。

�Justin learned to ride his bicycle without training wheels. And he did this on his own without even falling off once. One of his training wheels kept lifting off the ground and he learned to balance on one training wheel, then none. Justin is so safety conscious that when I took off both his training wheels that weren't touching the ground anyways, Justin said, "I think I need to wear a helmet and knee pads." When I told him that he really doesn't have to because he has been riding on 2 wheels all along and it will only be in the backyard, Justin said, "I really should wear the helmet and the knee pads because this is the first time," and he ran off to the garage, got his safety gears on and without missing a beat, he rode his bicycle with no training wheels. That same day, on Sunday, Justin told his Saddleback Sunday school teacher, Ms. Anne that he can ride his bicycle with only 2 wheels.

当60后碰上90后

�

现在大家不讲代沟了，不知从何时开始，大家都按科学的社会学研究方法，把劳动人民以十年一层分得极其清爽，50后，60后，70后，80后和90后。2000后还没成气候所以还没有正式入围。我们这个三口之家就是由两个60后和一个90后组成的。

�

家庭里总是有大事小情，问题解决的过程，是90后和60后的情商较量过程，陈家现在的局势是，独立忍者90后气焰嚣张，整得60后双人纵队很难自控，并且经常找不着感觉。

昨天早上为了点小事，我骂了敦敦一顿，敦敦没说话，还以大将风度，站起来走开了。晚上见我多云转晴了，这位90后对60后语重心长了一番， “My dear old mom, I did not say a single word when you lost your temper in the morning, I can use my power to control myself, but you cann’t, and I can understand that you are going through a special time period in your life, however, you should try to control and become powerful like me ”.

骂别人的人实际上应该有危机感，因为自己不留神也很容易被人骂，昨天我和敦敦一起乘电梯，他先按了一部电梯的按钮，我闲太慢，就顺手又按了另一部电梯的按钮，没想到这个简单的动作触动了这位90后的环保神经，他见我没听他的制止，随即大发雷霆，说我不够环保。我虽挨了骂但我心理还真挺高兴。若中国的90后都注重生活中的环保细节，等他们做了国家领导人，节能就是可能的了。

The air is awful right now.� There's a fire and last night it was only 5% contained.� Parts of Altadena have even had to evacuate.� I feel so nauseous from all this smoke.� The smoke is really awful.� I am also getting headaches.� As of last night there were 4 people injured, but the fire started on Wednesday.
