加油!共勉!

The Econometrics of Everyday Life

看到事件A就执意推导出事件B,随后武断猜想也许事件B与事件C之间是positively correlated。第二日早晨出门又偶遇事件D,便又想,难道莫非或许没准其实事件D与事件B之间存在着reverse causality?

亏你还是经济+数学+统计出身的要去投奔研究事业的人哩。难怪论文导师也怕了你,你还未张口他已在喊忙……

Sample size太小啦。Stationarity没法考证。Confidence interval恐怕是[minus infinity, plus infinity]。还是你想换probit或logit模型试试看?

教授摇头:怎样都行不通呐。

想太多了想太多了。还不快去面壁!

话太多太聒噪!封笔!少废话多做事!!

I’m a big, fat procrastinator

缘源姐姐。在研究。中国。近代。音乐。史。

写paper啊明天要交啊……历史这玩意儿真不是人学的……

每日早八点到凌晨两点的图书馆宅居生活又开始liao。这地方都变成大本营了啊。平时一个月也难得见一次的人如今低头不见抬头见了。

于是缘源姐姐平均每两小时在楼层里转悠一圈,放风稍加滋扰其他同学的学习动力。

期末考期间。图书馆里人头攒动,来晚了连坐儿都找不到。基本上来说,if it’s big enough for my laptop, it’s big enough for me。

哎,这帮high achievers,还让不让人活了……

小文语录:Writing a paper is like constipation。

哲理啊哲理……

好吧,那我回去继续粪斗了……

夜谈有感

I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.

太多的感情纠葛,听到的看到的亲身体会到的,关于我认识的和我不认识的人。

当我的第一份感情开始频频出现问题的时候,我也曾满心难过地绕着学校一圈圈地走,一遍遍问自己,为什么会这样呢,究竟哪里出错了呢。那是哪一年的早春三月,窗外阳光明媚;我呵护着谁邮寄来的12朵玫瑰,眼泪断了线地滚下来。

这些年,一段两段的缠绵,丝丝缕缕的牵挂,偶然的暧昧,唯美的相遇再分开。等到真正走出之后,才了解到,其实从来都没有为什么,没有对与错;就算有,也没有意义去探讨得太清楚,究竟谁的付出多些谁的少些,谁自私些谁博爱些,谁好谁坏。

爱究竟是怎样的,我是不懂的。但我想我已经在一点点地学着体验了。其实两个人在一起,只要彼此快乐就好了;很简单的道理。可惜,越是简单越不懂得珍惜,总是下意识地寻找那波澜壮阔,气动山河。那些原本简单的,反倒变得最难求了。

我告诉我亲爱的女朋友们,若他已不能让你快乐,就放手吧。这个星球失去了谁都一样自转公转;你可在元素周期表上,找到过伤痛与悲哀?其实真的没有谁离了谁就活不了,请你不要再自寻烦恼。

I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.

而我只想,每岁每月每个清晨,心情都能如早春三月的阳光一般,明媚灿烂。

7/8

读了石头同学的新博文,我也忍不住自责起来……这学期早上九点钟的那堂课,好像我从头到尾就没准时去过几次……逃课翘课更是常有的事……杂七杂八的东西倒是读了不少,学校里的事情却弄得一团糟……

Senioritis真是可怕~~

回想暑期里,每日6:20准时起床。7:15开始的morning meeting,我从未旷过一次,连刮九号台风那天都跑去了……

身边众多的former i-banker wannabes也陆续都对毕业后的去向有了想法。有创业的,读博的,教书的,做non-profit的,参军的……这个经济大萧条,打乱了多少份人生规划。But ironically, it has also served as the greatest reality check that we long have needed. It has provided us a break from the conventional to do some serious soul-searching, and pushed many of us to think about alternatives that we otherwise would have never considered. Who knows. Maybe 15 years from now, we’d be thanking this dreadful fall.

跟小文同学谈心。嗯,我们还是相信karma的。What goes around comes around. Just wait for your turn.

又一个学期结束了。学校里的生活虽让人留恋,但想来,人不能总拒绝变化。It’s time to grow up, and to move on to something new.

波德兰

缘源姐姐首次视察波德兰。这里的天空是林黛玉型的,永远都细雨绵绵,阴晴不定。感恩夜。多年未见的family friends,简单美味的家常餐。喂两岁小孩吃饭,同五岁小孩厮打成一团,陪六旬老人聊天。去郊游。海平面上朦胧一片,能见度为零。森林公园里雾气缭绕,参天的松柏树上爬满了青苔,水分子在枝叶的缝隙中投下身影。回程。在夜幕下行驶于高架桥上,城市在不远处灯火通明。心里一阵感动。从今以后,这里就是家啦。

有同学询问我的音乐播放器。关注了一下才发现,原来新的播放器竟是一定要被看到后才肯启动的啊……这这这,真是个attention-deprived坏脾气小孩~~

W. W. Jacobs “The Monkey’s Paw”

OMG the most awesome story ever~~

http://www.americanliterature.com/Jacobs/SS/TheMonkeysPaw.html

“Be careful what you wish for, you may receive it.” — Anonymous

……

……

There was another knock, and another. The old woman with a sudden wrench broke free and ran from the room. Her husband follwed to the landing, and called after her appealingly as she hurried downstairs. He heard the chain rattle back and the bolt drawn slowly and stiffly from the socket. Then the old womans voice, strained and panting.

“The bolt,” she cried loudly. “Come down. I can’t reach it.”

But her husband was on his hands and knees groping wildly on the floor in search of the paw. If only he could find it before the thing outside got in. A perfect fusillade of knocks reverberated throgh the house, and he heard the scraping of a chair as his wife as his wife put it down in the passage against the door. He heard the creaking of the bolt as it came slowly back, and at the same moment he found the monkeys’s paw, and frantically breathed his third and last wish.

The knocking ceased suddenly, although the echoes of it were still in the house. He heard the chair drawn back, and the door opened. A cold wind rushed up the staircase, and a long loud wail of dissapointment and misery from his wife gave him the courage to run down to her side, and then to the gate beyond. The streetlamp flickering opposite shone on a quiet and deserted road.

p.s. I highly recommend this site to everybody. teeheehee~

Interest rate on high-yield bonds: 20%;
Interest rate on AAA corporate bonds: shooting through the roof;
Expected inflation: what inflation?
Citi is selling itself;
Auto Three didn’t get bailout.

Conclusion:
This is gonna be a really long and really cold winter…

White Winter Hymnal

真是的要下大雨也不事先知会一声。
害我连续两天被浇成落汤鸡。

跑进楼道里时头发还在滴水,
牛仔裤湿透了,裤脚沉重地拖在地板上;
一脸的雨水,面容狰狞。
对面走来一位韩国女生,紧身裤佩高统雨靴,
呢子上衣加花围巾,永远不变的LV包;
完美的妆容。

我心里汗的,恨不得找个地缝藏起来。
表面上却端起肩膀,目不斜视,大踏步从她身边走过。

就知道会这样。
一场大雨之后,气温已经降到了40华氏。
最低气温也已低于30。
预报还说明天会下雪。

冬天啊漫长的冬天又来到了啊。

只可惜费城的雪,下再多也是积不住的。
想念那个大雪后学校会放假,可以滑雪橇堆雪人打雪仗的小地方。

总是这样飘啊飘的。
三所幼儿园四所小学四所中学六座城市,and still counting……
什么时候才能找个地方安定下来不再离开呢?

小文同学去DC面试。
真是的她面试搞得我比她还紧张……
赶紧搞定吧,然后我们一起商量一下我们要去哪个阳光明媚的地方旅行。

前几日在校园里碰到陈力同学,聊了一阵。
似乎大家都在迷茫在挣扎,搞得我这个大闲人都不好意思了……
他说,是啊谁像你那般运气好啊。

嗯,所以运气好的人就要知足了啊哈哈。
多读书多看报,多听多学少讲话。

选了下学期的课。
除了seminar以外没有一节是专业课!
哇哈哈真是一件振奋人心的事情!

对了,附送冬季金曲一首:
