My prediction
During rest of my lifetime, I will graduate from this university and I may have a deeper education like a master degree. I might be able to live in another place, which could be a prosperous city or a small village. I could be able to find a job after my graduation, but I am not sure I will not to make some changes. Anyway I will do my best to have a good life. I may not find my Mr. right in four years, but I will certainly continue my pursuit of happiness. I am sure I can live the way I like and I will make my dream come true with my sweat. I know my life might be rough and I am ready to be tough,
skiing
Skiing evolved gradually from snowshoeing and originally was a practical way of getting
from one place to another in the cold winter. Early forms of skiing resembled today's
Nordic, or cross-country, style.
Sondre Norheim is often called the "father of modern skiing". In the 19th century,
Norheim invented bindings that enabled the skier to do turns while skiing down hills.
This form of skiing was called Slalom (sla låm, Norwegian dialect expression for
a difficult track) by Norheim and his contemporaries. This form of skiing is now
referred to as Telemark skiing or telemarking.
The invention of firmer bindings to anchor the skier's feet to the ski, likely by
Austrian Mathias Zdarsky, enabled the skier to turn more effectively and led to the
development of Alpine, or Downhill, skiing.
Shortly thereafter, in the early 20th century, Austrian Hannes Schneider pioneered
the idea of rotating the body to help steer the skis. Soon this Arlberg technique,
named for his home region, spread around the world and helped make skiing a popular
recreational activity.
How to find a good job?
1.Some people are lucky enough to find a great job right away, but that isn't the case for most of us, Susan says. Patience is key.
2.Start by making a list of all the things you have to offer, including the skills that you have and the way you differentiate yourself from other people who have those same skills.
3.Evaluate your needs. How much does money matter to you? A good boss? Your own office?
4.Limit your schedule, whether that means eliminating your favorite TV show or cutting back on a few social events, and put the extra time into job hunting.
5.Susan says it's important to use the Internet wisely. It should be a tool, but don't let it drive your search. Networking and interaction with other professionals is just as important. If you don't think you have a network, look around you—everyone you know is a connection and you never know who might boost your job search, Susan says.
6.Evaluate your appearance. Changing your look and making sure you're modern can make all the difference, especially with older workers.
7.Create what Susan calls an "inventory of stories" that you can rely on during an interview. Think of times you've taken important.

Mid autumn festival
we also eat mooncake today.
and there is a story for this woman called Change.Once upon a time, the earth had ten suns. They burned the crops and people suffered from famine. Houyi, a lesser god and a highly-skilled archer, felt sorry for mankind, so he decided to shoot down nine of the suns. After he shot down the suns, he became a hero. He had a beautiful wife name Chang’e (also a lesser god) and they lived happily together. Houyi gathered many followers and one day they all went hunting together regularly. One day, on Houyi’s way back home the Jade Emperor (the highest god) gave Houyi a pill which granted eternal life as a reward for shooting down the suns. He warned Houyi, “Make no haste to swallow the pill.” Houyi loved Chang’e very much and did not want to leave her, so he gave the pill to Chang’e and let her store the pill in a safe place. Chang’e put the pill in her jewelry box. But one of Houyi’s apprentices, Peng, discovered this secret. He decided to steal the pill.
One day Houyi and some other disciples went to the mountain. Peng pretended he was sick so that he could stay at home. Everyone went to the mountain except Chang’e, who stayed at home. Peng burst into Chang’e’s room and forced her to give him the pill. Chang’e knew she was no match for Peng so she took flight and flew far away. She did not want to leave her husband, so she stopped at the moon which is close to Earth. After Houyi discovered what had happened, he was very angry and heartbroken. He looked up into the night and called Chang’e’s name. He saw that on the moon there was a shadow that looked like Chang’e, so he ran and ran and tried to get to the moon. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t reach the moon.
As for Houyi, he built himself a palace inside the sun as “Yang”-阳 (the male principle), with Chang’e as “Yin”-阴(the female principle). Once a year, on the 15th day of the full moon, Houyi visits his wife. That is why the moon is full that night.
