The shawshank redemption

   I watched some movies these days,Mona Lisa's smile, The shawshank redemption,Les Choristes.

The Shawshank Redemption-a wonderful film!I watched this movie today, it impressed me, just like prison break!The story may sound simple, but the truth behind the words is remarkable. When I heard the name of the film first time, I considered the Shawshank to be a man’ name, but in face it is a jail——a hell in the world. Not only for the inhumanity of the jailors——they behaved brutally; but also for the jail gnawed at people’ heart by keeping them waiting and waiting as life passed. It seemed that only those utterly worthless people who gave up everything could survive. That’s where the story happened.

   The part impressed me most is when Andy got out of the jai. He extended his arms in front of him in the heavy rain as if he were welcoming the fresh air and the freedom. At that moment, I saw the faith win the darkness, discharging light dazzling the eyes in the dark blue sky. Under the light, I could feel my recreant innermost being shivering as his voice said: “Remember, Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies!”

   It encourages people to fight to preserve the dignity of human beings, to appreciate the beauty of life, and the most important is to keep hope forever. He once that is born, that is die. Everyone is the same. The only difference is whether busy living or busy dying. The film tells me even a man can live once, but if he keeps faith, keeps hope and works his life right, then once is enough. The faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark, the hope is the chief happiness that this world affords, and the life should be full of the singing of the bird and the happiness hope brings. " What’s that do you think? It’s the trembling of the heart, the singing of the mind, the flying of the soul and the hope to be free.”

Another semester passed

 Another semester has passed.

     Something occurred out of my mind , out of my control. Wonders never cease.

     I have never imagined myself being on television--those days preparing my topic on TV program ‘Today I Host’ were really terrible--because of the pressure of the editor's criticism, the pressure of the time, the pressure of the not-so-much-cooperative guest in my program , the pressure of the first time I was on TV alone, all these things made me perturbed and upset. During those days , I cannot focus on my study, cannot get along well with my room-mates, only small things could make me feel mad, so here, i want to express my apology to my friends. I absolutely scared them .

     I have never imagined myself giving a speech so fluently and relaxingly in class , in front of so many people .I am not an extroverted girl, but after my catching every chance to practice my oral English during class, after my well preparing for the topic teacher offered while others simply ignored it ,after my overcoming my mental handicap to deliver an oral presentation, i did it ,i did a good job in my major during this year, i won almost every teacher and student's compliment, which have never happened but i was always longing to have in the past twenty years. At this point ,i am very proud of myself, maybe no one believe it(especially my families used to consider me as a shy girl ) ,no one know this feeling. It's cool, absolutely!

     I have never imagined i have accumulated so many words and expressions and, more importantly ,my knowledge, my horizon when i surf my mind and my electric dictionary--lots of technology news lots of foreign websites, lots of blogs, lots of singers ,lots of campus news and stories. It will benefit me one day, maybe i become a leader in student union, i will make advantage of what i know to enrich our school life in a creative and innovative way, maybe one day my idea become a highlight in the whole school, or in the whole China. As you know, life is full of possibilities!

     ' May it be 'is the title of my cyber-space. It is the theme song of my favorite film--The Lord of The Rings ,which comes with me all the time during this year. When i feel sad and hopeless, i watch it (it preserves in my laptop)and i am moved and shocked by their unity ,their strong belief of bright future, though this road towards peace is tough and hopeless, they believe it firmly. Every word of this film give my power ,make me stand up again and again. The story let me know that even if the ordinary people can create miracle.So, have you figured out why i choose 'may it be' as my space's title ?Do you know what dose it mean ?It means everything is possible!       

      I learned a lot about campus life in this year, like competition and jealousy between peers, especially among girls, and something black and dirty in student union. At first ,you may feel upset and unfair and cannot understand ,however, gradually, you are accustomed to it then, you adapt to it ,and accept. Finally, you draw a conclusion--Don't make intimate friends in college, a sip of friendship is just all right.

confusion

I haven't  been feeling  very well during these days.A lot of things confused me .
Simply speaking ,i have a increasingly strong feeling that university is really a small society.
First is the thing about scholarship.Since now  have i heard that credits not only have something to do with your marks but your campus activities and job of your class.i am regretting not involving in these things actively .In the last term the only thing i did was study ,study ,study.TO here,i remember something pulished in Advanced studio classroom about workload among colledge students.It puts that  "the higher a student's grade point average(GPA),the more likely he is to seek help from a mental health expert.They do pretty well ,and think ,i can take on more .they are afraid they will liose their edge.they are skipping meals ,they don't exerise ,they have no recovery time.it is all stress.run,run,run.Then problems emerge,someone calls it overachiever culture.It caused from peers,own lofty aspiration,parents' expectation."
Believe it or not ,i am having these thoughts for a long time,especially in colledge,i have my edge in English in this school,i don't want to lose it ,so i must work harder than others .However,at the same time ,i lost something in other activities.
However,do i really have the courage to be someone in the campus,do i?I have no idea.This really is a contradiction.
Now ,i can say ,to small,the whole class is controled by our leaders;to large,the whole English department is dominated by every class's leaders.So ,once we have some activities,always those people,always.like me , the average people have no chance at all!Then,even we have the highest marks in the exams,our credits are lower than those guys.we have no chance to get scholarship.then, we will be average students forever!
Another thing is the friendship between my roomate lemon and i.I can't tell exactly what happened bwetween us ,but i can feel that certain problem slowly emerged,and we will have a storm of quarrel in the near future!
Oh Lord!
