这学期我一直本着生命不息，运动不止的体育家精神，排除万难，力排异议，花了85刀买了学校的drop in card（就是张学期卡），坚持每天锻炼一小时。事实证明，这个决定是非常英明神武滴。每天在gym里跟着音乐扭来扭去的时光是我一天中最快乐的。到底做不成淑女...每天这一小时，不仅强壮了身体，也还真学了点东西。慢慢地我也能听懂了什么下蹲叫squat, 肚脐叫belly button, 大腿后肌肉叫hamstring muscles,...，还普及了运动常识，比如平衡不好不是腿上没劲，而是腰腹力量差。站立骑自行车的时候要收缩腹肌可以保护膝盖。学会了n多种使用哑铃的姿势，可以练身上各处的肌肉。还有好多什么都不用，就跟自己较劲，就能累得满身大汗的法门。据说要避免运动损伤膝盖，要尽量少做high-impact的运动，比如跳绳，跑步这种。我很注意，很小心，我只参加low-impact的训练，如果有些high我也会自发的把它改成low,比如人家跳起来我就翘翘脚跟。结果，结果，还是把自己给伤了，老了老了。想我当年11，12岁时，因为跑得有点快，被抓去校队训练，每天早上跑6000米，从来不知道什么叫膝盖痛。现在怎么会因为春假趴在地上做普拉提搞的膝盖痛呢。人家都是用普拉提来做膝盖手术后的康复训练的，完全是no-impact啊。就趴那不痛不痒的动动胳膊腿儿，咋就会膝盖痛呢？我无论如何也不明白。刚才作了一个详细地网上搜索，终于明白了。估计是我太急功近利，把膝盖里的筋给over stretch了。(老爸老妈如果来审查我的blog,千万别担心，基本算不上什么运动伤害）我得休养生息一段时间。好吧，就转型为水上运动。专家说了运动员如果拉伤了膝盖必须休息，还想保持强壮的肌肉可以游泳。哈，我怎么能放弃我刚刚炼出来的二头肌，三头肌呢。据说gym里的游泳池旁边还可以蒸桑拿呢，以后多在水里泡泡就是了。我就不信，我在水里也能把自己给伤了。

　　　　石室诗士施氏，嗜狮，誓食十狮。施氏时时适市视狮。十时，适十狮适市。是时，适施氏适市。氏视是十狮，恃矢势，使是十狮逝世。氏拾是十狮尸，适石室。石室湿，氏使侍拭石室。石室拭，氏始试食是十狮。食时，始识是十狮，实十石狮尸。试释是事。

今天在去gym的路上看到地上躺着一只黑色的毛线手套，忽然想起来上午看到的一则很有意思的新闻。一个匹兹堡的女孩建立了一个网站（www.onecoldhand.com),是专门帮人们寻找丢失的手套的。为什么一定是找手套的？她的理由是比如衣服，帽子等等绝大多数东西，如果丢掉了，对于丢失的人是个损失，但是拾到的人却可以使用，所以只是社会资源的重新分配，构不成社会福利的净损失。手套却不一样，最常见的情况是人们只丢一直手套，丢掉的人和拾到的人都不能用，这是资源的浪费，所以手套一定要reunite. 她在城市里竖了好多收集箱，拾到手套的人会把手套放进去，写清楚是在那里找到的，然后就是拍照，上网公布。据说到现在为止已经帮几十只手套找到了主人。 不得不佩服老美的想象力，:o) ，太有创意了。我又想了，那也可以帮人找鞋子，找袜子啊，这也是成双成对的东西啊。转念一想，谁能把鞋子和袜子丢在大街上，那也够牛的，哈。

The following is how an ABC(American born Chinese) describes his parents, which are also what Americans cannot understand about us Chinese. Let's largh at ourselves.

1. You unwrap gifts very carefully, so you can save and reuse the wrapping (and especially those ribbons)

2. When there is a sale on toilet paper, you buy 100 rolls and store them in your closet or in the bedroom of an adult child who has move out.

3. You keep a Thermos of hot water available at all times.

4. You save grocery bags, tin foil, and tin containers. You use the grocery bags to hold garbage.

5. You hate to waste food. Even if you're totally full, if someone says they're going to throw away the leftovers on the table, you'll finish them. (Your mom will lecture about starving kids in Africa ). You have Tupperware in your fridge with three bites of rice or one leftover chicken wing.

6. You don't own any real Tupperware-only a cupboard full of used but carefully rinsed margarine tubs, take out containers, and jam jars.

7. You have a collection of miniature shampoo bottles that you take every time you stay in a hotel.

8. You wipe your plate and utensils or wash them in a small basin of hot water before you eat every time you go to a restaurant.

9. You own a rice cooker and a slow cooker.

10. You wash your rice at least 2-3 times before cooking it.

11. You fight (literally) over who pays the dinner bill.

12. You have a teacup with a cover on it.

13. If you're under age 20, you own a really expensive walkman/discman, if you're over 20, you own a really expensive camera.

14. You're a wok user.

15. You only make long distance calls after 7pm.

16. You prefer your shrimp with the heads and legs still attached – it means they're fresh.

17. You never call your parents just to say hi.

18. If you don't live at home, when your parents call, they'll ask if you've eaten, even if it's midnight.

19. Your parents tell you to boil herbs and stay inside when you get sick. They also tell you not to eat fried foods or baked foods because they're heaty (yeet hay in Cantonese).

20. You e-mail your Chinese friends at work, even though you only sit 10 feet apart.

21. You always cook too much.

22. You eat every last grain of rice in your bowl, but don't eat the last piece of food on the table.

23. You starve yourself before going to all you can eat buffet.

24. You know someone who can get you a good deal on jewellery or electronics, computers.

25. You own your own meat cleaver and sharpen it.

26. Your toothpaste tubes are all squeezed paper-thin.

27. You wrap with napkins all the knives, spoons and forks of the airline that you fly on and put in your travel bag as souvenirs.

28. You never forget to take with you all the unused bath and facial tissues when you check out from the hotel because you believe its was included in the price of the room.

29. You will laugh at yourself when you read all of them.

30. And you will always proud because you're Chinese!

http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,21598,22492511-5005375,00.html?from=mostpopThe Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa. Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses logic detail oriented facts rule words and language present and past math and science can comprehend knowing acknowledges order/pattern perception knows object name reality based forms strategies practical safe

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses feeling "big picture" oriented imagination rules symbols and images present and future philosophy & religion can "get it" (i.e. meaning) believes appreciates spatial perception knows object function fantasy based presents possibilities impetuous risk taking

 The most fun part is to do this together with several other people. You won't agree with each other. I saw the dancer revolve clockwise at first. Then I stared at her for some time and made her change direction successfully. Actually the dancer never changes the way she moves, the only thing changes is your illusion.  

My students gave me flowers today to thank my work for the whole semester. I held an extra office hour today for their final. When I was surrounded by these questioners a librarian came up to me and gave me this bunch of flowers with a card attatched to it. They are so sweet and so good at surprising people. :)

今天过得实在是疯狂，以次流水账留念。

8：00 起床

8：40 冲上校车去经济系上宏观课。

8：50 下校车，在车站旁的小超市买了一个菜花两个西兰花，提了一天。

9：30 和同组的俄罗斯妹妹讨论如何做等会的presentation,结果老师为了节约时间取消了。有些郁闷，还不如多睡会呢。

11：00 下课，溜进时间序列教授办公室问了几个问题，给我教的一年级的小朋友复印了作业答案。坐车回主校区，已经来不及吃饭了，于是买了个汉堡。

12：20-12：30 坐在教室里狼吞虎咽地把汉堡搞定。

12：30开始上博弈论。

2：00 时间序列期末考试，本来以为有那么多不懂的一定对着卷子相面了。结果还行，考的都很straightforward。略感欣慰。

3：30-4：00 躲在图书馆的角落里把一年级小朋友的作业答案扫了一遍。

4：00-6：30 给一年级小朋友答疑，度过了历史上最忐忑的office hour。因为要准备期末考试，其实我都没做作业阿！！说了几次不知道，助教姐姐的威望可能有所下降。：（

6：45 终于回家了。把西兰花扔进微波炉，加热四分钟，洒点盐和橄榄油。烤两片面包，涂点黄油。坐在电脑前边看柯南边吃晚饭，终于舒服了。

This week, fight for game theory and IO finals. Go hoos, Go!
