Last Saturday, I went to see Butterfly Effect 2 with my sister. Paradoxically, I was inspired and disappointed. Maybe the disappointing part came from my great expectation. I hadn’t seen its first film before and from its name I guessed it would be a movie full of exciting shots. It did have, but for most of time, I just saw a helpless man, called Nick, coming back and forth in the past. He tried to change happened and unchangeable things, but every decision he made instead caused cripples and everyone lead a totally different life. He at last realized things would not go as men’s will and then decided to sacrifice to save his girlfriend and friends.

Though this subject of the movie was kind of cliché, I still got something from it. His mother told him not always tries to control everything and put it in order. It’s time for him to let it go. What a simple advice! But, how many people can apprehend it? It is quite true: you win some and lose some in the entire life. In this way, don’t be so stubborn at something sometimes. What’s more, if you hope your life to be stable, it is impossible because life is like sea full of waves, which would trap you down at any time.

Hahaha…actually, at the end of this article, I am a little bit dizzy because I’m hungry. Hope u can understand what I’m sharing with u.

BTW, if you have seen the movie, either one or two, welcome to discuss with me! Another movie worth recommending is Silk, whose trailer is really horrible. I can’t wait to see!

On the Road of Dilemma

Since this semester begins, I have become nervous than before. I am in a dilemma. I feel I don’t have a lot of time to prepare entrance exams for graduate schools, but I have been thinking about whether or not I should attend the screening test. Everyone knows it needs to take efforts to prepare tremendous materials for the screening test. It spends a lot of time, which can be used to study more literary texts. What’s more, not every school provides the quota for the test. Even though you prepare the materials very well, you are not definitely qualified. Under this circumstance, you have to admit the fact: your efforts are probably in vain. However, after talking to a professor of English Literature, I feel my previous thought, I mean the efforts are in vain, is wrong. The professor tells me that when I collect information about the materials for the test, I also enhance the understanding of the materials I am preparing for. The screening test is a chance and its written exam can be used to test to what extent you have prepared for the graduate-school exam. In this way, I decide to give myself an opportunity. I will do my best to prepare for all the materials the screening test needs and embrace it without fear. Whether or not I am qualified at last, at least I can face myself. I am very grateful to my friends, who back me up, support me, endure my grumbling and hysteria and confirm my confidence in the road of keeping studying, especially studying the piles of literary texts! Oh! My friends, can all of you continue to be my “trash can” in the following year?
