the hardest thing i've ever done is keep believing
there's someone in this crazy world for me
the way that people come and go through temporary lives
my chance could come and i might never know

i used to say "no promises, let's keep it simple"
but freedom only helps you say goodbye
it took a while for me to learn that nothing comes for free
the price i paid is high enough for me

i know i need to be in love
i know i've wasted too much time
i know i ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
and fool enough to think that's what i'll find
so here i am with pockets full of good intentions
but none of them will comfort me tonight
i'm wide awake at 4 a.m. without a friend in sight
i'm hanging on a hope but i'm all right

今天俺P颠颠的去和论文导师碰头，他一直盯着俺的T-Shirt，不晓得为啥子。后来他忍不住了说，你穿了Wrong shirt，下次再穿曼联的T-Shirt，我给你论文直接扣十分！俺往墙上一瞥，一面阿森纳的队旗赫然印入眼帘，真是欲哭无泪。哎呀，看来在英国做球迷要低调。P.S:其实俺也就是觉得那曼联T恤好看，俺的心一直属于意大利。

俺有室友若干，两个来自美国，剩下的分别来自日本，新加坡和加拿大。其中有一美国室友表现一直差强人意，不仅卫生习惯不好，引得蚊虫乱飞；而且甚少考虑她人，经常半夜制造各种噪音。所有室友都对她抱怨连天，烧香拜佛的祈祷她的离去。我与其通过在公告板上贴便条的方式，委婉抗议过一次，结果收效甚微，后来更是变本加厉的卷土重来。俺一看，不是她的对手，便决定以中国人的宽宏大量睁一只眼闭一只眼。只有新加坡的那位同志一直与其你来我往，刀剑相对。这天，这位美国人贴了个字条，说是举办生日派对，邀请我们参加。我们面面相觑，很是不屑，均表示不作出任何回应，我也应和，就这样散去。第二天，俺发现除了俺和新加坡人以外，每个人的门上都有一张小纸条，曰：thanks for your treat / gift (谢谢你的礼物)。原来，除了我和新加坡同学，剩下的人都私下送了她生日礼物。

 

嗯，值得玩味，这大概就是发达国家的发达之道吧。
