Dating from the check-in day on 9 Sept. 2004, it is the 800th day today. My inspiration rushes out. So that I pick up the pen and write a summary of my last 800-day campus life to memorize this meaningful day.

How time fly. My campus life has past more than a half. To think back the past, I have the mixed feeling. I saw the indelible scenes when walking along in front of the YUAN PING gymnasium. It was raining that day; I arrived at my new campus with my parents. I was so excited. I came to the mysterious ivory tower. The entire thing to me is such fresh. From today I can really enjoy the legendary campus life. So many dreams in my heart would come true. I can’t use a word to describe this feeling.

My campus life started…

Dormitory

My dorm is where the first place I reached in the campus. I’m so sorry to my dorm. I thought it was fairly bad when I saw it. Although I was with a sufficient psychological preparation, unexpectedly, I asked my father to turn to his friends who are in my school to help me to find out a better dorm in the campus. So that, I moved out from it in which I had lived for not more than one week. So, not only I missed the chance to live together with my classmates from all over China, and deeply exchanged. I isolated myself from the collective. To recall it, I can only say I was hotheaded at that time.

Not bad. One of my classmates moved to the new dorm with me. Thank him sincerely. Because of him, I feel I am not totally isolated from my class. Meanwhile, I have lived with him for two years; he becomes one of my best friends in my campus life.

Military training

Every day’s training was not too hard, I could accept, yet it last a long period. Before having training, our teachers and senior fellow apprentices told us, it is a good chance for you all to be familiar. It is true. I knew all the boys in my class and built up a good friendship during that time. They are so important in my campus life as well.

Study

My study started after the military training. My first class is collage English. I can still remember what had happened at that time. In my first class, I met one who is the most important in my campus life. I met you in the first day. It seems like the God arranges you to appear on my side. How marvelous!

After that, others classes began continually.

As a student, of course, I should treat study as the most important matter. However, I can hardly feel the atmospheres of study in Shenzhen University (SZU) for two years.  Outer environmental factors affect SZU. Located in such a highly economization city, even the university is full of realism and utilitarianism. It makes me feel that most of the students come to SZU are only for a job not for learning. Minority would chase for the achievement of study. Actually, does the environment influence the people, or the people build up the environment? The slim atmosphere is the block in heart of every principal of SZU. “Prosper study” is a slogan of every new principal. But it doesn’t work too much. SZU is still that SZU, in which those hard-study students are treated as the weak community.

I have said “I don’t want to know about anything none of my business except for study” for many times. After that, I have said “I do want to study hard, but the environment disturb me” for many times as well. Well, you can say I am not with the fierce determination. Though I consider myself as that one you say. I cannot devote myself into a certain affair. Yet, you must admit this is the fact.

I am a person who can be influenced easily. In this environment, even though I think I am harder than most of the students in SZU, my score is not so good. Especially is the English. In the past few years, Shenzhen students’ English is in the top level in NMET in China. However, I got a stare and tongue-tied mark in CET-4 in June. It proves that the study like boat sailing against the current, if unable to move forward, one will inevitably lag behind.

Association

Once you enter you campus, except for reading books, sporting, and association life will be your one of your unforgettable memory in your campus life. In every association, you can reveal your individual character; show your ability; make friends from all over the country; learn kinds of skill… I know. But I don’t like this all along. It is result-based.

Others always say university is a place where your dream starts. But, for me, I come to SZU because my dream shattered. Thought I didn’t get a too high mark in NMET, it was above the band one line. So many classmates are the same with me. To come to SZU is not my will. At that time, one way to make me psychology balance is to know someone else’s mark is higher than mine.

Because of this thought, I have lived in a low spirit for a time after I came to SZU. No thing can inspire my interest, including those meaningful and interesting student union and all kinds of associations. This leads to a chain reaction. I don’t know whether I was right or faults when I recall.

Nevertheless, I joined in one club that I took interest in it, the travel association. It seems it was a wrong choice as well. I intended to get information and help of the qualifying examination for tour guide. Not only I got nothing, but also I was cheated. The fact proves that that is a meaningless and futureless association. Afterwards, I often admired my classmates who chose the colorful association. Correct associations would make your campus life colorful, incorrect associations would make it bland. Opportunity knocks only once. My association life came to the end in desperation.

Although I have never entered the student union, yet I could hear about much news in many ways. So many freshmen consider that as a place where is full of competition, where you can improve yourselves. As matter of fact, that is full of cheat and power struggle. People inside it have their own scheme. I think I am not good at playing the power, so that I don’t regret any more.

Scholarship

Be mentioned above, here is one of the chain reactions. There’re many kinds of scholarships in university. Certainly, those who study very well can get the scholarship, and those who are active in many ways in the campus can apply the scholarship as well. My score is not high enough to reach the standard; I don’t take part in any activity in my campus either. Of course I can’t get any scholarship. While I am admiring my classmate who gets the scholarship, I usually think over about if this predicament is caused by my mistake or not. The same sentence, leave this to the later generations to appraise.

Social contact circle

This is one of the chain reactions too. Friends are the most precious thing of one’s life. University is really a good place for you to make friends. And your friends can be a part of your career in the future. However, if I jump out of the circle of my class and classmates in middle school, I know few friends in this campus. So, I admire my classmates who are known by many people on campus. Few activities cause few friends. From the perspective of this, I have to admit I have lost more than my other classmates.

Subject choice

I will choose which subject to study in the forth term. I like that kind of choice which few people like. For example, I chose geography as my X subject in my senior high time. Others always laugh at me, they call me crazy. I think they don’t understand. What I do is not in other to propose something new and different. I chose business school because of I like this subject. As my head of faculty said, “You’ll regret if you don’t choose this subject for all life time.” I believe I am right to make this decision. Actually everyone needs to believe their choice.

It is autumn again. This is my third autumn in SZU. Autumn is a season for harvest. After 800 days, though I get little, yet I know much. My experience increases little, my ideology matures much.

Many opportunities will return after its’ past, for example, the sun will rise in every next morning. But, you will lose some opportunities forever when you miss it once. You always treasure what you lost. This is a meaningless sentence. To think more deeply, can the sun which rise tomorrow be the same as this one set today? So I say, people should treasure the opportunity once appear in front of you. Life is too short. There won’t be too many opportunities for you, even it appears, and it will disappear so fast. Opportunities are always for those who are preparing well. In the past two years, I did miss so many opportunities. I will lose more if I continue to be upset. The fact can’t be changed, the future can’t be told, and we can only grasp the present. Never let yourself to be upset when you recall your campus life in the future. We need a spirit, to try hard to become a backbone of Chinese nation. We need this spirit to lead our to spend the lift campus life.

 各位嫌烦就别看了.

If you think it is too boring, i suggest you not read it.

突然发觉自己的中英文水平都差了好多。高中的中文水平，以及不如高中的英文水平。可能只有中国人才能以中国式英语的方式来看懂我的文章。

各位请赐教. 

I find both my Chinese and English ability become worse. A senior high level for Chinese and a lower senior high level for English. Maybe, only Chinese can use the Chinese style English to understand my composition.

Thank for your suggestion.
