documentation of valuable things in life

Went to the Natural Sciences Museum in Houston with Mom, Dad and Honey. Had a great time.... Looking forward to watch the Maya 3-D vedio with her next Thursday.

做有意义的事，说起来很简单，做起来却很难，难在坚持，难在自律。 论文写的差不多，有些时间可以静下心来考虑考虑了，怎样生活，做什么是才算是有意义呢？ 两个方面：首先是这些事，能让自己成长，进步，至少要让自己充实快乐，另一方面就是能让别人快乐，对别人有帮助。 对于自己来说，想到了几条具体的事，要坚持做下去，避免空虚，不长进， 1）专业上，每天坚持读一篇文章，记录要点 2）交际上，每天要和一个朋友联系，可以在QQ上留言，做评论，增进友情 3）找工作方面，每天争取发一封邮件或者填一个工作申请，或者和招聘者联系 4）提高找工作技能，表达能力，面试水平。 对于帮助朋友来说，在不牺牲自己利益的条件下，保持真诚，用心，尽力。避免拖拉和麻烦。

太过浮躁，欠缺思考。

面对没遇到的困难和问题，要做到想了办法和尽了力。 在最绝望的时刻，能尽最大的努力。

         博士论文到了最后冲刺阶段，然而我好像还没有找到读博士的状态，懒懒散散，沾沾自喜，自以为是。          最近又在看"士兵突击”，看到三多有很多地方和我颇似。做人要做有意义的是， 做人要有目标是我看这部电视剧最大的收获和感触。         不管是读书还是看电视，还是总能感受到一次次对我大脑和灵魂的冲击，让我一次次自省。然而，就像火燎地皮干，几分钟过去就又被我抛之脑后了。回想一次次自己立下的目标，一次一次被自己打败，真的觉得自己是个失败者。        当然了，不要怀疑自己的能力，只要努力，还是都可以做好的。        有什么不能做好呢。        今天设定一个小小的目标，去实现它吧。

他好像有化腐朽为神奇的本领。

尽了全力，心里才踏实。

心情非常压抑，郁闷。 为自己不能控制自己而感到十分沮丧。 一次次的背叛自己对自己的承诺，让我慢慢地又开始丧失信心。 农村出身的我，现在竟贪图享受，安逸。原来吃苦，努力的精神快被腐蚀殆尽。 清醒吧， 从小事做起， 一件件，履行自己的诺言。

真对不起，林沂，知道你的心痛都是因我而起。 我犯下了错误，你却仍对我如此大度，让我非常的感动。我愿意回头，也表明我内心的真实想法，和你相爱一生，永远在一起才是我真正想要的生活。从此，我会因你心痛而心痛，因你高兴快乐而更加快乐，这就是我对爱人的感觉。愿意为你做任何事，用快乐，甜蜜， 珍惜和疼爱尽快抚平你的伤痛。

1) Searching function is more powerful than I thought. You can search and replace any number, which was out of my expectation. The symbol for any number is ^#.  So when you are searching some number with a "m" after it such as "3m", you will be able to find it by searching "^#m" and replace it with "^# m". That is awesome to fix the problem of missing space. 2) One of the problems that I met when using endnote is that when you cite some paper in the form of Dalrymple (2009), I have not idea how to insert that in to the reference list. This needs to be cleared for future convenience. 3) === plus Enter, can make a double line and --- plus enter makes a single line.

1) When describing directions, use North, South, West and East instead Left and Right 2) Every time using a number with a unit behind, put a space in between. 3) When start a sentence with a number, spell it out. For example "32 measured sections" should be "Thirty two sections"

It seems like I always tend to avoid the problems, troubles or issues that I have to deal with anyway. Many times that it has been proved that delay on my part won't do any good and will only make it more difficulty to solve. Feel like I am coward inside. Just can not face them and take actions.....immediately.  Lessons must be learned. Troubles are not scared, avoiding is not a way it should be for a person like me. Confront them and solve them. (grain size card and swiss army problems) Both solved in a few minutes.

《布兰诗歌》（Carmina Burana）是一部十三世纪的神秘诗稿，它深藏在巴伐利亚修道院内多少世纪不为人知， 一旦被公之于众后震惊世人，它是目前所知的保存最为完整的也最具艺术价值的中世纪诗歌。仿佛它来自天国， 而非人间产品。 二十世纪德国作曲家卡尔•奥尔夫（Carl Orff 1895—1982）长期生活在巴伐利亚，他从这部诗稿中选取25首诗歌， 谱成这部《布兰诗歌》，分"春天"、"酒"、"爱"三个主题。 序诗部分壮美凝重，作曲家仿佛企图借助吟唱与谛听来建立起一座神庙；正歌的第一部分 "春天"，轻快、 明亮中蕴涵着悠远，合唱男女声部交替呈现宛如时序中的昼夜变化；第二部分"酒馆"则是一片世俗景象， 唱腔中运用优伶式的假声与转调，有如在描绘一个假面聚会的场景中人们醉生梦死的世态；但奇怪地是， 欢腾的场面似有幽灵掠过的阴冷；第三部分"爱"中，有着对爱的渴望的宣泄和对爱的忧伤的赞美， 以及对情欲的质朴的歌唱，其中，女声吟唱"In truitina"（In the balance）华美而凄艳， 已经成为演唱会中的经典保留曲目。 作曲家卡尔•奥尔夫在继承古典作曲法基础上加入新式旋律，他在"表现主义"的影响下运用了新原始主义元素， 节奏上加重打击乐成分，使《布兰诗歌》将中世纪的游吟与现代歌咏结合得非常完美。 《布兰诗歌》充满了令人惊奇的成分和戏剧性，它大开大阖，既有雄壮的呐喊，又有委婉的咏叹， 犹如汹涌的急流撞向岩石发出澎湃的声响，又如潺潺小溪蜿蜒地流向柔软的草滩。乐队与唱咏交相辉映； 令人震撼的打击乐像是命运的召唤，有着强烈的扣击灵魂的效果。《布兰诗歌》是一曲对生命的赞歌， 似乎有神的目光在暗中注视。它在三个主题引导下微妙地涉及了"信仰"、"死亡"等动机， 调性既有着世俗的欢乐成分，又有着史诗般的恢弘气势。其中所隐含的真正的动机，则是对短暂人生的垂怜、 惋惜和哀叹。借用里尔克的诗句来描绘这部作品就是："真正的怜悯之神，他来时威风凛凛， 光芒/耀眼地向周围传播，跟诸神一样。/比吹着安稳的大船的风更强。" 专

Today I helped Ben to set up his project. I like his study area and all the outcrop exposures. I wish that I had similar outcrop exposure when I was here the first summer. But no regret, and regret is meaningless. So look forward and move forward. Feel good that I am helping him out and they respect my opinion. I guess that is how I am fulfilling my value.

It has been few days in Utah. Cameron and Ben brought a couple of guns. We tried them. Two shotguns which are used to shoot birds and a rifle which are used to shoot bigger animals like deer or antelope. While I pull the trigger. I can clearly feel the back force that the gun put on me. Nice experience. Here are some photos.

Had a great night before moving to Hanksville in Best Western. I treated Dan and Ben with my home style steak and they treat me with beer and fresh fish they caught in the lake. And then we went to enjoy the hot top. They liked my steak a lot. Chen and Opu even said that mine are better than those cooked in the steak house. I like steak myself and am proud that I can grill it this well. A few pictures of Best Western.

This is the fourth summer I was driving to Utah. Going to the same place with different people and different assignment. Finally this time we stopped by the crossing of Colorado river and took some nice pictures. Even though the valley paper is the most in my mind, still I wanna take it easy and enjoy the month there. Here are some of the pictures.

I made a lot of commitments to myself. What I am lacking is really a planning. Start today. Make a good plan for whatever I wanna do. Use the planner Linyi gave me.  And make substantial  progress. 

时间如白驹过隙，一别四年，宛如一晃。 时间崔人老，不想妈妈的额头是否又平添皱纹，头上是否又增白发？ 今天趁母亲节之际，记述一些发生在妈妈身上的趣事，来抒发自己对妈妈的牵挂和思念。 妈妈没上过什么学，所以识字不多，然而却深知读书的重要，决心培养我和姐姐，弟弟读书。记得我上学前，家里简直就是一个小赌场，几乎天天有人来打麻将，

Linyi went to office depo to buy stuff for her company. Afterwards, she told me that she bought a couple of things for me. I can feel it that she has been thinking about me and I can feel her. And I guess that is love. Do not abuse it. There is one more reason that I should work hard.

Every career desire well respect. Do not be foolish and think everything else except geology is the only important thing in the world. Learning a little big of making simple web page from Shao. I felt his expertise. Every time I have that feeling. I ask myself. As a Ph.D. in geology and graduating soon. Can I provide that kind of expertise in Geology? I do not know what have fooled me that I think I know everything. So stupid. 

To accumulate a little everyday. Do let a day sneak out without learning something that is meaningful. You walk steadily with every step, you paved a solid brick for the foundation.  

It feels so good to get something done. This is what I believe can bring true happiness to people. So try to keep this feeling.

“四川”这个名称，始见于宋代。 宋真宗咸平四年 （1001年）设益、梓、利、夔四州路，分别为今成都、三台、汉中和奉节。 这四路，一般称为川峡四路，简称为“四川”。 在宋徽宗大观三年 （1109年）的诏书中就正式使用了“四川”一词......。

就是这种自重感的欲望，激起一个没有受过良好教育，在一家杂货店工作的贫困店员，翻遍了整个满堆杂货的大木桶，找出他用五分钱所买的几本法律书籍，痛下决心去研究。你或许听说过这杂货店的店员，他的名宇叫'林肯'。

重读 戴尔 卡内基的 《人性的弱点》。 对我人生影响最深刻的一本书。

Two sided, as she is. It will be great if she can clam down and control her emotion when she feels there is something she does not like.

Normally, every time i have to deal with a trouble in whatever method, either calling for technical support or checking from Google or asking a friend. I would feel so happy to get the right answer and the right way to solve the trouble. I was so confident that I will remember the method and next time if I met the problem again i will be sure to be able to solve it. However, for so many times that I was proved to be wrong on this point. I have to go through the same hard process again to solve the same problem from many times. So, now I decided to record every little tricks and skills that I learned to solve daily or work related problems, so next time I had the same problem I can come back and check how I did it last time.

Working on rewriting and fixing the first reviewed paper on "incised valleys"  Bob Dalrymple and Ron Body are the two biggest guys in this area, especially in tidal related depositional environments. So many problems were revealed. I am here encouraging myself to other than beaten by these frustrating and disappointing troubles I should overcome these problems and move forward from here. Be optimistic and work hard.

Life's little instructions.

This is my Fourth time attending AAPG. I would say in general it was a better experience than the previous three. I presented a poster about distributary channels. Not too bad.

Stayed in Long Beach Ca. for about a week. From April 21st to 28th. It is California, always with bright sunshine but cool breeze. The city is pretty. right by the Pacific. We stayed in the Travel lodge for the first two days, which is a few hundred meters away from the beach. Went for running on Tuesday Morning and met Janok. Food there was pretty good two. Had once a steak and tried the seabass. You definitely wanna try the seafood when you visit a coastal city. The Queen Marry was there as a museum. We did not go but took a few pictures away from it.

I am so hungry, but I am full. 吴氏经典语录1） 我很饿但是我却很饱

3月23日，还在诺曼，晚上恒恒和大盛出去买酒，我在和林沂讲电话。我鼓了鼓勇气，说出了对她的爱慕。确实像她自己说的那样，她很有控制欲，or demanding. It seems like what I have done by far were kind of led by her, but in a comfortable way. She is too smart. I am afraid that later in the future I can not hold any more someday. After further talking, I realized that she is definitely a perfect fit to me. Not sure if we are going to work out. we will see.

First time listen to her voice was on Tuesday March 28th 2012. It was so sweet. I felt that I was almost melted. You can imagine her sweet face when you hear her laughing. God, I was really eager to see her, but felt a little bit intimidated. On Saturday, Feb. 3rd, that is the first time I saw her. She was driving her Accord and her sweet face was just like I expected.  Nice day in Rodeo. She is really easy going and patient. More coming.

Looking through the field pictures i took during the winter field trip and found this radiating gypsum. Like always, being amazed by the artifact of the mother nature. Especially this is the one that I found. Would you like it like I do, my future love?

This is my second used car. It is definitely a more luxury car the my former Accord. It has functions like heated seat, side airbags, moon window, reverse mirror, Bose stereo, and so on. You name it. I just learned that TL means total luxury. Only one problem with it is that it drinks gas like a monster. A couple of pics of it. 

You have been staying with me for almost 3 year. Really a good friend. It is so sad I have to say goodbye. Although I get an Acura. You will still be my favorite. I am sorry, I did not even take good pictures of you. But this is one of the few pictures that we were together. Just in memory of you, my friend. I will miss you.

I  was planning to visit this park for a long time. This Sunday was a nice day with a bit of cloud.  The five of us: I, Hengheng, Dasheng, Yanzi and Jianqiao went there together. It is a very nice park, with pretty lakes, big trees, rivers, and many different kinds of animals especially those alligator.

Beautiful view of sunset plus jet smoke in Can-ville Utah.
