2006/11/26 Time To Get Lazy?
2006/11/21 Is It Raining There
2006/11/20 Normal & OrdinaryIt was the first day after the masters cup, but it seemed everything was still on my mind. Yes, it influenced me a lot...Life is full of high points and low points, and after my devoting energy to this tennis thing, I feel unenergetic and exhausted for everything. I went to the laboratory this afternoon, and I did nothing except lay my head on the desk napping. For one thing, I am quite concerned that I might not finish the work that I am supposed to do; for another, when I am confronted with the work, I want to find every excuse to avoid it...I am so stuck in the dilemma! Or maybe I am such a drama queen, and after tonight, everything is going to be cheering...
Where is my plan, where is my life, where is destination, where is my mind~~I DO NOT HAVE A CLUE NOW... 2006/11/19 When Masters Cup Is GoneI don't know how many days that I had to get up early in the mornings, and how many days I had to strive to hold on; and how many days I had to tell myself that it's going to be fine; and how many days that I dreamt all about this masters cup...It was a hard work, and it was humble too. For many times when I was putting the towels on the bench, and when I had to kneel down to collect the dirty towels, I felt that I was never the center of the focus, and people walking past me would not even look at me. But when I was thinking that Vance and other guys were still standing beside me, I felt strong again. For 15 days, I have devoted all my energy into this masters cup thing, and I have experienced a lot, and learned a lot...Also, I feel grateful that we met Vance, who is not only a generous man, but also, more importantly, a good man. In these days, I have met many people that I have only seen on TV or just heard of. It was so magical that I could have this chance to see them in person, and have this opportunity to feel that they are human too. I feel lucky that I have met so many great people, from the stringers to the ATP chairman, even though I may not have the chance to talk to them or introduce myself to them. Maybe this is the pity that I have left on this masters cup. But mainly, what I have learned during two weeks was worth my time and all I have given.
During these days, I have met many new friends and they stood beside me, making the tough work surmountable. Alrighty...I need to stop here...Tomorrow is another day~~~
2006/11/4 Ready 4 ActionStarts from 12th to 19th, and I will see the big tennis stars in ZERO distance, which is AWESOME!!! I met other volunteers at Qizhong yesterday, and this team is pretty international--China, Philipines, Holland, Canada, USA. Our boss, Vance, told us to be good to make our country proud, and from that moment on, I realised that I am not just representing SJTU, but more importantly, my country! It seems this volunteer thing matters a lot, and we are not allowed to take pics or ask for autographs of the big stars...SIGH...But the good thing is we can see them in their daily life--eating, practising, exercising. Yeah, we are like the servant, and we have to be good.
Vance seems to be casual and energetic, and I thought it must be easy to get along with him. So on the first day, I acted pretty casual too, and made jokes with Vance. Later, I was told that actually, Vance is a very strict person, and I'd better not mess with him. Therefore, I think I'd better be good, because this kind of thing is big indeed.
2006/11/2 Shanghai Tennis Masters CupI never thought I could do this, but after a few days, I am going to work at a place which is so attractive to me that I have been dreaming of. Of course, I am pretty sure that those days are really going to be tough and exhausting, but what am I gonna do to trade off for this precious opportunity to meet my idols? I don't have an alternative choice.
After the interview, Vance asked me to help interpret for his colleague this afternoon, so I am pretty sure that I impressed him yesterday during the interview, otherwise I would not be the one to help interpret. This feeling is good---I am standing out. Good start! So I went to Fuzhou Road with Carl to buy something for the masters cup thing. Carl is 1/4 Jewish, and kind. We had a good conversation, and it was fun. But still, there is one thing always concerning me--I have to get up very early after 2 days, and I have to keep on doing this for at least 14 days. I am afraid that all my energy and time will be sucked up by this volunteer thing, which will delay my experiment in the lab...Yup, this is critical...Maybe that's what's called--if you want something, you have to pay for it!
God bless my following days!! |
