子夏浮雲
兒時的夏日,我躺在草垛上仰暮天上的白雲-- 多好哇,隨心飄馭. 沒想到日後我的人生竟象浮雲般飄流,不知下一站,沒根...
想想送走了生龍活虎，躊躇滿誌的孩子進了大學校府，你以為他 / 她們的生活和學習就是電話裏匯報的那樣嗎？文中反應的肯定是學生中有代表性的現象，當然孩子不完全是畫裏這個“德行”，小聲的說：兒子其實是名列 Dean's list 前茅的。老以為兒子不哼不哈的變成了nod ，這一看，幽默感還是沒丟掉：
前言：
A paper I wrote for one of my writing seminars that experiements with the literary style known as "stream of consciousness." The topic explores the typical life of an Engineering student through the experience I gained after spending a year in college. Focuses more on the average student than the "model students" and "geniuses."
College of
First day of school. Grab the Physics book you just spent all your money on. Get ready for class. You are prepared; you know where your classroom is; you looked up the professor on www.ratemyprofessor.com; you skimmed eight hundred pages of the text; you are prepared. Tell yourself you will succeed, you will receive an “A,” you will become the professor’s favorite student, the student who breaks the “curve” on every test. You are ready.
Always walk into a lecture hall with your right foot, it will bring you good luck. Sit in the front row so after a few days the professor will begin to notice you. Look around at all the other students, try to pick out a few smart-looking ones to team up with for your final project. Class begins, the professor has a heavy accent, you hear students whispering to each other saying they can’t understand a thing. Now you know coming to lecture is pointless, no one knows what is going on, and the PowerPoint presentation, accompanied with dimmed lighting, just puts you to sleep.
The class is over. Go back to your dorm, have some coffee, take a nap, you will need it later when reading the text book. Go to every lecture even if you think you will not learn much from them, just in case the professor gives a surprise quiz. You can laugh at the students who skipped lecture on that day, this is how you will succeed this semester, you are prepared.
After the first week, you receive your first homework assignment. Complain about the amount of questions assigned, and then realize the homework problems are much harder than you expected. Forget about the homework, you have to go to a party later tonight. The next day you have to finish that research paper, and after that there is Calculus. Go and find some smart people so you can work on the homework together, then copy all the answers from them; but isn’t that plagiarizing?; no, it’s called “team work.”
A few weeks later, two-third of your class will stop coming to lecture. The student who come will be asleep, including you, this is how you make it through the lectures. Day dream, and think to yourself why college makes you learn something you will never use again.
The next day is the mid-term exam. Read the textbook one more time, then look over the notes you photocopied from that girl. You have done everything you could to prepare for it. During the test, none of the formulas you memorized seem to work. You hope the other students are as clueless as you. The average on the mid-term is forty-three. You are three points below average. You go see the professor during his office hour to get a few points back.
It’s time for the final project, leave all the work to that smart student you teamed up with, tell that person you are too busy studying for finals. Go read your textbook, and look over your notes. Store some of the important formulas into your graphing calculator. Write a few key equations on the inside of your hand so no one will notice them, and on your eraser as well; but isn’t that cheating?; no, it’s called “using your resources.” Now you are prepared, you are going to succeed.
The final exam is hard. Sit in the back so you can peak at the person in front of you. The average of the finals is sixty-seven, you are ten points below average, but your partner did a good job on your final project. In the end you received a “B-.” It’s not what you wanted, but you don’t care anymore, it’s over, you will never use these knowledge again. Now start preparing for the next semester.
(End)
您看了有什麽感想？
Your feedback is very valuable -- I was thinking how would those professors think when they read this paper.Thanks!
看得出是個挺有思想的孩子
我大學模仿了黨的5年計劃
自己製定了綜合發展計劃
每年一總結一改進，一步一步走完的
收獲是培養了一定的生存能力和對問題的洞察能力
損失是沒有時間去轟轟烈烈地愛上一次
現在太太還偶爾埋怨為什麽當年不去追她
一個人哪能所有的好處都占盡
包裝一下叫有所為有所不為
現在還偶爾忽悠一下剛剛讀大學的孩子們
唬得他們一愣一愣的
不過現在不敢信口開河了
以前曾經被高中的老師叫回去給小師弟師妹們打打氣
結果兩年後的一天，一個女孩子找到我
竟然是當時聽我胡侃的一個師妹
說就是聽了我當時的話，信心倍增
一時激動，考入了我讀的大學，而且還是同樣的專業
嗚呼哀哉，誤人不淺啊
從此不再當眾說教
