Massive beams of selenite dwarf human explorers in Mexico’s Cave of Crystals, deep below the Chihuahuan Desert. Formed over millennia, these crystals are among the largest yet discovered on Earth.

墨西哥Chihuahuan沙漠地底深处的晶洞里,巨大的亚硒酸盐晶柱使人类探险家显得是那么渺小。经过千年的结晶成形,这些晶体是地球上已知最大的晶体之一。

In Hungary, adults fly to and from the nest tunnel they pecked and scratched into a sandy bank, foraging constantly to feed their ravenous chicks. Such tunnels can be three to five feet long (1 to 1.5 meters long).

Freedom

Published by under 余音绕梁

前两天看Dollhouse的时候听到一首很好听的歌,出现在S01E03,Echo面试Rayna的合声时唱的。虽然是清唱,仍然觉得很好听,就像我最喜欢的Meav的One I Love,也是清唱的。

上网搜了下,发现这首歌好像是Dollhouse原创的。这倒也不奇怪,这集的编剧Jed Whedon本身就是位作曲家。于是期待下Dollhouse的原声碟……

贴一下网上搜到的歌词,题目应该是国外网友自己加的吧

Freedom

(Dollhouse: Season 1, Episode 3 – "Stage Fright")
Eliza Dushku (饰Echo) & Jaime Lee Kirchner (饰Rayna)

I’ve gotta find the freedom
that’s promised me
freedom from our struggles
and our misery
freedom
is all in me
to heal the pain
of history

Each day when the sun shines
upon my eyes
it fills me with love
makes me feel alive.
I’m savin’ it up
for a rainy day
when there’s no light
to guide my way.

I’ve gotta find the freedom
that’s promised me
freedom from our struggles
and our misery
freedom
is all we need
to heal the pain
of history

上海之行

Published by under 似水年华

今天跑去上海看了国际教育巡回展,昨天还特地去把成绩单印了出来。

港科大没来,香港叫得出名号的大学来了三所。

之前以为香港的学校没有条件录取的制度,今天到现场一问才知道也有学校是这样操作的。

还是该死的英语,IELTS离香港的分数线差了半分。

把成绩单给招生老师看后,说拿condition offer基本上没什么问题,但必须在7月底前把英语达标。

6月的CET-6要8月份才出成绩,肯定没戏,只能再考IELTS了。

不过总算还有一所学校在知道我pass了CET-4之后,愿意给我一个电面的机会,通过的话就能拿到正式offer。

这所学校为我咨询的老师是AI方向的,回来上网一查才知道这个领域他在国际上也算是个名人。老妈说读完MSc要真能跟了他读PhD倒也不错。

离开这三个展位又去看了些英国的学校,但对于英语和GPA的要求也就更高。英国人好像很不了解中国国情,无论学校好坏GPA要求都一样,FT死,这点香港的学校明显就人性化得多。

总体来说,今天的收获还是不少的,这趟上海没白跑,嗯。
