A Meal

Yesterday evening we had a meal in Home Dinner of West Sea, "Xi Hai Jia Yan" for Zhao's coming back to trasfer some documents for his changing a job. I drank about a cup less than a bottle of beer, which first made me uncomfortable when going back to Office. We talked about his ex-job, the job he would do the following days. I assured him that whatever he wants me to do, he just calls. Then he went to Ma's dom to have a sleep. Zheng, Wang, etc went to gym to play badminton. Yuan is still working on LabVIEW to prepare for his next-day presentation.
I went to dom and washed my feet. Then I climbed onto my bed to sleep. Sleeping is a good way for me to be unaware of the pain the wine or beer pushes me. The worst thing is that I wake up midnight, feeling my head is so painful that it wants to fall apart. I turned round and round in bed,hoping to find a way for me easier to fall asleep. After a hour's struggle, I finally made it.
This morning I got up early,only a little headache left.

Discussion

This afternoon at 2 o'clock a discussion is held at Room 108, opposite my Office across the corridor. Zhang hosts the meeting. My name is the first of the list to give the presentation. On the list after my name, there is only blank while others' are followed by the title they would talk about. It seems abrupt, at least to me, which maked me a little awkward.
Zheng makes the slides for our team. He let me do the job. But Wang's coming changes our minds. Zheng doed the job. He does very well with so many questions from teachers and students alike.
Then others talk about their work and progress. During all the discussion, Yu comments. He seems like to share his knowledge and his experience.
The discussion lasts about 3 hours, every group contribute and they obtain.

It is my duty today.

It is my duty today. What a familiar expression. It recalls me of my first classes of English learning. The teacher is responsible and has a good head for business. She tells us to write Abc in a notepad and brings it with us wherever we go, following by her advertisment of selling such notepad. Of course, nearly all of us buy the notepad, because we want to learn English well and because she would list the names who have bought. Then she would urge the rest to buy. How smart!
It is my duty today. I get up as usual at 7 o'clock. After about a quarter's walk, I get to my office, and I go to fill the thermo bottle with boiled water next door. After emptying the trash, I begin to mop.Huh-uh,HOW boring to describe it here,but it is my every week work on Wednesday. I like to do my job.

Office, a public office.

In the meeting, I finally know that we are working in an office. We are not student anymore ,instead,we are postgraduate ,are research student.
I have always been wondering what will be called of the place where we read, we surf on line to search information,we write; a place of half-privacy. It is an office where we must finish our work,our project,during which we must go to the lab to validate our ideas and make something out of our ideas.

Guess of this evening meeting?

This morning Liu told us that there would be a meeting this evening,and told Wang and Lin to inform the others who were not present at that moment. Later,I found that it would be a staff meeting.
I think that Jia will conduct this meeting and he will talk to us,Wang,Liu and Lu will say something,too, at the meeting.
The contents of this meeting should be as follows,in my wildest guess：
1.Summing last year's work,by Jia or Wang; maybe after every doctor sums the work of his team.
2.Something about present and future work; maybe after every doctor talks about his team's plan.
3.Speaking something about himself,including how busy he always is,how desire he wants to do research and discuss with us and instruct us.
4.Welcome the new postgraduate,maybe this will be at the very first.
5.Speaking of someone who is going to graduate.
6.Speaking of what kind of paper we will work on.
7.Summing the ones who have graduated and their current conditions.
8.Speaking of the big projects we are working on and some projects we are potentially going to work on.
9.Speaking of a book we will write and edit and publish.
10.Maybe some outdoor activity we will take, as a union.

The meeting draws close as I guess this and as every thing I do now.
I'd like to know which items will appear at the meeting and what is not on the list.

An interesting thing!

His phone will ring if he goes out leaving his phone behind. That almost happens to everyone. The rest of us will smile at this interesting moment,tacitly.
