 Yes, you. You control the Information Age. Welcome to ur world!

TIME magazine choose to put a mirror on a computer screen on the cover. So the readers can reflect themselves on the Mylar, to see their images, to feel they are the person of the year 2006. I like this design very much and this is a great idea combining with the topic. Time’s editor said because it literally reflects the idea that YOU, not we, are transforming the information age. In “To our readers”, the editor writes: Now it’s ur turn! You are the individuals that are changing the information age, the creators and consumers of user-generated content that are transforming art and politics and commerce, the engaged citizens of a new digital democracy.

Today people all around the world can put their images, blogs and videos on YouTube and MySpace, and communicate via MSN, GMAIL, YAHOO, ICQ, and OICQ chat room. Those people who are using the internet have shaped a great power; even can largely influence the media and public opinion. WWW today is not the web that Tim Berners-Lee hacked together as a way for scientists to share research. It’s not the dotcom web in the late 1990’s neither. It’s a tool for bringing together the small contributions of millions of people and making them matter. Silicon Valley consultants call it Web 2.0, as if it were a new version of some old software. But it’s really a revolution.

Some guys believe that this phenomenon is dangerous because it undermines the authority of traditional media institutions. TIME’s editor Richard said, this new global nervous system is changing the way we perceive the world. And the consequences of it all are both hard to know and impossible to overestimate. I agree with him. In my opinion, the reason that people like to use YouTube is just for fun. It has nothing to do with the politics or ambitions. When people finish one day long work and back home, they don’t turn on TV and watch the soap opera, but turn on their computer and write their blog and upload their music and video. Who have this energy and passion? The answer is YOU! Actually, I am one of such kind of people---a member of YOU! When people fall in love with this new media tool, the journalists in traditional media face the big challenge. Since everyone can be the journalists today, if u’d like to and have the required facilities, u can shoot the campus violence immediately by ur videophone and upload instantly on YouTube. Then millions of people can see it online directly or on their cellphones and PDAs. It’s easy, huh? !

So these new techniques will enhance what we do as journalists and challenge us to do it in even more innovative ways. It also provides us an opportunity to improve our country’s social democracy and improve the international understanding between us and others. There are still a lot of websites that we cant access because they are filtered by our government, such like the knowledge Wikipedia. Here in China today, people indeed can express their views more open than before, but it’s only a kind of comparative cyber freedom. I mean, people who have the cynical inclination can find a place to blow off some stream, but what about the entire effect? Can their voice challenge the mainstream media? I doubt, at least now.

昨天终于结束了我大学时代的最后一门考试——货币银行学，特此发文纪念一下！考之前兴奋了一个中午，以至于考场上无心恋战，草草作答便交了卷，对得起之前几天的刻苦“抱佛脚”，算是为我的大学画上一个完美句点。考完试本应该轻轻松松的才是，可是我并没有预想的那样兴奋，相反，倒是多了几分平静。Come on and Cheer up, baby! 还有很多事要做，entertainment and shopping只好拖拖后。昨天晚上失眠症状消失了，我美美的睡了一大觉：） 大学时代虽然结束，但是我的校园生活还会继续，只不过换一个全新的环境，去体验不同的文化。

03经济新闻的孩子们，我会记住你们的，记住我们的大学时光，你们也都好好努力噢！

Special thanks to NANA, Momo, Melody, Sisi, Fei, Viola! I appreciate ur company and encouragement! God bless us! 

天作孽，尚可活；自作孽，不可活。最近我总算是深刻体会到这句话的含义了。持续几天的失眠，一是因为SH的BT冬天，蜷缩在被子卷和羽绒服里，即使有电热宝也不济于事，昨天更是升级到用帽子蒙面的地步，无以复加啦！上海的冬天，你还让不让人活！我很担心自己会窒息而死，可是头露在外面，却四处是风，冻得我头痛欲裂，难以入睡。另一个原因是自己持续的生物钟颠倒，以至于想在考试期调整恢复正常都很难了。最重要的原因是大脑不停地想问题，我从小就不畏惧考试，可是大学里每逢期末考和考T、G这样的大考时，我总会莫名其妙的失眠，兴奋，脑海里浮现的总是我儿时的玩伴，以前的同学朋友老师们，还有我曾经暗恋过的男孩儿（只是小时候那种单纯的喜欢，不必多言，否则该有“此地无银”的嫌疑）。有人问我为什么keep single,是因为财大男少吗？财大男生数量确实少，但还是有帅哥的。遗憾的是，大学时代我一直深居简出，没太发现啊！最重要的是我觉得Mr.Right应该是心灵能契合的那种吧，别的也无所谓，也不一定非要帅哥的说，最重要的是睿智、幽默、有才华、善良、孝顺，还得爱好广泛点。完啦，跑题了，怎么感觉我在给自己做“征友广告”，大不了哪天本小姐高兴就贴它一个启示。真是应了Momo说的大学毕业前的春心荡漾了。（开玩笑了，见笑！不过有合适的，你们可要给我介绍啊！）往事如风，轻轻飘过，留下的是心底淡淡的思念。这种痕迹是永远无法抹煞的。我怀疑自己是不是真的得了“考试焦虑症”了。思念，有如江水绵延不绝，也许是想家了吧！从心理学角度分析，这应该是一种注意力迁移和人在压力下的减压表现吧。

寒假回北京，决定组织一下初中同学聚会，109中最强的初三（二）班的孩子们，你们现在还好吗？初中毕业七年了，有些同学后来有见过，大部分都一直没再碰面。细细回想，我们初中的故事，写本书都不为过。还要请班主任马老师回来。不管怎么样，尽量通知大家，能联系到的同学也要尽量来哦！很想看看大家现在的样子噢！七年！人这一辈子有几个七年？人真的是情感动物，而同学之情又最珍贵、最真挚、最持久。时间不会冲淡友谊的酒，距离不会拉开思念的手，当时光流逝、斗转星移，朋友能小聚下，就是莫大的幸福！还记得中考前全班在那里唱《真心英雄》，然后变成全班大拉歌的壮观场面。还记得初中在大马路上跑三千米，路过菜市场和过街天桥，引来路人侧目。还记得和男生一起在篮球场比拼，互不相让。记得一个朋友和我说过，不要活在过去的回忆里。是，过去的日子都烟消云散了，既然抓不住时间老人的尾巴，就好好活在当下吧。假期好好聚会：）

人很奇怪，一方面要保护隐私，一方面又希望表达内心。我真诚的在Space上记录下自己的想法，无论是闪烁着思想的光辉，还是自己内心的点滴体会，哪怕是暴露人性的弱点，龌龊也好，高尚也罢，都要书写最真实的自我！

亲爱的诸位兄弟姐妹，请你们多多留言，为我的space攒点人气，也为自己积点RP!各位潜水的朋友们也请浮出水面啊！  期待offer中，急需RP呀！欢迎欢迎，忽悠忽悠啊，各位！（学赵本山的语气说）

很久没更新了，贴篇影评，去年12.23看完这部电影，情不自禁地写下点感想，只是一直没往上挂，我很懒，真的很懒 ：） 尤其是元旦放假更是生活颠三倒四，凌晨两点睡下，酣睡至下午两点，所以现在考试期，需要调整生物钟，否则考试很有可能迟到！还是过有规律的生活比较好，我亲爱的朋友们！

The Devil wears PRADA ----What a woman really wants?　

今天终于看了这部我垂涎已久的影片《穿ＰＲＡＤＡ的恶魔》中文是这么翻译的。既然是女魔头，就必然有其不同寻常之处。故事讲的是国际上最大牌、享有最高声誉的时尚杂志（影射国际知名时尚杂志VOGUE）女主编和一个充满梦想的年轻、聪明、漂亮女孩不断寻找自我的故事。

I want to define the topic of this movie as what a woman really wants. What fit u best? Sometimes maybe we are seeking something that actually doesn’t fit us. We just want to prove that we are competent for that task. Finally until we lost something valued in our lives, such as our lover, friends, the most of importance—ourselves, can we realize it. We find we miss the most beautiful thing in the world. The heroine had lost herself when she wished to survive in the competition, but eventually she came back to her own life track. Taking off the famous brand fashion clothes and no make-up, she is smiling to embrace the new challenges and find a job at New York Mirror, to start her journalist career. How exciting I am when I see the ending of this story! I am glad for the young heroine’s choice.

When I feel very tired and frustrated, trying to complain to some guys, I find I don’t have rights to do so. Because this is a way I chose, I am already an adult who can be responsible for my own behavior. Of course, relieving my feelings is a must and permissible. Otherwise I almost go crazy. This is the real condition of me the former period when I struggled to apply the US universities. U can’t rely on anybody. The only one u can trust is urself!  And never forget to make suitable schedules for ur work. Also bear in mind that “First Work, First Do!” It’s just my experience!

安妮．海茨薇扮演的安迪毕业于西北大学新闻系（Gorgeous! Medill is my dream! ），大学期间曾任校报主编，发表文章成绩斐然，梦想成为一名职业记者。虽然她非常漂亮，但是她从不刻意装扮自己，衣着随意而简单，她甚至都不看时尚杂志，也不关注名牌。但是她聪明、学东西很快，而且能吃苦。与她那些办公室里衣着光鲜亮丽的pretty girls比起来，她身上的一些品德显得尤为珍贵，这是真正的内在美inner beauty，in my opinion——真诚、热情、乐于助人，困难面前勇往直前,事事会为他人考虑而不是只顾自己的利益。安迪从做米兰达的第二助手开始，最初只是一个打杂妹，负责买hot coffee和跑腿。她每天早早地来到办公室，做好准备，等待米兰达的到来，当米兰达神采奕奕的走进办公室之时，必然会把她的大衣、披肩、包包，统统一股脑的扔到安迪的桌上，让安迪帮她挂衣服。她除了要做好大名鼎鼎、众星捧月般的时尚女主编的秘书，记下米兰达的句句吩咐之外，还绝不能说个不字，没有任何其它的选择和商量的余地，只能服从。她还要充当米兰达的家庭保姆，替她接狗狗和照顾狗，给她的双胞胎买玩具，替他们完成手工作业。她从一个不懂时尚穿衣经的土人到经过好心的瑞秋帮忙，转变风格，变成越穿越有品位的时尚女郎，令办公室的女同事妒忌，甚至令米兰达刮目相看。从一开始做事不知从何下手的菜鸟成长为办事得心应手，逐渐在工作中得到她那万分挑剔而且高傲的女上司的认同，从而为自己赢得了去巴黎参加时装周的机会。

追逐时尚，几乎是每个女孩的梦想，现在在找工作的大军里也不乏想投奔奢侈品牌旗下的孩子们，LV, Cartier已经校园宣讲过了。不过这个行业真的是要靠机遇，如果手中握着一大把设计师、摄影师、造型师、和模特，应该可以在这个圈子吃得开。个人觉得如果真的是对时尚万分热爱，又有些灵性，且做好了吃苦耐劳的准备，可以尝试一下。年轻就是资本。成千上万的人想要为米兰达工作，尽管她十分苛刻，对员工从没有赞扬与感谢。安迪幸运的获得了这一机会。虽然她开始也想过要放弃，但还是坚持做下去了。本片中也体现出现实的残酷，生存的艰辛。骄傲不可一世的米兰达最终在安迪面前露出了自己女性的一面，她在担心她的第二次离婚是否会影响她的一对双胞胎女儿，她在担心媒体会怎么写她的又一次离婚，她在担心她的形象。但是显然，她最担心的还是她的事业、她的声誉，以及她在业界无人可以撼动的地位。她很快就从担心回到她的晚宴名单，她的工作安排，对于她来说，这才是最最重要的。

安迪由最初的讨厌米兰达到后来理解了她这位苛刻的老板，她说，这只不过是米兰达的工作方式，如果她是一个男的，就不会有这么多批评了。米兰达也很真诚的给了安迪一个评价：我们真的有一些相像。但安迪说，我不会像你这样对瑞秋。米兰达为了保住自己在杂志社的地位，不惜背叛了跟随自己18年、一直渴望得到一个升职机会的瑞秋，她原本已经向瑞秋承诺过给他升迁，可在最后关头，宣布这一消息时她还是选择了保全自己。可怜的瑞秋原本以为自己会被宣布，可是听到的名字却是别人。听完以后，他还苦笑着对安迪说：“没关系，米兰达总会想办法补偿给我的。”想想他和安迪开香槟庆祝的那个夜晚，我的心很不忍。瑞秋好可爱，而且人也很kind, 在安迪受人冷嘲热讽时会用言语提醒她，在她不懂穿衣搭配时会带她到样品间，亲手帮她挑选搭配，使得安迪穿衣方面越来越有自信，博得同事艳羡的目光。瑞秋在工作方面是米兰达最得力的伙伴，他的能力并不差，但是他始终被米兰达压制。一山不容二虎，算是万用真理一条。米兰达其实早就知道公司高层谋划聘用比她更廉价的人来接替她，但是她凭着在圈子里摸爬滚打多年的经验，以其人之道还治其人之身，列了一张业内名单，交给老总，使得整件事情有所扭转。这张起着决定性作用的名单上列着米兰达一手培养（捧）出来的知名设计师、造型师、摄影师、模特，并告诉老总，如果她离开，这些人都会追随她，迫使老总不得不重新考虑。也许这就是时尚圈的“潜规则”吧!

电影尾声两人在豪华轿车里的对话很出彩，米兰达说，这种生活是人人都想要的。安迪却有自己的想法。当安迪决定转身离去，永远的摆脱米兰达时，她走得干脆、洒脱，没有一丝留恋。而米兰达正在镁光灯的聚焦下，矫揉造作地做风光无限状，梅特尔.斯特里普的演技的确是“老姜”级的，那种不可一世的神情，洋溢着自信的笑容，和那种明星般的气质，把这个人物诠释得很到位。安迪的独立自信、朝气蓬勃、坚持自我，也让人感到一股扑面而来的清新。

So what a woman really wants?  Women only want to master their own destiny, do we? Who cares men's thinking?  That's so great!  To be urself!
