It is now actually mid-December, and after three months of silence, I finally have time to write the monthly summary. The main reason is that I forgot, and secondly, I was too busy to write. However, as the old saying goes, it’s never too late to mend the fold, writing now is better than not writing at all. Looking back to September last year (2021), I was still immersed in the disappointment of failing courses and team matters. Now, looking back, since then until now, I haven't failed any courses again, and I smoothly retired from the team, entering a leisurely study life in my junior year.
As per tradition, let me briefly introduce the recent holiday (referring to the date when this article should have been written). The most important holiday in October is undoubtedly National Day. On December 2, 1949, the fourth meeting of the Central People's Government Committee accepted the proposal of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and passed the "Resolution on the National Day of the People's Republic of China," deciding that October 1 each year would be the great day of the establishment of the People's Republic of China, marking National Day. As per tradition, there are also adjustments to the holiday schedule, and the school has less time off, which is said to be compensated during the winter vacation (PS from 2022/12/11: it indeed was compensated during the winter vacation, but it feels a bit unfair). In short, this year I didn't really relax and enjoy the holiday life during the National Day holiday; I remember last year I went out to have fun with friends, and at that time, the pandemic wasn't too severe (right?), but now the situation is hard to say, and it feels like there is a trend of becoming more severe.
September, how should I put it, can be considered the first month of the new semester, with a relatively full course schedule. At the same time, I joined Professor S's seminar, so it was quite fulfilling. I rarely had leisure time on weekends, and for various reasons, I couldn't really go out to have fun; I just spent my time in the dormitory.
Um, I won't write about expectations for next month, because this summary of the past three months is written later, and writing expectations would not be genuine. Looking back at September from December, I feel that time flies, but I obviously didn't realize this in September. I'll conclude with a passage from Lin Huiyin's "The Sorrows of August": Summer has passed, and it is not yet autumn. But as I look at the fields and the melons on the earthen walls, I still do not understand how life is intertwined with dreams.
