Some questions

I was asked to answer some questions about the program. I think that is important for not only the program, the potential participants, but also for myself. It makes me clear that why I am here and what I should do. Ok, get into the real business now:

(A) What are you looking forward to the most about your trip to the US?

For me, it should be the different experience ahead of me. I always like taking adventures and challenging myself to open me to the wider and enrich my perspectives. Special experiences hold special place in our life. What makes me excited is the trip itself!

(B) What gives you anxiety, or makes you nervious, about participating in this program?

As I have said, this program is perfect for me, however, there is some anxiety, such as I am a little bit nervious about my research. I have never done MD before, so I am afraid to mass it up and become a trouble for people around me, my advisor especially. I will work hard to make through and have a great time anyway! Moreover, I give up for this program the chance to carry out my own research here in PKU on single molecure detection which was just began this semester . Yet, I think it is worthwhile for special experience means a lot to me. Finally, the English. Although I have studyed English for so many years here, I am not sure that I can communicate freely with the natives and escape to be overwhelmed in the sea of "foreign language". It is a challenge, and I just love to be challenged~ I think I can survive^_^

(C) Not all of the students who expressed interest in the program actually applied. What was the most important thing about the program that actually made you DECIDE that you actually wanted to participate?

As said before, I value the special experience this program offers to us and what's more, the highlight of this program is that it is not about taking classes, it is about doing research. You know, for undergraduate students, especially freshman and sophomore, we focus mostly on our classes and do not many chances for doing scientific research. However, we need it badly. We want to see how work is done and develop our interest, our sensitivity on it. As a result, things get awkward and we end in anxiety about our future, depressed. All I want to say is that this program just comes out in time and fills in the gap for us. That is another important reason why I want to participate.

Got started

Finally, I have my blog got started!

I named this blog as "Summer 2007" for the reason that this summer will absolutely become a special and remarkable time of my life. Luck as I am, I seize this great opportunity to spend this summer in another country and experience a different life.

I cannot wait to see it beginning.

So, let's start the journey!
