A walk on the sea

Just took a walk literally “ON” the sea since the water was completely frozen.

It was my third time walking on ice.

The first time was in Kiruna, a small town in the arctic circle in northern Sweden. We were walking on a lake and the guide told us to keep a distance from each other, so as not to break the ice and get ourselves frozen in the lake. It made us all nervous but in the
end I found him to be kidding. You can even drive trucks on that. On the way back the guide drove the van onto a lake and showed us how it was like to drift on ice.

The second time I was walking on the shore around Otaniemi and found many Finns skiing or ice fishing on the sea. So I walked on it with great care, and found out it was quite safe to walk there.

This morning I was originally planning to take a walk along the coast line. But then again I found some guys
playing on the sea. So I stepped out on it. At first I was a bit afraid, after all we were getting positive temperatures in the past few days. But after a while I was sure that there was nothing to be afraid of. I jumped on the sea and nothing happened. Besides, walking on the sea is much easier than walking on the road. Walking on the sea is like struggling in a swamp, as snow could be very thick at some points; while walking on the road was like dancing Waltz on a mirror, because the roads
are covered with ice and a very thin layer of fresh snow. And this time I used GPS to track my location and ended up with the following trail.

The whole trail is 7 kilometers and my average speed was 4.39 km/h. But the top speed was 13.36 km/h because I was chasing by a shark. LOL.

傲雪凌霜

最近很忙,有一种所有东西都压过来的感觉。虽然只有两门考试,但是由于平时学的不认真,只有临时抱佛脚;毕设依然未定,不过这两天四个面试,这频率也太高了点。

明天回家,不知道一年半之后回到家会有什么样的感觉,不知父母头上有没有新添银丝……但是我又不敢想的太多,因为我怕自己回到家的时候亲人已经认不出我了,我还是一年前的那个我吗?我自己也没有答案。既期待,又恐慌,索性不想了。

收拾东西,打包搬家,发现自己东西竟然多了不少,看来有一点要安定下来的味道了。只是明年的住房问题还没解决,估计回来之后会居无定所好一阵子。

不管怎样,问题总会解决的,一切顺其自然。冬天会走,春天会来,我要像松柏一样,傲雪凌霜,矗立在那里,守候春天的第一缕暖阳。

其实我不知道这棵树是什么树……

明天的两个面试是今年最后的战役了,相信自己能行的!
