Living Like a Real International Student

Wang Xiaobo’s letter to his best friend while studying abroad is too true: hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

This semester, I wrote several small papers, and as soon as I lifted the pen, I was overcome with sadness, much like Jia Dao’s ‘Two sentences are worth three years, and one sentence is worth two tears’. When the professor looks at me in class, I’m a little short (I’m afraid he will ask me to speak), and the pain is unbearable. The pain was unbearable.

At least we can go out and get an MS or PhD, and it is said that the PhD will be given to an associate professor after one more year.
I think what Mr. Yang said is reasonable, if we have to be a good human being, we should get a PhD, or at least an MS, or commit suicide by jumping into the Pacific Ocean.

To get into graduate school, you have to pass both the TOFEL and GRE. I don’t know if I can make it without taking the TOFEL.

We left our hometowns and came here for the sake of fame and fortune. If we are here for fame and fortune, then we are not noble. If it’s not noble, it’s not worthy of face. We just have to fight for it.

The most fatal thing is that I can’t speak English well, I don’t dare to take the TOEFL, I only get a score of X on the GRE, I stammer when I speak English with others, and I often fail to answer questions. I just hate this crap, it’s so hard to learn!

I’ve been in a bad mood for a few days, so I contacted a lot of schools, but four of them have already come back.

I had no choice, so I turned to part-time jobs. Today, I went to work for 20 yuan, and I was so tired that I felt bad. I was in a bad mood when I went to work because I had never worked as a waiter before, so I had to do the dishes.
I was even more upset when I was working.

Now I miss Ph.D. more and more, why else would we suffer? Maybe the bitterness is finally paying off. They say a sweet-talking waiter can get a hundred or eighty dollars a day. In addition to doing dishes, there is a place where I can work as a trainee waiter for very little money, but I can learn a lot. I’m looking forward to a school that will give me a chance to work in a vegetable garden.

I wish there was a school that would give me money to quit this shit,” he said.
