    终于不用睡在airbag上了

    数数到了美国的日子也有20天了,起初房间没有家具,什么也没有,每天我都坐地板上看书,回email,也没有床,睡在一个airbag上,非常不好受,睡眠质量可想而知了。加上第一个星期的MBA课程,intensive到让人窒息,fall break之前必须完成一个module4门课,fall break之后是第2个module,也是4门课,这个学期我要念8门课。每天都有课,上课之前都要先看完2-3章内容,书都是1000多页的,要在7个礼拜里面啃完。因为没有business concept,我啃起书来是touple hard,首先是英语词汇,其次是terminology, 最后是speed,阅读关恐怕还要花几个月时间来克服。除了看书,还有assignment, team project, presentation, career sessions, guest speaking, social activities, 还有我的Graduate Assistanship工作,早上8点-12点...拜拜指头,这些事情就占去了我每天大部分的时间,这些活动之外还要看课本,看教授给的book list。每天晚上2点睡觉,早上6点半起床,没有时间做菜,顶多下个面条吃吃。星期五晚上看书到8点,突然发现肚子很饿,可是还没来得及去超市采购,周围又没有店家,于是我只好叫pizza外卖填饱肚子。天天吃pizza一点不healthy,好怀念在上海饮食习惯。
    昨天,我在教会的朋友花了一天的时间帮我搬家,搬床,家具,床头柜,沙发等家具,终于我可以在写字台上看书工作,在床上睡觉了。
     
    想跟在国内读书,正在申请MBA的人说,MBA is intensive, no joking。美国的大学和国内大学读起来完全不一样的,要做好心理准备,用应付国内教育的办法来这应付是行不通的,我觉得我在国内4年学的东西都不抵这边2年将要学成的东西。上周一开学有些招架不住,因为每天都绷着神经思考着还有什么没有看完没有做完,但是貌似一直看不完一直做不完。也有过几次瞬间想要放弃的念头,但下一秒就鄙视自己了。换一个角度来看待,其实我可以非常enjoy这样的学习,很感谢仲仲在我非常desperate的时候对我说的话“先培养一点兴趣,想一下以后工作中这些学到的看到的东西能派上用场,然后平时有空就像看闲书一样的看,不要一看书就想到这些东西压迫着你的感觉。”我不是个例,因为翻了翻MSN space,我也看到同样在念MBA的学姐的blog中也大呼很累很忙。
     
    写了半个钟头了,得去看书了。以后我尽量每周跟新一次,如果时间允许的话。
