清华校园

我

一片叶子

周末在清华玩了两天，逛了逛街，看了场篮球决赛，原本我是打算去图书馆看看书的，结果，门都没进。正赶上清华男生节（11.12），看着Yudan她们班的女生都在商议送给男生礼物的事，觉得清华男生还真是幸福呀，不过，她们班里30多个男生，10多个女生，每个女生只准备了一份礼物，有一半的男生没有礼物收，多可怜。还真不知道工大的男生节是哪天，就拿圣诞节给Ye补过吧：）球赛打得不错，Yudan说，我们班只要一参加，比赛一点悬念都没有，没输过。观战才发现，还真是，实力相差悬殊呢，班里的女生拉拉队也不喊口号，都没激情了，赢习惯了~

 

晚上回到家，家里还没有供暖，跟校园宿舍比起来，冷好多。明天是新的一周，又有好多事要忙，不过，这些天，很开心，很安心。

 

 

 

 

 

都说今天立冬，可今天却是暖洋洋的，前几天倒是像冬天，5、6级的风，零度左右。我还是没逃过一场流感，咳嗽了一周多，天天祈祷赶快好起来。不管是什么病，只要是病，就折磨人，好像世上有另一种东西也挺像这个的:)。立冬了？好像夏天刚过，秋天呢？这么短！家附近就是香山、八大处，不去看红叶可惜了，若到下一个漫山遍野，还要等三百多天。早上妈妈发来短信：“今天立冬，又一个冬天不期而至，希望我的问候，为你铺就这个冬季每一寸的温暖，希望这冬季开始的第一天，你的心里能漾满暖意！”嗯，挺暖的，妈妈总是那么浪漫^^

 

早上打开窗帘，不小心把一个挂钩拉掉了，踩着椅子上去挂，突然晕了一下，脚也不知往哪里踩，就栽了下来，正好砸在桌子上我的笔记本电脑上，把他由90度砸成了180度，我这个心疼，一想，完了，本本必定粉碎性骨折。他自动关机了，然后我打开机检查，除了L按键不灵敏外，没有大碍，连液晶屏也完好无损。开心得不得了，这是我最有用，最值钱的财产啊。不得不说一下,Compaq Presario 2800，真结实，值得信赖！老爸2003年给买的，为了我出国，表扬一下！

 

在麦可那里看到的，挺好玩，试一试吧：http://www.dookyweb.com/avatars.swf

不过，这个是随便设计的，不是我，哪有那么大眼睛^^
