First Legal Day Off from School on September 1 in 12 Years

I’ve been quite lazy lately, but I finally managed to drag myself out of bed today to change the password for my bank card issued by the school. School starts the day after tomorrow, and I’ll be entering a new environment soon. This afternoon, the usually lively “Nongda 06 New Students” group was much quieter, probably because many of my friends from other places have already set off on their journeys. Sometimes I envy those who get to study away from home, as they have the opportunity to experience a new city. With nothing better to do, I went to browse the school’s Wose Tu BBS and found a message on the homepage that read “Warm welcome to new students” posted by the Student Dormitory Service Department. However, upon closer inspection, there wasn’t any substantial content. I was hoping to see which dormitory I’ve been assigned to…


Today, I discovered a fun domain name

It’s in Chinese pinyin, which translates to “Mom says even if you register a domain name that’s too long, Baidu can still search for it.” Apparently, this is the longest domain name currently in use. When you click on it, you’re directed to Baidu’s homepage. It seems Baidu has purchased this domain name. I think it’s quite amusing, so I’ve added it to my bookmarks. From now on, I’ll use this URL to access Baidu - it’s much more impressive than the usual www.baidu.com~~

The summer break is coming to an end, and I haven’t accomplished many of the things I had planned to do. It’s really a pity. Now I realize that summer break after high school is like this~ Three months may not seem long, but looking back on the time that has passed since the college entrance exam in June, it’s all become a blur.. This morning, I was woken up by the noise from the nearby elementary school’s opening ceremony, haha. This is indeed my “first legal day off on September 1st in 12 years” (quote from Su Wei). 12 years, yes, 12 years ago on September 1st, I must have been standing nervously in my elementary school’s auditorium. Back then, I wouldn’t have thought that 12 years later, I’d be spending September 1st in a state of pretend death, lounging in bed.
