My Summer Vacation is Over

This year is different. I usually have a summer vacation from beginning of July to the end of August, but this summer vacation is only to July 31. "What is the special this year?", you may ask, and I will tell you,"yes." This semester is really big for me because I will become an intern of medical laboratory scientist which we called it medical technologist in the past. We do lab stuff in the hospital, and help doctor diagnosis.

I will have an intern life for half year, and I think that is short, comparing to others. Even the time is short, I am still nervous about the intern things because many seniors told us that it would make us exhausted when we become an intern. Besides, they told us the lab stuff is not interesting at all. All we do is watching machines running. Anyway, being an intern is new for me after all, so I won't know it before I am one.

However, I can't believe my summer vacation is over so fast. I planned some thing for this vacation, such as studying, finding a part time job, having a trip, but I have only done one which is having a trip. Technically, I have done half of studying. Never mind, I have known that I won't finish my plan already. I just feel terrible about my short vacation.

Shot To The Heart

It was a joke that I saw on the internet:

Aging Mildred was a 93 year-old woman who was particularly despondent over the recent death of her husband Earl. She decided that she would just kill herself and join him in death.

Thinking that it would be best to get it over with quickly, she took out Earl's old Army pistol and made the decision to shoot herself in the heart since it was so badly broken in the first place.

Not wanting to miss the vital organ and become a vegetable and burden to someone, she called her doctor to inquire as to just exactly where the heart would be.

"On a woman," the doctor said, "your heart would be just below your left breast." Later that night, Mildred was admitted to the hospital with a gunshot wound to her knee.

I know that the woman didn't know where the heart is, but I don't know the ha ha point of this joke. Does anyone know it?

The Oldest Veteran Passed Away

I accidentally read a news about an veteran, Henry Allingham, who participated in WW1 and has died aged 113. It is no doubt that he has lived for a long long time. He had been in so many historical event which includes WW1. Mr Allingham had so much experience but he seldom mentioned them to others until few years ago, he started making public appearance to share his own memories. All of them are treasure not only for people but also for the countries.

The news said that the primary minister of UK also show tributes to this great man, and called him a "tremendous character". I don't know Mr Allingham actually, but I can feel how amazing he is through this news. At the end of the news, it tell us that there are only two British survivors of WW1, and they are Harry Patch, 111, and Claude Choules, 108, now living in Australia.

After I finished this news, I start to think about how would I be if I were aged 113. Am I great as Henry Allingham? The answer is obviously unsure because no one know the future. But, is there any possibility that I can live until aged 113? I think it is possible. Thanks to the improvement of medicine, people live much more longer. When I read histories, it was very long if some one has lived for 50 years, but now, so many people died at age of eighties or nighties. Reasonable to assume, people around my aged can live more than a hundred years.

Well, it is kind of good news to people if we can live longer, but I have a different idea about this. People live longer which means they would work longer. Then it will have a problem that old people occupy the jobs so that young people cannot find one. In social welfare, it will be a burden if old people are a lot. I did say living longer is bad, but to say that it is worth for us to think about it.

Auteria

Recently, I found an online game named Auteria. Like other online games, you play a character in this virtual space, but there are some thing different with other online games which is that there are many skills instead of occupations. You can practice all the skill you like if your level is high enough. The skills are attack, deffense, cook, harvest, magic, enchant, blacksmith, tailor, farmor,and combat.

However, there is no skill point for you to enhance you sill, instead, every skills have its own level, and you should practice them one by one. For example, if you want to increase you attack ability, you just go to attack some creatures, and if you want to increase your defense ability, you just go to be attacked by creatures. That is simple, right? This property makes this game more easy to play, and you don't need to worried about what skill is important or useful.

There are also many quests in Ateria, just like other online games. You talk to NPCs for getting a quest and do what they told you. In the beginning, quests would tell you how to play this game, and tell you some tips about this game. You should be patient to read the descriptions.

My name in Auteria is Kue. If anyone want to play this game, I would love to help you sometimes, but I just play this game for a day, so I still don't know this game very well. This is the website of Auteria: http://www.auteria.com, and this game can be installed in windows, mac, and linux. Of course, it is free.
