不是反应过度
电邮到了这个时代已经不是单纯的一个取代书信的工具，很多时候我们已经习惯了用email来schedule一些活动，来召集一群人做一些事情等等。很大的原因应该归功于电邮的即时性，可是问题也出在电邮很即时上面。可是要知道的是，因为电邮扮演的角色日趋多元化，所以处理方式也因此因人而异。有一票人主张inbox zero，另一票人按照事情的急促程度分类，也有人是完全不管自己的mail client是不是有archiving的功能把一大票email全部遗弃inbox里面。

第三篇 再次回忆
一个星期后，已经康复的青年终于重新回到工作岗位。同样的办公室，同样的同事们，却让他隐隐约约感到一丝丝的陌生。可能是因为久没回来吧，他安慰自己道。在走回自己的位子后，他开始翻阅这几个星期公司所做成的生意记录档案。小文说的不错，目前正开始慢慢走向淡季了，上个星期并没有做成一些比较大的生意。

e-learning?
Recently our English for Science unit’s lecturer posted an issue about e-learning at the college’s “e-learning” system (which is actually a blackBoard Learning System that is also used by many other colleges) and we are required to write a response to that issue. She also provided a link to a page that clearly explains about “e-learning”. Until now, I have really no idea on this issue since I am still reading that webpage while I am posting this.
If only looking at my college’s so called “e-learning” system, I really don’t like it much because it is not as useful as I expected. Blackboard Learning System is no doubt a good system handling “e-learning” things but it is not being well used at my college. I myself prefer looking for information at another websites rather than the e-learning system because there are almost nothing provided by our lecturer through the system except for some lecture notes / tutorial questions / assignment questions etc. I have a friend studying at another college and I heard from him that he can get a lot more things through their college BlackBoard System besides notes / assignments etc. And the participation of his lecturer is much better compared to my college. I found that sometimes it is very rare to see any lecturer to join in our discussion in the discussion board and probably this is why Blackboard System is not popular in my college.
But these are only some problems that only occur in my college, and this doesn’t mean that they will happen in other colleges as well. Therefore these cannot be the only points in my response to the issue, *sigh*. Now I would need to start thinking what to write and post them this Friday since I do not have much spare time because the units I took in this semester are quite tough (at least 4 credit hours) and I am definitely don’t wish the same thing happened as the “Introductory to Discrete Mathematics” unit last semester.

七磅重的伤痛
七磅，大概是三公斤再多一点的质量（我们认为的“重量”）。据说片名取名为Seven Pounds的原因是引据沙翁的某著作的故事内容而来的。这故事是说（反正电影快下画了，把剧情spoil掉也没怎么样）Tim Thomas因为内疚失去继续过活的意志可是却不想就此撒手人寰，于是他就找了七个倒霉鬼在他人生前让自己至少让一群人得益。片子是以倒叙（然后倒叙中再倒叙）的方式进行的，故事一开始就几乎已经交代结局，然后一回头讲述过程，然后在过程讲述原因。

算命•一
