Chapel Hill的生活是平靜的。早上七點半起來,九點到校;泡在實驗室和圖書館上課、自習;四點回家,燒菜做飯,打掃衛生;九點躺在床上,寫博客看電影聊天,十一點開始犯困。周末沒有車,哪兒都去不了,除了每周一次坐在房東的小破車裏P顛P顛地去mall購物。
但是感覺上,三周時間依然慢的像過了三年。也許再過三年,就會開始寂寞。周末的半夜睡不著,看完了一部又一部電影,卻還無法入眠,整個人貪婪地窩在枕頭裏,享受人生僅此一次的長假。
然後開始懷念城市的嘈雜:縱然腳下會有地鐵轟鳴地駛過,還是會覺得時間的流逝,不像在這裏,鍾表顯然都成了擺設。不知道甯願選擇幾個友善而冰冷的表情,還是無數憎惡卻熟悉的臉孔。這是個無窮動。
天非常暗,暗的讓人無法從中找出分界線來。在這種環境中,很難有聯想,連遐想都不會有。每天唯一的目標,就是把眼前的事情做好,僅此而已。那些深深隱藏在樹林裏的房子,似乎在暗示著,永遠都不需要改變。
恍恍惚惚,又是一輪新的開始。

3D Design Homework 1
Another homework in the 3D design class was finished today. We'll continue to learn the 3D animation software Maya and complete several typical architectures of Shanghai and China with it during March and April.
Perspective View
Front View
Side View
It's not that hard to learn than supposed to be, only a few elements with two or three commonly-use commands. But building models really consumes time, in fact, every course makes you engaged in projects, test, reports and works.
Therefore, I begin writing contentless blogs with nothing but those I mentioned above. Bless then.

Some screensnaps:
Index Page
Gaming Page
Reference Page

Other parts of the storyboard will be be posted, considering the IPR.

一周半
到米國的一周後,興奮感覺漸漸退去,每個人的習慣開始出現。比如說我會在雙休日睡到十點才起來,比如說Lei和Shell開始抱怨菜味太淡,而Daisy和我抱怨它們不夠甜。女孩子們開始想家,但是電話卻只能接入信號沒有輸出信號,對著話筒狂吼卻毫無反應。Olivia不喜歡房東的種種作風,我不喜歡她的貓——冬天還沒過完就已經開始發春。
小鎮上從哪裏來的人都有,西班牙裔非常多,奇怪的是中國人不多。黑人司機火氣很大,動不動就挂個out of service的牌子,不許你上車了。Olivia在某個寒冷的夜晚偶遇一名男子,開始與她攀談中國的玄學問題。中國人在這裏不說中文,知道彼此的身份也只用英文交流。稀奇古怪,什麽都有。
在複旦逃課一個月辦出國和入學手續,到了這裏還得繼續辦。保險不合格,體檢還缺項。整日盲目地奔波于學校的各個部門。去銀行開戶存了錢,銀行副經理親自接待,享受了一下大戶的待遇。
這裏的Levis和CK都會放在超市的貨架上賣,Nautica和Ralph Lauren也是。Starbuck是三流咖啡館,Subway更加普遍。精神商品極其昂貴,一本書可以賣到RMB1000+以上,購買軟件更是一項巨大的投資。
去了UNC的圖書館,然後想想複旦的那兩棟小樓,也許只能稱爲小書庫。去了UNC的醫學院,才知道複旦其實不如上海醫學院。去了UNC的食堂,才知道我們幸好沒住學校。在UNC的新聞與傳播學院待了很久,才對複旦的新聞學院花大把錢蓋大樓感到後怕。
UNC很冷,也下大雪了。
