ANECDOTE
What I did
My key word is anecdote. I did a lot of researches on the influence on the health problems in narrative writing. And I also did researches on two specific writers: Lu Xun and William Wordsworth. I know anecdote is a serise of connected life events based on emotions and serving the characters and theme. For avatar, I used painting and songs to express my story.
MY STORY
FALL 2020
There are several colorful faces in “A BOOK”. As a new student in Georgetown University, I know some new students. Each face represents a different student. During the pandemic season, we cannot meet in person. The only way of contact is through virtual classes. My classmates strike me as the same faces without any emotions. I hope this virus can be vanished soon, and we can talk in person. Then, there will not be dull countenance.
5:30am is my first rap music posted in the NetEase Cloud Music on September 25, 2020. The song is called 5:30am because I made this song at 5:30am. The inspiration came from my classes. As an international student who studied Mathematics and Engineering may encounter more difficulties than others in the major of Communication because it is a fresh start for me. At the beginning of this semester, I feel so tired and anxious because of many readings and writing assignments. I cannot fit. Therefore, I expressed my feelings in lyrics.
Escape is my second rap music posted in the NetEase Cloud Music on October 3, 2020. The inspiration for this came from a dream. I dreamed of my ex-girlfriend. There is an unproven theory that if you always dream someone, it means that you are ready to forget her/him. When I got up, I felt so sad and wanted to express my feelings through the lyrics. The lyrics are all about my memory when we were in a relationship.
On october 15, 2020 , I sold my car that had been with me for four years since I studied at StonyBrook University. This is my car’s plate with the plate, map of number and motto of New York. This car includes my four years of memory. I believe that this will be life’s most beautiful and most memorable moment.
Then, the mid term was coming. There were several papers needed to write and many readings had to read. At that time, I remember that I lost 8kg in two weeks because I always left anxious. I did not think that I could keep going. There are six sad faces which represent my everyday emotion. I forced myself to keep going because I know all grumble and excuses are useless for my future.
November 11, 2020 is a very special day, I went outside with my group members to take some footage for a documentary assignment. There was a free Covid-19 test station, so I tested. Three days later, I was called by this test organization and the staff told me that my result was positive. The red fingerprint was taken when I was positive. There is a green virus at the left bottom corner. As an international student, there is no family around me, so I just felt helpless. Luckly, I did not have any symptoms. 17 days later, I came to another organization to get the test and my result was negative. I also got the IBM test, and the result was also negative. The blue fingerprint was taken when I was negative. There is a red sun at the top right corner.
