Why I Stopped Going on My Phone Right After Waking Up---JOHN FISH
I spend a lot of time on my phone and on screens in general. Technology has made my life so much better like it's hard to imagine what life would be like without digital technology and the internet but, you know, recently kind of past few months, after reading some books and some studies.I've started to kind of think about some of the negative effects that technology might be having in my life and I've made a few videos about this. But I've also started to kind of just run experiments in my life with limiting technology in some way, and this video is about one of those experiments, but before I get too much into it, I'd just like to thank the sponsor of this video-Audible.
So I used to use my phone as an alarm clock and you konw , a lot of people do this,it's really convinient if you have to plug your phone in anyway. So you might as well just have it on as an alarm clock,but the problem with this at least for me,is that every morning when I woke up and I turned off my alarm,I see a bunch of notifications,and those notifications would immediately draw me in and I just then spend the first 10 20 30 minutes my day on my phone,dealing with notifications and also just generally scrolling through social media and over time this became a habit to the point when I woke up my first instinct was check instagram , check Twitter ,etc. Now ,i don't think that this has been bad for me in that you know ever mean generally mentally healthy and generally happy. But what I do think to spend these first 20 minutes or so of my day on my phone does is it kind of sets a tone for the rest of my day,which is that if I spent the first 20 minutes of my day on my phone, I'm more likely to spend the rest of my day on my phone as well. Every time I get a little bit of free time ,I'm more likely to pull out my phone and again I don't think that spending time with my phone is bad. I do a lot of good things on my phone. I talked to a lot of friends, I stay up-to-date. As I said, I love technology, but I want to be in control of my relationship with technology. I don't want it to be a compulsive urge to check my phone. I want it to be an option that I have because there are other things that I want to do in my free time too and I'm pretty sure a lot of people out there like me. So recently what I've started doing is super easy, right? I just don't pick up my phone for half an hour after I wake up. I bought an alarm clock online for like five dollars.

A thought of my algrithm and computer architecture learning
As a student majoring in software engineer, I have learned some required courses in the field of computer science when I was a sophomore. At that time, I majored in the technology of digital media. Consequently, I didn't pay much attention to that boring and obscure computer knowledge, so when it came to these courses, all I aimed at was to pass the examination and trying my best to get a better grade for my scholarship. And then when I recalled these every time, I felt a little upset because of my poor knowledge about the foundation in computer science. That was my weakest thing when working, I pondered.
Time runs fast, I am majoring in software engineer now and I do learn those 'boring' things again!! But things are different, I can learning almost all things on the Internet and I can teach myself now. (I don't need an older teacher reading his lecture powerpoint and then feeling all things sucks).To my surprise, I found lots of intriguing learning materials and it turns out these subjects are so fascinating!! Then I am conscious of it is of more signifance to choose pellucid learning materials than working hard. And sometimes, the university education kills lots of learning passions.

Record of dorm decoration (please help me revise)
About 4 months ago, our instructor(she is the guy who cares about our life and affairs) told us we can choose our roommates before the new term begins. So I remember that day a girl opened the door and ask me if I can be her roommate or not. Our workroom is too dark to see her appearance but I know her, she is a friend of one of my friends, and she is good-looking and seems a good girl so I said "of course "with excitement.
About one month later, we graduated from our undergraduate life, and we will meet our new postgraduate life. So I talked about our room with my new roommate, who is a nice girl. Fortunately, we all love something beautiful, so we want a decorated room and buy some satisfying furniture, even brush painting our bed railing. Consequently, before the new terms coming, we bought lots of commodities including besom, mop, clothesline pole, garbage can, green curtain typically. And only as for me, I bought so many storage boxes to make my cats and dogs become orderly.
We spent about 3 weeks to make our room looks great and then we finished all the decorations, I feel so happy we can make all things looks pretty comfortable. Wherever I am, I have to make my living environment become comfortable to stay cozy.

I feel people living in the ranks(please help me checking this one)
Each adult has its annoyance. I can not even remember since when I feel we live in the ranks. There are various kinds of people in the world even in a country such as China. From the unprecise low level to high level, we have the poor, middle class and the rich. I think there are two kinds of poor men, one is living in a poor environment and feeling satisfied with their life, and the other is living in poverty but feeling unhappy. The later one may found something in society, maybe they know how higher-level people living and they long for those things. Unfortunately, all kinds of levels have above 2 kinds of people. I mean, whatever how rich those people are, they all long for other high-level life except those people who realize it's an infinite abyss. The level is a concept at the macro level, we can't change it unless we are the main core of the world, so in this case, those philosophers always say the truth is to pursue your own satisfaction, this may be the only way to get inner peace...
I am a little bit regretful to talk about this topic, I mean maybe I have some kind of idea, but I didn't organize my ideas to tell others at all...So that's it, over!

It's National Day
It's the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of China. The military parade was held in Beijing in the morning and celebration party at night.
Actually I was not aware that this day is a special day cause I haven't watched military parade even once before. However, when I went to the fourth student canteen at noon opening my wechat friend circle and looking for something intrigue, I found that almost every friend in my wechat has sent an affair about loving our country. I was so surprised about that. I mean when did everyone become so patriotic? Not last year or last last year..just this year? May because there were lots of affairs that happened about our Country this year. Maybe about the Hongkong parade and may due to the trade war between America and China. Obviously, China is becoming more and more powerful whatever the economics or the military.
I am proud of our country, it is because of China that most of the Chinese Nation can make a better life and stay safe. But I think I will not say anything about the Communist Party of China.I can say nothing because I realize that I am an ignorant human. I watched a movie about stories of some normal persons when China is developing . Some tiny stories but not simple at all. Last but not least, I hope peace and love , and I hope communism will come true when I still alive.

The City Of My College (1)
It was five years ago when I came to JiangNan University for my college life. And that was the first time for me to the city Wuxi. Wuxi is a quiet city as I often talked about with my acquaintance. Our college settles down a suburb of Wuxi but transportation is very convenient. We can either take a subway or take a bus to the business center for shopping or something. And It's a little bit cheap for students taking public vehicles cause we have a discount card as a college student.
There are lots of parks with beautiful lakes here. We found lots of citizens living here will go hiking when it is a holiday. The weather is comfortable, the sunshine is shining and the wind is soft, I guess all the people lost in the wind every hiking day. (When I wrote here, I almost can't help me opening the door, taking my camera and driving a shared bike to the Chang Guangxi park and enjoy my first day of National Day).
The sky in Wuxi is pretty fascinating sometimes(such as one week ago). One day, the sky is full of charming colors when sun falls down. Clouds are punky with various shapes. By the way, the trees in JNU will dance with the wind, What a cozy painting!
