Mid Nov
《The Best College Essays》: Do you believe most of the personal statements are written on the night before the deadline?
Me: Who will put his future at such a great risk?

Early Dec
Me: Well, I have been busily working on my A Levels, my Toefl, and my SAT. I also need time to pack my luggage and prepare for prom. I did not waste my time. There are just a lot of OTHER things to do. I shall start my essays after I go home.

Mid Dec
Me: I need a break after my marathon of examinations. I need some time to get used to my long missed home. Since I will definitely work hard later to finish all my applications, I might as well just enjoy myself now and play hard.

　　她在睡梦中惊醒，看见天色昏暗。左手伸至被外，在冬夜中早已冰寒。倏才的梦境，像是个预示。
　　那是一场表演，她是台上清唱的主角。男一号曾表示要来捧场，迟迟未到。男二号露了个面，见她表演后前去与各方寒暄，便留下字条，匆匆离去。她到座位后，只见一纸称颂，不见良人。对唱的男主此时发来短信说别走，她心生喜悦，以为将发生一场樱花树下的艳遇。而他不过是想要她一个女同学的联络方式，交待清楚，便可离开。
　　她就像自己在表演中途留在舞台上的高跟鞋，错愕，尴尬，为自己的自作多情无地自容，而又不得不继续高昂着天鹅的骄傲，若无其事般矜持。
　　她想，这个世间，有谁会在你一无所有的时候，郑重地告诉你，我认定你了，愿意与你纠缠，一生一世，天长地久。那不过是童话里面骗人的技码。
　　母亲在睡梦中翻了个身。窗外天色渐亮。
　　她一个人苏醒，一个人悲伤。

• Stanford students are widely known to possess a sense of intellectual vitality. Tell us about an idea or an experience you have had that you find intellectually engaging.

If Doraemon comes from the future, can he travel further back to the past? If time travel is equivalent to space travel in principle, in other words, this activity only involves a body moving along one or multiple dimensions, why can Doraemon see a younger version of himself in the past? Shouldn’t there be only one body of a person at any time at any point in the whole universe?

If any object has only one entity, when we travel back to 1891 and see the Stanford campus, does the present one collapse in that moment? If not, does an object existing for a while make indefinite copies of itself saved in every instant, which can be later referred back to? Does this violate the Principle of Conservation of Energy? If this is the case, is travelling in time to the same spot similar to travelling between different bus stops in no time? That makes the traveler coexist in different places. Does it suggest the possibility of another me existing somewhere else at this moment? Do parallel universes exist?

Coming back to time travel, if a wormhole, a “shortcut” through spacetime, exists, with what material should we build it and how do we stabilize it? If I am brave enough to enter the Schwarzschild wormhole, which will collapse before I exit from the other end, where will I end up be? Do I simply disappear? Where does the energy in my body go?

I got myself totally confused again.
