John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge
This is one of my favorite tea towels, it was a gift last Christmas. It is very wonderful to hang in the new kitchen. This bridge is actually the longest suspension bridge in the world designed by John A. Roebling before the completion of the Brooklyn Bridge (Cincinnati: Fuguo), but every time I drive it before, I feel it The blue steel frame looks better than the Brooklyn Bridge. Because the exposed grate deck of the bridge will make a rhythmic sound when the wheels touch the bridge, it is also called the singing bridge by the locals. On the day of the interview, I passed by the bank of the “familiar” Brooklyn Bridge, and I felt blessed 🙂
It has been a long time since I have the leisure time to sit down and write a blog. I want to take advantage of the last week before going to work to record the brain dump of my life that has been very confusing recently.
The confusion is because I find that as long as I leave the work routine, my life will become muddled. Even if I do all kinds of trivial things in life, I like to be in the interval of 9 to 5. One is lamenting that work has brought so many subtle influences on work and rest habits, and the other is doubting whether I have the ability to be my own boss…
The burn out before moving made me let myself go. Even if the apartment is not cleaned up to the level of cleanliness that the former self would be satisfied with, you can still enjoy the present without any scruples, break the biological clock that wakes up naturally at 7:30, and go to the city to run wild and do nothing.
My family and friends didn’t expect me to find a new job so smoothly this time. My dad estimated that it would take 3 months. The family members said why it seemed so simple. In fact, every time I find a job, I feel that I rely on a lot of luck and past experiences that I never thought about rewarding. For example, being a cashier in a bakery has really made me more curious about strangers, and I am not afraid of awkward conversations. Although watching 2521 as an audience, I heard the phrase “Because you make me expect something” and laughed madly behind the screen, but in reality, I think “You have nothing to expect from me” is what I need. My expectation for the new job is that I must earn more than my family members, and I don’t want to be in an industry that I definitely hate. At present, I am content with just satisfying the two. (I have a hunch that after half a year, I will “do what I do and hate what I do”…)
From the Midwest to New York, what makes me feel most comfortable is that nobody is from here. The stereotype that Cincy locals are ridiculed is that locals love to ask you which high school you graduated from. It’s been almost a month since I came to New York, and I haven’t met a so-called “local person”. It’s such a good feeling to not be constantly reminded that I’m the only person of color in the room…
I like the current area very much, it is a good buffer zone for villagers to enter the city. You can still drive to buy groceries, and your favorite sea! There is no worry that the sound of the waves can’t take away.
Traffic is the change I like the most and hate the most. I like it because New York may be one of the only cities in the United States that can completely rely on public transportation (people watcher ecstasy), and it is healthier to walk more every day. Hate it because if you drive yourself on the road, you will realize that you also have hidden road rage.
Entering the third five years in the United States, I feel more and more that my whole life has been dominated by star chasing. For example, when I was in elementary school, my motivation to learn English came from reading Jake Gyllenhaal’s paparazzi. Now, as long as he plays Broadway, I can watch it anytime (
