Final results for my applications

I got the conditional offer from Cranfield yesterday when I went back home to pick something up, so, including Imperial College, which has promised to handle me a conditional offer in writing in recent weeks via email last week, all the six universities had replied me the result for their decisions.

 

The first one I got was:

The University of Sheffield:

Aerodynamics and Aerostructures MSc(Res)

Department of Mechanical Engineering

With conditions ask me to obtain an average score for over 70% and a bachelors’ degree.

 

As I had mentioned in one of my previous daily in space, I got the reject letter from Bath on the day I received the offer from Sheffield. I’m really in confidence that I was not rejected by Bath because of the limitation of my academic level, but because this programme has already offered two places to two of my college mates in another department (I knew this from Taisha that the lover duo used an id as 320405 which every students if not stupid from BUAA will definitely know what it means, and they said they will accept the offer.) and I think this was the exactly reason why Bath rejected me, cause I don’t think they would handle three places out of 15 to Chinese students.

The University of Bath:

MSc in Aerospace Engineering

Department of Mechanical Engineering

 

Then about two weeks later, was

The University of Manchester:

Thermal Power & Fluid Engineering Full Time MSc

School of Mechanical, Aerospace & Civil Engineering

With conditions ask me to achieve an average score for over 75% and a bachelors’ degree.

 

In the late December of last year, I got email from Soton that told me I’ve been made a place on the course below and soon I would get the conditional offer in writing, but I’ve seen nothing from my mailbox until 11th Feb this year that I got the exactly offer from Southampton with condition asks me to obtain a bachelors’ degree in order to transfer my con-offer into unconditional offer.

The University of Southampton:

MSc Aerodynamics and Computation

School of Engineering Sciences

 

Then around the day I received the offer from Soton, I sent email to enquiry the process of my application to Imperial College. One day later, I got the reply from admissions office that told me that my application was still under consideration in the department and no decision had been made as yet but about half hour later I got the email for the department I applied that told me I’ve been made a conditional offer in the course I applied for but the condition would be up to 85% on average providing the bachelors’ degree which definitely would be included. The staff in that department also remind me that if I would not manage to obtain such level, there would be an alternative choice for me which is "MSc in Composite Materials" which I think is the Lucy’s programme, isn’t she? And this programme’s entrance level will be a little bit lower that an average score for over 80% will be sufficient.

Imperial College:

MSc in Computational Methods for Aeronautics, Flow Management and Fluid-Structure Interaction

Department of Aeronautics

 

And yesterday, when I went back home to pick the charge for my cell phone, I found the offer from Cranfield had arrived. And the condition is to obtain a bachelors’ degree. But Cranfield asks for an offer fee for 25 pounds and require me to reply before 8 March.

Cranfield University:

MSc Aerospace Dynamics

School of Engineering

 

So, the final score will stay at 5:1, I conceded one reject, and the condition of IC means that I may cannot going to London. But however, 5:1 is not a bad score and I’m quite satisfied with th

 

What will be my final choice? Cranfield has been excluded, IC may has been excluded either, and left Sheffield, Manchester and Soton remained. Manchester is now in advance place, maybe is because my favourite Manchester United. Who knows? I will reply all offers in the coming month.

 

PS, Soton gives me a scholarship for around 1,500 pounds.

What a gutsy performance

Figure Skating: The courage of a 20-year-old grips Games

Feb 14 2006 

By Jon Bramley

TURIN, Feb 14 (Reuters) – Zhang Dan is only 20 and probably knows nothing of the great acts of courage and defiance which have graced the Olympics Games over the past 110 years.

But on Monday night she wrote her own piece of Games history which will never be forgotten by the thousands who witnessed it in the ice rink or the many millions who watched on television.

The tiny, elfin-faced ice dancer had an outside chance of a gold when she and partner Zhang Hao took to the ice to round off a mesmerising night in the pairs event.

Within a few seconds of their routine their hopes were dashed. Zhang was thrown high into the air and span in a blur four times in an attempt at the rarely witnessed quadruple Salchow.

To gasps all around a packed Palavela, Zhang misjudged her landing and hit the ice with a sickening thud. Her legs crumpled beneath her like a new-born fawn and, all dignity lost, she slithered into a crash barrier on her backside.

For a second or two, she remained there, a broken figure before gingerly regaining her feet and attempting to continue the routine. It was clear within a few further seconds she could do no such thing.

Her background music stopped and the fixed smile of the skater was replaced by a grimace of pain. After a few more moments she skated stiffly towards her coach.

That appeared to be the end of it but Zhang, as we were all to discover, has a backbone of pure tungsten steel.

After a couple more minutes she started slowly circling the ice again before indicating she was ready to carry on.

The crowd, finally catching on to this remarkable feat of sporting bravery, broke into instantaneous applause and then watched in silent entrancement as Zhang returned to this sporting high wire balancing act.

HIGH-RISK

Only she will know how she got through the next five or six minutes but by the end of it, Zhang and her partner had completed the rest of their routine, involving several more high-risk spins without so much as a blade out of place.

Their reward at the end was deafening cheering — louder than for the gold-medal Russian pair who had preceeded them — and a standing ovation from the entire arena.

Zhang received her marks with a huge bandage on her thigh and an ice pack on her knee. Extraordinarily, the Chinese had bounced back from this early-routine crash to earn enough points for the silver.

At a news conference, Zhang gave a good impression of a young woman who did not understand what the fuss was about.

She described her fall as "probably a good experience for my future career" but spoke almost nothing of the courage she had summoned to carry on after such a tumble.

In fact, nothing she will do in the sport will be remembered in the same way even if she wins at the next three Games.

Pietri Dorando, the little marathon runner from Italy, was a first class runner who repeatedly won the leading races of his day but is remembered today as the man who was helped over the line in the London Games of 1908 after collapsing completely spent within metres of the finishing line.

His aides succeeded only in ensuring his disqualification but they also confirmed his place indelibly in sporting history while the winner of that race has long since been forgotten.

Most would be hard pressed to name another sportsman or woman who even took part in those Games but Dorando’s memory is revered in athletics to this day.

You can fast forward nearly 90 years from Dorando to Kerri Strug, the U.S. gymnast.

She also had a glittering career but it was only her courage in pulling off a gold medal-winning vault for the home team at the Atlanta Games while her badly sprained ankle was heavily strapped that confirms her place in sporting history.

That was only 10 years ago but today papers and Websites still refer to those few seconds of almost foolhardy bravery as the defining moment of the 1996 Atlanta Games.

We may just have seen the defining moment of the 20th Winter Olympics in Turin’s Palavela ice rink on Monday night.

 

quoted from the official website of Turin 2006

http://www.torino2006.org/ENG/OlympicGames/news/news_eng160974.html

 

I knew that Chinese duo has won a silver in figure skating after a fall from Irene’s space.

Frankly speaking, i didn’t pay much attention on it until i watch the replay from television after supper. It must be definitely very hurt for tiny Zhang, and it really impressed me for what she had done, that is come back to carry on.

She’s really a proud for whole Chinese, and for the true spirit of Olympics as well.

A啊…

将近一年的不懈努力之后,在被拒掉了14张之后,终于,Airliners,这个被所有大陆拍友成为A的航空图库,收了我一张…

难死我了…申请出国也没这么坎坷啊…都快被拒傻了…

However,this really shows the very high standards that Airliners.net required.

现在想想,似乎已经记不起第一次给A传的是哪些照片了,大概是美国大陆航空首航北京时候的PeterMax彩绘吧,有时候翻翻自己过去的文件夹,感觉真的是那时候的图片质量确实很烂,也能感觉到,在跑道边上站了一年之后,手中的相机也用的更加得心应手了。

飞机这种东西,毕竟还是不同于平时的摄影素材,机场的视觉尺度,被极大的扩张,一百米长的飞机,参照着4km长的跑道,一切的感觉都是不一样的,觉得很近的地方,走起来却要半个小时,而飞机还在200km/h+的运动中,需要把镜头拉到135以上,所有这些,都和平时生活中摆弄相机的感觉不一样。

距离远了,靠天吃饭的依赖性也就高了,阴天的时候,一架白色的飞机回到家里一看,就是一灰色的,噪点和对焦的问题都会头疼,这半年来,埋头吃photoshop,也总算掌握一点把图片救回来,或是处理的更好一些的技巧。

终于有一张在A上的图片了,早上去了carnoc,还看见特大狗发的帖子,问A上的新人,呵呵,心里感觉还是很兴奋的。

展示一下吧~

and my album, now there is only one photo in it but I wish I could add more and more photos in the coming years~

http://www.airliners.net/search/photo.search?pid=27350

well, I’m really fell deep in aviation photography, so,

keep walking~

三年之坎

还在上驾校的时候,师傅就告诉我说,拿了本儿,第三年,千万要小心,尤其是男生,觉得自己油了,牛得不得了,结果出了事儿,一辈子的遗憾。
 
这样算来,现在的我,就正在我的第三年之中。
 
其实平时开车的时候都还算小心,比起我高中骑自行车的风格来说,我开车真的是算温和派了…
 
不过这两天连着好几天晚上天黑之后开车出去,却觉得最近我还是少摸方向盘为妙…
 
昨天出去给吾伫送掌上电脑,倒车的时候撞到了边上的自行车,幸好保险杠上有一条橡胶,正好顶到橡胶上,不然刮花了保险杠,我妈又要唠叨我了…
 
今天回宿舍拿点东西,在学院路上,和一辆赛欧旅行车,他要并线,可我几乎是到最后一刻才反应过来,按死喇叭,从边上擦过去…
 
总结一下,就是这几天开车,总觉得心不在焉,很难集中起注意力来,而且觉得眼睛总在打架,一坐在车里,就困的要死,前天出去加油的时候,我恨不得都快睡着了…
 
哎,晚上开车的感觉是挺不一样的,最近还是别开了,不然觉得早晚要出事…
 
拿了三年的本儿,虽说不是天天开,不过也开过很多很多了,见过的事故也不少,有几次还差点赶在我的头上,一身冷汗的经历也是有的。
 
每次一个人出去,妈妈总要嘱咐几句,有时候说她唠叨,但其实自己也能体会,下雪的时候,我也会反过来让爸爸妈妈都要小心。
 
所谓的三年之坎,其实也只是一个警戒,每天开车出门,其实都要记住,不要飙车,不要斗气,不要违章,要知道爸爸妈妈在为我操心,要平平安安回家~

Am I looks like an engineer?

在哥们儿的space里遇上了初中时候的朋友,呵呵,很酷,也很聪明的女生~现在在PKU
 
晚上在线上遇到,聊了一会儿,被提到了一个有点困惑的话题…
 
“我觉得你可能学finance什么得”
 
哎,怎么说呢?
 
其实我也很不理解,我现在为什么在学这个。
 
其实从很小的时候,或者说从懂得以后可能会选择一条路的时候,我就希望自己能成为一名accountant,爸爸上大学的时候学的就是accounting,尽管后来没有真正的成为accountant,但不可否认的是他仍然是accounting领域内的成功者。
 
虽然其实也说不出其它的理由我为什么喜欢经济类的学科,但很长一段时间里,我一直以为我大学确实会去学accounting。
 
但报志愿的时候,还是报了自然科学。而且还选了一个力学类的专业。
 
也许是爸爸希望我学自然科学,但他原来希望我去学电子,力学确实是我自己选的。
 
现在,快要毕业了,要想想以后应该该作些什么,那什么糊口的时候,我又迷茫了。
 
其实这也就是为什么我一直希望能找到起点好一点的工作,而并不急着想去出国的原因。
 
航空科学,不是那种可以课上讲点什么就可以的,更多的时候都依赖于实验,长时间的实验,无论是计算实验,还是模型实验,所带来的知识积累,所以出国,对我来说其实并不是一年半,打道回府,这么简单的事情。
 
而我也怎么看自己,都不像是一个能安心做学问的博士…
 
so, why i decide to go abroad to further my study? Am i really looks like an engineer?
