Farewell to 那时的岁月,不说告别

June 29, 2006
一直想找个时间,来跟大家说声再见——其实更要说的,应该是谢谢。

记得几个月以前吧,也是英版的什么帖子,我说那时的日子已经依稀,还只是刚刚才开始申请呢,蜗牛mm说现在手里offer一把,我却不去了;也是文版,上个月吧,在一个帖子里问我什么时候去~

我应该来好好告诉大家的啦~

2004年初的时候,正在辛勤的上着XDF的GRE课,高中同学告诉我了太傻,上来注册了我的id,William,stand for my 名字,认识我的人也都知道啦,偶的“名”也确实是W开头的,呵呵,Sze,stand for my 姓,一种旧式的拼写方法,呵呵,因为如果按拼音来看的话,“Shi”和“She”没法区别啊,呵呵~

之后的一年半,我可是不折不扣的潜水员啊~当大家都在进行原始积累的时候,呵呵,我可真是好孩子啊。

真正开始混迹英版,应该是05年4/5月的事情吧,那时开始考雅思了,在英版,还有雅思版流窜,看看大家的有用的帖子,建议什么的,偶尔,则是一些如同现在的新人一般的弱智问题,不过现在看来,我当初也是个“好新人”啦呵呵,偶可是经常用搜索功能的…

之后便是05年的出发时间了,我有了自己的第一个精华贴,现在想起来,也正是这个精华,给了我不一样的感觉,力所能及的帮助其它版友回答问题,从中所得到的肯定的感觉,真的无比美好啊~(嗯…我也承认错误…我曾经向belle被子讨过精华…不过只有一次啊…真是不该不该…)

在英版的前前后后,sno3小三,darren达人,鸦鸦大姐,紫色,叮当,文版,风蚀,z版,琪琪,版聊猪,亲爱的呢喃,蜗牛mm,狮子,被子belle,tula,踏雪,胖子,肥猫,饺子,望导,apple,mishuitao,benny,清逸mm,圣经,小猪,味精,小兰,西风,fantasyJay,ruixue,kuangtian,benjamin,蜜罐鼠,版聚认识的hoho~现在的三位掌门大人中的yutian还有松鼠~
还有我可爱的和最棒的校友crazycat,vivianjang,duke

(还有好多好多啊~小蜗牛要是在这里落下了哪位朋友别怪罪我啊。。。先赔罪了。。。)

很多很多的朋友,而且都是很好很好,也很热心的朋友们,在我申请所走过的路上,给予我无私的帮助和支持~

从9月开始办理成绩,填表,文书写作,成绩啦,什么的,10月寄送,等待中的11月,12月收到的Shef和Man的offer,还有Bath的拒信,转过年来的offer大丰收,剩下的所有学校都给了offer。现在回头看看,似乎已经久远,不禁感叹时间的流逝,但是永远铭记在心中的,是所有帮助过我的朋友们的好。DIY给了我无限深刻的经历,现在我仍然记得当完成材料准备时的满足,寄走申请时的紧张,等回音时的期待,以及offer时的欣喜——我是那样的坚信,这种感觉,是无可替代的,更是别人给不了的~

11月月底的时候吧,在清逸mm和其它朋友的帮助和支持下,我成为了文书版的版主,肩负着责任,这是我在太傻的里程碑吧,但是不变的,仍然是对于英版的归属感。每天上网来,英版仍然是必需要来的地方。回答大家的问题,分享自己的心得以及申请过程中的点滴和喜悦。

年底的曼城版聚的帖子,我是相当的羡慕啊~呵呵(因为那么多版里的mm都到啦)。我希望,一年后的我,也可以在那里,也可以体会这样一份欢乐。

那是最美好的两个月,因为自己,因为申请,因为一些人,和其中的故事。尽管在学校遇到一些困难和问题,但是是英版,是我的朋友们,支持我勇敢的继续着。

春天的版聚,是happy的经历,圣经,小猪,小雪,还有版聚后无比风光的hoho~呵呵,你们都是好朋友~

为什么英版总有这么高的人气呢?因为这里总可以给人家的感觉,那种归属感,还有开放而融洽的气氛

Thank you, and Thank you all~ I love you guys~

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

走在一个人的申请路上,我其实也一直在考虑我要选择的路。

我中学的朋友,还有了解我的朋友,都知道,其实,工科,并不是我的第一选择。我承认我感激北航所给予我的一切,喜欢我现在的专业,我喜欢飞机,喜欢蓝天中的感觉,在这个领域中的探索也令我着迷~

这个学期毕业设计,我的流动控制的内容完全是自己完成的,做为国防科工委的资助项目,取得的结果也超过了国外的同类研究,昨天毕设答辩,也被推荐优秀论文了,尽管能否评上还不能肯定,但这其中得到的经历也令我难忘。

应该有人知道我喜欢拍飞机,这大概是两年以前开始的吧。大家以为我是因为学飞机,才喜欢拍飞机,但事实是,我是因为迷恋拍飞机,才重新帮自己找回对于专业的曾经迷失其中的方向。

所以我也曾不止一次的问自己,我真的适合做研究吗?真的适合做个Scholar吗?大学四年,我并不一帆风顺。在公共基础课那一年,我非常迷失,学的很艰难,有过fail,以及挣扎在及格线上的经历。

我曾经想去学accounting,finance,marketing,很多人因为这些专业好找工作,或是什么其它的原因而去学,而我是真的喜欢,或者说感兴趣。

我想doing some business,尽管我也承认我不知道自己是否能做好,能否取得成绩,能否出色,但性格告诉我,我需要去尝试。现在去英国,固然很好,欧洲在航空技术领域的领先,肯定会对我有所帮助,但问题是,若我完成了PhD再回来,我应该也就不再有机会可以做转型的尝试了吧。

So,我找了工作,and I’m about to join the CATIC, a conglomerate with aviation products & technology import and export as its core business. 一个可以将我在business上的向往,和我所学专业充分结合的机会。

人总是需要尝试,还有探索的,不去努力,又怎么能够取得自己想要的结果呢?在英版的每一位版友,其实也都是在自己所选择的道路上勇敢的前行着的啊,对吧。

所以,让我抓住现在的机会吧,几年之后,英国仍然会是我的目标,我希望,那时候,我可以满怀憧憬的去学marketing~

◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎◎

给英版的下一代~

呵呵,有时候,觉得我是被加在中间的一代~

我熟悉的朋友们,都在英国,都比我大一岁…

现在流窜于英版,跟我一岁,马上要去英国的呢?又有很多并不熟悉…

呵呵,however,这里都是我们前行路上的一站,我们都曾在这里获得过帮助,也都在这里奉献过我们的热情。

愿大家能将这里当作你们的家,你们的dedication,英版会永远记住。

就像原来英版的规则里写到的那样——英版是我家,建设靠大家~

Sorry for no longer able to fly to Britian this fall.

Best Wishes for friends who are currently in UK as well as those who are about to fly away~

Best Wishes for your bright future!!!

Best Wishes for you ALL!!!

我会记得大家,想念大家,也还是会经常回来看看的啦~

Final results for my applications

February 16, 2006

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.

报告一下offer吧

January 21, 2006
嗯~其实很早就收到了,跟有些朋友说了,有些没说,这里放上来,就算跟大家都说过了啊~
 
收到了下面三个学校的conditional offer~Soton的还在路上,没拿到,曼大和谢大的con都是小菜一叠,肯定没有问题
 
The University of Sheffield:
Aerodynamics and Aerostructures MSc(Res)
Department of Mechanical Engineering

 

The University of Manchester:
Thermal Power & Fluid Engineering Full Time MSc
School of Mechanical, Aerospace & Civil Engineering

 

The University of Southampton:
MSc Aerodynamics and Computation
School of Engineering Sciences

 

On about 19 December of last year, I got the offer from Sheffiled, along with the reject letter from the university listed below……

The Univeristy of Bath:
MSc in Aerospace Engineering
Department of Mechanical Engineering

 

Well, that’s all what i got a result.

meanwhile, IC has not given me a reject letter, which means maybe i am still be considering, and i got no any news form Cranfield neither…

现在有点活不见人,死不见尸的感觉,IC和Cranfield好歹出个声儿啊…

 

换了Enigma的歌,一个人寂寞的时候听这个,感觉很安静

To you, 很想你,很想很想…

Final Selections of My Postgraduate Taught Courses

October 30, 2005

人家都是几个月以前就把想学的课程看好了,之后再开始忙文书什么乱七八糟的。可我正好反过来,推荐信、PS都弄得差不多了,课程还没选好,哎,真是的。好在大方向早已定下来,所以推荐信和PS都有一个内容的方向可以指引。

这个周末回家,正经开始选课程。上网慢慢看,一个一个相继选好,夜里十二点,就差Cranfield一所学校了,曼联和米德尔斯堡的比赛也开始了,BTV-6,LIVE。

正在看网页,突然Mendieta这小子一脚远射,结果居然就进了?!TMD!一眼没看就这样了?!之后的比赛就更郁闷了,上半场被灌了三个,下半场又是Mendieta!妈的,这小子晚上吃什么了?!直到最后补时,克里斯蒂亚诺才利用角球攻进一球,而这球还是曼联在英超创立以来的第1000个进球。哎,感觉这球还不如留着下轮干死切尔西的时候进呢…这么一场大败,这个记录还有什么意义呢?

比赛搞得我真是郁闷坏了,对这满是英文的页面,我是一句话也看不懂了…看来是大脑没有响应了…这样坐了二十分钟,还是睡觉去了…

今天早上重启动之后,终于又能看懂这鸟文了…完成了选课的大业~~~

今天遇事不顺…

October 25, 2005
都怪前两天觉得什么都很顺利,今天遇到了一点问题,是大是小现在还不好说。
 
23小时之后再看吧,希望明天这个时候能有个好心情。
 
PS,今天上午北京的天好阴霾啊,就觉得不爽…
 
不过晚上可以回家吃饭,我想回去好好睡一觉,过去的一周太累了~~~

唉,人家都拿到offer了,我还忙着推荐信

October 18, 2005
今天上TS,受了大刺激,看见有人已经拿到offer了,尽管他还没有语言,肯定是个con-offer,不过那也是个offer啊
 
而我呢?
 
晚上回家来,忙着推荐信的排版,为不同的学校加上不同的抬头,然后~~~~~~
 
唉,不知道这个月底能不能把所有的申请都寄出去,但愿吧……

两封推荐信finished~~~

October 14, 2005
呵呵,两封推荐信,完成了~~~
 
找过了老师,其中一个已经同意了,呵呵,另外一个说要和班主任聊聊再对我深入了解一点…唉,有时候有些教授真是比较可怕…
 
不过无论如何,他至少没有拒绝我,那就不错了,等我找班主任说说让他帮我说说,希望可以有用吧~~~
 
下周的任务就是个人自传了,上周的外教跟我说写完自传可以让他看一下,呵呵,Simon,很好的英国人
 
PS,今天晚上给TNT快递打了个电话,呵呵,接线的女生说话好咔哇依啊…
 
希望这一个月一切都顺利吧~~~

文书写作正式开始~~~

October 8, 2005
乌啦啦~~~
 
终于告别了那些烦心事,现在可以比较轻松的看看文书写作的问题了。
 
接下去的两周主要要完成一篇推荐信还有PS,剩下一封推荐信需要和系里一位大牛交流一下~~~
 
成绩单什么的等过两周再弄吧,我们学校据说这个还是很快的
 
抓紧时间,加油吧!!!

曼大啊曼大…

October 5, 2005
今天点开曼大的主页,呵呵,更新了,变换了风格,现在的主页显得很简洁清新~~~
 
马上去研究生页面看一下,都更新了,应该可以有新一年的资料供索取了吧,很遗憾…仍然是2005年的…
 
无语了,呢喃说动作慢是曼大的特点,那这特点也太鲜明突出了吧…
 
这么多学校,我有兴趣的,资料都已经在手上了,只有曼大,还漫漫无边…
 
上周给曼大的小秘发了邮件,问关于联系教授和资料索取的问题,到现在还没有回…
 
哎~~~

taught or research

October 2, 2005
taught or research, 曾经我很确定的问题,现在却开始犹豫起来。
 
原本我一直是倾向于research的,对于学航空的学生来说,我一直希望自己能够进入实验室好好埋头做我的研究生,我总觉得对于我们这门靠实验和计算过活的专业来说,研究的意义非常深刻。
 
但现在,我感觉我又有一些倾向taught了,research如果只是MPhil,觉得还不如taught,但是如果是PhD,又觉得是不是读得太多了~~~
 
也许taught最多两年的计划可以就达到大家常说的那些“锻炼能力,开阔眼界”这些实质吧,如果这样,上两年课应该也没什么。况且我那个应该还是lab based programme呢~~~
