Yesterday we finished the translation test. We A-team united together and have reached our first short-term goal— the test. We hope strongly to keep united and achieve more, but it is impossible. Some of us have to leave coz of many reasons. I know clearly everyone has their own road and departing is inevitable, but it is still hard to face it easily. As a new graduate who has just experienced numerous departing with my intimate classmates in the last month, I have been allergic to departing. One of the reasons that I am searching for internship during summer holiday is trying to find a new group of friends – I am afraid of loneliness. A-team makes me vigorously out of the “graduating depression”, but now I have to face another separation with new friends. Life likes a child I think. It is too capricious and hard to control, even cruel sometimes. We are compelled to follow it and all complaints and reluctancy seem pale.

I remember the words by HUALI, that every morning we have rights to choose being happy or being sad in the whole day. Thus change the attitude if we could not change the fact. I just recollect the scentence in the inaugural address of John F. Kennedy: “we observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom -- symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning--signifying renewal, as well as change”. Life is too short for us to be sad. Departing means another get-together. I’m sure of it.

Good luck and best wishes to us – A-team.
