Jiu Jie

There is a well-liked word in Chinese among us students--jiu jie. The original usage of the word is to describe that the string is in tangle. However, now jiu jie simply means that you are rather confused by the situation and are in great perplexity. (It can be used as a verb or an adjective.) Just to let you know how to use it, here is an example: I am jiujieing my blog because it is very jiu jie.

Actually, I was quite jiu jie this Friday night. It was my first time to be a little late for coming back Eton Hall. The gate was locked. What went from bad to worse was that my friend had already helped me sign in, which was also not allowed. Therefore, if I asked our security guards to open the gate for me, he would surely let me sign in on the notebook and could find out somebody had done it for me.

As I was jiujieing outside the gate, one of the two guards who was an accommodating lady, came to me. She secretly opened the gate and even comforted me by whispering "Do not wait in the dark. Just come in. Nobody is going to blame you..." I was so happy and grateful. However, more was to come. The other guard suddenly appeared when I was on my first step going upstairs. He asked me to sign in first. !!!!!!!!!! What could I do ? The only thing I could do was to lie to him that I forgot to sign out, otherwise my friend would be "incriminated". Unexpectedly, the excuse provoked his sudden anger.

"Come! Let's go to aunty's office!" he said.

Helplessly, going to aunty's office indicated that copying the handbook(as punishment) was just around the corner. At this time, one of my friends who happened to be on the scene began to intercede with the guard for me. No fruit. I waited outside aunty's office with inexplicable anxiety. A few minutes later, the guard came out of the office and told me aunty was too busy.!!!!!!!!!! How lucky~~~ However, he never gave it up and took out another notebook to put my name down. (Believe or not, my friend who tried to help me out was also unfairly registered.) I could not figure out why the next day it was so hard for me to look the guard square in the eye.

I always respected people who stick to the principle, but when it came to something closely related to my own profit, I tended to be slightly jiu jie. The guard was rigorous and stern. On the other hand, he was responsible and conscientious, his duty done.

This was not the only thing that jiu jies me. My feelings are always in conflict with each other and different thoughts keep flashing through my mind:
No.1which major on earth should I choose? The one I am good at is the one I dislike and the one I like is the most challenging one.
No.2I exercise by walking back everyday, but I am afraid that my skin will be tanned after weeks. Maybe I can run with Junfei, Yingzi and Liusi after sunset, but then I will eat too much and too late after sports and cannot concentrate on my study.
No.3Is it the time I must plan my future career like many other ambitious girls or I can just do things at will since they are already destined? If I should have a blueprint of my future, then which major...

I hope that I can settle down all these jiu jie problems soon.

People like me are never drained of emotion, and the current trend towards expressing our emotion is leading to a highly amused and vivid level. You see, jiu jie is the most exact word to describe my recent life, and the hottest word as well.
