Grey's Anatomy and Bound Feet and Western Suit

I have read Bound Feet and Western Suit. It is a great book. We all love Mr. She's poems. He studied in Britain and America, in the famous university Cambridge. He made friends with famous novelists, poets, thinkers, and always wanted to get out of an arranged marriage. He and his wife had two sons, one of them died when he was a baby. He had ignored the love of his wife and her life. She wanted to study, but he never gave her a chance. After the divorce, she learned English and came back to China to become the vice chairperson of Shanghai Women Bank. Her determination, her knowledge in Eastern and Western cultures made her a strong woman. She has never forgotten her parent's advice about marriage. She became the god-daughter of her ex-husband's parents. She took care of her son. She wrote to her son before remarrying to ask for his permission. Feminists movement just after the old empire fell to the present time is portrayed in this book, and the problems women face had never truly changed. Family, love and education shape all humans, but women in China had not been given the equal opportunity as men. "Women without education is her virtue." is an old Chinese saying, but they have ignored the fact that without education, she cannot educate her sons and daughters properly. Without proper education, she does not know right from wrong. Without education, she cannot communicate with other people effectively in a foreign country and is isolated from her husband and his friends. Women nowadays face similar dilema. Is having a family more important than having a career? Who should we choose as our future mate? What to do when someone makes fun of you because you are different? It is not her fault that Mr. She wanted a divorce, but inevitably she was blamed. Can women be happy without marriage and children? It is society's responsibility, and the responsibility of us to make life easier on both men and women. This book has given me an insight into a woman's life, who was not afraid to change and is always wanting to learn more about the ever changing world.
Grey's Anatomy is a great drama that has started last night. Meredith Grey has spent a night with Derek Shepard. She sent him on his way when she drives into Seatle Grace Hospital to start her first shift as a resident surgeon. Christina, Isabel and George are on the same team under "Nazi", a doctor who has five rules. In this 48 hr, George has performed his first appendictomy and became 007 with licence to kill. Isabel has examined 47 rectums and couldn't eat lunch. She didn't know how to make a central line and always has questions to ask. Christina wanted to get some actions in the surgery, but Meredith thought up what the beauty queen's problem was so she got the chance to do a brain surgery. The beauty queen had a brain aneurysm in her brain.
It is a great drama. Apart from the fact that all the characters look cute and young, medical drama always holds the appeal because it is about people. It is about the extreme emotion that you feel in the hospital, now the fact that the doctors are new also adds the stress factor. They don't know what they have to do, and are afraid to ask questions. They know what they have to do, but are too stressed to do it properly. You learn about it in the medical school, but it is never the same in the real life situation. That's what make Grey's Anatomy great, and I am sure that is why people are hooked on to this new drama.
Desperate Housewives will come soon. I am looking forward to watching it.
The results from the experiment today is bad because they have all been contaminated. I will have to grow bacteria this afternoon before I go home so tomorrow I will be able to repeat everything. Maybe I should do that next week so I can count the plates straight away. This week I have got two sets of good results so I am not too worried right now. Hopefully I will get more good results next week.
Sent M the invitation to A Night Out with the Stars. I cut out a music score and stick it at the front of the card, and put it in a large envelope that will not fit into his mailbox. >_< With some struggle I have finally put it firmly into his mailbox and quickly retreat back to my car and came up to university. It's all good. Fingers crossed that he will say yes.
