Hi you the anonymous,

How is everything going these days? Do you stay safe during the global pandemics of COVID-19?

You must have known the little pretty plum blossoms hanging overhead have received their deserved attention. It is the first month of spring and flowers break out the buds in haste, proving the old saying “spring is green with flowers and songs”. They appeared in a sudden, like the regular daily rain in London that pours down suddenly but you can predict it because it is bound to be there.

Now, let’s admire the incredible flowers blooming after a tough winter. Photos credits to Mr. Yao Hailong.

Last week, when playing football on the pitch, I hurt my toenail because of careless changing speed and direction. A weird pain stimulated my nerve from that very moment on and just immediately the nails of both of my big toes turned congested and swelled with subtle pain. At the very beginning, it’s merely an uncommon feeling like you got a ball of paper squeezed in your badly-fit tight shoes, but it got worse like a cascade because I didn’t request a substitution and still ran for a marvelous dribbling and goal before the final whistle.

As expected, I became “disabled” temporarily in the following few days. To be honest, it was not my first time to have my toes congested by stupid changing speed and direction, but it was the most painful one that even one week later the swelling still existed. According to my observation, I will never get rid of that odd feeling providing if my toenails don’t drop. I reached a fork of the road, or a dilemma, that if I neglected the nails they would keep hurting for a few weeks, otherwise, meaning to cut or pull the whole nails down, I had to deal with the potential microbe infection and inflammation. Ultimately, I decided to surrender to the microbe in view of their unpredictability and vitality. After all, even the experts in microbiology would consider it tricky to deal with the skin microbe like Malassezia and P. acnes on my face, how can an undergraduate prevent them from dwelling on my warm and nutritious toes without any drugs and antibiotics?

I would like to sincerely express my gratitude to miss🐏, for her fervently offering assistance on the compulsive running required by the university when my toe’s swelled. Oops I have no idea whether she keep an eye on my pages, and even when she does, don’t know whether she will notice this single paragraph or not. Although I eventually rejected her help because I did really feel down and sealed off myself in a sorrow of both foot hurt and bad exam results announced in those days. Yes, I admit I do fail her kindness. Hence, actions must be taken to compensate it, though not quite sure what to do yet because I owe a lot of favors to her besides. If she’s looking through this page, she’d better figure out some solid compensation that could entirely meet her desire and imply those stuffs to me jajajajajajaja.

Please let alone those upset past stories, after all, spring should be vivid and lively. Do you know the spring of XJTU is famous with its cherry blossoms along the path, just like the golden fallen leaves symbolizing the autumn of XJTU? It is their turn to bloom next few weeks, I figure. I really can’t wait to see that scene because I, unfortunately, missed past two springs in XJTU due to either lockdown or oversea exchange. Therefore, wherever you are, would you like to spare a few time being a XJTU wanderer with me to enjoy those pink petals floating in the air?

Wish you all the best in these days.

Cheers,

Weiping
