Diary of a fresherSunday1 After a long drive from home, we arrive at my hall of residence, and I check in. The warden gives me a set of keys and a room number. It's five floors up, and the lift doesn't work. Finally, with my mother red in the face and short of breath, we find Room 8, I unlock the door, and we all walk in.2 After one minute, my father climbs out. The room is barely big enough for one, and certainly not big enough for the whole family. I can lie on the bed and touch three walls without moving a muscle.3 Lucky my brother and my dog didn't come too.4 Later. My parents have just left. I'm here alone, surrounded by my books and a suitcase. What do I do next?Monday5 There's a coffee morning for first year students. I meet my tutor, who is tall with round shoulders, and looks determined to be pleasant.6 "Have you come far?" he asks me. As he speaks, he moves his head from side to side, which makes his coffee spill into the saucer.7 "I live not far from Edinburgh, about six hours away," I explain.8 "Splendid!" he says, and moves on to the girl standing beside me. "Have you come far?" he asks, "splendid," he says, without waiting forthe answer, and moves on. He takes a sip of coffee, and looks surprised to find the cup is empty.9 My mother calls. She asks if I've met my tutor yet.Tuesday10 Am feeling a little hungry, and I realize I haven't eaten for two days. I go downstairs and find that I can have three meals a day in the dining hall. I go down and join a very long queue.11 "What's for breakfast?" I ask the boy in front of me.12 "Don't know. I was too late for breakfast. This is for lunch."13 It's self-service and today's menu includes chicken, rice, potatoes, salad, vegetables, cheese, yoghurt and fruit. The boy in front puts it all on his plate, pays for it, and goes to sit down.14 Not feeling very hungry any more.15 My mother calls. She asks if I'm eating proper meals.Wednesday16 I have a lecture at 9 am. I wake up at 8.45. No one has woken me. Strange.17 I get dressed, and rush over to the lecture hall. I sit down beside a girl who looks half asleep. She looks at me. "Just got up?" she asks. How can she tell?18 The lecture takes an hour, and at the end I look at my notes.

For me, everyday is a treasure that you'll always find something worth memorizing even though it's ordinary and slightly negative. Now the darkness is just approaching, I can see the sun go down slowly and finally vanish behind the horizon. You can never resist the coming steps of darkness, can you?

Diary of a fresher
Thursday Sunny
So today, when I wake up, I select a pretty black shirt with golden buttons. I'm wearing it as a greeting gesture to a brand new day. It seems that impressive appearance may bring you luck in the whole day. What's more, for the first time, I rush to the canteen to have a rich breakfast, representing the highest quality of the canteen, including porridge and dim sum, while I just have had something simple in my dorm for the last few days. After breakfast, I decide to wander on campus in order to find something interesting and get used to the place that I'm going to be connected with for such a long time.

The writer describes the first few days of university life in the diary with a casual, informal style full of humor and exaggeration. As a fresher, the writer has many problems: feeling lonely and lost, not having a good appetite for the food in the dining hall, feeling not as intelligent and knowledgeable as others; not knowing how to take notes and how to wash clothes. Besides, her dormitory looks very small. The tutor seems unfriendly and uncaring. The library rules are too strict.

新标准大学英语综合教程1Unit 1 Active Reading 1Diary of a fresher大一新生日记星期日从家里出发后，我们开车开了很长一段时间才到达我住的宿舍楼。

我进去登记。

宿舍管理员给了我一串钥匙，并告诉了我房间号。

我的房间在6楼，可电梯坏了。

等我们终于找到8号房的时候，妈妈已经涨红了脸，上气不接下气。

我打开门锁，我们都走了进去。

但爸爸马上就从里面钻了出来。

这个房间刚刚够一个人住，一家人都进去，肯定装不下。

我躺在床上，不动弹就可以碰到三面墙。

幸亏我哥哥和我的狗没一起来。

后来，爸爸妈妈就走了，只剩下我孤零零一个人。

周围只有书和一个箱子。

接下来我该做什么？星期一早上，有一个为一年级新生举办的咖啡早茶会。

我见到了我的导师，他个子高高的，肩膀厚实，好像打定了主意要逗人开心。

“你是从很远的地方来的吗？”他问我。

他边说话边晃悠脑袋，咖啡都洒到杯托里了。

“我家离爱丁堡不太远，开车大约6个小时，”我说。

“好极了！”他说，接着又走向站在我旁边的那个女孩儿。

“你是从很远的地方来的吗？”他问。

但不等那女孩儿作出任何回答，他就说到，“好极了！”然后就继续向前走。

他啜了一口咖啡，却惊讶地发现杯子是空的。

妈妈打来电话。

她问我是不是见到了导师。

星期二我觉得有点儿饿，这才意识到我已经两天没吃东西了。

我下楼去，得知一天三餐我可以在餐厅里吃。

我下到餐厅排进了长队。

“早餐吃什么？”我问前面的男生。

“不知道。

我来得太晚了，吃不上早餐了。

这是午餐。

”午餐是自助餐，今天的菜谱是鸡肉、米饭、土豆、沙拉、蔬菜、奶酪、酸奶和水果。

前面的男生每样儿都取一些放到托盘上，付了钱，坐下来吃。

我再也不觉得饿了。

妈妈打电话来。

她问我有没有好好吃饭。

星期三早上9点钟我要去听一个讲座。

我醒时已经8:45了。

竟然没有人叫我起床。

奇怪。

我穿好衣服，急匆匆地赶到大讲堂。

我在一个睡眼惺忪的女生旁边坐下。

她看了看我，问：“刚起床？”她是怎么看出来的？讲座进行了1个小时。

I can stretch out full-length on the bed and touch three walls without moving a muscle.Lucky my brother and my dog didn't come too.Later. My parents have just left. I'm here alone, hemmed in by my books and a suitcase. What do I do next?There's a coffee morning for first-year students. I meet my tutor, a lofty man with sloping shoulders, who looks determined to be affable."Have you come far?" he peers down at me. As he speaks, his head jerks wildly from side to side, which makes his coffee spill into the saucer."I live not far from Edinburgh, about six hours away," I explain."Splendid!" he says, and moves on to the freshman standing beside me. "Have you come far?" he asks, "splendid," he barks, without waiting for the answer, and moves on. He takes a sip of coffee, and looks thunderstruck to discover the cup is empty.My mother calls. She enquires if I've met my tutor yet.Am feeling a bit puckish, and it occurs to me that I haven't eaten for two days. I go downstairs and stumble across the dining hall, where I can have three meals a day. I go down and join a lengthy file of people winding its way out into the open."What's for breakfast?" I ask the guy in front of me."No idea. I was too late for breakfast. This is for lunch."It's self-service and today's menu includes chicken, rice, potatoes, salad, vegetables, cheese, yoghurt and fruit. The boy in front piles it all onto his plate, pays for it, and goes to sit down. I seem to have lost my appetite.My mother calls. She asks if I'm eating proper meals.I have a lecture at 9 am. I wake up at 8.45. No one has woken me. Weird.I pull on some clothes, and dash over to the lecture hall. I sit down beside a girl who looks half asleep. She inspects me. "Just got up?" she asks. How can she tell? The lecture takes an hour, and at the end I look at my notes. I can't read my handwriting.The girl's name is Sophie and she's an English literature major, like me. She looks frighteningly intelligent, and when we chat after the lecture, she tells me she read the whole of this term's reading list during her gap year. She’s a bit impresses, and I feel so ignorant…I don’t even think I should breathe the same air as her. Mum calls. She asks if I slept OK.It's the Freshers' Fair today, and Sophie and I go along to see how many clubs we can join. We concur that we want to make a lot of friends, so I sign up for ballroom dancing, the Artificial Intelligence Society, bell- ringing and the Extreme Sports Club. Sophie signs up for Amateur Dramatics and the Mozart choir. I wonder if Sophie and I are going to stay buddies.Mum calls. My brother has tried to rent out my bedroom back home. Mum reassures me that it's mine for as long as I need it, that it's my home and that they miss me very much, especially the dog. I burst into tears.In the morning, I go to the library. But it seems I need some from of identification and I don’t have an ID card yet. For some reason, I also have to swear that I won't damage the books or break the library rules, and if I do, I'll be sent to prison. (What!? For speaking too loudly?) It seems that it's a very old library, and the university is inordinately proud of it.Tonight is Club night at the Students’ Union, but I've run out of clean clothes. I'm not sure what happens to my dirty clothes after putting them in the clothes basket and before finding them clean, ironed and folded in my wardrobe. Maybe Mum will call soon.1.我们从家里坐车出发，经过一番疲惫不堪的长途跋涉，终于到达了我的住所，我办理了入住手续。
