I am Evelyn Lu , an IMBA student in Renmin University of China. The year of 2020 is a harsh and challenging time for all of us, as some people are forced to change their life plan ,some continue their career and find new opportunity,and some are still very indecisive in how to choose the life path. Change and choice become the common words, and attitude to the world or event begin the precondition.
Looking back on the days of the past more than half of a year, I have had complex feelings, unexpected shock and pleasantly surprise, little of sadness and emotion touched by many things.
I came back my hometown on January 20, waiting for the celebrated New Year days and preparing with full passion to study my IELTS exam. Later then the Coronavirus 19 was coming, as you all know , and has not left. So then in the second half of February, we started our virtual classes. From Monday to Sunday, we were used to having classes in the evening in finally. From this new way of learning, we found a good way for in-class communication, as well as for case discussion and group assignment. The epidemic did not stop our enthusiasm for the courses, the days were tense and full. We seemed to be linked together from all over the world through everyone's computer. Since July, our courses have been finished one after another. At most, the ending of one course means one more report and thesis to be written.
Our anticipation changes from returning to school in this semester to the beginning of next semester. We still have good wish to IMBA life ,since we just study together for poor half of year in our class. The thesis writing class let me feel the coming graduation, although we still have one year to graduate, But now I can feel the sense of that time.I even discussed with my foreign buddy about our graduation ceremony.
August was our summer vacation, even though we were still at home those days. I made a good study plan, but all kinds of Enterprise Recruitment Information disrupted my thinking; the deterioration of relations between China and US. made me worry about the study abroad plan for next year; my lazy home life made me break the strict learning plan, and even stopped implementation in the last point. I wasted my good times of August.
Recently, I just reflected that my inner entanglement, hesitation and confusion come from my lack of confidence I am eager to have a good expectation for myself, but the real life also should be considered. Many friends encouraged me to continue to adhere to the plan of studying abroad, while some teachers advised me that it is not a good time to study in the United States at present.
This epidemic situation became better, and this semester's virtual teaching finally ended. Winter was gone, followed by spring, summer is over, and autumn is coming.
Time flies , in the past days, I have tried the first whole virtual course the first time in history, have postponed my IELTS exam for many times, completed the first 70km in three days in online Asian desert competition, read my books on my bookshelf even just turned over several pages, realized my shortcomings when with my family, celebrated my birthday with my classmate together in wechat group, applied for SNOC courses in Yale, learned my strategic consulting course of Hejun, participated in the SYSBS-IVEY case competition, host our class activities for my first time, served as the coach in the business simulation competition, and participated in the career development forum activities…
For me, the spring of this year will start in September！ The IELTS exam, which has been cancelled by the official website, can finally be held. From the winter vacation to the summer vacation, the campus finally be opened for us. Asian Desert Adventure Introduction of MBA ,which I have been looking forward to for many years, be delayed ,and now I can finally continue training running. The original life plan, I think, will be realized in the daily practice, I believe that no matter which path I choose, the good will always come one day.
This article maybe just a summary of my half a year's study and life. I hope to make up for the lost time, and cherish the IMBA campus time in future time of this year~
我是人大一名IMBA同学，2020年对于我们是充满困难和挑战的一年，有些人被迫改变了自己的人生计划，有些人坚定了自己的职业方向并找到新的机会，有些人则是对如何选择人生路犹豫不决。改变，选择成为常用词，对世界和突如的事件的态度却成为你的先决条件。
回想这半年多的日子，既怀有意外，也怀有惊喜，既有伤感，也有感动。
我在1月20号回到老家，等待庆祝春节和踌躇满志地准备雅思，随后是疫情爆发，一直到现在还未消停。在2月下旬，我们开始上网课。学习日程被安排的满满当当的，从周一到周日，我们习惯了晚上上课，也从这种新的学习方式里，找到课堂互动，案例讨论，小组作业的良好沟通方式。疫情并没有阻止我们对课程的热情，日子在紧张地过着，也很充实。我们像是通过每一个电脑从世界各地链接到了一起。从7月份开始，我们的课程陆续结课了，最多的只是一门课程的结束意味着又多了一份报告论文要写。
我们从期待返回学校到期待下学期的开始。我们的愿望依旧，因为我们才在一起上了半年的课啊。论文写作课让我感受到即将到来的毕业，虽然还有一年我们才毕业，但是现在已经可以嗅到那时候的气息。
8月份算是我们的暑假了，尽管我们一直在自己家里。我做好了学习计划，但是各种企业招聘信息打乱了我的思路；中美关系的恶化使得我担心明年的学习计划，慵懒的居家生活使得我打破了严格的学习计划，甚至最后一点都不再实施了。我感觉我浪费了8月份的美好时光。
最近我才反应过来，我这个月的纠结，徘徊，迷茫，是来自于对自己的不自信。 我渴望着美好的的期许，但是现实生活同样需要我去考虑。很多朋友鼓励我继续坚持留学的计划，也有老师劝导我目前留学不是很好的时机。最后，我终于想清楚，有选择比没有选择更好，目前的一切迷茫都是无价值的多虑。我应该做好自己手头的事情，我应该关心自己的学习，能力，而不是哪个选择，以及结果。
疫情好转，网课结束，冬去春来，夏消秋进。
时间消逝，这半年，我们尝试了有史以来的全程网课，雅思屡次报名被取消，亚洲沙漠挑战赛人大取消参赛，但是却在线完成了人生第一个3天70公里，书架上的书终于被翻了几页，最长的寒假也让我在与家人的相处中认识到自己的不足，第一次与同学一起群内庆生，我申请了SNOC课程在Yale的课程，继续学习着和君战略思维课程，参与了SYSBS-IVEY案例比赛，人生第一次做主持人主持了班级活动，担任了商战模拟大赛的教练，参与了职业发展论坛活动…
对于我，今年的春天是从九月开始！一直被官网取消的雅思考试也终于可以举行，从寒假到暑假的人大校园也终于可以为我们打开，被耽误的亚沙赛，我期盼了很多年，也终于可以继续训练。原来的人生计划，我想都将会在每天的践行中实现，相信如何选择哪条道路，该有的美好总有一天会到来。
这篇算是自己半年学习生活的总结，希望下半年将耽误的时光补回来，好好珍惜IMBA校园时光~
