Today is WW's birthday. We have lost contact for over 5 years. I don't know how is she now. She said she was suffering from serious Major Depression Disorder. Shortly after that, I completely lost contact with her. I asked several of our shared friends, but no one knew anything about her. I had gone to her home, talked with her parents, stepped into her own room and observed nothing unusual. That was my last effort to find her. Though I used to see her in my dreams, WW disappeared from my life. I don't know if I would have a chance to see her again within my life. She is my best friend forever no matter what happens.

Now I am in my office, which is really rare. A special team was sent to our newsroom to check the safety about our work. We are requested to sit in the office the whole week, waiting for their summons. Actually, it's not a rigid rule which could not be treated flexibly, yet LH ordered us to do so. Meanwhile, he is on his way of a so-called business trip which is mainly for fun.

Stone is recovering. His temperature decreased last night, though he is still weak. Donkey insisted to bring him to hospital yesterday afternoon but was stopped by me. I asked for help from Yuki and Yangying, they are doctors and have kids the same age of Stone. They never brought their kids to hospital when they had got a fever. Donkey was ultimately persuaded by their choices. I am disappointed about him. He cares little about Stone. 

I did nothing but wasted a whole morning sitting in the office. CHIESS rejected my application for the second time just then. I have to make clear why and submit again and wait. I don't know when I could accomplish my verification, if it will meet the deadline of the Medill's application.

Patience, I need patience. All these are trials for me. It is always particularly dark before dawn.
