faculty, family, friends, and fellow graduates, good evening.
i am honored to address you tonight. on behalf of the graduating masters and doctoral students of washington university's school of engineering and applied science, i would like to thank all the parents, spouses, families, and friends who encouraged and supported us as we worked towards our graduate degrees. i would especially like to thank my own family, eight members of which are in the audience today. i would also like to thank all of the department secretaries and other engineering school staff members who always seemed to be there when confused graduate students needed help. and finally i would like to thank the washington university faculty members who served as our instructors, mentors, and friends.
as i think back on the seven-and-a-half years i spent at washington university, my mind is filled with memories, happy, sad, frustrating, and even humorous.
tonight i would like to share with you some of the memories that i take with me as i leave washington university.
i take with me the memory of my office on the fourth floor of lopata hall - the room at the end of the hallway that was too hot in summer, too cold in winter, and always too far away from the women's restroom. the window was my office's best feature. were it not for the physics building across the way, it would have afforded me a clear view of the arch. but instead i got a view of the roof of the physics building. i also had a view of one corner of the roof of urbauer hall, which seemed to be a favorite perch for various species of birds who alternately won perching rights for several weeks at a time. and i had a nice view of the physics courtyard, noteworthy as a good place for watching people run their dogs. it's amazing how fascinating these views became the longer i worked on my dissertation. but my favorite view was of a nearby oak tree. from my fourth-floor vantage point i had a rather intimate view of the tree and the various birds and squirrels that inhabit it. occasionally a bird would land on my window sill, which usually had the effect of startling both of us.
i take with me the memory of two young professors who passed away while i was a graduate student. anne johnstone, the only female professor from whom i took a course in the engineering school, and bob durr, a political science professor and a member of my dissertation committee, both lost brave battles with cancer. i remember them fondly.
i take with me the memory of failing the first exam in one of the first engineering courses i took as an undergraduate. i remember thinking the course was just too hard for me and that i would never be able to pass it. so i went to talk to the professor, ready to drop the class. and he told me not to give up, he told me i could succeed in his class. for reasons that seemed completely ludicrous at the time, he said he had faith in me. and after that my grades in the class slowly improved, and i ended the semester with an a on the final exam. i remember how motivational it was to know that someone believed in me.
(1)(2)(3)
i take with me memories of the midwestern friendliness that so surprised me when i arrived in st. louis 8 years ago. since moving to new jersey, i am sad to say, nobody has asked me where i went to high school.
i take with me the memory of the short-lived computer science graduate student social committee lunches. the idea was that groups of cs grad students were supposed to take turns cooking a monthly lunch. but after one grad student prepared a pot of chicken that poisoned almost the entire cs grad student population and one unlucky faculty member in one fell swoop, there wasn't much enthusiasm for having more lunches.
i take with me the memory of a more successful graduate student effort, the establishment of the association of graduate engineering students, known as ages. started by a handful of engineering graduate students because we needed a way to elect representatives to a campus-wide graduate student government, ages soon grew into an organization that now sponsors a wide variety of activities and has been instrumental in addressing a number of engineering graduate student concerns.
i take with me the memory of an engineering and policy department that once had flourishing programs for full-time undergraduate, masters, and doctoral students.
i take with me memories of the 1992 u.s. presidential debate. eager to get involved in all the excitement i volunteered to help wherever needed. i remember spending several days in the makeshift debate hq giving out-of-town reporters directions to the athletic complex. i remember being thrilled to get assigned the job of collecting film from the photographers in the debate hall during the debate. and i remember the disappointment of drawing the shortest straw among the student volunteers and being the one who
had to take the film out of the debate hall and down to the dark room five minutes into the debate - with no chance to re-enter the debate hall after i left.i take with me memories of university holidays which never seemed to apply to graduate students. i remember spending many a fall break and president's day holiday with my fellow grad students in all day meetings brought to us by the computer science department.
i take with me memories of exams that seemed designed more to test endurance and perseverance than mastery of the subject matter. i managed to escape taking any classes that featured infamous 24-hour-take-home exams, but remember the suffering of my less fortunate colleagues. and what doctoral student could forget the pain and suffering one must endure to survive the qualifying exams?
「 1」 「 2」 「 3」
i take with me the memory of the seven-minute rule, which always seemed to be an acceptable excuse for being ten minutes late for anything on campus, but which doesn't seem to apply anywhere else i go.
i take with me the memory of friday afternoon acm happy hours, known not for kegs of beer, but rather bowls of rainbow sherbet punch. over the several years that i attended these happy hours they enjoyed varying degrees of popularity, often proportional to the quality and quantity of the accompanying refreshments - but there was always the rainbow sherbert punch.
i take with me memories of purple parking permits, the west campus shuttle, checking my pendaflex, over-due library books, trying to print from cec, lunches on delmar, friends who slept in their offices, miniature golf in lopata hall, the greenway talk, division iii basketball, and trying to convince dean russel that yet another engineering school rule should be changed.
finally, i would like to conclude, not with a memory, but with some advice. what would a graduation speech be without a little advice, right? anyway, this advice comes in the form of a verse delivered to the 1977 graduating class of lake forest college by theodore seuss geisel, better known to the world as dr. seuss - here's how it goes:
my uncle ordered popovers
from the restaurant's bill of fare.
and when they were served,
he regarded them
with a penetrating stare . . .
then he spoke great words of wisdom
as he sat there on that chair:
"to eat these things,"
said my uncle,
"you must excercise great care.
you may swallow down what's solid . . .
but . . .
you must spit out the air!"
and . . .
as you partake of the world's bill of fare,
that's darned good advice to follow.
do a lot of spitting out the hot air.
and be careful what you swallow.
thank you.
(1)(2)(3)我的大学毕业总结
转眼大学四年的生活就要结束了，走在校园里看着熟悉的财经楼、大学生广场、篮球场、图书馆，不到一个月就要离开这个熟悉的环境，此时的我心潮澎湃、热血沸腾、浮想联翩。
毕业，在我看来，是一种解脱，但同时更是一种折磨。这是一种二律背反，难以条分缕析，即便是费尽唇舌，也难以一语中的，给出一个令自身满意的毕业时的心情结论。但有一点是毋庸置疑的，只有身处其中的人才能领会其中的酸甜苦辣，没有亲身经历的人很难有感同身受的体会：毕业，就意味着离别，更意味着选择，也意味着责任，还有其他难以预料的很多因为毕业，就要马上离开熟悉的环境适应陌生的城市;因为毕业，就要开始领会生活的艰辛，面对繁杂的关系和莫测的人情;因为毕业，就要感悟离别的痛楚，与昔日的同窗分道扬镳。
总的说来，四年的大学生活，是我人生里最重要的四年，收获最多的四年，我想它肯定是最让我回味的时光，现在对我的大学四年进行总结。说是总结，谈一下感受而已。
大一，自由。
XX年9月我考进了湖北民族学院，专业是会计学，9月11日，我终于是一个人离开了家乡到学校报到，心中满是自由的喜悦，大学的生活果然跟高中的三点式不一样。大学里到处都是自由的空气。
1、美化寝室大赛。
大一开学不久，学校就开始举办美化寝室大赛，当时我们住在十四栋，大赛动员后我们几个男人就开始准备了，首先是参观高年级的学生寝室，看看他们是怎样装扮自己的家，参观后，我们就开始了我们的“室内设计”：美化生活空间，展示文明风采，寝室的室友们热情极高，田文超寝室长带领大个，wait等几人到舞阳坝买回来了剪刀，装饰纸，等等。回来后我们就干开了，很随意的设计却体现了我们寝室的文化与水平，顿时寝室洁白的墙壁和天花板让我们设计得浪漫非凡，只见天花板上一个巨大的丘比特神箭直射入同样一个巨大的心字，门上大扁变成了“腾龙阁”，我们现在早已搬到了十一栋，不知道那十四栋的“腾龙阁”三个字还在不在，虽然最终我们寝室只是评了个三等奖，但是我们大家都很开心，并在其中感到了纯洁的友谊与自由。现在想来，我们是肯定没有那激情了。
2、学吉他。
还在中学时受到当时老狼校园民谣的影响，对吉他那个神秘得可以发出很好听的声音的东西产生了浓厚的兴趣，中学紧张的学习生活一直无法让我拥有一把。大学来了，好!机会来了，学校有吉他协会，我报名参加了，国庆的时候我给自己买了一把吉他和自学教材，并参加了吉他协会的培训班，每个星期天的下午，财经楼的一间教室唧唧喳喳的声音，就是我们在学谱弹琴，由于当时我强烈的爱好，进步很快，不到一个月，我已经可以边弹边唱了，以后的日子我就是没有课了，就拿出它来把玩。“那天,黄昏,开始飘起了白雪,忧伤,开满山岗,等青春散场,午夜的电影,写满古老的恋情,在黑暗中,为年轻歌唱。”老狼的《恋恋风尘》至今还在耳边回响。做自己想做的事，就是自由，那时的我感觉非常充实非常自由，当然也非常的快乐。现在回想起来还是觉得当初很惬意，尽管现在早没有的弹吉他的兴趣。
大二，迷茫。
大一快乐的生活很快就结束了，一转眼就是大二了，人到大二，对学校对同学也都熟悉了，没了大一的鲜艳的感觉了，对学校，对社会有了牢骚，我也开始迷茫了，英语成绩自认为不是很好，学习非常的认真，想把英语赶起来，但在大一结束时还是难逃厄运，一不小心英语被挂了彩，心中满是后悔自己为什么不好好争争气。但已是悔之晚矣，重修，两百块啊，同学们，就这样打了水漂。
《1》《2》《3》《4》
3、逃课。
关于逃课，我想但凡是个大学生就有过这经历，只不过每个人逃课的次数，逃课的理由，逃课的说辞不同罢了。我大一的时候很乖，什么课都不逃，还天天去做早操。高年级的学友经常给我们灌输象什么“选修课必逃，必修课选逃”等不良思想，看着逃课的同学甚是佩服，心想他们真勇敢，居然逃课，就不怕被逮着挨批评吗?每逃课回来之后，他们就开始讲述逃课以后的经历，诸如打cs，砍传奇，泡妹妹，吃火锅等等，说的时候眉飞色舞，唾沫乱喷，好不幸福的样子。这些都让我对逃课十分向往。大二时，由于我们的英语老师是刚刚外语系毕业的学生，上课的时候经常买棒棒糖我们吃，跟我们一样学生味十分浓，于是我选择了在英语课上实现我逃课的梦想，不过那时候内心十分痛苦，因为我觉得英语老师挺漂亮的，就这么逃了实在是有付红颜。不过最终我还是选择了弃她而去，逃跑了。到外面的街上乱转悠，也不知道该干点什么好，就是很兴奋，心里直感叹，外面的人要比教室的人多多了，外面的阳光要比教室的灯光舒服多了。后来是早操也不要求做了，逃课也多了起来。
4、谈恋爱。
是不是人一到了大二就开始了谈恋爱的选修课，不管你谈不谈，即实质上有没有女朋友，总有那么些风言风语调侃一下。可惜的是，我没有女朋友，这也是我大学的最大的遗憾了，还好的是，我没有因为没有女朋友而不快乐。这时候班级的组织活动，都是平平常常的就过去了，没有了大一的那种激情了，也没有什么的深刻印象。寝室的室友也好象有几个是在这个时候有了女朋友，尽管我的室友有的有了女朋友，但是我们寝室的还是一呼百应，参加寝室集体的活动积极，只能怪我们寝室有深厚的感情了，即使是女朋友也不能阻挡我们阶级友爱，后来，我们搬了寝室，我们12人仍然选择同住一个集体。
5、喝酒。
大二学会了喝酒，其实喝酒没有什么学不学的，只是大二，我的印象就是以我们寝室为单位喝了很多次酒，拿了奖学金有酒喝，四级pass了有酒喝，同学生日有酒喝，班级聚会有酒喝，喝酒的时候求得片刻麻醉，忘掉所有。记得在香香飘，酒桌上我们觥杯交错，发泄着我们的年轻。大家拿着蛋糕，脸上，鼻子上全是乳白色的牛奶，大家吵着闹着，演示着青春的悸动。
大三，学习。
人总是要学习进步的,人到了大三，对学校，对社会的满腹牢骚变成改变自己，改变命运，这时候的我喜欢趴在图书馆， 一闷就是一天，上课也积极了许多，主动跟着老师的思维转动，课本也认真的去看，弄懂了才是自己的，这段时间同学们也多是注重学习了，搞得太少的几个逃课的人也找不到同战斗的同党，只好乖乖的去上课，大三的课程也是最重的，没有其他的时间了。
6、cpa
大三的时候，全班有80%的人报考了注会考试，注会考试俗称“魔鬼”考试，可想而之考试的难度和及格率的低，但再难再低每年都有人过关。过关的人付出的辛苦得到了回报，没过关的人付出的艰辛不比过关的人少，可却得不到回报，那种感觉真的很痛很无奈。记得那个夏天，考研的几个同学与我们考注会的同学全部在3302，教室里总是很安静，同学们都埋着头在备考，清晨，是朗朗的英语读书声，晚上，是同学们讨论的声音，大家把关于学习上的讨论总是安排在晚上，互相学习，互相请教。学习氛围很浓，态度也是真诚。虽然最后的战绩我们都很差，但是，那种学习的认真的态度，那个暑假的3202教室总是让我追忆。
7、模拟实习
进入大三不久，一年一度的会计模拟实习就开始了，记得那个政法楼6楼的模拟法庭变成了热闹非凡的“中原机械厂财务部门”60个会计在为中原机械厂处理一年的帐务，原始凭证审核，计帐凭证的填制，审核，过帐，登帐，成本核算，科目汇总表，直到最后生成三大会计报表，同学们都干得不亦乐乎，四个周的时间很快就过去了，收获的接触实际自己动手能力，是分析问题处理问题的能力，是正式上岗前的“军事演习”，是大学专业知识查漏补缺。
8、financial accounting
大三学年经过一年的西方会计的学习，financial accounting介绍了大量的会计基础知识，例如会计的各种常用名词，会计日常记账的概念、方法，三大财务报表的分类及数据分析方法等，其中许多内容对于后续课程的理解是十分重要的，虽然会计原理，会计知识我们多是知道，但是financial accounting是全英文的而且些会计处理，经常会遇到些英文生词，而且中西方并不完全相同，因此学好这一部分需要我们必须做到认真听讲。 financial accounting 是聂海涛老师教的，他很认真负责，学习要求也相对较严些，这些都使我们受益匪浅，因为在后来的大四的所实习的一家深圳的会计师事务所工作时，一家客户要求审计时提供的是外文报表，幸亏这些报表在financial accounting 见得多了，做起来还算不是非常难。
毕业了,呵呵,行程可才刚刚开始
大四，思考
进入大四的最重要的两个内容，我认为就是写学士论文和毕业实习了，一个是对大学四年的专业总结，一个是对离开学校甩开课本独立挑战社会的准备，一个是总结过去，一个是展望未来。“播下一种思想，收获一种行为;播下一种行为，收获一种习惯;播下一种习惯，收获一种性格;播下一种性格，收获一种命运。”很好地诠释了思想与命运之间的互动关系。我现在越来越清晰的明白一个道理,就是很多问题是根本没有答案的，答案是什么已经不重要,重要的是have a good question.
9、学士论文
我们老师跟我们讲，学士论文是合格的本科毕业生撰写的论文。毕业论文应反映出作者能够准确地掌握大学阶段所学的专业基础知识，基本学会综合运用所学知识进行科学研究的方法，对所研究的题目有一定的心得体会，论文题目的范围不宜过宽，一般选择本学科某一重要问题的一个侧面或一个难点，选择题目还应避免过小、过旧和过长。要写一万字的学士论文还真不是件简单的活，所谓“书到用时方恨少”，是指一个人读的书太少，所以到要用的时候就感到江郎才尽，到了我写论文时才实实在在的体会到了它的深刻含义。我选择的论文题目是“股票股利会计政策研究”这一篇论文从选择课题到开题报告，从收集资料到确定论点找论据，从写提纲到出初稿，从反复修改到最后定稿，从多次的找指导老师请教到论文答辩，没有哪一个过程是轻松的，也没有哪一个过程是简单的。写论文我的最后的感受是，使出浑身解数，运用十八般武艺才终于弄出点“研究成果”。我想我们做了毕业论文的目的并不是在于论文做出后你有一个什么样的结果，而最重要的是在整个论文的写作中对我们的所学与所想进行一个必要的归纳与总结。
10、毕业实习
「 1」 「 2」 「 3」 「 4」
XX年2月到XX年5月我在深圳市中洲会计师事务所有限公司实习，两个多月的实习生活让我有了非常多的心得与体会，这些我在实习报告里做了总结，这里我只说两点。一是作为一名实习人员最好的学习其实就是工作。二是实习最大的感受是扑面而来的巨大的压力。工作时间长与累是我从未体会过的，所有的年度审计都在年初的四个月里做完，每个夜晚，大楼的保安都会亲临我们的办公室1407，让我们登记人数，直到后来连他们都变得对我们熟悉而麻木了，因为我们永远是最后离开大楼的一群人，天天如此。但也不仅仅是工作时间长那么简单，别以为时间拖的长就可以降低工作的密度和效率。在这么长的时间内都是密密麻麻的工作在等着你。所以，工作效率是最重要的。我很佩服在深圳的那些事务所里做的人他们从不是闷着头在那里苦做个不停，人家一做起来速度麻利的不行，但是会不时的放松自己，这样，效率也更高，经常超额完成任务。我想，这才是professional的表现呢。所以说，如何调整自己能适应事务所里这样大负荷工作量的挑战，才是最关键的。
