英语课程计划-Get Over It Day（在线收听）

Everyone has something in their life to get over. There is something bad that has happened to us all that we need to forget about and move on. Well, now there’s a day of the year to make sure this happens. March 9th is officially Get Over It Day. This is a fun holiday to encourage people to stop feeling sorry for themselves and move forward with their life. Get Over It Day started in 2005. There is even a website for you to write down what you want to get over. You click a button and the source of your misery goes up in virtual flames. Easy. The site tells you to “quit moping around like you just got snubbed at the Oscars and celebrate” on this day. You never know, this could just be the first day of the rest of your life!

There are many things in life we need to get over, to overcome, to defeat. People call them hurdles, setbacks, disasters, calamities or tragedies. The plain thing is life goes on and we need to deal with these things and live our life. The submissions on the Get Over It Day website are varied. There are many serious topics we can all relate to. These are things like “my Dad dying”, my cancer diagnosis” and “my engagement break-up”. There are also not-so-serious topics like “losing my mp3 player”, “my disastrous haircut” and “my team losing at the weekend”. Perhaps the last one here is in the serious category for some people. On March 9th, decide what it is you need to get over and get over it.
