227. The unrestricted universe漫无边际的宇宙 unique-unwieldy
The universe is unmatched in its intricacies. Each planet, each star is unique. Though our universe seems anything but unpredictable, with revolutions of planets and comets accurately predicted, there are still many secrets to unravel. Due to my love of astronomy and mathematics, I had a unity of purpose when I first went to college. As soon as I had unpacked my bags at the dorm, my unrestricted freedom led me to the science library. I immediately wanted to make an unprecedented discovery. I wanted to show that some concepts previously thought of as universally true were not in fact so universal. To meet my end, I hardly slept and rarely ate. (The dorm food was unpalatable, anyway.) The first thing I learned when classes began was that my unrestrained confidence was quite unsophisticated. I suffered from making too many unsubstantiated claims. I had a lot to learn about my field and much of it was basic. My confidence was unshaken, but that didn’t mean I hadn’t learned a lesson or two. For example, I learned that being unselfish in the research field could unveil great opportunities. Being unruly about who discovered what first made for unstable relationships with fellow students. In order to best explore a previously untouched topic, rapport among colleagues was a must. To think that fighting and competition would get us anywhere was really untenable. Most of the fellow students and professors with whom I worked were quite good people. However, there was one unscrupulous chap who unseemly decided to publish out findings and claim them as his own. We had some unwieldy arguments with him about this incident. He later recanted his claims and included us under authorship. Otherwise, we would have had to sue him. And I’m an astronomy student, not a law student.
