What draws me into this episode is Rory's difficult decision on whether to continue pursuing her dream of a journalist. It was a shock to me when Michum Huntzburger said Rory was not suitable for the post of a journalist, and I was about to really believe that it was an objective judgement from an experienced news man. But, obviously, Michum just didn’t like Rory as his son Logan's girlfriend, and I have to say this man is so MEAN!

Michum’s word was a blow on Rory’s confidence and determination and lead to the yacht theft and school break. And this concerns the very important topic facing my life right now - the very decision on a teen's future.

Rory is making a phone call perhaps to Lor

Rory the chief editor or Yale Daily Newspaper

To a senior three (high school) Chinese student, it seems that a college major determines one's lifepath and future condition - status, money, satisfaction and so on. The consequences act as a heavy burden on the consideration process. I was that kind of person who wouldn’t hesitate to go after my spiritual pursuits, but now I'm getting more and more realistic, worrying about being a drain on my parent's deposit and pension. As expected, life smooths the ambitions of a man. Even if I do pursue what I love, chances are that I would probably get bored of what was once my passion because, once again, life smooths a man’s ambition and so does repeated daily study and practice.

But seeing Rory getting back to Yale at last and stop wasting time on those meaningless DAR fundraising parties, it suddenly dawns on me that love and passion for a career is something that drives you pursue despite all odds and against all objections because you love it! For me, it about going against my hesitation of losing interest in what I love. For Rory, it’s about going against authority and prove one’s own value and potential and she absolutely bears that special quality.

Rory always brings me foods for thought in a way that Lorelai never does, and I feel like growing with this girl from her naïve 16 to the best glowing age of 21. She reads plenty, has eagerness for knowledge, writes well, is competence for everything that she strives to do well, that’s the brilliant picture of a girl who I have always longed to be.

Logan Huntzburger, Rory’s boyfriend, has great charm. His smile and hair prompt me to skip Season 3 and 4 right to 5 and 6. His deep look at Rory could indicate his love for his girl. At the same time, he was romantic, hiring coffee carts to follow Rory the coffee addict, tricking her into a kiss, planning the life and death party…

But he kind of has the common problem shared by sons from rich families, showing disrespect to others and being cold when he wasn’t in some mood. I think he really crashed Luke’s esteem when he suggest to give Luke a present on the Valentine double date. Also, his casual date and casual one night stand is totally intolerable. So, though deeply attracted by his charm and romance, I don’t think I will continue Season 7, plus the Lorelai and town chores really bores me.
