Trash life

I am working on another literature paper. I am so annoyed, i don't mean to say that i hate writing literature paper but i am so annoyed in the long editing process and i have no idea on how to write a really really good literature paper. Last time, i spent two weeks reading my paper like a thousand times and went to the writing centre twice to have someone to fix my grammar. You are right, i learnt nothing in the past twenty years, i am still writing kindergarten English...........Damn! (and i got a C+ for my last paper)
Anyway, i spent so much time playing in the past few days. I was supposed to work on my philosophy paper on thursday, but it turned out that i went to Antigua, a dance club in downtown. That night, i came back at 3am and had to work on paper till my brain stopped working at 7am. I slept for 2 hous, worked on my paper again and hand in my rubbish paper in class. I told everyone that i won't procrastinate that much and i will really start working hard. I don't know why they came to persuade me to play more as that's what my exchange year for. The fact is that, after class, i went shopping again and spent so much in Abercrombie. I really love the clothes in Abercrombie, their clothes are not so expensive actually. I can't imagine that i can stay awake till 1am on friday. When Erika said that Andy was coming to play with us and we were going to drink. I was thinking: 'Oh my god.......i am killing myself.' So then, we bought Corona(beer) from 7-11 and started to play card games, after Andy left, we played 'Truth or Dare'. If Erika didn't insist to stay in the room, i will surely made her to grab a Phi Del guy downstairs and give him a hug. We did so many silly things: Erika had to wear one more bra outside her shirt; Mett had to put his head in the fridge for a minutes and well..........me.........as I said that game is a game, i don't care...........they made me kiss Mett on the lips.
Crazy crazy, i slept at 5am that night and i was woke by Andy at 11:30am, he asked me to buy some water for him. (What? Woke me up to ask me to buy some water for u? GOD!!!!) I can't go back to sleep anyway, so i went out to Mills Lawn(the grassland in the middle of the college). The Holloween Howl had started for 2 hours already, there were so many different counters. AASA(Asian Amercian Students Association) was responsible for Face Painting, but the paints we had were like crayons, it was so hard to use. I did paint flowers, hearts, butterflies and bats on kids' face. Actually my bat is just an irregular shape in black, i felt so sorry for the kid. The haunted house on-campus was so fun. Pinehurst was really serious on it, they had their own story plot and made their hall a laboratory. I was so glad that there wasn't a chainsaw man, or i will scared to death. There's a little boy in my tour, after finishing our tour in Pinehurst, he screamed so loud: 'I will sue you all !' He was so funny.
I felt so tired on saturday night and i went to sleep at 1am(still).
Today is Grandma's birthday, hope she will be healthy and happy all the time, i called her and promised to bring her many many American things.
I have to turn my clocks, watches and cell phone back for one hours. I'm 13 hours behind Hong Kong from now on.
Gonna start working on my paper............

One month anniversary

I am so lazy to write here, the main problem is that i don't want to spend so much time with the computer here, pretty tired of that kind of life.
It has been a month already, i didn't realize i have been here so long until i found out that i had already used up most of my toothpaste.
A very strange feeling....


Time passes in a blink. I finally realized.



I always feel like having vacation here, it do good to me coz i won't be so serious in everything. They asked me if i will stay after one year, sure i can't. I like to study here coz i can spend so much time reading but i can't really adapt the whole life style here. I really don't like their parties, i hate beers!!
But i do know that i may change some day. May be i will come back after i finished my degree in BU, may be. I may start to hate Hong Kong after year either. There are so many push factors that drive me here and i feel so good to really think of my own life of what i really want to be and achieve. I still haven't figure out the answers, at least i do know what is not suitable for me.





I feel like a subject in an experiment here, testing human behaviour in a new environment. Very complicated feeling.......





All in all, i do have very good time here.
Glad that there's no win or lose in this trip.











P.S. I started to dream in three languages now: Mandarin, Cantonese and English. So tiring.........bin tai...........
