Humm, I think I will start with my anniversary of U.S. life. To a certain point, that's pretty something to me. :P Yesterday was my one-year day in U.S. It's great. Probably because of this, I had a very very good mood, or maybe because of school almost started. Last year August 21st, I got off plane and had first pizza at school. And I had pizza yesterday too! Wowwww..isn't that really something? Of course I didn't make it on purpose. That's why I felt surprising.
Last year Wing and I hung out with Lindy and Katie for the first time at Avantis, and we hung out for the last time at Avantis again! Sometimes, things happen like this, without any purpose, are really amazing and cheer me up. :D
Ya, summer is completely over,even the weather is still here. (But it's not super hot, is fall coming?) Another important thing is, I got my driver license!! Woahahahaha..eventually. :) Now I am looking for cars. As long as I can have a car, I don't care whether it's bug(never be a cockroach, bug here means beetle) or not any more.
I met several old friends today and some new friends today. Life is wonderful. I enjoy making friends with others. It seems like there are 2 more new Chinese students at ICC. :)
Today, I had Anatomy and Physiology lecture and lab. The biology teacher is cool. :) Actually, I find out I am not good at listening in class, which is true.I always lost important information. However, I met and meet good teachers. Teachers at ICC are pretty helpful and patient. :) After class, I picked up the tutor schedule at the learning lab for my biology class. I think I will stay there most of the time in this semester. I am at the war with many classes. Haha. People in Asia usually will say "fighting" for cheer people up, something like "good luck" or "you can do it". Some people here feel weird when we say that. It never means violence. Don't worry. :P So fighting fighting fighting! :)))
So far, I am still too chicken to drive by myself. Anyway, I had a new passenger when I drove. :P She is graduate student at Bradley. Her name is Yan. Oh, well, if you want to meet this sweet girl, I will introduce her to you. :D
Oh, one more thing, Mid-autumn Day is coming soon, which few American know this Chinese traditional festival. It's one of the most important festival in China. The full moon will hang in the sky, every year except raining or cloudy. Families get together and have a big big dinner! The typical food is mooncake, which is available at the Asian market. The typical activities is to hang lanterns everywhere and appreciate the moon after dinner. When I was younger, I carried the lanterns to walk in the street with my siblings. It doesn't sound fun, but it's. :P Also, we have grapefruit and chestnut, which are my favorite.
Alright, fighting!! :P
ava, you need to learn to drive by yourself so you can come visit me!!
