It has been 2012 for a long time already in U.S. time, but it is just beginning of 2012 in China time. It is the third day of lunar calender in China so it is still Chinese New Year. Maybe it is a little bit sad that I start to forget this most important festival in China. I think I'd better make myself to forget this, sometimes.However, it is not too sad. I already had many good times with family and friends last month.
It is just one week since I came back. It is not too hard to adjust the life here but a little bit hard when I went back China.
This semester is a little bit tough. I was studying anatomy again just now. I found out that I have been studying this since I took the flight. Actually, I like this very much, compared to the all research paper, philosophy, and psychology. They ARE helpful, but just not my tea.
Took TOEFL test (which is a language test for international students) last Saturday.It is 4 hours test. Reading, listening, speaking, and writing. Oh..goodness. I wish I could write as fast as I do now. I didn't know what's wrong with me. I couldn't think and write very well at that time..poor listening skills ruined me. The listening covers every part. It just required me to write 300 words of one of the writing. It seemed like it took me forever to squeeze some wonderful English. I think the test just shouldn't judge people with those standards. Anyway, I am done with that.
I missed ISU application dates and also many universities. It is kind of messy now.
Working hard is not far enough. I need a smart and fresh brain.
Oh Ava, I'm sure it's been hard switching between cultures for you! I'm just so glad that you have families that love you on both sides of the ocean. I'm sure all of your plans and education will work out just the way God has planned, good luck on a new semester! I'm sure you'll do great!

Maybe you weren't well rested after traveling? There is soooo much pressure when you take important tests. :(
