New classes

I went to all the classes I registered for in the past two days. I liked one econ class a lot. In the accounting class, the professor was really talkative and funny. Also she was trying to push students to make them prepared for job hunting. She is a CPA of this state, so maybe I should talk to her a lot. And the last class.. I almost failed in the professor's class in winter and I swore that I would never take his class again but.. to finish finals as early as possible, his class schedule is the best. As before, he doesn't provide any lecture note; he keeps talking in the lecture and he goes over even the important things really quickly. However, the things that are different from last time is I am really interested in the topic of the course, which is international trade theory. I worked in a trading company and I know the actual trading system, especially exporting, to some extent. So I want to learn more about international trading. Also it seems he will provide some practice questions for the exams even thought he didn't have any for the other class I took before. I might take it but not sure yet..


I'm going to start studying from this weekend!! I'm sure that if I don't do head start, I will fall behind. I won't do the same mistakes again!!!

catching a cold, maybe

I felt sick whole afternoon. 。(´д`lll) I went grocery shopping with my roomie in the evening, but my lungs were strange and I couldn't breathe well due to the pain. I took Chinese medicine already. I hope it will work and I will feel better on the first day of the new school year.


hu- ε=(。・д・。)

=_=

My friend called me and he thought I'm down judging from my voice. I thought I was talking just normally. I tried to speak like I was fine, but it might have sounded strange too. I think I have been blue since another quarter is starting very soon. And maybe too much Ally.. (I finished the second season.. addicted!)

dvd

I have been watching Ally McBeal since I got the DVDs. I've heard from many people that the second and third season are very interesting. I'm watching the second season, and it's REALLY interesting!!! I know the drama is about 90s and kind of old but there are so many things I understand and sympathize with in that stories. And I heard that the actress playing Ally is not that popular in here but she is super cute-- (^_^).


I'm still mentally tired but it's getting better. I talked to my old suitemate on the phone and I was glad to hear she is doing great. She is looking for the chance that she shows me how to make lasagna and I show her how to make sushi. We came up with that idea long time ago but we were too busy.


get back to Ally-- о(ж>▽<)y ☆

tired..

I'm tired of expecting and being expected. I sometimes just want to throw away everything.

One year

Oh, it's been a year since I came to LA. Then.. I 've been in the US for 3 years and 5 months totally. Time is passing--

Time for myself

My roomie went traveling so I have been alone at my apartment. Last weekend I went to Las Vegas with friends. It was a very busy trip since we didn't have enough time. But I got to see the main street and took many pictures. I woke up really early in the morning, so my face is pale and tired in those pictures though.. (-。-;) I did gambling but I lost. Of course. Two of my friends lost about $100. Scary--. I was a little afraid of gambling because of my father. I was afraid if I like gambling and get addicted. But I was glad to find the fact that I don't like it. It means I don't have many things to do in Las Vegas. I know I can see the shows but what is the point of going there taking 4-5 hours by car? Anyway I got to see Las Vegas finally. I am really grateful to my friends who took me there.


Here in my apartment, it is really quiet. I only hear cars from outisde. I decided to stay here at least until I graduate from my university, but I still need to make sure several things for myself. I have a week till the fall quarter starts, so I will make the most of my time. (^_^)v

hontoni 100ten?

I checked the grade of the group essay again, but it has not been changed.. I hope my teacher doesn't change it forever..


Tomorrow, I will leaving for Las Vegas!!!!! My friend found a chaper and better hotel than the one we booked 2 weeks ago, so she canceled the old one and reserved the better one^^. We are going to share the room fee with four people. It's a good deal!!


But.. one thing I am worried about is a loooooong drive. My friend knows I get carsick often, so I am sure she is going to stop a few times for some fresh air. But still... Last time I went to Santa Barbara, I got really really sick and I saw the hell. I hope it won't happen again.

final..

It seems I didn't do well in the final, but I don't think about it till I get the real result. (-。-;)


I have several things to do before the fall quarter starts. They are kind of troublesome things but I need to finish now, otherwise I won't have time. BUT! At last, I will go to Las Vegas this weekend. I am so excited about it. I can't forget my passport. If I forget, I have to stay in the hotel room by myself..


Also I am going to find people to do language exchange. I got used to private language exchange already, so I will find a few people at least. I made a friend in the bus I everyday use. I am going to ask him if he would be interested in it since he said he wanted to learn Japanese language and culture. (His grandfather is Japanese.) He said he can speak Spanish fluently, so I can try the sentences I learned from the Spanish language TV program! yay! ヽ(゜▽、゜)ノ

^o^

o(^▽^)o I had a chance to put my worries out. I feel much better now. I thought I would be rejected and just fail, but it was good that the situation went better. <(^_^<)(>^_^)> I need to be strong enough to keep some worries inside for a while and not to let my worries affect my life, but it is hard. I think I can study well for the coming final. ('-^*)/
