HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

Happy Chinese New Year 2006!
What a great day to start a blog - on the first day of a New Year.
May this blog live a long, nice auspicious life.

For the few that know and the many that probably don't, I'm currently on exhange to the States now, at the University of Pennsylvania. That's in Philadelphia, in the state of Pennsylvania which shares borders with the likes of New York, New Jersey, Washington DC and it's not too far away from Boston. I've been here since Jan 3rd, and my final paper will be on the 5th of May. I'm taking 2 business modules, 1 language and 2 Arts modules. That's Gao Lu, Yu Qing, me, student tour guide and Hanna.

School's pretty competitive here, albeit the many on-going activities and parties. Everyone plays hard and works even harder, which is superbly impressive. We've visited Princeton University in New Jersey, and Washington DC thus far. Upcoming plans include trips to Florida, Chicago, New York and Boston =D Thank you Gao Lu, Wendy, Sharon and YuQing for everything since day1. And to everyone back home who've in one way or another kept in contact and helped me settle down, words cannot express my gratitude. Thank you.

Deadlines for the week ahead: Spanish test on Monday, 2 papers due on Tuesday, a weekly response paper for Jap due on Friday, and a freaking 259-paged novel for Sociology. WHYYYYYY.
Then it's New York, 3-5 Feb! =D

Sidenote: Pictures and blogs may not coincide with actual dates of events because I lack a camera cable. Thank god Wendy uses the same camera.
