Come back down to earth…
Last week was really crazy, moving into our duplex on Forsyth, starting classes on Introductory Accounting, getting furnitures etc etc. Never stoped… Had to set alarms on 5am on some mornings but kept falling back to sleep again and again… Anyway I attended each and every class, and arrived real early in the mornings, being very focused and as active as I can in the classes. I feel like a good student again. Amen.
After talking to a few fellow coursemates I decided not to take Introductory Finance as I really feel stupid to take it given that I am from an Economics major. And fortunately our director and professor both agreed to waive it for me. So now I’ve got a whole week off!! I once thought about going up to Maryland and visit my dear 10, but in a minute the idea was turned down as there are really loads of stuffs for me to do.. My room is a problem, our duplex has a chimney, and for some reason it’s leaking and the wall in my room is a bit awful.
Oh, and our almost-MSF duplex, we’ve got 5 out of 6 guys living here that are doing MSF, except for one married girl who’s doing east asian studies. Got a decent table from Weekends Only a week ago, and it is a real bargain! It now serves as a library group work discussion table for studies, and also as a nice large dining table. Also the duplex is divided into two parts by its definition, but it is as if living in a big house with 5 other buddies, and this is something that I’ve never experienced before and I’m really looking forward to it.
OK, so now I’ve almost settled down, except that I barely enter my room, and I’ve no idea how long will this situation last as the workmen’s efficiency is just so unpredictable. However we had this nice carpenter, who came along with our landlord to install a door for Matt, one of our MSF buddies, and he helped getting my full size box spring onto the second floor! Skip the point that he cutted the brand new box spring into two parts, but he was creative as well, he put them together again, pretty sturdy really. And one other thing I learn from all these stuffs, labour expense in the States is really high…
So come back to the topic, yeah I’ve been really busy for a couple of weeks and I really wish I can have a rest, even if it’s just a little oversleep… zzz It’s gonna be a short break, and when the fall semester kicks off, I would be much busier and I can imagine the workload and stress that we are gonna have.
There’re still so much things that I want to talk about, like a brief trip to downtown St. Louis, just found out St. Louis is the second most dangerous city in the States, WashU stories etc etc. But my eyes are refusing to do so, they want to close.. So, let go.
am i the only person visiting here except yourself?
go baby go! it feels like flying when it’s getting very busy… ahaha~
