I figure that, given the huge sum of money im spending here (15k!), i should just stop whining and start being open, enjoy and make full use of this experience. But i couldnt help but think that maybe it would be better if i had gone to a better school for exchange, somewhere in the city perhaps, where it is more vibrant and there's more things to do ( like shopping, dancing etc). Places like San Francisco, Los Angeles, or New York...Not this boring little small town. Some people like the laid-back atmosphere here, but i dont. Im a big-city person. I like noise, not quietness. So what am i doing over here?

The Tv is my greatest entertainment. The internet is my avenue for connection. My 2 soft toys (honey and rabbit) are my only source of comfort. My ipod is my faithful companion. The textboks are something i read to pass time...It sounds like such a boring lonely life!

But thankfully, im slowly starting to get used to it and enjoy it. Knowing more people here helps. And it's good that im less homesick now, but i still miss jiang terribly. My sleeping schedule totally revolves around him - i will sleep at 11plus 12 while waiting for him to get home from school, and then wake up at 6plus in the morning to talk to him, before going back to sleep till 9plus 10am and then wake up for school.

Anyway, school is starting to get hectic. There's really no time to slack because we have like 2-3 lectures a week for each course, so once you are behind, it's really hard to catch up. Not to mention assignments due almost every other day, and pop quizzes. Yar, pop quiz. This is only the second week of school and i just had my first pop quiz. Fortunately, because this place is so boring, i had no choice but to study so i was fully prepared for this surprise quiz.

Looking forward to the weekend in San Francisco, till then, ciao!
