在Purdue上了一个学期的课后,
我发现我有得也有失。
首先,这里的教育制度果然不同。
正常来说,这里的一节课只有50分钟,
一星期有三节课。
虽然说50分钟看起来很短,
但是,我们能够在这50分钟里集中精神。
倘若我们上了2个小时的课,
我相信多数人都在第二个小时就开始梦游了。
我喜欢我的心理学老师。
虽然她在评分上有点苛刻,
但是我发现她所让我们做的每一个功课都是有助于我们的。
她让我们自己写出10道选择题,然后交上去。
在大考前,她给我们发了整整150道她觉得好的练习题,
让我们做复习。
此外,她还让我们拍video.
开始时,我还以为她要我们演出来,
原来不是。
她要我们利用我们所学到的知识,
到大街上去做“实”验。
比如说,通常当有人经过课室时,
有些人会自然而然地转过头去看。
我们的任务就是当那些经过课室的人,
然后录起来课室里的状况,
再利用我们所学到的知识解释为什么他们会转过头。
然而,我却发现我真的很怀念我在Nottingham度过的日子。
朋友们,我想你们咯!
也许是因为我们有共同的爱好,
而且又住在一起,
我真怀念我在那边度过的每一天。
我们几乎每天傍晚都一起在cafe吃晚饭,
十几个人挤进一间小房间里谈天,
定时为朋友庆祝生日,
每星期五都一起到唯一能去的地方--Tesco,
还一起打羽毛球 (虽然我打得不怎么好),
组成一只Frisbee队。。。。。。
虽然当时的我很烦躁,很压力,很忙,
根本无法专注在课业上,
但,我还是很怀念那些日子。
朋友们,你们可别忘记我哦!

Winter break
Finally, after struggling for 4 months, it is WINTER BREAK!!!!!
Normally, I would choose to travel around during the break.
This time I choose not to go anywhere.
I plan to make good use of this winter break.
1) Sleep as many hours as I can
2) Relax (You won't have time to rest once Spring semester starts)
3) Of course, PLAY!!!!!
4) Enjoy the snow (Although it is freezing, I feel happy whenever it snows...=D)
I just received my first semester results.
I get CGPA 3.70.
Although there are a lot of people getting CGPA 4.0,
I feel satisfied for that results.
Since this is my first semester,
I am not going to force myself.
I will definitely work harder for the coming semester!!!!
ps. I am going to write a brief summarize on my life at Purdue...=)

Crazyness




Next year, I plan to stay with my best friends at Purdue.
There are 7 of us, made up of 4 males and 3 females.
We try to search for an apartment that is near to campus, and the most important is, IT MUST BE CHEAP!!!!
hahaha...we managed to find one.
Since the condition is so good,
we have to line up early so that we can lease the apartment.
In fact, we have to sign the lease on November 5, 2010 so that we can secure a place at the apartment next year.
So, we decided to start lining up at 3pm on November 4, 2010.
Although it sounds crazy, but we have to do this because of the high demand...
Since it is Fall now, the temperature is LOW!!!
the weather forecast even mentioned that there might be snowing during that day!!!
OMG!!!
Indeed, it was very cold.
Surprisingly, we saw a lot of American students lining up as well.
They are well equipped with blanket, sleeping bag, pillow, food....
After a cold and long night, we finally manage to sign the lease!!!
I am relief now because I don't need to worry about the accommodation stuff already..
I personally think that this is a good "crazy" experience for me..
I need to do something CRAZY like this during my university life!!!!
hahahaha

难免会想家,想朋友。
多亏有了skype,让我得以跟你们交谈。
你们都在我生日那天跟我skype了。
真感激。。
谢谢你们的那一份心意。。

再次感谢我所有的朋友们。。无论身在何处,我们永远都是好朋友。。

My first job in USA
Today, I finally able to begin my job.
For those who don't know,
I am now working in the Earhart Dining Court.
This is not only my first job in USA,
but also my first job at Purdue.
For international students like me,
We have to apply for Social Security Card before begin working in USA.
In fact, I have already get this job on the early September.
But, it took me 1 month to receive my Social Security Number><
Basically, I need to do everything assigned by the student coordinator.
Although it may be tiring,
I am sure that this would be one of the best thing I ever done during my university life.
