Seattle day 1…

After about 3 hours in the airplane, finally I arrived at Seattle Airport. The night view was pretty good. I was very excited that I finally saw the Space Needle (Did I spell it right?). GuGu and Steven came to pick me up. I think Seattle airport doesn’t look as nice as San diego airport. How sad! Anyway, after that we went to HJ’s place. I actually like the apartments in Seattle more than the ones in SD maybe because they all have laundry insite and they have elevators too I saw Lydia and her brother as well. Her place is pretty nice! Then I met Shannon and Patty and her boyfriend, Nelson. I realized that I saw them before in the picture. They were very friendly and they made some cookies too! Then we were talking about going to snowboarding tomorrow….

Ace P-Chem

I am sooooooooooo happy that I got an A on Physical Chemistry: Quantum Mechanics. I am just very very excited because this shows that hard work, dedication and sacrifice pay off. This is probably the only class I enjoyed this quarter. I went to almost all the professor’s office hours and I have overcome my ego a lot of times. I had the courage to ask whatever stuff that does not make sense to me. I had the courage to seek the understanding. I had the courage to critically think about what I read, what is being presented to me and what I have learned. As always….I can do it!!!!!!!!!! And I can do it well………..Very satisfied with my performance. I have told myself before seeing the grade that it is ok that I don’t get an A because I have really done my best. Nevertheless, I really enjoy this class.

I am done!!!

At 10:00pm tonight I was officially free from school (at least for a while). Normally I should feel happy, but I feel like I am still very tense and I don’t feel relaxed. I am not very sleepy as well. Why is that? So many stuff in my mind, should they be there? mmm….I don’t know….

I am so lack of sleep this week. I was soooooo stressful. And, I have so many pimples as well. I am a girl. I don’t want people to look at me like at. Most importantly, I don’t want myself to be like that. As what my friend said: “Being successful requires sacrifice, hard work, and some luck. Will I have the “some” luck to be successful? How much do I need to sacrifice to become what I want to be? How can I achieve what I want to be? It seems for far that I cannot reach there…..What should I do leh? Or what can I do? Life is so complicated….Why am I in the United States in the first place? Maybe it is just better if I didn’t come here. By this time, I would probrably be working in the restaurant or maybe in college in TJ. Maybe I would have a Mexican boyfriend as well. Wouldn’t life be not as complicated and stressful as this?

Final week of My first quarter at UCSD…
