2016-9-10 姐姐已经买好了圣诞节回家的机票，本来感恩节也想回来的，后来觉得时间短机票又贵，就决定利用这时间在学校完成一个项目，省下的钱可以让妹妹多申请两家学校，姐姐说学校的伙食不错，自己吃的也比别的同学健康，选了七门课，参加了两个俱乐部，不太喜欢参加聚会，说 第一次 自己觉得是个工作狂，第一次觉得自己在长大，也慢慢学会和不同的人相处，有些话可以说，有些话不可以说，以及说多少。这两个星期姐姐每到星期五就给家里面写一个小节，说这样比打电话交流更方便一些。我们也觉得这样不错，这样节省大家的时间，交流的效率更高一些。 一、 繁忙的一天（ 9-3-2016） I have to get up at 7am to go to my class at 8:30am-10am . Then I go directly to lunch and then class at 1pm . My classes are far from my dorm, so I never go back to my dorm. I share my classes with other people, so I just eat and study with other people, and it is too early to call you then. Sometimes from 11:20am -12:00pm I also have scheduled appointments with my writing instructor.Then class ends at 4pm . I end up studying usually from 4pm-6pm or walk with a friend. Last time I called you guys during this time, but there were classmates around me, I was busy, and I had things to deliver, so that was not a good time either. I go to dinner, and then I go to class at 6pm-7:20 . Then I decided to check out the boxing club, which when from 7:30pm-8:30pm . By the time I got home, it was 9pm , and I was tired and needed alone time for myself. And at that time, the last thing I want to do is to call someone, because I have work to do and I am tired. Feeling like I had to, I called you guys anyway. I was stressed for the past 2 months about the community foundation not replying to me, and my mind is blank about many other things. Calling both of you makes me more stressed, because of raised voices. And what I do want to talk about are things like, "my professor Mike Patterson created the music video for Take On Me by Aha", or "I might be interested in visual music" which would've taken 15 minutes to explain, and no one probably knows what I'm talking about, and usually after I explain still you guys still don't know what I am talking about. So yes, I am never in my dorm. only in the morning from 7:00am to 7:20am and then at night from 8pm to bedtime. At night, I just want to get work done.But I'm not stressed at all either. I just keep myself busy with clubs, writing stupid emails to the community foundation, collaboration projects that I'm doing for fun (which means I still have to work on my own projects later), and etc. But it's much better than high school because I'm doing work I like. 二、写比说强 I don't know, I hate calling people, but I like to write, so can I call you for around 15 minutes, instead of an hour. I know that you don't even like to give my grandparents calls for 1 hour. I know because you just pass the phone around and no one wants the phone. And instead, I could write out other things. It's much easier to communicate that way. I don't have to repeat myself, I am less likely to say the wrong thing to give off the wrong impression, I could think more clearly, and I don't have to switch like an idiot from Chinese to English and back again. For example, I just thought of more things to say: 1） I am discovering more about the types of animation I would like to make. 2) My dance and theater classes are fun. 3) I am more collaborative, and already I am trying to collaborate with other people on projects. 4) There are a lot of things I didn't figure out yet, so my mind is blank, but I am still trying to see what clubs I should join, and I am using my time wisely. 5) I am eating healthy compared to my friends. 6) I don't party. I found out again that I hate it and I think it's pointless, but I do like to hang out with my animation friends. 7) I feel like I have moments of realizations a lot more. Meaning, I recognize that I realize what to do or what not to do around people, or in different situations - I sense that I am growing. 8) I found out that I am a nerd who likes to go to my classes. 9) I am still trying to settle in, and maintain a balance so I could get working again. I am slowly getting there, but not yet. and 10) I need to pick up my laundry and sleep early. 三、 物以类聚（9-9-2016） I had a great time so far. I was working really hard early this week on creating an image (took me way longer than I excepted), went to an improv show on campus, and some other things I can't remember at the moment. But to summarize this week, I got much closer to some people in my major, and we would work together in the labs and eat together. I really like the people in my major here, and I feel like they all understand me, and we get along. It is a NEW and good feeling to have a group of friends that I feel connected to, instead of being too busy and no one would care if you were gone. It is a good feeling to say things - random thoughts, and have people actually respond and laugh at what you say or understand you. It shocks me every time, and I haven't felt really annoyed at anyone yet. 四、金非锡比 It feels really weird, and I feel sad - really sad, when I am working without other people in the lab with me. I never felt that way before, so I realized how not happy I was years before because of the people I surrounded myself with. I am laughing all the time now. My classes are all interesting and fun, and I have so many more story ideas just popping in my head all the time now. My only regret is that I haven't finished composing that piece on the piano. However now, I need to get back to work, finish my papers, and keep working. I feel what my sister is feeling - the conflict between getting distracted and work. I will find a balance soon, and find a way to get work done - while having fun at the same time.
