| I have posted on here for a long time. Sorry!
I've created a blog on my network a while back, and even though I don't update as much as I did before on xanga, I feel that I can express more personal thoughts on the blog than here. I suppose it's because I have such a large list of subscriptions here that it's hard to get to know every one of the people.
However, I will still keep this xanga account, and return once in a while, to visit those few more familiar friends here. Also, I will continue changing the xanga layout just to keep it alive. I suppose I will still post random thoughts and rants from time to time.
But for now, please redirect to K-Reative for my new blog.
P.S. I think I'll start working on a new layout for this account in two weeks, after my Finals are over. =) | | |

Your Five Variable Love Profile
|
Propensity for Monogamy:
Your propensity for monogamy is high.
You find it easy to be devoted and loyal to one person.
And in return, you expect the same from who you love.
Any sign of straying, and you'll end things.
Experience Level:
Your experience level is medium.
You probably have had a couple significant loves.
And you may have even had your heart broken.
But you haven't really dated a wide variety of people.
Dominance:
Your dominance is medium.
You tend to be the one with more power.
You aren't a total control freak in relationships..
But of course you don't mind getting you way!
Cynicism:
Your cynicism is medium.
You'd like to believe in true and everlasting love...
But you've definitely been burned enough to know better.
You're still an optimist, but you also are a realist.
Independence:
Your independence is medium.
In relationships, you need both "me time" and "we time."
You usually find it easy to be part of a couple.
But occasionally you start to feel a little smothered.

Valentines Day was somewhat fine -- though I had classes all day from 8:30am to 5pm, and also an exam.
Though, I got chocolate for the first time =)
There was also a chocolate fountain at the MarketPlace (Duke freshman dining hall).
For some reason, I really miss home, I want Spring Break to come soon... | | |
| HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!! | | |
| There are many ways to gain popularity -- be extremely rich, very good-looking, have a friendly and outgoing personality, be a genius... However, in the environment of a prestigous, private university, where a majority of the student population are from upper middle class families, and whose parents are great people in society -- most of the above options won't work at all. What will always make one the center of conversations, though...however somewhat -- well, absolutely -- on the negative side, is to be a overly-curious and annoy questioner.
I will never forget a fellow freshman I've encountered in my first year in college. She was in three of my above-average courses: two of which we shared the same lectures, and one I was in the lecture section after hers. At first glance, she appeared to be an intelligent person -- if somewhat strange -- though such abnormal cases are common in a college like mine. She always set in the front row. Attended every lecture, took notes on everything the professor had said. Studied periodically -- more likely constantly. A passionate student she was, one could say. However, the day when she opened her mouth -- everything changed.
All professors encourage students to ask questions in, before, and after lectures. However, when the questioning gets to an extend of annoyance and way overly done -- there clearly is a problem. My fellow first year student couldn't not stop asking questions...and note, those questions were in most cases irrelevent to the lecture, or so strange that no one have ever thought of -- in the context of: "Why do you even bother to ask that question?"
The first professor got so annoyed by her that he completely ignored her after a while, or seemly said that "The answer to the question will be cover in later topics" (which is mostly true). The second professor, poor him, had to stay later than usual in the classroom to offer her explanations, until the next class came and kick him out, and still had the girl following him out with more questions. The third professor, whose course I'm in right now, had just discovered the horror of having a student like her...
Well, at least she proved a way to be popular in the student population -- even though people disliked her. It was funny how after the first lecture I had with the third professor -- in which, of course, she asked one or two questions -- everyone in that course section seemed to know her. When I went to the course Discussion section this Monday, and the TA there was saying something that I cannot recall.
One student replied: "Well, there was this little **[censor]** who kept asking those stupid questions..."
Conversation revolving around that certain **[...]** person started.
Sometime later... TA: "Some people like that may happen to be your boss in the future..."
Student: "Some people may just be too socially awkward to be promoted."
I do feel sorry for that fellow first year student, however, at times it just became too much for me to handle -- I'd rather get through a lecture peaceful, without anyone interrupting the professor with pointless questions... | | |
| I've been eating a lot in the past few days...like right now, I just had dinner one and a half hours ago, and yet I'm making a big bag of popcorns. =P Well, popcorns ARE good! You can't argue that. =P At least I don't have to ever worry about my weight -- because I'm trying to gain weight. Though I suspect that I'll ever be fat, I was always a skinny kid since I was born. I probably inherited it from my dad -- he eats sooooo much, but he's still skinny...
College's been OK so far. Since the classes just started, we don't have much works to do, yet -- GOOD. I don't like my schedule though. It's hard for me to change my classes, all the classes that I want to take conflicts with my current schedule... grr. So, I ended up taking some not-so-easy classes. For instance, I can't switch out of Computer Science 6 and into Computer Science 1 (intro course). I don't know much programming, other than HTML, and that doesn't really count as a computer programming, so I'd be lost during the first half of the course --- well, actually, I'm already lost on the first assignment...lol.
Anyways, I'd better get back to reading my Computer Science book (at least I'm somewhat interested in it so it won't be too boring). And Oops! I think I just over heated my popcorns while typing this post...Hehe.
Oh GOd, I think I'd have to make a new bag of popcorns =( This one is all black now... | | |
