Jiami去Las Vegas的日子只有四天，但于我却如同四个月。
开始两天把自己懒在家里，借口是不想被屋外零下20几度的天气残杀。
前天 --- Christmas Eve
Greg是这天的大厨.
Couscous+broccoli,
Squash (brown sugar & butter)
Grilled tilapia (lemon pepper, butter, mushroom, onion)
Wall-E的DVD是我送他的圣诞礼物。
昨天 --- Christmas
又是一顿大餐,但老板家把Christmas大餐改成了Thanksgiving大餐，于是一只18磅的火鸡赫然立于桌上. 可这只鸟虽然体型庞大，但从来不会是吃客的最爱.
反而是独门独户的stuffing最得我意。美国版烤红薯也从来不会让我失望。
去的时候带了瓶Amish红酒，加上他们本来准备的一瓶白葡萄酒, 三杯两种酒下肚，脸上开始变色。久违了。
老板竟然送了我一个从Officemax买的bookcase和一套工具。我心里于是又开始波澜荡漾：为什么我总是遇到好人。
这晚的亮点不是食物，也是不是礼物，是个人物 --- 老板的小儿子。他和他妈一起来接我，我刚走出门，就看
有时候逃离其实很简单，精心打扮一番，一手挽着handbag,一手拎着电脑包，迈出门就是新鲜空气。
真的很少化妆，一年小于十次。大多数时候一副典型college girl的打扮which means
hoodie+jeans就出门。但不知道为什么女人有时候就是喜欢变张脸见人。脸变了衣服也要跟着变。性感是另一种味道，杀气满溢。
从来就是极端品性。来美国第二个月，喝咖啡喝到头痛，就此全戒。一戒就是一年。第二年的第二个月因为每天从来睡不足觉（归功于早上七点半的lab和永远学海无涯的nursing),加上Malone餐厅的french
vanilla
latte太好喝，就有把大脑交给这一杯黑黑的，但香香的液体。一边怕咖啡因不够，一边又怕咖啡因太多，于是自己非常有创意的每次先接半杯黑咖，再用latte把杯子兑满。不会太腻，不会太苦，不用加糖或是cream，一切都刚刚好。
来Kent一个星期了，没了咖啡因的生活开始想念。
于是现在又坐在了Starbucks. 这个名字对于我只剩下味觉神经的条件反射 --- Skinny Vanilla
Latte. 除了第一次点了一杯pumpkin latte以外，以后每次都很习惯的说出Vanilla

All three of us - Greg,
Jiami and I - got together this Thursday. Turns out he
was totally blowed away by her. I promise that was the first time I
ever heard a guy saying all those nice things abt a girl - 'I like
her hair', 'does she always dress like this? I love it','did u
notice she liked swinging right and left when she was talking? I
think that's cute', 'I like that inner calm in her', 'I can't blv
she's this mature, esp at her age','I think she's absolutely
attractive'...
It was a shock to me.
Look back at myself, hoodie + track pants + flip flops... When was
the last time I got myself all dressed up? Nursing school took
everything away from me as if I was not a girl any more.
Assignments and tests...No entertainment at all. It's all about
nu
Just one hour ago, the first thing I did after I came back from
Rose Lane Health Center was to check my Health Assessment test #3
grade. It was only 80%.
A very disappointing number out there.
I have no idea what's going on in this class. It's supposed to
be much easier than Fundamentals of Nursing and I did pretty well
on test #1. Then all of a sudden, I got 78% on test #2. I had
nobody to blame becoz I must say I didn't study as hard. But this
time, I was working on it on and off for 2 weeks. Still, not much
improvement showed up.
I was on the phone with Alex at the time and surely I told him
how much I was let down by this ugly grade.
30 mins ago, 20 mins after we hanged up the phone, I got a text
msg from him - 'You're doing very well,
Cathy. Don't be too hard on yourself. Good girl!'
He's always there for me. What else can I ask for...
&nb
Yes, he's
mine. I'm very certain abt this right now.
I was
watching If Only on Saturday night. He called. I
forwarded the question from the movie to him - 'what would u do if
u had only one day left?'
'Go see u',
he answered right away.
Speechless.
He never lies.
This
morning, he called at 6:30. We had to whisper all the way so that
we wouldn't wake up Leslie. It was amazing. Felt like that's the
conversation between two hearts and it's not a dream.
I always
think relationships can be very different. Some couples are just
life com
I still can't believe we had snow
this morning. It was Nov. 7th last yr, which means the snow came 2
weeks early this yr.
Alex came back to me
2 weeks ago. It felt like we were never apart. I guess he started
to realize what I meant to him. I'm glad. Although this Alex now
is still not the guy I was expecting for, but closer. I said
this over and over again, 'I'm looking for someone I can talk
to for the rest of my life, not just a life companion.' He knows
this very well - 'u don't know what u got until it's gone.' Good
boy.
The first few days
after I came back at Malone from Kent was hard. All of a sudden, I
was here all by myself again. I did have people around, people I
didn't really feel like talking to. Fall break was too good to be
true. But Samantha said something like this once, 'from my
experience
Last few
days were the most fun I ever had since this semester got started.
Thanx to Greg, I got to be back in Kent, the place where I consider
my hometown is in this country.
The moment
Greg stopped the car at the leasing office of Eagle's
Landing, I just felt like I never left. Those 2 months at Malone
was just a study trip or a summer camp while Kent has always
been the place where I belong. Everything is just so
familiar.
Jiami is
absolutely a sweetheart. She got everything prepared before I came.
Because I'd been having American junks for the last 2 months and
getting so sick of it, she knew I was desperately craving for
Chinese food. Also, I was free to use her stuff,
everything from cotton swaps to fancy lotion. It was a feeling
of secure.
Carrie
said, 'So many roads, so many detours, so many choices, so many
mistakes. As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a
gal will find herself a little lost and when that happens, she has
to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda, buckle up and just keep
going.'
Alex
said, 'what didn't kill u makes u stronger.'
It's the end of the story. I know it. He backed off. I'm
out. 'All the best' was my last words.
Big
deal.
No
more tears after 7 days. Good for m
没有办法一句话说清楚在美国看奥运的感受．
这段时间情绪起伏大到极致，看着NBC的奥运转播有时候气不打一处来．
1.最恨广告
虽然不得不承认奥运转播期间的广告有些非常有创意,比如Coca
Cola(表扬一下).但有时实在觉得广告时间大于比赛时间,至少划等号.不要跟我罗琐这是商品时代,没有赞助商就没有NBC的转播之类的废话.
2.关于吃
放着那么多中华美食不说,每个主持人都竭尽所能去找bizarre
food.语气带着让人极其不爽的'惊奇'.说是说美国人喜欢Chinese
food,但在他们心里,中国人吃的乱七八糟的印象根深蒂固.
3,关于解说
最恨那个坐在演播室评论体操的老头.不知道哪里来的叛徒,操着一口口音极重的烂英语(强烈怀疑是Russian
accent)
July 18th, happy birthday
to me. Thanx to all.
So much happened this month that I don't know
where to start. I never thought I could be here since I had too
much confidence on KSU nursing school or should I say, on myself.
The rejection put me into a huge trouble which could lead to
leaving U.S. Although I've always been having full faith that
everything's gonna be ok, it took me quite a while to finally
accept what's going on in my life.
Now, I think I need make an announcement here
just to let you know - I am transfering to another school. It's
still in Ohio, but a different city, a nicer one it's safe to say.
Most importantly, they offered me $10,500 scholarship the minute
they saw my transcript with GPA 3.88 for
the past year in Kent State.
Everything ended up to be good for me
