My trip to the Summer Palace with my roommate and friends.
我和玉秋跟我的同屋和她的朋友去颐和园。



一边走一边爬，有点儿累。





爬到最高的地方。

I was surfing around for a good blog to read as usual, and I realised that I’m encountering more and more chinese blogs.

要是我想找好读的 ‘blog’ 我最好学中文学快一点。我看过文章写：一个人应该最少知道三千字就可以看报纸。
三千字！？没问题！我现在知道这么多了，三千应该很容易。。。 NOT (in Borat terms)

Yes okay, I know a decent amount of characters however the retension rate isn’t so good So my aim is to learn more than 3000 characters!

我觉得我可以认出三千多字就很好。我会写三千多字(without help) 我一定会出去庆祝庆祝一下 不过，我还学不下三千个字我也会出去玩玩以下。哈哈！

Now, the only problem is that I don’t know how many characters I currently know… So how many more characters do I need to learn to reach my target??

UNI has finished!
EXAMS ARE HERE!
HOLIDAYS are next!

Next step, I’ll have to look into booking a dorm at BLCU (Beijing Language and Culture University) because 我打算住在校内 (at least for the first few months). I may move off campus if I find the opportunity, depends on how things go when I actually get there though My inside source has given me a heads up of which dorms are newly renovated & refurbished so hopefully I’ll get one of those

From the looks of things, I’m most likely going to share. But when I actually get there I might decide to be snobby and just keep one room for myself. Because y’know, I like my alone time and all I’ve done some surfing around and apparently, even if you have booked a room, it isn’t a garanty. 啊，但是我不在乎. There should be plenty of rooms, if not, there are hotels near by and I’m sure if I’m really desperate, my cousin will take me in even if it was just on the floor

But I guess the most important thing I should worry about right now is whether or not they’ve even accepted me. My friends have already received their acceptance letters from the their respective Universities, so I’m guessing BLCU will get to me sometime soon? RIGHT??!! I’ll only start freaking out if someone else gets a response from BLCU before me. I APPLIED SO EARLY!! If not, I’m going to have to chase them up again They better not have lost my application!~

Okay, I better get a start to some study!~

[[One step closer to Beijing - 1]]

我想要练习我的中文 。。。
啊，我知道这些字很简单，grammar 不太好，也好象没有意思 。。。
我不知道想起来这一，两个’lines’ 会把我的头这么疼！

argH! I feel so useless… why is it so hard to articulate what I want to say into Chinese?!

我们要考试了。这几个星期我很忙，忙到我每天希望我飞去北京了。
啊！北京北京。。。这么好玩！快一点来好吧？哈哈！
