  • Good things that happened on Sep. 17th

Though I was totally FURIOUS yesterday, there were still good things happening.
First of all, in "The Structure of English", Dr. Jain taught us "past participle" & "present participle".
I was so excited because this is what MY students in Taiwan would definitely know.
It was pretty funny to know that most native speakers had to "learn" it.
I like Dr. Jain's lecture very much because it was clear & organized.
On the other hand, I went to the library before lunch & I found a place which was full of SUNSHINE!
It was really comfortable & warm to study there, though soon I fell asleep!
These were the two things that happened yesterday.
I really have to write them down because if not, I would forget that the world is still beautiful!
Cheers

  • I MUST MOVE OUT OF THIS GOD DAMN HOUSE!!!

Yesterday, one of my housemates took my mayo away, without asking me first, just because she thought it belonged to our landlord.
Anyhow, she bought me back a new one. FINE!
Today, when I was about to microwave my McChicken for lunch, I couldn't find it anywere in the fridge.
THIS IS KILLING ME!
I don't want to deal with this any more!
The stinky basement, awful dogs, dishes piled up in the sink, not being able to do the laundry as I want...
I HAD ENOUGH OF IT!!!

  • The third weekend

This weekend I didn't go anywhere special because I planned to make up the reading.
However, I wasted my yesterday, which was Saturday...I watched 2 Hilary Duff's movies & some "scrubs"...
I think I only  finished one chapter of Second Language Acquisition & half of chapter 1 in Principles of Language Learning & Teaching(PLLT)...
Even so, I fell asleep @ around 10...woke up @ 2 & then went back to sleep again...till 8 in the morning.
It is my landlord Mike's birthday today.(He's a monkey, too & he is 24 years older than me!)
He made a big bowl of mashed potato with eggs & chicken inside. Besides, he made an excellent dish with lots & lots of EGGPLANTs, tomatoes, onions...MY FAVORITE!!!
Feeling guilty, I tried my very best to finish PLLT & read 1 chapter in Governmenb & Binding Theory and An Introduction to Sociolinguistics, respectively. (Though I had no idea what they are talking about...HA~)
Then, I went to Stonestown.
Originally, I thought it was totally a rumor that it was not worth going at all.
After I spent like 1 hour there, I realized that it was totally TRUE.
Nordstrom & macy's were both AWFUL; I can't even remember what were there now!
Anyhow...on my way to McDonald's I went into BORDERS & looked around for about 1 hour.
It was so COOL & I bought a "Total Body Conditioning" DVD, which was $8.13(with a 25% discount).
I was s~~~o happy that I got it because it was like Body Balance class in Alexander, which I used to take back in Taiwan.
The last stop of today's trip was McDonald's.
I spent $8.13 for my dinner, which contained a premiun grilled chicken classic sandwich, a pack of fries & a chocolate milkshake, plus a $1 McChicken
Before I got home, I finished the fries & milkshake and I thought I was going to EXPLODE.(HELP~)
So, in a word, I had a ok day today,  because I still have lots of things to do.
Can't believe it's Monday AGAIN tomorrow!!!

  • Grocery shopping day

一轉眼居然又到了星期四
本來想說把Position Paper寫一些再出去的.可是一早起來發覺外面出著.就忍不住提早出門
又本來想說早去早回.但一到那邊又開始到處亂看.所以前後大概花了3個小時來回
今天的心得就是多走幾步路.真的有可能買到便宜一點的東西的.我之前實在是太懶惰了
而且Walgreen實在是太令我失望了.既沒有cheese.bacon.牛奶還比別家貴50 cent
總之我背東西提東西到快瘋掉.所以賞自己一杯STARBUCKS的strawberries & cream frappuccino
就在我上MUNI前要開始大快朵頤的時候.一旁等公車的先生就很"好心"地跟我說那一杯有2000 calories
不過之後就要改成星期二grocery shopping了.因為星期四要到downtown CCSF做coach
今天大補貨真是開心啊~不過我還是覺得薯葉跟通菜都太難處理了(薯葉就是地瓜葉.通菜就是空心菜啦~)或許我只有吃青江菜的命...
晚上我打算做麻婆豆腐加上腐乳空心菜.如果做成功了再拍照片放上來...如果沒有成功...那就直接進肚子好了~

  • Monthly Report in SF

這篇文章不知道要寫幾天才會寫得完...anyway...
來到San Francisco已經超過1個月了.學生的生活也邁入第5個星期
很多人在MSN上遇見我.一定是問我在這裡生活還習慣嗎
我的回答通常都是還好.因為真的是還好
各方面當然沒有在台灣方便.不過這裡已經算是要什麼就有什麼了
交通上困難了一點倒是真的.沒有車就跟沒有腳一樣.走路走到我快發瘋
三餐幾乎都是自己煮.每天都在想怎麼樣用一樣的食材做出不一樣的料理(要小抱怨一下的就是這裡的東西份量都很大.甜度更是誇張.有點吃不消)
至於住的方面沒有一開始那麼開心了.因為住進來後才漸漸發覺一些我不能接受的地方...
比方說地下室真的很臭.洗衣服限制多.室友會抽煙.吃完東西他們都不洗碗.帶朋友回來又很吵...
然後這一陣子又發生了好多事(我的美奶滋.麥香雞.醋接連不見...)
雖然需要到處看房子然後把一堆東西pack又unpack就真的全身發軟.可是我是真的在考慮搬出去了
天氣方面我也快被整瘋:陽光.霧.風...亂來一通.所以我超怕冬天的來臨
剛好那天Mark哥哥問我來這裡最surprised的地方是什麼.我的回答是上課方式
西方人習慣於主動思考.在課堂上總是踴躍發言(雖然有些我聽了真是想揍人!老師明明10秒鐘前才說過啊!然後有些又好像是為了發言而發言的.聽起來有點stupid).也敢challenge老師說法上與自己思考上相異之處
相較之下.東方人被動地接受老師給予的全部.在這裡似乎就有點難生存
上課給我的壓力很大.我一天到晚都在想著打退堂鼓.閱讀的份量超多.我又討厭寫作.然後我不知道怎麼樣專心
完全就是一個糟字啊啊啊啊@_@
我一直都在想將來的我會很懷念這段在San Francisco的生活嗎?No idea at all...
不過我很確定的就是我很幸運有爸媽借我錢讓我可以出國.可是在這裡其實也並沒有讓我特別開心
我想每個人都有自己屬於的那個地方.也許到目前為止我還沒有發現這裡讓我到不想離開的好...
或許其它地方可能更好.但總之我來了這裡.就盡力適應這裡.感受一切
常常回想起台灣.覺得變得好遙不可及.我並不是說對於台灣的記憶完全消逝無蹤喔!
只是回想起一年前那樣瘋狂痛苦的我.都好像是好久好久以前的事了...
那時候的我糊塗無知.討厭這整個世界...另一方面我更討厭自己每天去上課的時候都戴著那張虛假的面具...
現在想起來實在有點難以接受...
Anyhow...以上...就是我從開始寫到開放大概花了2個星期有的月報...謝謝收看!

  • All about COOKING...

我一定要來說說
在美國真的不是只有cheese的
我發誓
昨天晚上我用現有的東西弄了晚餐吃
首先我把剩下能用的九層塔拿來煎了個蛋
放在擺了buuter lettuce的吐司上
然後再加上了起司
因為蕃茄太大顆而且中午吃了所以就沒切
整個三明治就是白.黃.綠三種顏色
起司融掉超好吃
然後我煎了1/4塊豆腐(因為煮泡菜鍋的時候用了1/2塊實在爆多)
再炒了一株青江菜加上2朵香菇(也是因為煮泡菜鍋用了4朵吃得很難受-_-)
算是很豐盛又兼具營養價值的一餐
在這裡買東西的壞處就是東西都超大要不就超多
比方說蛋一口氣買了個18顆
薯葉.青江菜.butter lettuce一買就是超大一包
我只好一個星期吃一種
然後那天去Irving St.買菜的時候差那麼一點點就要買肉了
可是聞到那些味道實在是令人不敢恭維
我看我的咖哩大概只會有馬鈴薯而已
至於鮪魚罐頭呢?!我到現在都還沒找到
因為本人不會用開罐器的緣故所以只能找那種易開罐的
我又不想妥協買了普通的那種然後去麻煩我房東幫我開@_@
最後說說培根
我想我可能有一陣子不想吃了吧?!
不過話又說回來培根其實很好用
火腿是比不上的

  • Weird, though...

I went to see Dr. Taylor yesterday morning, just to find out if I could waive 6 units of literature.
Thankfully, he said yes, based on my transcript.
This would save me NT60,000 something, which is AWESOME!
Later, I went grocery shopping @ Irving St. again & this time I didn't waste much time there because it was too cold.
The only thing I still can't get used to is the strange weather here.
It was sunny & warm in the morning, yet it tuned cold & windy in the afternoon.
I rearranged my room in a BIG way, so my room looks bigger & more SPACIOUS now.
I think I'm going to get a sofa bed from IKEA, as well as 1 or 2 cushions.
Then, I can proudly present you with my LOVELY room.
I made myself a HUGE bowl of kimchi soup with noodles for dinner.
Really YUMMY, but my belly was that close to EXPLODE~
Waking up really early this morning, I made a BLT for lunch.
(I put an egg & a piece of cheese, too!)
The stupid thing was I got everything ready except for the two textbooks.
When I found this out, it was only 15 minutes for the class to start.
Anyhow...I kinda walked really really fast and then ran back to my room & tried to get back to school a.s.a.p.
However, it still took me 25 minutes; sadly, the instructor didn't use the books today!(Darn it!)
Winding up my 2nd week with an interview for the project SHINE.
I'm going to be a coach @ Downtown Campus, City College of San Francisco, every Thursday, from 1:30 to 4:00, starting from Sep. 27.
The class I signed up for is a culinary class, with the preference of Cantonese or Mandarin.
Hopefully it will be interesting enough & I can get something valuable from it.
I have a feeling that every day I go to school with this happy feeling inside, but on my way back I somehow feel MELANCHOLY...
Really weird, don't you think?
But as soon as I got home, I found one thing which was really really LUDICROUS!
If you pay close attention, you'd definitely figure it out!
But not too close...all my readers...I don't like PAPARAZZI!

  • Scratch

I don't have any classes today, but I went to school this morning, trying SO HARD to finish my 1st assignment: collecting 3 greetings!
I had to OVERHEAR people talking, memorize as much as possible & write it down.
Kinda frustrated, but later I found out that I worried too much because what I got is no worse than others'.
Lynn, Yi-juen & I had lunch @ Cafe Bistro inside NORDSTROM downtown.
They came to San Jose from San Diego & spent 2 days here in San Francisco.
It was really great to get together & most important of all, it was Lynn's treat this time.
I'll treat you back when I go to San Diego lah...HA HA!

The weather was NICE this afternoon, SUNNY & WARM, very comfortable.
When I walked downtown,I felt truly HAPPY for the first time after I came here.
Weather really MATTERS!!!
I think I've already adapted to most of the things here, which is COOL!
Tonight, I made myself miso noodles with seaweed.
Again, I have to say, I'm totally born to be an excellent cook! HA~
