i have been extremely busy with school and work...sigh...poor me :(
This is the first semester for me at USC. even though i have prepared myself to study hard and work hard, i still feel really overwhelming about the huge transition. everything seems different from community college, more white kids, more rich kids, more social events, more parties, more and more... sometimes, i feel like don't belong to there, for some reason.
its been two month since the semester started, right now, i feel so much better after meeting some good friends on campus.
they are always there for me, whenever i need their help :P 

well, here i just wanna tell all the people in china that care about me:

Love Love u lovely people... :P plz take good care of urself...

Jia Jia ^_^

       Haha!! eventually i got myself a car--my little Honda Civic Ex on Feb 27, 2006.
Even though my friend told me honda is one of the top stolen list, i still believe it is the best choice for me. it was not a big car at all, coupe, 4 cyl, and 1.6L.

    The previous owner of this car was a japanese guy, but he takes good care of it. it was extra clean, neat and strong.
compared to the auction, i believe my baby is much better than anyone there. more than 90% cars in the auction are crap!

      Anyways, from now on, i don't have to depend on my mom's schedule to go anywhere. haha, it feels so cooooooooool!! more importantly, i have to drive very very very carefully!! safety is always the most important!!

红色--为什么只有鲜血的颜色才能证明我的爱？
               为什么只有那刺目的颜色喷射而出时，才发现真实的自己？
               还是不要了，热情，红玫瑰足以。。。

金色--金色，是爱情的物质，奢华又脆弱。
               金色，是爱情发生时，不可言说的纯粹。
               但一切又如此迷蒙，美丽，不可捉摸，无法用既有感知或贫乏的文字描述
               爱情带领我们通向神秘的未知，像一首诗的诞生。。。

紫色--爱情是所有少女的革命，爱情是尖叫，爱情把门用力摔上，
               爱情是重金属，爱情是世界的尽头，
               爱情无法接受其他的可能性，爱情是绝对。

绿色--多年以后，所有被命运操纵的人们，在一个有星星的夜晚，走到窗前
               曾经的泪水，已经结成一片美丽的绿色海洋。。。
               曾经在公车上想象一个画面：车子在转弯的地方滑出路面
               即将冲进太平洋，在落海的这五秒钟要做什么？
               我要打电话给你，听你说“喂”，然后你可以听见海藻的声音
               鱼的声音，还有我一生一世的呼喊。。。

蓝色--你看到树的颜色，你看见风的颜色，你看见大海，你看见天空      
               爱情是你爱上对方的赘肉，如果他是胖的，胖是美
               爱情是你爱上对方的锁骨，如果他是瘦的，瘦是美
               如果他爱上了另一个海洋，你会当他的舵手
               如果他爱上另一片天空，你会帮他飞翔
               因为你爱他，你看见蓝色，终其一生，你总有一种想哭的冲动。。。

黑色--黑色，冷漠的颜色，还爱来爱去？
               要爱尽管去爱，反正是捕风捉影。不爱请别纠结，反正也不曾获得。
               身体是真实的，汗是真实的，痛是真实的
               但爱情的语言充满谬误。。。

白色--为何如此多的爱恋是从热恋而富有激情的色彩开始
               结束，却总是在那透明的泪滴！！
               白色有的时候不是纯洁，而是完结。。。

我现在的爱情是什么颜色呢？热情的红色？还是冷漠的黑色？应该是紫色吧，因为没有红色的热烈，也没有黑色的冷酷。
现在的爱情是我所期待的吗？好像不完全。因为总感觉有一层无形的墙把我们隔开，即便我们已经很亲密。。。
不管如何，我已经开始准备好将你满满的塞进我的脑海里，心里，也渴望你和我有同样的感受。
这次的付出不知道会换来什么样的结果，但已经努力的从过去痛苦的经历中走出来就不会再回头，努力的向前走吧！
明天永远会比今天更出色！！

Yesterday was the most exciting day i've ever had during this year, meanwhile, i also learned something about american school traditions, such as this so-called "Homecoming"!!

what the heck is that? hehe, actually, i still don't know exactly what that is now, but i kinda have some ideas about what is going on. Homecoming is a school tradition, especially high school, some previous student will be coming back to school and everybody just celebrate this holiday. my college is kinda special than other schools cuz only us kept this tradition as far as i knew. ok, let's talk about what i have done yesterday. wow, make a long story short, my club made a huge, beautiful, brilliant, most creative float, which includes a lot of themes from all over the world that were painted and composed by pieces. guess what! we got the first prize "best over-all" in the competition, wow, everybody was so happy yesterday! me too, no, actually i felt even more excited cuz i did the dance also, hehe, that's another funny part. four of us pretended to be four cute puppies, and whenever music was on, we would come to live and dance. actually, i didn't mean to do this, but when the leader asked for volunteers, i said "ok". hehe, so i can't say "no" no more. anyways, that's in the morning and afternoon.

at night time, there was a homecoming dance. this was my first time went to an official dance with the people who have my age. before, i used to go to mom's graduation dance, but that was totally different cuz everyboday there were around 30s and 40s, almost nobody has my age, so it's pretty boring. however, last night was true college dance. we danced from 9:30 until almost 12 o'clock, hehe, it was awesome, and i really enjoyed it! unfortunately, i danced too much last night, therefore, my back, legs, arms, neck, feet are killing me this morning when i tried to get up. sigh.....

Hahahahahaha!! today is really special for me cuz i made the first Japanese Sushi in my life!! Do u guys like Sushi? if u do, hopefully there would be an opportunity that i can make it for u guys. i have never thought about that someday, i could make some sorts of Japanese food. hehe, but, since i worked in a Japanese restaurant, i knew them better and better, and started loving them. quite frankly, i realized that it's not that hard to make sushi, as long as u know the materials, it won't be undoable. besides, i found out that it was really kinda exciting to make some food that people liked to eat. actually, right now, i am just a sushi helper, not the main chef, so i still need to learn many many things. but, i really enjoyed it, and it's pretty fun to work with different people. even though it might be really tired sometimes, it gave another totally different life experience.

oh, my gosh~~finally, the horrible sociology midterm has gone~~! i have never felt so unconfident for any test since i came here. maybe because i am both working and studying right now, and i really need some time to get used to it. quite frankly, i like this kind of daily life cuz it seems more meaningful for me. before, i always played with the computer to kill time, but right now, i started feeling that how can be a day so short? i have a lot of stuff to do, but i don't have enough time, hehe~this is exactly what i have been looking forward for a long long time~~
even though i always felt over exausted, i enjoyed being busy with all kind of work, and i experienced a totally different lifestyle, which makes me truly exciting~

thank god that my music teacher was not a jerk after a long time struggling to find information for the research paper, i felt totally frustrated (to be continued)

what a beautifully sunshining day~~ after sitting in Starbucks for about three hours, my friends and i came out an idea to kill the time: go to the movie~ actually, that was the first time that i went to movie theater since i came here. before, i was wondering how would an american movie theater look like, hehe~~today i got a chance to check it out!

it was not a big theater, and it had about four separated showing halls, which could contain around one hundred people, i guess. i really liked the way they decorating it cuz it looked very colorful and cute. they had a lot of fancy stuff in order to attract some little kids; besides, the most impressive images were those huge posters cuz they were everywhere in the main hall.

today i saw the movie called "Dark Water", which was a pretty scary one. i felt weird after finishing the movie, maybe because i didn't like the ending, when the little girl's mom died, but, anyways, it was fun, and next time, i would definitely see a comedy, which could make me feel a whole lot better, hehe~~

哈哈，还是用中文写日志爽阿！每次写英文论文都要头痛，不知道该写什么，手里抱着两本字典都不管用啊！没什么特别的，只是想跟大家分享一下我去参加的那个演唱会。

http://www.freedomcelebration.org/video/index.html

这是那个演唱会录像的地址，不过不是我录的，里面也没有我，我只是站在台下看而已。这个录像也不是很长，只是简单的介绍乐队之类的。嗬嗬，不过还是希望各位亲人喜欢啊！！

how did they arrange the time schedule? there was no break between fall and summer semester, that sucks~~now, i know why the american students don't like to go to school during the summer, hehe~

i am taking two classes this session, music and sociology! music is ok cuz we just study some basic concepts about music, such as music history and stuff like that. however, sociology seems pretty hard for me! today, we talked about what's the sociology? the teacher said, sociology was the scientific study about how people interacted among each other as individuals...oh, my gosh! it sounds so technical, doesn't it? anyways, i have no choice about classes. luckily, the teacher was kinda sweet cuz her homeworks r not that hard, and she is really willing to help students; another thing makes me like this class is that i can take this class with my best friend, oh, yeah~~

by the way, congratulations to my dear aijung!
