School has started! T____T... haiz... but it was quite relaxing than i thought...haha...and also quite relaxing compared to Singapore school life...I will have 3 lessons everyday... One English lesson from morning 10-11 then a music lesson on American Pop Music from 11-12...then i will go for lunch until 1 when i will have my math lesson until 2... For Mondays and Wednesday, i will have Reading night classes from 7-9.30pm...but for the other days, math will be my last lesson! hehe... actually, the education system here is totally different...i think this is somewhat like University life...because everyone will have different classes and you have to sign up for your own classes and if you are on waitinglist(like me who is on waitinglist for math classes), which means the class is full and alot of people has signed up for this class,you will have to go and see the instructor to let you into that class... So for now, i'm in the math class already...

Actually,i am the hard-working one...because one of my classmates has only one lesson or that day and she can go home! Sooo good...haha...but of course, she will finish slower than me bacause her credits will be lesser than me for each quater(3 months). For us, we have to sign up the classes that is required for business...and each suject will worth an amount of credits and you have to have at least 90 credits to finish this first two year's syllabus in college...So for me, for this quarter, i have 20 credits(4 subjects)..and at this rate, i am able to graduate in next year's june then break for three months when i will transfer to the Univerity of Washington or other Universities...

The classes were relaxing because its like chatting sessions for the teacher and the students...So one hour is easy to pass by... and for the night class, it was supposed to end at 9.30pm, but we can go at 8.12pm! I was so shocked...but that's only for the first two lessons...that means this week, the two lessons were real short! haha...

My music teacher was really the Ang Mo version of Mdm Lei... In fact, i think he is 10 times faster than Mdm Lei ! i was so amazed at the speed that he is talking...haha...In our music class, there are only 5 Asians...all the others are Americans! Phew! i was a littled startled when i first came to that class...Oh yeah! One thing that i did not mention...the lesson is usually 50 minutes...because teachers will give you 10 minutes grant to walk to your next class which can be blocks away...So its really not as stressful as Singapore school life where the next teacher will make full use of the whole hour and the next teacher be waiting outside your classroom once the time is up...haha...

For math lesson, i find it quite challenging...because we were supposed to know how to plot a graph using a calculator...and the terms used are very different from Singapore...maybe its because Singapore is English style of teaching while here is the American style of teaching...

I've just taken my Reading test and it was sooo hard! (Btw, reading lessons are actually english lessons) we had to do 80 vocabulary questions in 15 minutes! Siao! of course i didn't finish...haha...Comprehension too! We had to read three passages and answer 33 questions in 20 minutes! I was like,' Are you crazy?' haha....So each question cannot exceed a minute and i still haven't count the time needed to read the passages! OMG...haha...

If you are wondering why is there a such a cute dog picture,haha...its actually my file...cute right?! haha...i've got so much to write... but i'll just call it for the day...haha..since i've already written so much...lol.

My dreams will blossom...
