Hey yall. I have Internet access. D: But wtf man, I can only access Chinese sites and email. Oh, and Tabulas, which is random. Everywhere else I can't access. That means I can't get to your Xanga, Riss. :(

So people, tell me how life's been for yall, if anything huge has happened, etc. I hope I have Internet access in Beijing cuz maybe I can access sites from there? Idk, the unaccessible-ness could be because I'm staying in a little sorta unknown area now.

Oh, Youtube works.

It is so. Freakin. Hot. In here. No joke. I AM DYING. Basically, you can only wear one layer of clothing but you know how I am. If I'm not lazy, then I'll layer it up. But I'm not lazy most of the time here. So I layer. Which I'm doing right now. And I'm melting. Poor me.

If anyone knows of any famous asian people going to Beijing July 15-August 5, please tell who, when, and where exactly (Just saying Beijing's not gonna cut it :x). I can't really type someone's name into Baidu and get all this info. :( I wanna chill with the asian people while I'm somewhere I can get access to this. K-pop people sometimes go to Beijing. I think. D: I'll just go for autographs or something and sell 'em to yall.

Also, if you don't hear from me during the dates listed above, that means I got no Intarnet access in Beijing. :(

Hey guess what, yall? I haven't read summer reading ever since I got here. :DV Two books I gotta read. Wish me luck with about a month left.

D: Sherwood and The Rocket Summer are gonna be there too if you care. Are you friends with The Academy Is's Myspace by any chance? Cuz pre-sale info's gonna be bulletined to you on the 10th. DD: Which is like tomorrow or something. WANT.

Let's talk about what I've done in China so far.
Or actually how things have been ever since I was ON MY WAY HERE.

We wake up at 5 am so we can make it to the airport about an hour earlier cuz you know, airport baggage check and all that junk takes a while. We get through that fine. When we get to our gate, we find out our flight's gonna be delayed an hour because the crew's not here yet. D: Mommy says it's okay cuz when we arrive at San Fran, we'd still have to wait about 3 hours for our next flight, so waiting one less hour there isn't so bad. So we wait our extra hour here and it's time to board the plane.

I hate airplanes so I want this thing to take off asap so I can get off. WELL WTF. They find out the engine's leaking so we have to wait 'til they repair it. So I'm sitting on the plane really really pissed off and hoping they'll fix this crap right away. WE SIT ON THE PLANE FOR THREE HOURS TILL THEY FINALLY TOLD US TO GET OFF. Because it was gonna take longer to fix. WELL GUESS WHAT. THAT MEANS WE'VE MISSED OUR SAN FRAN FLIGHT TO SHANGHAI. THX.
Them: Sorry ppls. We'll give you free lunch then. If yall are flying intertational, yall've missed your flight. :( Go to SanFran and ask them that we're backing yall up for a flight asap, kk? BUTTTT, yall are gonna have to get all yall's luggage again and re-check in everything! =DD
SO we do all that which takes about 2 hours and the plane's fixed in about 2 more hours. We get on and yay, the plane works and we get there normally.

We wait in the Customer Service line for 3-4 hours. First, there were 3 people working there, but then two left because they WANTED A BREAK, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS CLEARLY OBVIOUS THAT THERE WERE SO MANY MORE CUSTOMERS NEEDING THEIR SERVICE IE. THE FREAKIN' LONG LINE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM. CUSTOMER SERVICE FTW HOW THE HECK'D THEY LAND THIS JOB WITH NO REGARDS TO CUSTOMERS.
Anyways, yeah, eventually everyone in the line becomes friends as we all cuss out SanFran's customer service. Finally our turn comes and the man tells us to go to Quality Inn for our free hotel rooms and gives us vouchers for free dinner and breakfast.

We aboard the shuttle and ask the driver to bring us to Quality Inn then.
Driver: Which Quality Inn, sweetie? There're three in this area.
WELL FTW&WTF&FIFTYOTHERTHINGSICOULDSAY. The man told us nothing of this sort. So the driver calls up all three Quality Inns and they all say that they're either completely booked or they don't give out free rooms. Well, my mom had just called her SanFran friend to meet us as Quality Inn so we tell the driver to drop us off at the QInn she's at. Mommy and friend decide to go back to the airport to clear this up because we seriously have no freakin' idea what to do. So Friend drives for about half an hour because she kinda gets lost on the way back to the airport. D: Finally after fifty u-turns and whatnot, we arrive and WE GET OUR ROOMS! D: We go and are happy now.

The next morning when we're going for breakfast, we realize that they never gave us our food vouchers for this hotel. D:

After that everything was smooth sailing but shit man, everyone was just freakin' worn out after all this. DX I seriously hope tomorrow's flight to Beijing is totally a-ok because I'm on my own there.

 

Hey Aura, can you tell me all the details to this AP stuff because I seriously don't know anything besides what you told me?

Ooh, in Xiamen, there was this cute guy at this one store and like, I was with Anthony and you know how he's the most adorable little thing ever so the guy followed us around and then he smiled at him and I smiled at him and he smiled at me and then I forgot how to speak Chinese at that one moment and I said, "Hello." Then Mommy said to leave cuz she didn't find anything suitable. xO I clearly fail.

I was gonna write this longa$s entry about what's happened so far here in detail but I'll save that for another time. D:

I got a 5 on the Comp Sci AP. WUT. What does that get rid of for college?
I just went on the UT site and it says I get credit for CS 305J. Yeah, idk. D: Explain?

Um, I can't think of anything else I owned.

A Farewell to Arms is seriously boringgggg. I skipped the first two chapters. And like the rest of Book One. D: The only thing I caught was that the main char and Rinaldi are gay cuz they kiss each other all the time. I have to go now. DD:

BOARDING SCHOOL IS SO MUCH FREAKIN' FUN. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT.

I could tell everything that's happened so far but it'd be too much. I'll try to keep it short then.

When I first got here, I got really confused cuz everything was explained in Chinese and I knew NOTHING...

Well, ok, I'll keep it REALLY short.

1) Hot guys in China!! D: Going to SAT prep boarding school. Me and Cathy (girl I met here) crash their rooms everyday. They're totally cool about it though. We all hangout and stuff. You're not allowed to crash the opposite sex's rooms but we do it every night. We have to first hide in the bathroom when they do room checks and then we have to run back upstairs so we'll be there for room checks too and then we just sneak back downstairs. We stay up forever. Everyone here's totally cool. I'm pretty chill myself, yo.

2) I learned some Chinese. :DD Hua Chi. Men Sao. YAYYY.

3) They like KTV too! DD: OMG totally for me, man. We're planning on sneaking out to downtown Beijing tonight to go to a really good KTV and then maybe just spend the night there. Doesn't really matter cuz class starts at 2 tomorrow so we have plenty of time. I don't think it's gonna be happening though cuz Wei's not going which is making Cathy half not wanting to go and also Jin's probably not gonna go either making Cathy not wanting to go at all. And I'm not gonna be the only girl there besides Jenny. So I don't think it's gonna happen. Cathy says that they won't be able to hold their liquor there but wtf, when we went to KTV a few nights ago, only Yao and Jenny got piss drunk. Everyone else just got happily drunk; no functioning problems whatsoever. Dude, that KTV night we had, they poured the beer in the orange juice bottle and I mistakened it for orange juice of course and drank it. D: I DON'T DRINK, not even a little. It was horrible. I had a stomachache the whole night.

gotta go. tell yall all about it when i get back i guess. it's either to jie shi in english. I know, I'm speaking chinese yo.

I can't believe it. We're almost halfway over with boarding school. I seriously don't want to leave. We're all like BFFs but we all live in completely different places. I don't wanna leave these guys. =(

Yeah, it's 2:35am but whatever. I don't ever sleep til about 3am anyway cuz I'm always up in the guys' room. I don't care about getting caught anymore cuz the teacher's already caught me every single day and she doesn't do anything about it, just as long we don't have any babies popping out randomly, everything's totally all right.

Today I officially became one of the guys. D: They told me themselves, I hang out with them so much, I'm pretty much a guy now. D: Either that, or a mouse. D= No wonder I'm still single.

Me, Cathy, Jin, and Crystal used to always hang out together, us four. Now we've all split up into different groups and you don't really see us together anymore. I catch up with Cathy at night. We talk about stuff we did that day but it's not really the same as it was when we were first here, always together.

Cathy hangs out with the main main main guys, the ones with girls too. Jin hangs out with Michael and sometimes Swan. I'm with the guys that are invited to the parties but don't really go cuz we're chill like that. Plus, all they do is drink there and the director of the school already warned us: if she catches us with alcohol again, parents are being called. I go to their parties but they want me to get drunk cuz they said it'd be awesome to see me drunk and I'm like no shit yall. And then I leave. Crystal, she's a loner. She usually stays up in our room most of the day. :(

Oh yeah, the reason I'm here is for SAT prep.

I kinda don't bother going to class early anymore cuz it starts at 9am but I wake up at 10 because of my late sleeping hour so yeah, I'm basically an hour late. And the breakfast hall closes at 9 so I have to eat the crackers that we have in the room along with some water. D:

Bill deleted the super-awesome funny pics I took of him!! D< I was so mad at him that I attacked him in the taxi on the way back from Beijing. :((( It was a really good pic. :( He was like, "You can take other ones later." :( They won't be as good as the original though! D<

Excuse me if I randomly talk in Chinese when I come back. D: Iris, you'll understand what I'm saying, right?? I'll also be dling a load of Jay Chou and Wang Lee Hom songs.

Today I have reserved the day for us four girls to hang out together properly because we hadn't had a proper hangout with just us four for a while now. But Cathy has to first go visit her mom in Beijing and Jin has to go do something. So it's me and Crystal right now. We'll probably have to wait til 3 though cuz that's when Cathy comes back. Plus, today was a good day for this cuz everyone's out to KTV and I TURNED DOWN THEIR INVITATION. Amazing, right? So we four won't be distracted by any groups.

Oh wait. Crystal's going to SAT2 class at around 3:30. DX And it ends around 9. AhhhhhHHHhh. I guess it'll just be the three of us then.

Yesterday, everyone was kinda split up-ish cuz there was some drama. I stayed with Bill most of the time cuz it was safer that way. And I hung out with the HK guys cuz they're pretty cool. XD They freaked me out yesterday because they almost freakin' burned the room down with their bug incinerating tactics. They lit the lighter and then sprayed bug spray on it, creating a huge fireball. I screamed. They kept doing it to freak me out.

Go again.

Um, that girls' day never worked out and I ended spending that day hanging out with Bill yet again. D:

So much drama happened again and now there's more group splitting. GAHHHH.

I got in trouble yesterday with Ban Zhu Ren cuz I'm never in my room when she does room checks. I'm always in the guys' room when I'm not supposed to be. D: Plus, I wasn't there yesterday cuz me, Bill, and Michael decided to chill at KFC. At 10pm.

I was pretty baller yesterday. OK, not exactly, but I was totally pimpin' with my awesome cap (courtesy of Chun Yi) and sunglasses. And the weird tie from Cathy that I tied around my forehead. :3 Then I took off the tie and when we went to eat dinner. The guys pretended I was a movie star and I used that to my advantage to treat them to dinner. :33 Yesss.

Today, we had freakin' three classes. I only went to the first two cuz wtf, the third class ended at 10pm and there was no way I was going.

Hey people. I just finished taking a shower. I haven't taken a shower before bed for a while now. I always just collapse to sleep and then take one in the morning. There's nothing else to talk about anymore and I'm totally awake cuz I just woke up from a nap in the guys' room and it's 2:38am. D: I can't sleepppp. Seriously, 9am class tomorroww. Someone's gonna be late as usual.

EDIT: Seriously, man. When I go on the computer here, the only sites I go on are Yahoo, Gmail, and then Tabulas. After I'm done with all three, I have nothing else to do. DD: I kinda fail. I just sit here staring at the screen.
