I am currently hanging out in the land with the happiest celebration on earth - World Disney in Orlando. Escaped the hurricane in Houston since i left there last tuesday to Orlando...and I am so glad that nothing really happen to my friends in there as well, although they were in the traffic from Houston to San Antonio for 20 hours (normally it only takes 3 hours)...anyway, my next stop will be Las Vegas! ^___^

I got my BS degree last may, and now I am taking summer courses to complete my BA degree for August. Summer is getting hotter and hotter in here, and I really hate this weather. Well, at least for next year, I am not going to suffer from this hot weather anymore, since I have finally made up my mind to go to UK for my masters degree. Yea...I will start my Msc in Economics and Finance this fall. So I will be in the cold weather for a while, anyone visiting UK send me an email! Anyone visiting UK give me a call!

I have a new website for pictures: http://spaces.msn.com/members/sailorpuppy/

I am so proud of myself. Finish Business Policy paper 2 days before the deadline, our group is just great. Even thought I had to stay up on a SATURDAY NIGHT to finish my part, for a 70 pages paper, we did great. Came back from the library, and saw many groups still working on it... poor them, may have to stay up tonight.

I still got a bunch of things to do before I graduate, I will have to make a list somehow...

Yoon is coming to my graduation, and my boyfriend may come too...so I am happy! ^___^

Chinese New Year was not celebrated until last friday when my friends and me went to eat super Chinese buffet, it was really good, xixi~~ and we discovered this delicius cheese cake that taste like ice cream!

Then we went to watch Hitch, it was so so in my opinion, but most of my friends like it. Anyway, my boyfriend sent me flowers for Valentine's day, xixi! Got some pictures in here!

I still cannot decide whether I should get both BS and BA degree upon my graduation in May. If I wanna get both, I still need to take 5 credits during summer. Yeap, I am only 5 credits short to get a duo degree. I talked to many professors, and they suggested me not to do it, because a duo degree is worth less in the US, it is not gonna help me to find a job. But geez, only 5 more credits, then a profesors suggested me to take those 5 credits in a community college during summer which costs less about 5 times less than the tuition in Trinity. So final decision: 'I think wil apply for a duo degree, if later on I decided not to get the duo degree, I still cannot withdraw m application"

Other than that, my life in here has not changed at all (well, it has never changed since I was a freshman). But the fearful thing is that I have marked 4 presentations for this month starting on tuesday. This is pretty stresses, although I like presentations more than any other forms of assessment, five presentations are too much to handle in 3 weeks. Wish me good luck!

I made a list of "academic" things that I have to finish before I can fly back home.

1. Presentation: buy report (group)

2: Study for Econ analysis of law test #2 (individual of course)

3: Presentation: Sell report (individual)

4: Presentation for Econ of government (individual)

5: Presentation for Financial Policy (group)

6: Econ analysis of law term paper

7: numerous homework and readings for the rest of semester

8: finals

Fly home! By the way, my boyfriend is coming with me, xixi!~

Gees, I need to get myself used to updating my xanga page. I will try to do it at least once a week. For the past 10 days, i have just been TOO busy to even take a look on the comments that my friends leave me (by the way, dear friends, thanks for leaving comments.

All I can remember from those past 10 days is that I slept in an average of 4 hours (excluding weekends). Since I really need at least 7 hours of sleep everyday in order for my brain to be in good condition, so as you can imaging, it was disaster period.

Are college seniors that busy? or it is just me who cannot bever speed up on any type of homework or study or paper.~~~ I really need to learn how to do things a little faster...any suggestions?

I finally got a new camara (after I dropped my gorgeous ex digital camara into a RIVER)~ well it is not really mine, but I got to keep it for at least 2 months! My boyfriend wanted me to buy it for him over Ebay in US, so for entire 2 weeks, I was searching for bargaings, and finally got one.

$405 include shipping cost!

Although the price is not as low as I expected, but still a good one compare to $499 on a street price.

Camara: Sony DSC-T11

LDC: 2.5 inches

5.1 MP

It is actually a pretty good camara, although I do not really like electronics made by Sony (they are trying to be monopolies), I think T11 is a good camara for non-professionals, but the memory stick is TOO expensive, and with a 5.1 MP camara, Sony only includes a a 32MB memory stick!! yeap, Sony likes to make jokes with its customers (that is diminishing the marginal benefit of individual consumers by lowering the price of the camara, and raising the cost of its MUST have accessories!!) So I am still looking for a bargain for a Memory Stick of 256MB.
