#049: La vie par les étoiles

(1) A guy in my Chinese class told me I didn't look Chinese. Instead, I looked like an African-American + Spanish (?) mix. I told my father. He told me to tell him to shut up, which, coming from 爸爸, meant he was clearly insulted by the fact that anyone would call me that. I was pretty surprised, because I've never received such a description before, but I wasn't offended. Though now that he's added me on Facebook, I've put off approving it.

(2) Speaking of which, I've never had eight friend requests sitting in my inbox before. I think being at NTU is some kind of lucky charm, besides the fact that I don't know these people, and am still debating on whether or not to accept them solely on the basis of mutual friends.

(3) Fact: eighteen people in a dorm room meant for four does not work.

(4) I am faithful with bringing my umbrella everywhere I go. No matter if it's a short walk to the LS building, I almost always have it with me. But the one day I'm late for class and run out without it, it's raining when I step outside. 新生大樓 to 大一女 is essentially 1/2 of the way across campus. By foot, it's a long walk, so I half ran and half walked back, and came home wet. Life has a way of working against me, just like the one night I didn't do my LP, Kerwin checked. One night. I never missed an LP or reading notes check besides that one.

(5) Recently, I've had a lot of trouble with people I don't know. It's nothing stalker-like, but I guess it borders on it. I won't elaborate, but it's been causing me quite some 煩惱 and I just hope the whole thing passes soon—of course I have to tell my father, who is being extremely protective with me, especially because I'm a daughter, I suppose.

(6) Taipei 台北 is gorgeous at night. Take a look for yourself: I took this picture on the rooftop of the LS building when B99 went to the roof on 中秋節.

Until next time~
