Evening in heaven

After a long day of work & endless hours of discussion in my evening class, I come back home to a FUNCTIONING AC!!!

The last week & one day had been, not necessarily miserable, but sweaty & hot. The thought of not having an AC on the day of my move in made me rather upset just because I didn’t feel like I should pay this much to have a non-functioning AC. Nevertheless, after a week-long of staring & annoying apartment staffs, it finally works. I only wished this would’ve happened when parents were around since they suffered the unfortunate wrath of broken AC.

In contrast to previous days, I am feeling much more energetic & happy. I might credit that to the finally-working-AC. Maybe tonight I will not fall asleep as I attempt to read some materials for school. I felt so pathetic being vulnerable to non-AC all these days & became pessimistic about everything. I seriously wonder how some countries or people way in the back would live without AC. Learning lesson has achieved in me. Hopefully I will appreciate more to the things around me.

As always, work has been extremely fun. I love doing all sorts of programming for students and my first showcase will appear next week. So tons of emails and phone calls with other departments are the highlight of my work these days. Class is going interesting – I’m starting to learn how my fellow cohorts perceive certain issues in higher education differently, even though it was something I formally disagreed. It’s taking a lot of patience to accept other people’s opinion while trying to integrate theirs to my beliefs. Education, in some ways, seems so subjective in its nature; I’m looking forward to the research aspect of all this to wrap my thoughts around better.

And I’m trying to get use to the no-exams-and-all-writing-papers type of grad school.

 

Pictures of my new & wonderful place will be posted soon!!
