getting warmer and warmer

From the weather, I can tell, spring's coming! Few weeks before, I used to wear at least three layers of clothes. Yesterday, one layer was more than enough. I noticed that I was even sweating indoor. Couldn't imagine how would it be during Summer.

Somebody, please.

Last Friday, a group of twelve from UNL (University of Nebraska Lincoln) came to Drake. It was something like an interaction between two Uni's Act Sci major students. For no reason, I hosted one of the students to stay overnight. The student I was hosting named Greg. As usual, we did some brief introduction about each other. Came across this question, why did you choose actuarial science. Recently, I've been asking a lot of Act Sci Student about this question and what I've got is almost the same. Most of them answered like they loved math, business, statistics. Whenever come to myself, why did I choose actuarial science, it's still a question mark to me. I'm interested in so many fields and I'm doing none of them now. Maybe, whenever I asked somebody about why act sci, I was looking for somebody that might have the same doubts as mine. Looking for somebody who could share their doubts and uncertainty with me. Til now, I haven't found any yet. Maybe I'm the only person who doubts about myself. haha.

What a.....

Yesterday, as usual, working in hubbell dining hall. It was raining so heavily that everybody came in as they'd just had a shower. haha. Suddenly, I heard something like siren. Everyone was shocked and the manager shouted, " Go, to the tunnel now!!". Most of the students in hubbell quickly return their trays and ran out of the dining hall. As that was my 1st time, I was still a bit retarded about what was happening. When I found out it was a tornado warning, some excitement just pop up and was thinking of able to go back earlier!! haha. But, we were escorted to the tunnel under hubbell and stayed there for about 5 minutes. In the end, I still have to carry on my work after the 5 minutes. What a disappointment......

Chicago Trip

Last week, I went to Chicago with a group of eight. The morning before we set off, I took and passed my driving test. It was my second time taking the test. The first instructor had me sat in the car, and failed me directly because the car I used was disqualified as it didn't have a front car plate. I was pretty confident about my driving skill but...... Anyway, I've passed it. Here's the proof. haha.














It's been my second time to Chicago. It's interesting though. We arrived around evening. It was kind of late, so I "ditch" my friend and went party with my brother. We went to the china town and had the "original" chinese cuisine there. We had roast duck, cha shao, smoothies(I know it's not chinese food but it's nice though) and others. Why is it "original" because it's run by the chinese. In Des Moines, besides one restaurant is by Hong Kong people, others are either Vietnamese or Korean. Like last time, the wind was strong and freezing. Totally different from Des Moines. This time, besides going to Shedd's Aquarium, walked around Sears tower, the Millenium Park, I went to Michigan Ave for shopping, United Center to take picture with "Michael Jordan". I loved the night view from Shedd's Aquarium.



















This trip really cost me a lot! It nearly finished my two months' pay. I was planning to get a new pair of shoes in the Premium outlet but end up with bags of clothing and jeans, and still couldn't get my footwear...... Maybe I'm too picky about it.

I nearly forgot about this

Hi guys, I'm posting another one now. I've taken this picture long time ago and forgot to share it with you all. Now here it is. It was taken when I was on my way to class. Nice view huh? That's the hall I'm staying, Goodwin-Kirk (we used to call it GK). Oh, I think I'm really talented in taking picture. haha.
