2007/10/20 Working at the TheaterI have couple jobs on campus - Tour guide, TA, and tech crew at Debaun. The one i like the most is working at DeBaun because the people that work there are quite cool to hang out with.. lol... Another thing that I really like now is that the pay has been rasied, now we get pay $9/hr instead of $6.50 when I first started.. hehe.. lucky for the new freshmen
Anyway, at DeBaun, we do three theater productions (2 musical, 1 play - always Christmas Carols, it is like a tradition now) and a bunch of other series. THe musical we doing now is Urinetown, the one I am working for this week and next week. The show is about a town that does not allow people to pee freely.. quite funny in some senses but not really my taste. ..
Working on the show is fun like always. Since today was the opening night, our "boss", producer, the one in charge of the Theater took everyone out and brought our first drinks.. lovely.. but the one I got (Captain's Hook) was not really that enticing.. too strong.. hehe.. but it was fun.. thus I just got home like now... (2pm)
In the mean time, I am debating whether I should buy this -->
2007/10/6 Lancaster, PA - NACAIt's that time in the year again, where the school sponsors a group of students to attend the National Association of College Activitie's Mid-Atlantic Region conference. Basically, NACA hosts conferences where different performers showcase their acts - comedians, magicians, mind readers, bands, and singers... There's also a market place where one could information about booking events for college, create promotional stuff, and novelty acts.
The trip is a lot of fun! I have been going every year since my freshmen year. We actaully got back a day earlier this year, so we missed a bunch of showcases. I think we would be staying the whole trip next year. Well, Im not even sure if I am going back since I would be a senior. hehe..
The driving is slightly less than 3 hours. The sceneary wasn't that bad when entering PA.. less pollution, more green. A few of towns in PA have really interesting names.. i.e. Virginville, PA. Intercourse, PA. I actually brought shot glasses with that on it.. hehe..
Anyway, there were tons of freebies.. lovely.. got another butt sketch, few caricature, and 2 stuffed bears.. There's a restaurant down there call the Millers, one of the best place to eat!!! Highly recommended it.
A part of Lancaster area is allocated for the Amish, so I see horses and cottages quite often. Sometimes I really wonder the way Amish lives.. hehe..
2007/10/2 Tech Fest - A painTech Fest is an annual week long festival during the Fall of school year. This year, the new Entertainment Committee is running it. Since I am on the eboard, I have to do a lot stuff.
Basically, the planning started over the summer, but with bad communication and bad luck, a lot of things just weren't coming through. Anyway, everything is back on track now thanks to everyone from the eboard. And, trust me, it is a pain to plan all the events, but it is fun.. hehe..
Line up for Tech Fest
1. Live Band Karaoke
2. Car Show / Anime Club Marathon / Gaming Club Marathon
3. Super Coffee House / Free movie Night
4. Casino Night
5. The Big Event - Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (Concert)
As of school, everything is going quite well. Online classes are so weird, but I think I would surivive.. lol..

As a result, the abc news came an interview our school.. so they kind of needed students to be extras on the video.. so i earned my 3 second of fame by siting on a chair talking to a counselor and walking pass the career service sign.. fun experience... the only downside.. i was in a crappy pink shirt and a sweat pant (opper comfty but definitely not what I want to wear to be on tv.. hehe)
link to the video -->
Hopefully they would still have this video years later so I could show off.. hehe.. 又一次对网路的惊叹!Native Son
刚刚去看了看What's New看见一个从baidu链接过来的访客。。 在好奇心作祟下, 去看看了下。。 原来是有人在差Native Son里面的人物们。。 因为这里有写Native Son是我最喜欢的一本书之一。。 所以就搜索的到。。 那本故事真特别感人。。 故事是在1930年左右吧,主角Bigger Thomas 是一个贫穷黑人家里的小孩。。 那个是后的种族歧视特别严重。。 Bigger 在这样的环境长大。。 心理的本质也是有点歪曲的。。 毕竟大家都是同样的人。。 为什么白人种族就觉得的自己比其他的厉害啦? (skipping).. Bigger 在一个白人妇女家里(Dalton) 当司机Mrs。 Dalton有个女而叫Mary。。 有一天Bigger开车送Mary 去跟他的男友(Jan) 约会。。 Mary 跟 Jan为了让Bigger 难堪所以带他去一家白人酒吧玩。。 3个人都喝的醉松松的。。 之后Bigger 卡车送Mary回家。。 因为Mary醉的很厉害所以Bigger送他回房间。。 因该因为Bigger是一个年轻小伙子。。 而且这么接近一个白人年青女子。。 在心理与生理的冲动下, Bigger 轻吻了Mary。。 大概这个时候。。 Mrs。 Dalton 进来查房 (她看不见)。。 Bigger为了不让Mary 发出声音意外下拿枕头把Mary淹死了。。 故事之后就是练这这见事情简述Bigger从这里到cover up到逃跑到误杀他自己的女友到被抓到开审到最后被判死刑。。 剧中的高潮前起真的让人感受生客。。 特别是Bigger的laywer (Max)最后讲的一番话真的说尽那是种族不平等所创造的悲剧。。。 (故事读了很久。 记得不是很清楚了。。 所以sparknote了一下)。。
A Memory Keepers Daughter
最近还读了另一本书 -- A Memory Keeper's Daugher 也是超感人的。。 简述一个医生 (David Henry)自己童年的时候因为妹妹的心脏有问题所以家里的人都把注意力集中在妹妹身上。。 不过妹妹在10岁左右就死了。。 家里人因为这个悲剧而变的破丧。。 这个童年阴影让医生一直走不出来。。
之后医生结婚了。。 而妻子有怀孕了。。 在生产的时候(因为下雪妇产医生没法来。。 所以只好自己和一个护士来)。。 第一孩子(男的)出来了。。很健康。。 可是之后却发现还有个。。 (那时候没有超声波所以不能提前查看)。。 第二个孩子是女的。。 可是一出生david就发现她有 DownSyndrom (弱智)倾向。。 害怕他自己童年的故事repeat.. 他叫护士把孩子带到一个孤儿院。。。 护士之后不忍心所以自己带着女婴离开了。。 david以为自己这样做是对他家庭最好的选择。。 因为他不想他的老婆和他的儿子跟他一样会时时刻刻担心女儿的安慰。。 因为他的决定。。 他的家庭最后有了不同的结果。。 就讲到这里了。。 我建议大家去读一下吧! 肯定不后悔的。。

2007/8/25 Orientation Almost Over & School is Almost startingToday is Saturday, one more day till Orientation is over, one more day till school starts, and one more day till I move to my new Shipyard Apartment. Yay!!! So far, orientation has been going really well. My performings art pre-o group put on a kick assed show last night. Everyone loved them! The group is really talented, but some are pretty divaish.. hehe.. ughh... gets on my nerve sometime. The orientation group moved in Wednesday. Just like previous years, I am closer to the pre-o group since I spent more time with them. As for my regular orientation group, we only met like once for an hour and some other time for the game. However, they still did an amazing job on the summer olympic games. We had a rocking 1.07 Obstacle Couse record... Hooray!! I guess everyone had fun.. and thats all it counts. Oh, I ride on a Mechanical Bull yesterday, pretty interesting experiene I must say.. hehe.. and made 3 wax hands, but I lost all of them.. sigh.. My temp roomates for CPA 311 moved in yesterday. They would be staying here while I move out on Monday. I kind of feel bad for pulling them in and then leave them... Well.. at least they get to be roommates.. lol.. Hope it would be cool with them.. sigh.. Have been going to * training * for the past couple nights.. not a bad way to recover my energy.. hehe.. Anyway.. thats it for now. be back.. p.s. I guess next time I should write with Chinese.. it has been a while..lol oh.. I was a part of the Pre-O show too... acting my self.. hehe.. weird 2007/8/21 I need Energy!!!Ughh.. Normally I am very excited about pre-orientation and orienation, and I seem to never get tired. However, this year, I get tired so easily.. UGHHHH!!! I want my energy and excitement back. Saw Legally Blonde and Spamlot again. Legally Blonde was really fun (OMG!!!).. Spamlot is not as good as the first time I saw it.. sigh.. 累死了。。 我需要咖啡因!!! 2007/8/19 Passing OutIts not even half way through orientation.. and I am tired as hell.. or should I say bubba gamoursh (something like that) since we are not to be *tired* during orientation. Anyway, the training and all the phsysical game resulted in all sort of sortness that one could think off.. which means I am really out of shaped.. also.. those heavy carrying in moving in stuff certainly would not help as much.. lol.. other wise.. it is pretty cool.. there are 34 pre-o kids in performing arts this year.. whoosh.. every year the school is growing.. and everything else too.. (yay!!) My friend is moving back to west next week.. so went out with him tonight (this is the only day i am free.. ugh.. i am orientation slave.. lol. just kidding) .. we saw Invasion (with nicole kidman).. the storyline was alright.. ok.. soso.. anyway.. g2g.. tired as hell.. gonna go pass out now!!! 2007/8/15 Orientaion Training and new rooming situationFinally Moved back to school yesterday... but am gonna move out again in two weeks to an off-campus apartment about 5 blocks away from where I am now... the new place is sweet - 2 Bedroom, 2 bathroom.. a kitchen.. and dining/living room.. pretty awesome.. and the best part.. it has a dish washer (that completely sold me.. normally I am one of those lazy ppl who prefer walking a shorter distance over anything.. but ye.. dish washer... *drooling**) In the mean time... orientation training has already started.. I am not as excited as I was the first year I did it.. perhaps I was too tired from yesterday and pre-orienation is still couple days away.. but I am definitely excited about the actual events during pre-o and orientation... --- Broadway shows - Spamlot (saw it.. really funny.. definitely dont mind seeing it again... especially it is free again.. lol).. and Legally Blond!!! Anyway.. sigh.. tired as hell.. so later .. p.s I really need to get a camera.. there were many awesome moments today!! Wish I could've capture them all!! Oh.. my sweet apartment pics (ones I found on their website) 2007/8/12 Tons of Stuff - PackingI am moving back to campus on the 14th.. so have been shopping a lot of stuff.. (a lot..).. spent quite a bit of money (tears**) Anyway.. I started packing today.. and OMG.. .I have too much Stuff!!! As of now.. I already packed 3 huge 23 Gallon plastic containers (these are all packed to the point where they are about to explode).. 3 medium boxes of school stuff.. two huge bags of pillows and cusions.. and thats probably only half of the stuff I have to bring to campus.. Things left to be pack include - Cloth and Shoes (which I have tons.. accumulated over past two years.. so probably gonna donate some)... kitchen stuff.. microwave.. shelfs.. tables.. and more.. I guess I should be happy that I have one less thing to bring to the dorm this year - My TV.. hhehe .. Overall.. tomorrow would be a really long day.. packing and cleaning out from my house .. and get ready for school.. Agenda for Monday * Do laundry * See Doctor * Pack * Clean * Eat and Sleep Agenda for Tuesday * See Doctor (dermatologist) * Move everything to car * Move back to school * Eat and Sleep! * and get TV back... p.s.

(as you could see.. im getting really lazy... cuz i started typing in english..lol).. so here are the links to the two amazing videos that i have no idea how to post 1. Battle at Kruger http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU8DDYz68kM 2. Women in Art http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUDIoN-_Hxs 2007/8/6 Things to do for the weekUnlike the past two weeks where I would probably be sitting in my cubicle and having a 9 hour working day.. I am sitting at home.. relaxing.. and chilling... I thought I would have sleep till sometime in the afternoon.. but I guess my biological clock is functioning normally and telling me to wake up early... As for the weekend, my roommates and I went to Ikea to shop for our dorm stuff.. ughh.. spent around $500 The next day, my brother, my cousins and I are gather around to play 麻将... won 8 dollar in the first round.. but lost 7 in the second.. so for two hours.. i only gain $1... .. not sure if it was a good deal... in the mean time... i also did something quite stupid.. dont know why.. (guess i was too bore).. 我去亚洲交友中心注册了一个account。。 呵呵。。 怪怪的~~。。 Oh, as for my schedule for this week.. i dont know the order for the things.. but below is what i need to get done.
2007/8/4 Last day of Work..Friday was my last day of work.. feeling slightly sad cuz I wont be making $$$$... lol.. However, it totally did not feel like the last day of work cuz I still I had to finish tons of work (normally last days are suppose to be nice and easy).. On top of that, I was in a hurry to run out since I have to catch a Bourne 3 in the theater right after... So, did not had a chance to take it in.. BTW, I did wanted to bring a camera.. but totally forgot.. so I used my crappy (2 year old) camera phone and took few pictures.. and I cant even upload them since I cant find my cables any where... K.. Thats it for now.. have to run.. going to do some major IKEA shopping today!!! 2007/8/2 First time... not exactly之前也在sohu弄了个blog --> http://www.xabaglione.blog.sohu.com/.. 不过弄了两天又没弄了。。 我因该属于那种兴趣来的快去的也快的类型把。。 呵呵.. 最近超级想当个年轻妈妈。。 生个可爱的混血宝宝。。 也是因为都在google这个。。。。 所以连接到space.live.com... 不过混血宝宝太可爱了。。 特别是伞姐姐*阿姨的大宝跟小宝。。。 kawaiii .. 口爱的不得了。。 Ok.. Anyway.. I guess blogging is more of telling about what has been happening or what one feel lie.. Well. so far.. school has been over for almost 3 months now... summer is great but not if you have to work all the time.. I been working for 10 weeks now at JPMC as a summer intern.. (tmw is actually my last day)... btw.. this reminded me that I should take some pictures of the ppl in my team.. so I could still remember them years to come.. hehe.. For the whole summer.. the one thing that I did for entertainment is probably watching movies.. I watched more than half of the major summer releases.. and probably going to see more.. ummm.. oh well.. this is probably gonna be just it for today.. -) 10.08pm |
