I am playing gample

These days I have been spending hours surfing the websites of Graduate school in order to find a right school in the meaning that I will be proud of entering it and it will be satisfactory of accepting me. There are so many schools and so many mentors that I can not make a choice. I am just playing a gamble.

When I decided to enter an university three years ago, I didn't have such a tough time because my family helped me and the universities are in China. But this time, I am going to study in America which I have never been and is unfamiliar with. It is said America has many good schools and more opportunities. Like the people on the boat of Mayflower, I cherish this dream and take the risk to pursue it.

This morning, my roommates, who is also preparing to study overseas, told me he dreamed that I reveived many offers last night. I hope it is a good signal to me.

Noah's First Birthday

"Good news", this morning when I opened my gmail as usual, I noticed a mail with this striking subject. It is from uncle Shi. I cannot help to read the mail. Uh ha! It is indeed a good news. My auntie delivered a boy on Aug 28th. He namaed that baby Noah Shi. The baby is 8.2 Lb weight, and 21 1/4 inches (54cm) length. I have been eagerly waiting for uncle's mail these days, partly for this coming baby, partly for his sugestions about my abroad study plan. I am evry glad, and forward the news to mom and sister at once.

I can imagine how happy uncle and auntie are now. They are living in Canda, with only a few Chinese friends and relatives. This baby begins the second generation in Canada. Congratulations, uncle and auntie!
