This week’s feeling

Ok, I never have the habit to keep a diary, so for this week’s blog, I think I will try a new kind style to keep a unique diary.

Mon.

For the Monday, to other students, it will be the start of the new week. But for me, not, because I only have a class on Monday, and that is the English class. How to say? I love this class, the professor is humorous, and because of this course, I met Chris, the guy makes me want to cry now. He always takes me to gym to do exercise, just like playing basketball, running or weight lifting. But Yesterday is different, because we played the taekwondo. I know he is good at taekwondo, but I am not. So for the whole period, I was like an active target and he was happy because I had no skill to fight back. Damn it. I think will never play the taekwondo again.

Tue.

It is really a busy and tired day. I have to get up early to take the math 1224, but I think it worth it. Because the professor helped me to figure out a problem which has perplexed me a long time. After the class, I ran back to my dorm because I was really missed my bed. How sweet it was. When I got up again, wow, I suddenly remembered that I would have a chemistry test at 7:00. Ok, I think it will be ok, just take it. But when I took the math 1206 course, the professor announced the newest test information. What? Are you kidding? So, that means I would at least 4 tests in this two weeks. What the hell? Why do these damn tests appear together? How terrible the Tuesday is. But what makes me happy is the chemistry test is basic, and I hope I can get a good grade. God bless me.

Wed.

Today was also a busy day, but I did not go to the math 1224 class, because it was a review class. For the engineering course, I love it, but it does not love me. Therefore, I passed a very long boring time in the engineering course. In addition, for the whole afternoon, I was so nervous, because the Chemistry test result was coming. More and more friends knew their score, what the hell, they all got at least 90. After the dinner, I stealthily opened the scholar and wanted to look up the gradebook, because, if someone found my bad score, it would be embarrass. God, I love you. I got 100 for chemistry test. Oh, yeah. At that time, I wanted all people to know that I got 100.

Thur.

I got up early, because last night I decided to go to the math emporium to take the math 1224 test. If I take the test on Sunday, I cannot tolerate the pressure from two math tests. However, how unlucky I was, there was something wrong with our PID system in the morning, so I cannot take the test. Damn it. I took the bus to the math emporium but took nothing back from math emporium. In the whole afternoon, I buried into the chemistry lab presentation.

Now, I am typing this blog, because I will end this special blog tonight. What I want to say is that this blog is interesting. I love my job. Yeah~

Little stories about my parents and my grandparents

I think the people who read my blog will think it is boring, because I will still talk the food in this blog. What, still food? But the title is little stories about your parents and grandparents. Yes, because the stories’ topic are about the food again, pardon me.

When I was small, I sat on the living room’s ground and saw a play, whose topic was about love. At that time, I had no idea about love. So, I was curious that why did two people kiss each other. I went to my parents’ room and ask my parents. Only mum was in the bedroom, and she was reading a book. Then, I asked a stupid question “Why do that man kiss the girl?”

My mum told me “They love each other.”

And my second question “Do you love daddy?”

Mum “Yes.”

“Why do you love daddy, because he kiss you?”

My mum laughed and said “Because you daddy always cook delicious food for me……” and at that time I started to know my parents’ love story, only because of food.

At that time, the university entrance exam was very hard, and only a little percent part of the whole students can be admitted into a university. So my father stopped continuing to study in a university, and started to learn different skills to earn the living, but my mum chose to continue, and finally was admitted. But my mum’s university life was very poor, especially the food. The school’s restaurant can only offer the steamed bread. When my daddy knew my mum’s situation, he started to prepare the different food for my mum, and the result was obvious. They fell in love, my mum thought my daddy was careful and warm-hearted.

Now, I know why my mum loves my daddy, but when my mum told me that story, I couldn’t understand. So, I asked to my grandma.

My grandma laughed, too and her answer was “Because your grandpa’s food is yummy.” “What, only because my grandpa cooks well?”

Another story starts. When my grandma was small, it was still in the age of war, and at that time, no one can eat a lot. For example, if my grandma had the lunch, she cannot have the dinner. Because everyone has to save the food to pass that war time. So, she decided that when she grew up, she must marry with a cook, and she don’t have to concern about the food problem. My grandpa is lucky, because of his cooking skill, he can marry my grandma. What the hell, I must be a man who can cook well.

Anyway, that the stories about my parents and my grandparents—because of the food, they finally married.

Just about food

What is the real Chinese food?

    At first, I don’t know that Virginia Tech has the best restaurant and its food is no.1, and my mum thinks that I will always eat the hamburgers, fries and pizzas. My mum worries that I cannot adjust the American food, especially these fast food. But after two weeks’ observation, I think I have no problem with Virginia Tech’s food, and I can live well.

    Before I come to America, My parents are worried by two problems, they are security problem and food problem. For food problem, my parents want me to eat healthily and it is better for me to get away from the fast food, for example, the McDonald’s. In China, comparing with normal people, I am too fat. We all know that people will get fatter if they eat too much fast food, so my mum worries that I will be fatter and fatter in America and several years later, when I come back to China, no girl will marry with me, for I am too fat.

But now, my parents know that they don’t have to concern about the food, because I can eat healthily and I can adjust well.

    For I am a Chinese people, my favorite dishes are Chinese food. But, to be honest, Virginia Tech’s Chinese food doesn't taste well. Chinese food in Virginia Tech’s restaurant only has the color and shape compared with real Chinese food. For the reason why here’s Chinese food don’t have real Chinese flavor, because these Chinese food were not cooked by Chinese people and when they were cooked, the cook doesn't use the Chinese condiments.

    I think Chinese condiment play a very important role in Chinese food, and that is the reason why Chinese food is different with India food, Japanese food, Thailand food and many other countries’ food. There are 34 provinces in China, and Chinese people separate these provinces’ flavors into 8 categories. These 8 categories depend on different condiments to develop and finally be well- known to all people. Due to my ancients’ effort, we find different condiments from different places, such high mountains, deep sea and even dry dessert. So that’s the reason why Chinese restaurant can spread all around the world.

    In fact, when my Chinese friends and I want to eat the Chinese food, we will go to downtown, because there is a Chinese restaurant called Happy Wok. Two Chinese brothers run this restaurant, and when you come there, you will also their wives and daughters. Food in Happy Wok is nice, so even some Korean and Japanese people will come there to have meals.

    Ok, if you have interests or want to have a try for Chinese food, you can go to Happy Wok.

    Next time, I think I will talk about my family’s story about food.

My visa

    I don’t know how to start a new blog, but what I’m sure is that what I am typing now is my first blog.

    Now, it is my second week in U.S.A, and I am curious about everything here. It is not my first time to come to America, because I traveled to America two years ago. Today, I still remember the day that I got my F1 visa. A F1 visa means a lot of things that I can go to America, study in a university, choose the best-loved major, and maybe I can get the chance to go to Apple Inc.

    In fact, I am nervous to come to Virginia Tech alone. I should take at least fifteen hours’ plane to Washington DC firstly and then across the custom. These X-ray cameras and infrared cameras make me feel bad, and I always think that I will be refused to land on America, just like the first time that I was refused to get the B1\B2 visa.

    OK, let’s talk about my first B1\B2 visa. At that time, I was only 15 years old, and my parents want to have a family travel to America with me. But in my view, it is only a travel, and I don’t have to take it seriously. So I don’t prepare all the questions that I should response to visa official. When the official asked me whether my mum had some friends in America, at that time, I knew that my mum had some college classmates were working in America, and I thought classmates were friends, so I replied “Yes.” Because of that, my parents and I were all refused to get the visas. For the reason was that my parents had a attempt to migrate to U.S.A. I was blamed to lose the chance to America. That made me feel unhappy for a long time.

    At that time, I was only a junior student, and I never had the idea that wanted to migrate to America. In my personal view, though China is a developing country, comparing with U.S.A, I still want to choose to live in China. Now it is true that I live in America, but I am studying in U.S.A. I want to learn more things in Virginia Tech to help China and Chinese people.

    I never know what will happen in the future, but I am sure that after the study in U.S.A, I will go back to China. I love my country, and I want to use my knowledge to build China. I am willing to devote my life to helping Chinese people. I want to my knowledge to build technology products to help Chinese people, improve their lives’ quality, and make their life easier, more comfortable. I want to see more wellbeing in China.

    OK, I think I find a way to let my heart to say something. In this blog, I will talk more stories about myself.
