There was one incident, which I think was quite funny. The professor in Intro to Anthropology said during lecture that we are allowed to bring 2 pieces of cheat sheets into the exam hall. So after the lecture, I asked him what is the size of the paper.
WL: Prof, so what size is the paper for the cheat sheet?
Prof: Oh, the normal size paper.
WL: Oh, so it’s A4 size?
Prof: That will be the normal size paper.
WL: Okay, I got it..A4 size. Thanks!
Later the week, I found out that American’s paper is NOT in A4 size…it is quite long in height and shorted in wide and I thought paper size is universal?!
Then, I went swimming with Maika today, UCONN has this indoor swimming pool…but the pool is so deep! At one end, it’s 12 feets 6 inches (about 4 meters) , and normal standard depth for the other end, so we ended up have to swim 2 laps each time coz we can’t stand on the other deep end. Maika didn’t bring a goggle, so she probably wont feels it. BUT I HAVE A GOOGLE, AND THOUGHOUT MY SWIMMING, I AM SO HORRIBLY SCARED! Haha…deep deep pool, something I dun like since childhood. I really wanna swim, so I think I will go again some time.
Nothing much today really, just finished writing a one page paper for Economics History of Europe. BUT I AM GOING TO NYC TMR MORNING!
PS: Will be back on Monday USA time!
Some random photos I put on facebook..







Nice pictures. Ha Ha, American paper size is different.
Haha! I just knew you are scared of deep deep pool, cos you used to swim so much since young. Just be careful then, don’t go too deep. 欺山莫欺水
This probably sounds silly, but I swear, in that picture of the squirrel, I see a little bear sitting in the bushes, looking out at the squirrel. Probably just a tree stump or something, but it looks remarkably like a bear!
