Michan does too.
Anyan's a little musically challenged so she just plays with the triangle and we can't go on tour together

I couldn't stop thinking about Fang Yan's conversation with Baishan so I went to my professor during her office hours. Well, I came when her office hours ended, but she let me in anyway. I couldn't understand why Fang Yan had changed, and during my Politics, Writing, and the Nobel Peace Prize in Latin America class it's all I thought about. I find the book so tragic.
We talked for over an hour! It was great. We ended up talking about all the books we read over the semester and more. I told her how maybe I relate to each book since I can picture everything. What the landscape looks like outside your window on the train, old Chinese restaurants, urbanization, the people, traditional houses, cheap places, nostalgia, gardens gardens gardens.
I hadn't realized how much time I spent in gardens until she asked me to send my pictures of gardens. I miss being told about the blossoms. Even our campus was a big garden!
It's priceless
My professor said studying abroad isn't a vacation and it isn't, haha. It's such an overwhelming, challenging experience, especially in China since it's a whole other world. Each day was one long adventure and learning how to adapt with your friends. I forgot how much we learned in classes, our guest lecturers, our awesome professors, the famous people, diplomats, and business people we spoke to, how we stressed over our assignments, how our Chinese lessons were more rigorous, etc. I had only touched the tip of the iceberg when I learned about how the government works in China and Chinese politics. It's a whole other world!
Talking with her got me excited about the future. Not that I wasn't, but I felt as if I was dragging my feet instead of feeling as I should feel. She was surprised at how much Chinese literature I read on my own, before going to college, haha!
She's never been to Nanjing so I told her to go. It's a sad city, but interesting and besides, Madame Qian is from there! It's true, you need some distance from a place or an event in order to understand it better. I definitely understand Shanghai and my experience there better. Also, I can't believe an old arcade building I passed by often was the site of a bomb the Japanese dropped and 1000 civilians died. The history I was standing in! How happy I was to finally stand in front of Zhuge Liang's gold statue. I don't talk about it much, but it was one of the greatest, greatest days.
Anyway, I took an extra long walk after class today. I went to some areas that I never went to for a little adventure. I went to Forever21 and didn't find a dress. Jessica is having her birthday bash at the Gansevoort Park Hotel and I go, "Here we go again!" She said the place Bad Hostess chose for her miserable party was no M1NT, and I had to laugh since we're still comparing our lives to Shanghai.

The slideshow brings back good times.
As I was walking back, a black guy with dreads popped out of nowhere and said he liked my style. I stopped and said thank you. He asked if I made my outfit intentionally, all black and white, but I said no, this is just how I am. He asked where I was going, I said class, he asked what I studied, what I wanted to do. I said I'm studying politics, so he asked if I was going to become president and screw everyone over, and I said no, I wouldn't. I said I want to do something international, related to Peru and China, and he asked what China was like. Oh the misconceptions he had!
I had the overwhelming feeling he was a con artist, but I wasn't sure what there was to take from me. So I talked to him as if this was completely normal. He said why don't we walk, I said okay, we walked towards where I was heading anyway. I felt the usual distrust, but I remembered August 17th, the old lady, her garden. I remembered it so well.
I asked him about himself as we went. I felt kind of sorry for him because he seemed a bit confused. Then he asked for my phone number and I said, "I don't give that to anyone" and he immediately ran away and I kept walking, not looking back.

Errr...my friend said he REALLY REALLY needed to talk to me today, yesterday. So I said we could meet up after work.
But then he texted me saying he can't because then he'd have to lie to his girlfriend...I don't get it. Last week we talked about going out to dinner together (all 3 of us), and now he's like "I can't see you outside of work anymore" and...
Dafuq?
He knows I'm asexual and we're just friends. If this is some attraction thing, which it probably is, then screw that. I hate that stuff.
Why does it get in the way of everything? I've had friendships and god knows what else get screwed up because of attraction and sexuality and all that nonsense and UGH. I wish it would just go away.
I wish we were all robots.

I looked up ECNU on wikipedia and it says:
"ECNU is well known as a "Garden University" for its beautiful campus with beautiful streams, luxuriant trees, green lawns and lovely flowers. Scattered about the campus are buildings in traditional and western architectural styles."
"With flower gardens throughout the complex, a gated entrance that insulates the campus from the noisy streets of the city, and one of Shanghai's most beautiful parks dominating the environment, students will simply enjoy being on campus."
"It's beautiful here. Chinese students say that if you're a college student in Shanghai, ECNU's campus is the best one to fall in love on. I wholeheartedly agree."
After the dance competition we received coupons for the bookstore. I bought my ECNU shirt with Strickland's help, Odera convinced me to get the varsity jacket, I got a fan, a frame, a button, folders, and a set of postcards. The postcards are watercolor paintings of the campus and they're on my wall now. They depict the gardens, the bridges, the academic building, the area with the Mao Statue, the pagodas, the rivers in a dreamy way.
I got to show my mom the campus, and she loved it. We went inside the academic building and I took her to our small NYU area, the student lounge, our classrooms.
I loved showing her my room and she said it was really cute. It had many "firsts" for me. It had the biggest bed I had ever been in, I had never had a closet or desk as big, and I was so happy with my little room. It had similar windows to what I had in Miami Beach, and I could open them and stare at the sky or look at the courtyard. I can't look out the windows now and I miss that. Did we all become poets? XD I remember discussing with my friends when the best time to hear the birds sing is. We would talk about the way the sun shined on the stones.
In September I ran into an old friend. She said, "I was just thinking about Shanghai because it's an extremely beautiful day." I asked, "Does one ever get over it? I still miss it!" She smiled and said, "No, I don't think something like that ever goes away." She studied there in Fall 2012 and I said, "Oh noes! XD" I don't ever want to forget these times though. I take pictures so I can remember.
Sometimes I'm enjoying myself too much so I only take a few. I feel a little bad I didn't take a picture of Strickland laughing on the floor, but I didn't have my phone. We went to his room in a rush and I left it, haha. That night going to 1933, ah! For some reason I kept my camera in my pocket as we walked! At least my friends have taken loads of pictures so they've gotten perspectives I missed. I still take a ton with my phone now!
My Chinese lit professor asked us why we take the pictures we take. Something insignificant to someone else may mean everything to you. I know! My mom asked why I posted a grainy picture of two boxes of noodles and stools on my China blog.
I told her she had no idea how happy I was that night.
It's the only picture I have.
I did a powerpoint on Peru's history from 1880-1979 for my Nobel Prize class. I learned SO MUCH about the government, regime changes, APRA party, dictatorships, etc. My dad and my (dead) grandfather are apristas and I loved learning about the Trujillo Revolution! Juan Velasco Alvarado was a leftist dictator, and the changes he made for the poor! It's a shame it went downhill towards the end and it became so authoritarian.
My partner thought I was being radical in my designs for the template and color scheme. I said trust me, I know what I'm doing. I don't understand people who go for the safe way. I don't want the usual boring presentation. It ended up being great, I included footage of riots and of Juan Velasco Alvarado speeches my dad found, a dramatic song about the Trujillo Revolution my dad found, photos I've taken in Peru, I brought my baby alpaca, I dressed in red and white, and I included a dancing alpaca at the end of the presentation. I guess I care. My professor said she loved how I mentioned my father's memories, my own memories of Trujillo, actual footage, and how I ended it on a hopeful note. Also, it was about Peru, how can I present something less than great?
Today we were presented with the history of Argentina, with a black and white template and super low quality images. They were so pixelated! Don't people ever think about the viewers? *shrugs*

I hate frustrated housewives and grumpy guys. Recently, my company started a survey and asked the students whether they like my teaching or not.
Grannies, slightly odd people and lesbians love me, but some dudes and frustrated housewives don't and they gave me bad marks.
Some guy came up and was like "HEY LADY, I like the clothes you're wearing on your body", and you didn't get that impression? XDPureElegance wrote:
I once saw some guy in the subway who was way more persistent though.
"So do you have a boyfriend?"
"Yes"
"Well are you happy with him?"
They were probably just confident enough in their words that they wanted people to pay attention to them above all!
That is a very specific demographic breakdown XDshazzer wrote:

You can also say that maybe I'm so used to men hitting on me in disgusting ways or being hurt by people I thought were friends here that it takes a while for me to believe it when it comes from a good place. I don't think that applies here because I kept thinking of the old lady and just from thinking that I could tell I changed a bit. Besides, he did the same to someone behind me. He was just surprised at how I asked him about himself.
No one pays attention to those usual ones though and the presentation is to inform others, not keep things to yourself. At least make it engaging on some level. It's a waste when you don't and you can tell they didn't put much thought into it.
I'm sitting in the park staring at dead trees, our dead fountain, and listening to "Cinderella's Waltz," wondering why I torture myself that way XD It's such an ugly day, but not cold or windy so I can sit here peacefully. Everything is in tones of grey and brown and maybe it is something unique about this place. It's full of greys and browns right now. People don't make it better by almost always wearing black.
I remember Jessica said I stood out since I wore a bright red jacket, she thought that was really cool of me, and she wore a neon blue one.
After running into Strickland I went to the park and thought, "Everything's dead" when I entered it, but I stopped my head from going down that road. I'm trying!
I was walking through it and saw two pengyous sitting on a bench side by side. I was going to wave and say hi, but they were sitting in silence and staring at the dead trees.
My professor and I were talking about today's class. I think our curren book idealizes nature too much, as if it were perfect, and my classmates who are so "We need to return to nature!"... I want to see them actually live in the wild. I do think we should take some elements of the harmonious sides of nature, but I don't want society to BE like nature.
Then my friend was talking in class about how that's just how it is, it's farming 101, to kill the females wolf cubs because they're not as important as males. How can they not be as important, will we be left with only males?? She said that this doesn't translate or reflect into society though so there's nothing wrong with idealizing the practice of killing the female cubs.
We stared at her, Daniel raised his eyebrow, and I couldn't help blurting out, "But that's how China is now!" My professor said YES and asked me to elaborate. I said that because there's the old attitude that women are not as important, they're being killed as babies, leaving an excess of males. Kai thought that only applied to rural areas and I said no, in Shanghai there's more men than women too and it's a problem all over China that they're trying to fix now. The Actual Chinese People backed me up.
I was sitting by myself and eating when a friend popped up. We walked out together and I kept saying hi to passing friends, and he said "You have so many friends!" I laughed and he said, "Gosh, it must be hard with all your followers and the paparazzi and stuff" and I laughed so much and we kept joking about "the struggle" and how it's "a blessing and a curse"-- I love joking that way XD
Oh well, another hour until I see Shannen. It's getting windy so I'm going.
Well I guess at least one person doesn't XDPureElegance wrote:
I do because I know what it's like to have no one pay attention to you. If you take a look around the room people are either falling asleep, staring off, or doing other things on their laptops.

The good part was Eva Peron's last speech before she died of cancer at 33, how people there reacted, with some footage of her funeral:

They stopped it midway (it's 3 minutes long, why?), but we Spanish speakers said LEAVE IT because we understood. What an incredible, charismatic speaker. I would've been crying with everyone else. Mozart was added, but still XD The words she uses... are pretty powerful. I don't think the English equivalent is as good, but I quickly translated it here:
Daniela whispered to me, "She's so devoted to him!" Seriously, I was moved by that especially.
Emily said if we read her "My Mission in Life", we'll change our opinion of her. I asked my professor what she meant, and she said in the book Eva seems like a traditional woman when it came to her husband, the state, and she's more complicated than how she's depicted. She's pretty feminist, but I wonder what they mean by traditional.
Woah @__@ She was even given a presidential funeral even though she wasn't a politician!
We went: "AWWWWWW."
LOL Disney is everywhere.
YES. I've never read it that way before, but that's something I've always noticed, even in my own family!
I'm glad I met with Shannen. She's dying because of a terrible grade which is going to hurt her GPA and block her from getting jobs through NYU. In the business school they filter you out by GPA. We were laughing on the street, but she said, "I wish I could go back, even the classes were a lot better. Even if they were more intense and the professors more critical at least I enjoyed them."
She said she saw Strickland and felt like yelling at him. She's so cute. Earlier today Odera called me "Ms. Swanson" and that was a major slip of the tongue. It's like when Big jilted Carrie in Sex and the City, she went to the honeymoon with her friends and the waiters kept calling her "Ms. Preston" because they didn't know she was jilted
My professor for Gender and Sexuality in Latin America popped out. It's been over a year since I've seen her! Even Alan Sokal popped out the other day. She asked about Shanghai and we said it was amazing. Her close friend is now the dean of NYU Shanghai, and tells her every day about life there. She doesn't want to go to NYU Abu Dhabi, but Shanghai, and she can't wait to go!
Shannen was amazed at how I'm friends with my professors, and we talked about happiness vs. money. Her dream is to be a baker, but she thinks it won't make money. Hmm. I talked about that with Strickland during the brunch, and we were conflicted, feeling as if the future was a big cloud. I asked why study computer science with his other majors/minors, the theater, and he genuinely likes it. (Later he'd try to teach me some things, but I was too distracted by his eyes and he could tell). He asked why politics. I like it too. We're just not sure what "the dream" is. The Park Hyatt 5 Star Hotel, on the 92nd floor of the highest building in Shanghai, overlooking the entire city beneath our feet on a beautiful day, what a place to talk.
Anyways, Shannen said she felt so much better after talking and so did I! Before our chat I was all, "Grey. Brown. Grey."
My Nobel Peace Prize professor invited us to her apartment on the upper east side tomorrow for some Indian food. Her husband is a blind Indian writer so that's why it's going to be Indian! I thought to myself, "I'm sure he's going to say, 'I sense there's an Indian in this room...' " I'll stop!

@shazzer - lol that's awesome-ish. But maybe you can learn something from the complaints?
My friend found out I was facebook buddies with his brother the other day and was totally weirded out lol
It's not like I'm friends with his mom or anything though.
And then he tried to pinch my arm buyobuyo (he does that sometimes to annoy me) and there wasn't any anymore, so that weirded him out again lol
Poor, weirded out friend.

@ faith hmm the problem is that they do not tell you why they think you are a bad teacher. they just mark you. no comment or similar.
today i had 3 of my fav. students. they are so cute. one was just busting in laughter and we had stomach ache after the lesson. we just goofed arround. she was very happy to see me.
another one was so lovely. she booked me 5 times in a row for one to one lessons. we started the topic "hotel" and then we came to the topic bath/shower and onsen.
another student was just smiling at me. she does not really follow the lesson plan. she just wants to talk. when i am not here, she cancels the lessons. today she told me that she likes my name. she loves a manga which has a heroine with my name. she said the heroine is very beautiful. like me. awwwwwwww
(if i ever have to leave this school, i will ask her where she lives and take her home, she is so adoreable. last time she told me that she never receives presents for valentine's day. i cannot believe that. seriously. she is like the loveliest person of all people i have ever met.

*purely an "I'm procrastinating" post*
Last month I left class and a friend asked me how I was, and I said, "Stressed." He asked me what's wrong, and I thought, "How would I even begin?" so I said "Everything XD" He kept asking me and walking with me, but how was I going to explain all that I feel? I miss Shanghai, I miss Zhugey, I miss Strickland, I miss feeling elated, I feel disorganized, I keep being disappointed, I'm stressed over law school, what is the meaning of life, I hate how it gets dark early now, what is my future, my leg, etc. I don't really feel that way as much anymore, haha.
I remember on August 17 I told Kevin, "Don't worry, I brought my camera so I'll record your last moments here in Heaven!!" Strickland, in a cute way, said he thought that was very sweet of me to say.
On May 10, after dancing on East Nanjing Road, we had been separated from the rest of the group. Strickland climbed on this brick structure to find them, he even did their silly "call". I looked up at him and admired how much he didn't care about what people thought of him, and people stopped to take pictures or to smile. I snapped a quick picture of him too and went to throw something away that I had found in my hoodie's pocket. I came back a few seconds later and he suddenly looked concerned and was looking this way and that. Then he looked down and said, "Oh, there you are, I thought I lost you."
I'm glad I took that hoodie with me. My close friend had given it as a present, and that hoodie would be my only casual jacket I had, haha. That night as everyone was getting ready for the toast, I asked DL if I should take an umbrella. She scoffed and said no, so I didn't because I would hate holding an umbrella all night, but I did take the hoodie with me just in case. Later on it started raining as we were looking for the taxi. We stood underneath a building's entrance, no one seems to own an umbrella anymore, and Strickland walked out to go, but I said "WAIT!!" I had to put my hoodie on! Once it was on and over my hair I was ready to roll. In the end I didn't care about the rain and it was a lovely night.
In September I suddenly got depressed as I was waiting at the subway entrance which looks like a cave on 42nd Street and 7th avenue. I was waiting for an umbrella to be brought to me. I thought, "Wait, a few months ago I didn't even care about the rain, what's happening?"
Hmm...
OMG Odera told me she's coming to visit OMG SHE NEEDS TO HURRY. She was expecting to stay in North Carolina for the entire school year, but she thinks she's able to visit!
I missed the auction deadline of the Sleeping Beauty keepsake (GOD), but I found one that ends today so I cannot forget! I love the description on the box:
I'm still blown away that Eva Peron's foundation gave 500,000 sewing machines each year among other things. Oh my god. That's just incredible! Imagine if she hadn't died?? I hate cancer. I'm curious about her book though and what Emily said would change my opinion of her because she's "traditional".
OK, off to my professor's apartment. XD
Shannen said she was sitting in class and looked all upset because was calculating her GPA, when "the cute guy" in class went to sit next to her and she gave off this aura of "I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A CRISIS." I feel like we weird people out sometimes without knowing XDfaith wrote:
Last month I left class and a friend asked me how I was, and I said, "Stressed." He asked me what's wrong, and I thought, "How would I even begin?
" so I said "Everything XD" He kept asking me and walking with me, but how was I going to explain all that I feel? I miss Shanghai, I miss Zhugey, I miss Strickland, I miss feeling elated, I feel disorganized, I keep being disappointed, I'm stressed over law school, what is the meaning of life, I hate how it gets dark early now, what is my future, my leg, etc. I don't really feel that way as much anymore, haha.I remember on August 17 I told Kevin, "Don't worry, I brought my camera so I'll record your last moments here in Heaven!!" Strickland, in a cute way, said he thought that was very sweet of me to say.
On May 10, after dancing on East Nanjing Road, we had been separated from the rest of the group. Strickland climbed on this brick structure to find them, he even did their silly "call". I looked up at him and admired how much he didn't care about what people thought of him, and people stopped to take pictures or to smile. I snapped a quick picture of him too and went to throw something away that I had found in my hoodie's pocket. I came back a few seconds later and he suddenly looked concerned and was looking this way and that. Then he looked down and said, "Oh, there you are, I thought I lost you."
