2009.01.06 Book Store


This U-shape line is for returning books, and there is another line inside the store. On the other hand, the line for purchasing is...like a giant snake, twisting 20 rounds and covering the whole clothing section. I just didn't dare to take that scene with my cell phone in the crowd. Sorry folks, no more pic.

Today we had the first ARTH 100 class in the Term 2. That is the only whole-year course I've ever enrolled. Nice to have the same classmates for one year, or even more, like Chris to Alex. Mine are Lynn and Christine. Lynn is a Korean girl, but her home is in Mexico. She can speak perfect Korean, English...maybe Spanish? I don't know how fluently can she speak, but she can understand much at least. She is learning Chinese right now! Christine, is the other Chinese girl in my lab. No one else in the room can understand our Mandarin, that's comfortable. She just came back from Paris, I'm jealous at her. It would make me feel awesome if when the prof is talking about Mona Lisa and I just saw the original work with my own eyes a week ago. She did it.

Here is the bonus of today's diary:

When I was having dinner, thanks to aunt's reminder, I found an interesting difference between my middle school classmates (M) and university classmates (U).

When I was chatting with M, we would talk about their jobs, and the companies may be a domestic bank, a newly established advertising agency, a steel trading SOE, and a building company etc, and all of them are in China, majority of the companies locate in NB (our hometown).

But if I was chatting with U, the conversation was:
-"Wow, you got an offer! What's the program? Which country will you go to?"
-"My master program is management / translation etc. in the UK/Australia etc."
or
-"Wow, he got the offer from KPMG/HSBC etc. (anyway, any name of the Big Four or an International bank)"
