I started to like the new place.
Amy and Mariana asked me to be their roommate. The apartment is in East Village. The rent is 1000 exclusive of utility bills. Like they said, the place was small, but it was cute.
Mike went bungee jumping in Canada.
It took Mom a total of 50 hours to fly back home. Her flight from Seoul to Wuhan was canceled. After they put her on a plane from Seoul to Shanghai and bought her ticket to fly from Shanghai to Wuhan, she was yet to encounter more unlucky things. Because of thunder storm in Shanghai and Nanjing, her flight was delayed. In the end, her baggage and her person arrived in Wuhan on different flights. It's her first time traveling home from abroad, and it's definitely the most dramatic one.
I got my NYU ID. The lady there made a mistake by putting its expiration month as 08/2013. She must have thought that I was an incoming undergraduate freshman. In fact, this was not the only time that such things happened to me at NYU. A girl, who was caught in the rain and drying herself up in the bathroom, also asked me if I was a freshman. I clarified by saying that I was, but a graduate freshman. She looked surprised, but I changed the topic soon.
I woke up at around 4 am today, had some reveries, turned on my laptop, and started writing.
A Week Later
mike, my answer is yes, we are having a relationship now, but i can't promise you that it's a lasting and meaningful relationship.
let's put all kinds of relationships on an imaginary scale, on the lower end, we have short and adventurous relationships, on the upper end, we have lasting and meaningful relationships. i think ours is towards the lower end, even though i don't disagree that it has the looks of a lasting and meaningful relationship.
many things are required for a long and lasting relationship. for instance, both girl and guy need to know what they want, what they need, what they have, and what they don't. however, the process of finding these things out often lasts longer than the duration of the relationship.
you don't have to read this paragraph, but i have to say it. by agreeing to relationship-status with u, i have hurt a dear friend, even though i believe he will forgive me. i owe him so much, still.
that's all. i won't write any more now. my neurological current will get too strong in no time if i keep reasoning with my emotions. curbing doesn't do much, i will let mine flow into reservoirs. do you know what reservoirs are? they are memories. they don't get mixed up with the actually current. -tian
