去Poppa家吃晚饭了
今天上次带我们去walmart的Matt邀请我们去他们家做客，虽说是做客，因为我们提到要做中国菜，所以还是自带食物...至少我理解成带一点菜...所以做得不多，去到才发现他们一点菜都没做，所以...幸好还够...

Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior
下午没课，在家等人带我去沃尔玛...电视上播了一部迪士尼的原创电影...Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior，简介如下：
故事中的女主角Wendy Wu是个受欢迎的华裔高中女生，在学校有两个好姊妹和一个"接近"完美、但过於自恋的男友。她最大的愿望就是当选舞会的皇后，为此她和从小就同校的Jessica不停想尽怪招拉取选票。和一般在美国长大的华裔孩子一样，Wendy完全不了解中国文化，直到一个从中国深处来的奇怪僧侣Shen改变了一切，而这个时候，一股邪恶的力量正从博物馆的中国雕刻箱子悄悄地崛起。Shen的使命就是牺牲性命保护此代的Yin Warrior，而Wendy正是继承曾祖母的力量的战士，原本Shen的奇异行为吓呆了Wendy，但她渐渐发现邪恶的力量正入侵校园。Wendy好谎称Shen是她中国来的远房表哥，而为了抵挡邪恶以及当上舞会皇后，Wendy接受了Shen的多项训练，每天相处下，也许是发觉身边多了一个真正肯为自己付出的人，Wendy坦承她并不爱她的男朋友，只是别人都有若自己没有很奇怪，但Shen却不能接受Wendy的邀请当她的舞伴，因为他不知道自己是不是下一秒就要为了保护Wendy牺牲。舞会当天，Wendy得知Shen正在一个人战斗，但已当选舞会皇后的她，那是她人生最重要的一晚？她该怎么办呢？ （结局当然是她打败了“阎罗”）
主角是Brenda Song，最近在迪士尼台的少儿剧经常看到（我的水平...）
还蛮有意思，虽然还是有点扭曲中国文化，过分强调功夫...能打斗个1分多钟不说话...
Anyway,还可以啦...呵呵，虽然女主角又问中国有没有巧克力...
哈哈...我还蛮喜欢这个Brenda Song的。

步骤一：在鸡翼上用刀划痕，可以划深一些，然后用油煎至金黄：
步骤二：同时，用小锅大火煮可乐，半瓶左右，添加少量酱油盐糖
步骤三：待鸡翼煎成金黄，可乐收浓（如果可乐太稀会泡软鸡翼），把可乐倒入煎锅中
步骤四：大火收汁，让鸡翼吸收可乐的味道，适当翻动，让两面都能着色。
成品见下:

School year introduces new country to students
Volunteers work to ease the transition to the states for international students.

When Guanyu Gu came to MU from China, he brought only a backpack and a small suitcase.
Without having a place to stay, he carried the luggage with him throughout the campus’s international-student orientation Aug. 13. His first day on campus, he found there was so much to do that he had no idea where to start.
Gu, 19, needed to open a bank account for his parents to wire money to. He had to get access to the Internet with his laptop. He had to buy a cell phone. And he needed a pillow and blanket for the night.
Life in Columbia was far more different than what he expected.
It’s an adjustment many new international students have to make after they land in Columbia. And their numbers are growing.
According to MU’s International Center, 1,336 international students — 4.7 percent of MU’s student body — were enrolled at the university in 2006, up from 1,295 from 2005. Among the 95 countries with students here, China had the largest presence, with 325 students at MU in 2006. The statistics for this year are not available yet.
Helping those students adjust is an important task for the International Center and international student organizations on campus.
This year, about 20 volunteers from the center provided shopping trips, organized activities and answered questions.
Student organizations offered information for newcomers and connected them with more experienced students. On Saturday, the International Friends Center held a giveaway for new international students.
Even those well-prepared beforehand sometimes struggle to fit into a strange new environment.
Ibrahim Alshiha, a student from Saudi Arabia, complained about the public transportation. He thought the bus service stopped too early. It would be more convenient if the buses could run longer, he said, even for 24 hours.
“There could be less in the evenings, but never stop it,” Alshiha said.
Because many new students don’t have cars, public transportation can be a concern. Other worries include finding housing, buying furniture, hunting for a job and obtaining a Social Security card.
Despite the difficulties, many international students adapt to life here. Unlike State College, Pa., where Alshiha attended Penn State, Columbia seems to have more local residents. Although it is not big city, he said he has found plenty of shops and interesting places he liked.
After the orientation, Gu found a volunteer from the International Center to take him shopping. Along the way, many of his questions were answered patiently. By week’s end, Gu had settled into Columbia, thanks to all the help he received. He had located his dorm room, bought some food, gotten access to the Internet and found a pillow.

转Beat了
Beat就是中文中的“口”，这是以前报章课的老师告诉我们的。
Newspaper Reporting 课程里的每一个人都要进一个新闻口工作。我依次申请了VOX（杂志口），Education和Public Life，结果被分进了Public Life.
PL的编辑是我最喜欢的Scott，但是一听到他说什么counsil meeting什么的我就犯困...我一点都不想做跟时政沾边的东西。何况我也没有车，这种东奔西跑的并不适合我...Scott说有一个beat是新开的，负责组建一个data base，于是我跟他说申请转过去了~
Scott开玩笑说you are hurting my feelings~但是其实我也觉得很可惜，这么好的编辑不是到处都有...但是又要助教又要上课，我希望这些实战的部分能够简单一些，data base那边只是办公室的工作，不需要出去跑，所以还好。
本来还有一个选择就是平时不跑新闻，但是圣诞节假期的时候跑...我觉得那太可怜了，说不定还要去state college找阿瓜呢？还是算了。
希望一切安好吧。

哭了
对着电脑屏幕，一下子哭出来了。也不知道为什么哭得那么伤心，自怜自悯终归不是一件好事情。
LauK说在芝加哥机场就哭了，也许总要哭一场吧，宣告真正的独立生活开始了。独立和孤独是不可分离的，就算表面看起来如何光彩...
擦干眼泪，看看混乱的房间...连要去买一个储物箱都要掂量着到底要求谁。今天公车线路不开，不然真想自己坐车去。痛恨自己每次东西都买不齐...
眼泪，也不是谁都会明白。
发脾气是需要权利的，如果丧失了，就不能发脾气了。可是哭，还是可以的。

No one calls me
每天晚上就想着要不要打电话回去，可是今天忽然发觉没人打给我...
其实我也不用打了，打了也不开机，理由肯定很多，一个都不想听。不可靠就是不可靠。
今天买了Diet Coke，真难喝，真难喝...拿回来做鸡翅了。明天的午餐。

这里很多中国人
这里很多中国人。
那天去Walgreen，一个24小时的类似supermarket的pharmacy.
在一大堆个人护理用品面前徜徉了很久...有一个亚洲女生走过来，用英文跟我说，你好，你要买这个吗？我以前在这个公司，我家里有很多如果你不介意，我可以送给你...
诧异...
Excuse me, where are you from?
I'm from China.
啊，我也是啊，我是今年的新生，我说...
haha
后来的故事就是，她还真的开车把东西带来图书馆(我家对面)...真是好人啊...美国小镇化的作风。
昨天三个人在沃尔玛推着单车到处跑，一个年轻妈妈跑过来，用中文说，需要帮忙吗？哈哈，礼貌地挽拒了，但是还是感觉很亲切呢！
当然啦，还是有很多中国人要把很烂的旧东西卖给同胞...(一般人家都送的)...更有其它毛病，在此就不提了。

Bike Home!
今天骑单车回家了，不是从学校，从学校只需要5分钟...从Walmart...大概用了半小时...
累...但是车车很好看...也值了...
昨天终于出门找新闻了，大家分了14个组，我觉得老师不会念我的名字，所以把我扔在了最后一组...这样就不需要点名...我们组有两个特别好看的女孩，其中一个是Barney（广院来的）的最爱，说她比戴安娜还美...嗯...好吧
Anyway，来自芝加哥的女生Kristy开车，女生一组，比较散漫，明明目标在东也往西边开...我们先到了一个户外运动商店...请注意，这里说的可不是登山什么的，而是打猎和捕鱼...很猛...里面还有一个小小的水族馆，有着世界上最大的"小翻车鱼"(Crappie)...其实也就是一个小足球那么大而已...嗯...
然后又去了老人活动中心，没什么特别的事情，不过一个老太太说背后的一家商店今早被抢劫了...于是我们跑过去看，关门休息了，问了一下旁边的公司，还真有目击证人...他说了经典的话..."我听到她尖叫，我就过去了，然后看到一个黑人带着面罩拿着枪，he asked me to get out, so I got out..."嗯，听说在美国遇到抢劫，所有人都是合作精神为上。不错。后来那个抢劫犯背了一包钱要跑，不知怎么想的去翻墙，翻不过，把钱扔了就跑了...嗯...然后警察来了...（今天发现在我们知道这件事情1个小时后报纸就出稿了）...
然后去看了一眼市政厅，里面有山东送的一小盒风筝模型...Columbia还跟崂山是姐妹城市...无语...
走出市政厅，就听到别人撞车了...真是丰富的一天...
要去写作业了...今晚要熬夜了。

又开始上课了...
老师在说灾难新闻...早上说的是讣告...看来我还是不是做新闻的料，尤其当身边的人一个个很有新闻理想的时候，越发觉得。不过说出来会很欠扁...尤其是拿着奖学金的时候...但是我就是只喜欢做生活杂志嘛！:(
之前有人说来这边会买不到衣服，size太大...其实别人还是很苗条的，虽然oversize的也很多...班上美女如云，尤其是学杂志的，可是我...哎...
老师叫Scott，跟钟志成那么瘦...呵呵，20多年的老记者了。
午餐吃了Shake's的Jumbo Dog，学校里免费发放一本plan book，就是行程安排用的，里面有很多很多优惠券，从剪头发到吃饭...所以Jumbo Dog买一送一，嘻嘻。可是明天还是带饭吧，热狗肠太粗，吃了恶心。今晚做鸡翅，哈哈！如果有时间。
刚刚文莱大哥背书包走了，在门口还跟老师bye了一下，老师一边讲课也跟他bye了一下，呵呵，有意思，要么我也走吧...课室外面很晒。
今天Tori说带我们去Walmart，她今早就顺便车了我们上学，我们出了一点停车钱，嘻嘻，好人啊 :)
Landlord今天又打电话来了...他把我当成住23号的了，但是我住6号...
听会儿课吧。

Writing a blog while having class
现在在上课呢...但是听英文真的听得很累了，休息一下...一会儿就去吃饭了。
手机有蓝牙，里面有些照片，但是不知道pin不知道如何连上电脑...麻烦。
大家都好认真...我还是去听课吧...嘻嘻
