Last Friday was the end of the first quarter. It has been an stressful and nerve-racking couple of months. G4, tests and quizzes almost everyday, and of course on top of all that...College applications.

My Early Actions applications is already sent into the college...I know that I shouldn't have any hope of getting in there, but I'll keep my fingers crossed anyways.

 

Don't really know what to write now...I've written too much for college apps...

 

October break was long but not as relaxing as other breaks. Though we went to ChengDe to see the Imperial Summer Palace in ChengDe, somehow I just couldn't enjoy myself. I just could let it go and really immerse myself in the grand yet delicate scenes. Maybe the pressure is really starting to get to me... All the applications and the end of first quarter at school -- the atmosphere is dense. I'll have to figure out a way to get myself out of this mess...

 

Yesterday was the mid-autum festival. Yet there was no moon in Beijing City. what a shame. We had some grat mooncakes though. Aunt called and she said maybe the moon just became mooncakes. She was trying to cheer us up. But the truth is that the poplution in Beijing is so bad now that you can hardly see anything that's right there in front of you. I think it's time that factories start to close down in the city; otherwise, how are they going to hold the Olympics in 2008?...
