The English in the following post will be broken up, not follow logical flow and may be grammatically incorrect but I couldn’t care less as I’m exhausted and haven’t properly blogged in weeks/months.
Today I finished the last exam in my first year of university. I think I did pretty well. In HKUST it would mean “relative-to-the-mean well” since we’re graded on a curve. None of my grades are out yet but they’ll definitely be better than the disaster that they were last semester.
Tomorrow morning I leave for Manassas, Virginia (Washington DC suburb) for 3 months! That’s my whole summer break. So I won’t get to spend any relaxation time with high school friends coming back to HK for the summer or my friends from uni staying here for the summer. That really sucks. Yeah.
I had an interesting experience packing tonight. You see, Continental Airlines doesn’t like musicians (or aspiring musicians such as myself, haha what a joke) and do not allow you to bring anything bigger than a “small instrument” on-board. A guitar is definitely not a small instrument. I don’t have a hard case for it so the only option was to decapitate my Strat, wrap the neck and body in bubble wrap and pad it with clothing and stuff it in a suitcase that will be checked in. Here’s hoping that I will still have a properly functioning/sounding guitar when I put it back together on the other side. Please………….
My plans for this summer are to study for courses I’ll be taking next semester, practice a lot of guitar (given that I still have one once I land in the US), help my parents renovate a house, get a driver’s license and hit up all the museums in DC for a second time. And hopefully meet new people so I don’t die of social depravation or something.
I’m tired now but I shouldn’t sleep so I’ll watch that Prison Break DVD thing I blogged about previously.
I’m done with my first year of university! Only 2 more to go!
