Lehigh ^^

Hello my dear readers, it is been a while since I last blogged. Now, I have stayed in Brodhead House for a bit more than three weeks. To the contrary of my initial speculation, none of my roomies are German, even though  their names sound German to me. People studying at Lehigh are mainly from Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey plus the international. Well, I find myself adapting to the life here very much thanks to the help of the officers , the fellow Malaysians at Lehigh (less than 10) and also the transfer orientation.

So where exactly people think I am from? Most people will first guess whether I am from China, since I am a Chinese after all. I couldn't blame them for guessing this because the number of Chinese students from China is really A LOT. There was once a Chinese who guessed that I am from Taiwan after listening to me speaking in chinese. Well, I guess my accent somewhat resembles the accent of Taiwanese people.

One interesting thing is that some Chinese students actually think I don't speak chinese language. They are like (dabeliuteeF???) when I speak Chinese to them.


Here at Lehigh, the amount of homework given by the professor is enough to keep me in front of my desk doing work. I would rather say that the amount of homework is manageable instead of heavy, it will not become a problem if you do your homeworks consistently and continually. This is where I fail hard. Procrastinators never learn, though they shall suffer. Clearly, I am suffering. Well, doing homework last minute really is stressful and detrimental to my health. Procrastination leads to sleep deprivation and stress. Sleep deprivation leads to lack of focus in class and consequently bad performance in class.

I AM working hard to change this habit though.

Guess I am heading back to work for now...=)
