Woke up early today, had breakfast at Annenberg (picture on the left, the Freshman Dining Hall) with Ray (roommate) and headed down to Divinity Ave at the East Asian Language Department for an Oral Interview. Yes, an oral interview in Chinese, which I really sucked... i dont know if I'm placed at the beginner or advanced beginner based on that interview, but later on I went to see the professor and she talked to me for a while and said I can join the advanced beginner class, although I should work doubly hard (people here can speak and understand, but cant write and read). Anyways, that's for Chinese...
Went to Cambridgeside Galleria in the afternoon with Dimitri, bought Down Comforters which were originally $180, but due to the discount and the Macy's card, I got it for around $26! What a good deal.. Seriously. It can keep me warm this fall and winter.. :)
I'm going to take Ec1010, a higher level econ course of Prof Miron. I'll be skipping Ec10, intro econs, which is by Prof Gregory Mankiw (I would have loved to be in his class too).
And guess what, I got into the Freshman Seminar! Wohoo!!! Lucky enough to be one of the 12 the professor picked from the 40 applicants! Hehe. Really excited for this one as we aim to 'tackle the toughest challenges in US Higher Education - Funding, Curriculum, Public vs Private, Admissions, Diversity, Standardized Testing (SATs), etc".
As for Math, still don't know if I should stick with 1b or just go for 21a. Few more days to decide, I can still shop for classes next week though.
Just came back from the Harvard Carnival.. ate free food (not bad, but not as good as Annenberg Food) and shot some hoops... gonna go to the Freshman Talent Show at 9pm at the steps of the Memorial Church...or perhaps it's gonna be at the Science Center since it's raining!
Tomorrow's gonna be an exciting thing, gonna do something I'm familiar and really like - playingg with kids. Volunteered for a service trip to play with Chinatown Kids at the Boston Common. Yup, I shall write more about it some other day.
