I got Monday sick! I slept on bus, studied in classes, uh-hum, It's all...
My grammar and speaking teacher, Chris always likes to ask me questions unexpectedly..., and I always answer unexpectedly...but, she is a good teacher.
I did my homework after being home. It takes me 3 hours, oh my...I think all students are reluctant to do their homework, but they should, and they will do!

Let's go Bucs! Let's go Bucs! All people around stadium yelled together! BUT! suck pirates! you are loser! They lost to St. Louis Cardinals, 11-4. At first, their pitch lost too much, so at later innings, they couldn't get goals back. One man yelled on top floor: I still believe. Then they lost that game.....ha. Pirates have stagnated since 1979, Nobody cares about their losing or winning. They care Pittsburgh Penguins (ice hocky) and Steelers (football).
Although they lost the game, I still have a great day, today. The Gibbons(grandparents and parents) and me had an exciting baseball game and happy dinner in Taipei-Tokyo resturant. I ate scallops, jumbo shrimps, and lobster meat with mushroom (called seafood mongolian, I thought it doesn't make sense).I have a nice day.
And Happy Mother's Day, Mom, I love you so much.

Great Saturday! I didn't get up early, and slept well. Eating breakfast slowly, walking slowly, moving slowly...and back to sleep slowly. (How the slowly you are!).

Today, Rob, an ESL teacher and many students graduated from ESL program guided us to downtown Pittsburgh. All the things are new, we were excited.
We walked around Mulberry Way and had fun. Then, walked to downtown. We saw the PNC park,home of the Pittsburgh Pirates (baseball), PNC broadway (Benedum Center), Point State Park, and many bridges. Rob said in Pittsburgh, there are many bridges (440 bridges by googled), even more than Italy or Venice. And some students said bridges in Venice(400 bridges by googled) are more than Pittsburgh, but Rob said there are more small "bridges" , actually, people shouldn't call those "bridges." Haha! funny!

吃完飯就掛了...
能力分級後的上課計畫出爐了，去書店買了上課需要的書，雖然是二手書(used)但是還是貴的嚇人，買了六本就175.2 元！買書的感覺很像哈利波特裡自己買書的情景， 很有學生的感覺，只是都有一堆外國學生擠在櫃子前講著自 己的方言，然後又很大聲...實在是破壞了這書店的氣氛。
在美國不知不覺地就變得更獨立了，自己搭公車(在台灣讀書 大家都有機車，誰要搭公車)，有問題、要幫忙根本不會在 意顏面很自然的會去問人，這就是所謂的成長吧！(停滯不前才 會讓自己覺得不知道自己到底在幹麼。)

今天一早就自己搭公車到學校附近，果然我的推論是正確的！這次搭公車就沒有在被多收錢了！(其實是我少給啦)，早上是一些學校活動簡介，並且認識了許多朋友，來自台灣、大陸、日本、韓國的，中東的我還沒有機會認識哈！
很意外台灣來了超多人！一個死胖子吱吱喳喳用中文在教室聊天 聊得很大聲，你他媽的以為這是台灣喔！

今天是學期的第一天，有一連串的考試和面談為期一週，每天 要七點起床，準備出門，七點半公車，八點到九點左右到達 學校，晃個幾十分鐘到教室。雖然一天只有上課4小時，但長時 間的搭車讓我覺得比上課還累。
今天一去報到，填完資料，監考官就開始叫我們依據給的題目 寫一篇文章，不論好壞就是一直寫，三十分鐘後換聽力測驗， 之後筆試考文法、單字、對話等等，這比在大學四年碰到 的英文考試還多...我旁邊的是個台灣的來的女生，我本 來想秀出中華民國的護照說：我們來自同一個國家，不過並 沒時間跟她攀談，考試沒有間斷。整個都結束之後，竟然有 四個女生在走廊談論彼此是住哪，用國語，霎那間，我真不 曉得我是在台灣考試還是在美國，真像在台灣的大學考完期中 考，大家吱吱喳喳的討論著那樣...。
另外，我室友又要婊我...明明公車兩段就是2.75他還 說2.00要轉乘要多加0.75他跟我說0.5，今天已 經兩次被說：我知道你在哪上車的，你必須多付0.75(我只 付了一段2.00的錢)，shit!
