Thanks, Cal! I'm sure I'll be a great student, moreso than I was in high school (although even then, I was praised often). It's just I am a very independent person regarding work. I don't know how to push myself to ask about assignments and whatnot for classes.
At least I won't fear professors. I know several who were or qualified to be a professor (my best friend's mother would make a wonderful science professor or for anything... she is just so smart TTATT They're always looking for professors here, but it would require moving and she wouldn't want to do that). It's just assignments. All my professors sound like lovely individuals rather than scary. My mother only had one bad professor, and that's a completely different story altogether...
My boyfriend and mother never lived in residence. So they can't give me any tips or anything. He lived in his empty parents' house and she lived with either her uncle or her family.

New Zealand looks nice... i was considering studying there as Australians pay domestic fees there (and vice verca) but i won't be able to get a student loan till my third year, meaning i'd need around $18,000 lol. + Universities there are not as good as the ones here.
But ah i'd love to study abroad... it'd be so great to just escape from everywhere.
I'll try to study abroad for a year on an exchange though! Which University i'll go to i'm not sure though.

@foreignfilmfreak
What type of residence is it like?
Is it like a dormitory? Or like a shared house?

Dormitory. A big one, with mostly single rooms. I've only been in one other residence since I've been here, and it wasn't up to the standards mine lays out. :B But it was cute and cozy~. But quite loud (mine is fairly quiet).
Anyhow, I've made a couple friends. And there's one Japanese guy here with very nice long hair I want to touch... like, Taemin-length hair. He sat beside me at lunch. Except I don't think my Chinese friend liked his friends very much because she didn't find them attractive... and she said this quite loudly.

Had a dream so real that, when I woke up earlier, I started making plans in my schedule.
Anyone knows how to battle inception?

Inception is not very wrong thing ofcourse it is not possible to go inside one's dream but there may be several dream layers i myself experienced once. Must say it was not a good experience. And to understand if you are inside a dream or not my best choice is go inside a library. Our mind can not rewrite all the books so i think it can be a solution however i do not know the boundary of our brain it can so vividly create a virtual world that someone hardly can doubt.

That sounds cool. I wish we had more dorms in Australian universities but the older universities here have residential colleges which are just fancy/expensive old school dorms lol. Im going to stay in university owned share housing though, so i hope i'll have good roommates.
Lol thats a bit weird of ur chinese friend to say aloud!

Oh what was that dream like? Your layered one?
I never have interesting dreams, always boring normal life things and almost every time i can tell im dreaming anyway :S
So i like to hear about others' dreams.

Ah, Cal, my friend is just very straight forward and doesn't know when she's being innocent or rude. XD Some of the things she's done are quite embarrassing, but she doesn't realize if she's in the wrong. Until after, then she feels really bad. She and her friends are so innocent though. XD Not that I'm any better.
It has been 17 hours since I last heard from him, and now I miss him more than I did the first two weeks of university.... geh.

It was last year most probably. I was very tensed about something.The dream was very inception like but rather than in a random place i actually woke up from sleep in my room.(layer 1) i was seeing a second dream in that sleep which i did not remember. After waking up from the dream i actually thought of waking up and was in the future and did my regular chores and something happened and i was not very happy about it (which actually came true later but in a different form) .So when i woke up from the dream really i actually thought that thing happened until i noticed the date.It felt so real that i could not understand which one is the truth.The logical explanation is that my subconscious mind was so disturbed for some reason that it created a unevitable image of future like if you jump from the roof you will prabably die.I think that is the reasoon why it came true.But the dream was a unique experience really.

I am NOT looking forward to navigating the library by myself to look at some books.. maybe I'll get my friend from that class to come with me, but she's already almost done... :/ Hm..
Finally get to Skype my boyfriend tonight though. But I've got homework...

The problem with skype: you can't use it if the other party is not online.
My brother who's on a study trip in India is using Skype to call home. The problem is, because he never tells us when he's actually online, my mom has took to just leaving the computer on at night with the speakers on.

I'm OK with that. The only problem for me is my computer is too slow to make good calls. :/ So sometimes the call suddenly quits. And then it takes a good while to make it work again.
I don't even have much on this thing... but it still runs slow.

Well, I deleted stuff, but I really don't have many programs running, to be honest. :/ I try and put nothing on this computer, but it still runs slow. But the browsers are fast (I have no issue with Internet Explorer like some people, it doesn't ever fail me except on my computer back home lol).
Sooooo...
My hall neighbour is crushing on one of my friends!! But he's being shy about it. hehe I don't know if she'll see him that way and I don't know if he's hinted that he likes her to anyone else yet. But he has to me. I noticed the other day he sent a picture to her on facebook and was like, "Hmm, I thought you two didn't know each other?". Then we sat together at dinner. He started talking to me more after dinner oddly. XD
It's so cute though! But I understand why he's afraid to let his feelings develop further.  She's only an exchange student, and he's an international student in his third year. He's still depressed after he and his ex broke up because they couldn't see each other since they went to universities in different countries.
I'd like to help him, even just a little. :/ I'm very happy he's beginning to talk to me more now. XD Instead of just making very short, awkward conversation. lol He wants to make friends with my boyfriend too, when he comes back. I don't know why he does, but he kept telling me to introduce them to each other.

Taking my friend shopping for the first time since she arrived in Canada = Priceless.
There were many amused workers today. Although I almost half died when I went to the washroom and came back to find our bags alone on a chair. Luckily the custodian was watching them and noticed how terrified I looked. He just smiled when he realized the situation. XD She still has stuff to learn.
