1st year Talent Show

Today there was a 1st year students talent show at Lowry center main lobby. I was asked to be there by the college radio station. Being a part of the radio station management
provides me chances to check out cool stuffs like 1st years talent show during the orientation week. This year the Freshmen class is very large, around 570 students. Most of them are very talented with musics and sense of humors. I realized that I was not talented at college through my past three years. It does not mean that I was useless in the past three years at college. I do believe that I am a kind of persons that very hard to miss. I do wish that somewhere down the road in my senior college year I will be able to learn to read music notes. I think that if a guy like me can read music notes and sing beautifully, I will be able to make more friends with angels at college!

Year Books!

A few days ago, a guy came to the science library and asked for the college year books. My co-worker told him that the science library does not have them, and they might be kept in Andrew or Gault Libraries. I did not believe the college libraries keep the year books. To my surprise, today I went over to Andrew and Gault libraries, one of the staff members told me that the college year books are kept in the Andrew Lower 2nd Floor, around call numbers LD areas. I went there in the afternoon, and found the years 2002 and 2003 college year books. I checked them out. As I read through the year books, I found that during my 1st year and 2nd year at college, I spent so much time in students organzations on campus. Thanks to all the roles that I was in students organzations, I became popular, and almost everyone on campus knew me. Last year,I decided to have fun on weekends, and checked out lots of parties on campus and few off campus. I discovered that weekend parties were way cooler and interesting than all the organzation meetings. Partying on weekends made me happy and carefree. Of course, on the down side, weekend parties gave me hung over next morning from drinking the night before. I know that in fact some people take pictures at parties, and probably I were in some of them. Well, I think that I will spend every second of my senior year worth while. Hopefully I will leave some positive and wonderful footsteps in this year's year book! I will remember enjoying every awaken moment that I have in the college senior year! Probably most of my dreams will be sweet as well!

The night before class of 09 orientation

Today is the day before 1st year orientation of the class of 09. I am a little bit sad about the fact that I am no longer an underclassmen. Being a member of graduating class is not only cool, but also rather stressful. Senior Independent Study, Graduated school, job searches, and graduation make me pretty nervous. I know that people on campus think that being a senior has good reasons for doing everything, and people will understand seniors' feelings. In the coming year, hanging out with friends, dating and partying seem to be very difficult, because there is not enough time for me to do everything I want in life. I think that I will balance my studies and social life well. I won't suddenly disapear from campus social scenes. The night before the orientation of the class of 09 just bring up my sentimental part of personality. If time could go back, I would like to re-live my freshmen year orientation week. The orientation week has always been the best week at college for me. There will be 3 days left for me to work for my summer job at the Timken Science library. Working 40 hours a week in the library makes me realize that earning money is much difficult than spending it. The night before the orientation is just like the night of full moon, make me feel so emotional and so deep.

Last Monday at summer job!

Today is the last monday that i am working at the summer job, and I feel kind of sad, and lost. Although working in the science library for the summer is not the most exciting to do for a wild person like me, I somehow start to love it, get to the work at 8 am in the morning, and get out of work at 5pm, I love the life style. I can not believe that three month of working at the library for the summer approaches to its end. When I was a kid, I did not like the libraries much, because they are too quiet for me to be at. I think that after this summer, I will study in the libraries a lot for the coming academic year, because it is way cooler than my single room. Wes is a very nice gentleman, and he is the best boss ever. He has magics to fix all the problems which occur in the library, no matter it is a light problem, or a computer bug. Donna is a very cool lady, sometimes she is little bit strict, but I think that I get along with her much better now. Library staff members in general are very sweet, and very helpful, they always find ways to cheer others up. I think that I do not like the word "last", just as much as I do not "Goodbyes". At the beginning of the summer, I was kinda hoping to get promoted to a student coordinator in the library, but oh well, I think that whether not being promoted at my "last" summer at wooster is not such a big deal for me. I am very glad that one of my co-worker Liz French got promoted to be a student coordinator, and I think that she will do a very beautiful job at the library. Today, my friend gave me a lot of amazing sea shells, and I think that I will use them to make my mini bar in my room look interesting. The high light of the day so far was the visiting of Stella. For whom you do not know Stella, she has been a very good and loyal friend of mine, and she likes rock climbing. She is an angel to me, but she does not like to wear any make ups. Last year, I called her "My Brother", and she was happy about it. I think that to have a good friend like Stella is a very good exprience at college. I think that no matter what I am doing after college, I will be forever thankful to have a "Brother" at woo town, whose name is Stella.

Carefree

I can not believe that summer 05 approaches its end. I will have to face the reality of the college senior year. Being a senior is kind of scary for me, but once school starts, I will get used to be a senior. I love to be a very increditable senior at college, and be very happy everyday. I will not allow anything to upset me or worry me. Getting on the Dean's List will be my goal for the academic area. Other than that, I will be a hundred percent of carefree. From my 1st semester, I have had moments of being blue or upset over both small things and big things. I think that it is the time for me to end of being upset or dramatic over anything. I will be only carefree, and live moments as they come. I wanna live my entire senior year as Lion King movies, the secret words will be "HAKUNA MATATA".

campus back to life

This past week. the wooster campus came back to life after almost three months of quiet summer break. Summer break is the best part of being a student, no homework to due, no tests, papers and exams to prepare, no worries about being late to classes. Summer jobs are the best, you go in the morning, expect some actions in the days, fill your time cards, and wait for the pay checks. The summer on woo campus has been very quiet, no loud music, no parties, and no beer cans lying around campus. Begin with August 14th, Football players started to come back, and enjoy their football camp. Begin with August 19th, band people returned to campus, along with other sport teams. I like it when the campus back to life. I know that very soon, the parties will return to the campus. I am hoping with all the hard classes I am taking, and meetings, there will still be plenty time for me to get out and enjoy good times with my friends, and making new friends!

Second to the last Thursday in summer work

Today is my second to the last Thursday in summer work at the Timken Science Library. In the past three years at college, Wednesday has been my favorite day of the week. I often said to myself that if I can survive until Wednesday, I can probably survive through the rest of the week. The libraries in summer at college have been very quiet and very slow, and sometimes I have to get up and work around, avoid to fall in sleep at the circulation desk. At the very beginning of the summer, I thought that summer months would last forever. Some days in summer I just wanna school to start on the next day, so I can get to see my friends. This summer, I have been reading so many books on math, and few books on life in general. I can not believe that myself can actually sit down and read a book for hours. I guess boring summer kinda make a "professional" party animal to a "IM" book worm. Timken science library has air conditioning, and often time I get frozen in the building. I have to get up and walk outside and warm up. Some of friends told me that i am very forunate to work in an air conditioned place, and I told them that they are right about it, and I now understand what is like to be a "cold beer". Tomorrow is going to be Friday, Yay! This week has been like a life roller coast for me. Personally, I do not like to ride life roller coast, because sometimes I feel so down, and blue. Now I know summer quickly approaches to its end. I would like to extend summer for one more month, then I would be totally ready for my senior college year. All I can do now is enjoying last few days of peace and quietness, and free from doing homework and preparing for mid-terms and finals. I am hoping that all my friends will enjoy the last few days of summer 05. I also kinda hoping all my friends will come back to college with their dreams and some of dreams can actually come true!

A very Dramatic Day

It was such a dramatic day for me. I was very sad in the morning, because I attended my friend, Pat's service at St. Mary. The day was long, and I was very tired of working at the library. After work, as I was watching my Favorite TV shows, Gilmore girls, the 7th Heaven, and the smallvile on abc family, my friend, Steve called me and said to me that he was going to leave Wooster and moving to somewhere else. He and I went down drugmart and bought some alcohol, and planned to have a Goodbye party. I have never liked the idea of Goodbye party, because I do not like saying goodbyes to friends. I can not believe that I gonna miss two friends in one day! I wanna cry!

Yesterday Once more!

When I was young
I'd listen to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile.

Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well.

Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's
So fine.

When they get to the part
Where he's breakin' her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more.

Lookin' back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed.

It was songs of love that
I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away.

Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's
So fine.

All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry.

Just like before
It's yesterday once more.

It is one of my favorite song, and everytime I listen to the song and I could not help but have tears in my eyes. Both good and sad memeories are shown in my mind as movie slides. I know that I wish sometimes I could re-live certain days of my life, such as the 1st time I was in love. I am happy that I am going to be a senior at college in less than 20 days. Maybe I am not quite ready to leave college life behind, but I guess that I have to accept and hold certain responsiblities as a college senior, and some creature called "Grow-up".

A Shocking news!

A few minutes ago, I IMed my friend, Mary, and as we chatted, she told me a shocking news. She told me that the secretary of the campus ministry, Pat passed away couple days ago. I was totally shocked, and could not believe that Pat passed away. Pat is a very nice and sweet lady at college, and she is willing to help anyone with difficulties. Pat was sent to the hospital in the late April 2005, and I felt terribly sad about the fact that she had to leave the campus. When Linda sent out an e-mail, and told everyone on WVN that Pat had only few weeks to live, I was so sad, and cried a lot. I asked all the people in my church to pray for God to make Pat feel better and overcome the sickness. I know that the campus will be much different to me personally without seeing Pat and her cheerful smile around. Last March, on my 21st Birthday day, Pat sent me a birthday card, and I felt so happy. I was looking forward to seeing Pat attend my graduation at college.

Why God took such a wonderful person away from my life?! I believe that Pat now is resting in the Heaven! Pat will be forever living in my heart!

New Text books

There is always a very sad day at the very beginning of every semester, called buying all the text books for all the courses I am taking at college. Text books in U.S.A. are like the diamonds, cost students arms and legs to buy them. Forunately, there is a way to save a dollar or two, which is buying USED books. Normally the USED books cost half price of the new ones. However, not all students have the luck to buy them, because of the limited number. Today, I went to get a hair cut with David, my pastor's oldest son. I stopped the Lowry Center on way back to Armington. I stopped by the Lowry, because I wanted to say hi to all my Football team friends at college. To my surprised, I found out the college book store starting to sell the text books for the new semester. Without any thinkings, I walked into the store, and bought all the text books for my two math courses. It cost me 55 dollars. My heart was bleeding when I paid money. Next Friday or Saturday, I will buy the all the text books for the rest of my courses. I hope that I will not spend all my paycheck on the textbooks.

New Laptap-Dell

Today during lunch I saw an ad at the lowry center, and someone was selling a laptap for 400 dollars. I called up the man, and asked him about the laptap. The man sounded very nice on the phone, so I decided to check out the computer, and probably buy it. I asked the guy to bring the laptap to Lowry center, and my friend Aung (a very smart computer person) was kind enough to help me check the computer out. And it turned out to be a very sweet deal. And I bought it. The New laptap will lead me to the victory of senior I.S. I will most likely spend the whole senior 1st semester on my senor I.S. carol. I will would like my friends to drop by my carol and visit me. I just hope that I will be very productive in my senior year. I would love to graduate with decent G.P.A. It would be super sweet that my name appears on the Dean's list in senior year.
I will rock my academic hardcore! The new laptap will keep me company from the very second I bought it to like forever!

Walking Tall and When in Rome

When I was a Freshmen at the college, my world was black and white. In other words, I always accepted things as they appeared. However, at the woo town, most people live their lives in the area of grey. During my 1st year orientation week, I decided to run for a senator seat at the Student Government Association. I made friends with 99% of the population, and I won the election. I took the senator business a little bit more seriously than it supposed to be. At the end of my 1st year, I was the only 1st year to run for the President of The Student Government Association. I believed that I would win! Unfortunately, I did not win. My heart was broken to thousand pieces, and most of my dreams were crushed. I left Woo town for a semester, which was 4 or 5 months of my Sophmore year. At the beginning, I did not want to go back to Woo, because of all the past. Then one day I was sitting at home and saw a movie called "Top Gun". The movie made me decide to go back to Wooster, and pick up and put together all the pieces of my dreams and heart from the end of my 1st year. As soon as I came back to Woo, and I made new friends and got back together with old friends. At the very 1st second I got back to Wooster, I made a promise to myself, which was being forever "walking tall", and standing up for what I believe and the justice. I am no longer a baby, and I need to grou up and learn not to cry at every time people critize on me. Besides walking tall, I also decided to lead a life like "When in Rome". Summer in Rome,the air is full of romance, understanding, caring and certainly team work. Certainly summer in Woo, I fouund the same!
In about 17 days, I am going to start my senior college life. I will keep the two principles of Da's promises, "Walking Tall" and "When In Rome".

Life without TV

Since this Wednesday 5pm, college has had some terrible thing called Cable repairs. Therefore I was not able to watch Gilemore girls, 7th Heaven, and sex and city,plus all the wonderful shows on Disney Channel. The cable repairs will last until tomorrow, the best day of the week, A.K.A. Friday. Life is so boring without watching TV to me. I was fine before I had TV in my room. Now, I am totally addicted to the TV shows. Without watching TV, I could not even think straight, or have hopes in my life. Gilmore girls are very special to me, and every day I learn something from it. 7th Heaven is awesome as well, and I would like one day call my family the 7th Heaven. Every morning, I would get up and watch Saved by the Bell, and laugh with Zack and his pals from school. Without TV, life is totally like a glass of tube water or air, no color, no taste, and no shape. I do not understand why the college has to make Da upset or make Da's life sad by doing stuff like taking away cable. Well, at least, I get the Internet.
I miss my TV shows, and cute cable, and I hope that they will miss me as well. I will hang out with TV on Friday and the weekend.
Tonight I will play some monopoly with friends, and probably take a walk on campus. Speak of having walks on campus after dark, I have to be super careful. Last night, I was walking around campus, and thinking of some stuff. Suddenly I stepped on a hard core PORKUPINE. Oh Gosh, my feet hurt so badly. And I thought I heard the porkupine laughing, or maybe not. During the past three year at woo town, it was my 1st time run into a porkupine. I believe that he or she must be someone's pet. Oh well, I hope that Mr. or Mrs. porkupine will forgiving me for stepping on him or her.

summer rain or storm

This summer I stay at wooster, seems like a dumn idea, but it turns out to be it is a very amazing and educational summer for me. I learn to work as a full time staff member at the library. I learn to get up in morning, and be ready at work by 8am. Working as a full time staff sometimes is not easy and fun, because in summer library is boring and not eventful. However, this summer is perfect for me to get head start on my senior I.S. Library is full of books, so everyday I feel like to be swimming a sea of books. Although in reality (I mean in the pool with water) I swim like a rock, I somehow manage to survive the sea of books. Summer at woo town. rains and storms a lot. In the beginning, I was scared by them. Now I start to like them, because they make me to think a lot, things in life, and people I pass by in life. Summer rains and storms do not usually last long. Summer rains and storms are like tragics in life. Tragics happen to everyone in life, but I always remember that being hopful and cheerful, because rainbows always appear in the sky after rains and storms!

Soccer

Last Fall, I was hired as a ball boy by P.E.C. Being a ball boy was so much fun. Besides more dollars added to my lovely paychecks, I made friends with many soccer players. Mili, Gerry, Tree, DJ, Sarah, Lux, and Reiner are very cool people to hang out with. Mili's friend, Emily is a totally sweet girl. The time of a year passed so fast. Mili, Gerry, Sarah, Lux, Reiner and Emily graduated, and started a new life after college. Some of them go to graduated schools, some of them are going to take a year off, and do some traveling, and some of them are doing job hunting, and start to get "REAL" paychecks. I can not believe that I am going to be a senior college student in like 2 weeks. Time is running everyday, and we will never realize how much time we waste on panic or being upset.
This Fall, I am hired by P.E.C. and continuing ball boy job. I am so glad to see the soccer games. I hope that both Men's and Women's soccer teams are going to win the champingship. And meet more awesome soccer players.

P.S. Da always hearts people come to support Soccer games!

New Chinese Lanuage Assistant

Today Dr. Wang and I went to the Cleveland airport to pick up the new Chinese Lanuage Assistant. Her name is Feng. She seems to be a very nice and friendly lady. She has a one year old daughter. I think that she is going to be awesome, and help the Chinese program improve.

Well, I hope that she will make good friends at wooster, and have a great year at woo town!

1st weekend in August 2005

This weekend is full of shocking news. 1st of all, the Pastor's son of my church is fall in love 1st time of his life. 2nd of all, my 1st year roommate Lee found himself a girlfriend. Congrets to all of them. Third news of all, I am only a single man of my Freshmen year of hall, how sad or tragic it is! Well, probably I desire it! I do go to church every Sunday, and keep up with my Friday night Bible studies. I saw a movie called "Wedding Cursher" with Lee, my 1st year roommate, a real Gentleman in the whole unverse. I learned the meaning of "True Love". True love means both of two people loving each other, understand each other's feelings, forgiving each other's mistakes, supporting each other, and having faith in each other.
I Want to live Right! However, I Do not Know How! Father, I am lost! Please Help your Son Dapeng Hu!

God be mericiful to me a sinner! I believe Christ died for my me and that His Precious blood will cleanse me from all my sin. By faith I now recieve the Lord Jesus Christ into my heart as my Lord and my Savor; trusting Him for the salvation of my soul. Help me Lord to do thy will each day. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen

I could not wait!

When I was a Freshmen college student, I could not wait to become a senior, because of I.S. Monday (Seniors can all party together, and have a night of celebration!).

When I was a Freshmen college student, I could not wait to turn to 21, a magical age in The United States of America, because your ID ( Not C.O.W. Card) can get you everything you want, (Not Drugs).

When I lived in a double room with a roommate, I could not wait to have a single room, therefore I would be a king of my world!

Now I am a raising senior at college, I could not wait to wear my I.S. botton, and have good times with my class!

In general, we always could not wait to move on to more advanced stages in life. However, after we grow older, we often wish to be young again, to be able to fall in asleep in mother's arms.

The Sex and City

I love watching TV during the summer, because watching TV keeps me staying in the room, and not going out and get drunk. Last semester. many people at wooster mentioned "The Sex and City" to me, and I were very tight up with studies and meetings, so I did not get a chance to check it out. Today, I turned on my TV after work, and I saw there was a show called "The Sex and City" on TBS. I loved the show, not only because of the attractive title, but also the content. I recommend all my friends to watch it for at least once.

All by the way, tonight after reading some math books and Harry Potter, I decided to empty one of my closets, and "build" a mini bar in my room. I think that "Pacey Potter" will be a good name for it! As soon as school starts, I will open the bar to all my friends and cool and friendly C.O.W. students (Certainly they have to be 21 or over). And the cost will be 50 cents for the door! All the people can drink all they want. The bar will open most Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays' nights! Always Remember to DRINK RESPONSIBLY!

To my neighbors A.K.A. hall mates in Armington, I will keep the noise level down, therefore you can catch on your sleeps and I.S. on weekend nights!

Please come and have a good and "WILD" time with DA!

Being 21

Since March 2005, I have turned to a new age in my life, which is old enough to drink without hiding from security and safety officers. At the first few months, being 21 was so much fun and so cool. I thought that I could not ask more in life, but enjoy being 21 and hanging out with cool and friendly town people at Decades and Seatles. After things keeps being the same for like 2 and half months on weekends, I decided that life started to be boring, and not as I was hoping for. I now have stopped going to Decades on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays nights. Instead, I forced myself to stay in, watching TV, reading books and writing I.S.
Today is my good friend, Kate Carden's birthday, and I wish I could ask her out on a date. However, I do not think that Kate and I can be more than friends, it is understandable. After 3 years being at college, I realize that most times being friends is way better than being in a serious relationship, because I do not have to go through all the dramas. I believe that Kate and I can have fun together, means getting drunk together on weekends' nights.
Well, well, I have to get up early, for taking my grandma to the cleveland airport, and seeing her traveling back to Beijing, China. As soon as she leaves, I will announce the joys of summer offically start for me, even though just can only last for 2 weeks!
