November 14th I’m back.

8 days straight, I didn’t write anything.

I’ve been missing out in the last couple of days, but I’m glad that I got it back with me right now. I’m glad that I’m writing my blog again. It feels like the last week, or the last 8 days which I didn’t write anything at all, was a blast. I don’t know why I didn’t write, maybe just because I’m lazy. I’m amazed how easy it is to just give up something and not continue to do it. Writing everyday is actually a big task to just keep up with the blog.

I don’t even know where to start. I finished my second paper for my writing class. Well, I didn’t finish early, I procrastinated as usual. I think I finished the paper 30 minutes before turning it in. Ronnie, I’m telling you, don’t let that happen again. You could’ve got an A+ paper but you procrastinate and you get an A-. You deserve a D. I really want to turn in some quality work next time. This time the topic is for globalization. The whole book is about globalization. I compared the smiliarity and the differences of two articles that I chose. One is by Jeffery Wasserstrom and the other one is by Stephen Leonard. I like both articles. My argument for the essay is that the two articles takes different paths to understand globalization; it is an inevitable trend that our world is becoming progressively global, and through the cultural integration, only the robust and beloved cultures get to survive. I talked about how the process of globalization provides a medium for American culture to become dominant and because of that, people have to learn English to fit in this global community. I’m an example myself. I had to learn English to study in America. I just wanted to learn more about myself, and being born and raised in a place where it just want people to conform isn’t doing any help to my self-discovery. I have to be clear here, I love China and all the parts of it. I just want to learn more about myself and find out who I am as a human being.

After the second essay for my writing class we started a new book called “Lost in Translation” by Eva Hoffman. This book is about the author’s experience of being a Jewish child born and raised in Poland, moved to Canada when she was 13. The cultural differences and the langauge barrier jinxed her into this unutterable confusion where she doesn’t have to choice to go back to the old life, neither does she have hope for the life lying ahead. I can really relate to her because I had similar experience. I can tell that she is really good at using her words, and she is really smart. She knows how to connect all the dots together and form a coherent story.

I want to be able to do that too. Someday I’m gonna write a book about my life story. Someday I will. I want other people to know and understand the struggle of first generation people in America.

We drew turkey as a floor today, I was stocked because I drew a turkey that doesn’t make sense at all. It’s like a turkey with sunglasses, because deal with it. And there is a tattoo on the turkeys wings of my favorite verse of the Bible. I know it doesn’t make sense at all but it’s for Jesus.

I bought some Chips a hoy yesterday. I don’t know why but I did. I’m human and I make mistakes. Well, that wasn’t necessarily mistake, I just like chips a hoy. I have Ramen in my dorm, Diet Dr. Peper in the fridge and Chips a hoy on the shelf. Way to get fat Ronnie.

I don’t know why but I don’t really have much to talk about today.

OJ keeps it real.
