Frankfurt am Main

Christmas market in Frankfurt, where German National Team celebrated their victory after World Cup 2006.


I guess this is the river called Main. That's how Frankfurt am Main comes from.

My flight finally landed in Germany after staying in Amsterdam for nearly 4-hour delay. Germany is so cold, but not snowing. Weather is still nice, but freezing cold. I went to Frankfurt am Main couple of days ago, it was a very beautiful city. I had nice German snacks in its Christmas market, and got some hot wine to warm me up. I saw the European Central bank with a big euro sign out there, but I had no euro sign in my pocket, quite unfortunately. Pictures will come out soon.

Finally, I am done for my finals~

Oh, this entire week is hell. I had four exams on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I was so tired and stressed out last couple of weeks. Now I am done, although I didn't do well for my finals, anyway, it is over now. I feel relieved. After a nice Thanksgiving, I worked incredibly hard, like a machine, trying to get everything done within two weeks. I even went to Chicago for my stupid visa application right before my finals. Chicago was freaking cold at this time of the year, really "Windy", but Michigan Avenue is still pretty. One of my friends supposed to give me a ride to Chicago, but he trapped into an emergent situation right before our trip, so I had to book my flight one day before I went. It was so bad, not only the price of the ticket, but also my mood. I was so freaking out at that time. I can't blame him because he's got some emergent things, which he didn't expect to happen; but it also sucks.

Finally, I am done. Cheers! I am going to Germany this winter break to visit my friends there. They are so excited now, and so I am. I've always wanted to go to Europe, but never get time and chance to go, now here I go. Piggy, "Devil" is coming, be careful. I will rob every nice thing in your animal zoo. lolz~ I will keep my trip updated if I have time.

First Snow in Bloomington

It is snowing now, in Bloomington at the beginning of December. Oh, I don't know why I get so excited as I already lived in a snow state for nearly two years. Anyway, I am currently freaking out for my final exams, cause I've got too many things to do, but too few time left, and I have no idea on one course at all. I don't know how I could manage to pass. Woo, the snow is getting heavy now, tomorrow will be nice, hopefully.
Here is the conversation between one of my friends and me:
Y: Hi, it is snowing here, in IN, can't you believe it?
Friend: Oh, it is midnight, already.
Y: It is snowing, I am so excited.
F: Oh, it is not my business.
Y: Hey, snowing is beautiful, why don't you feel any excitement.
F: I only feel sleepy. Good night!
Hang off the phone. Can't you believe my terrible friend~
