3rd August 2004

Here is some news for today. I looked for the apartment for the whole day. It took me a while to look over all the apartments. Plus today is ultra hot!!!! That didn't make my apartment search easy. But finally I found a 1 bedroom furnished apartment which is about 10-15 mins walk to business buildings. It's $465 per month includes all the utilities. So I don't have to run over to the post office and pay the bill. All I have to do is to pay the phone bill. I like that apartment. It's roomy and clean. The closet is almost as big as my room in Hong Kong. Isn't that nice? Tomorrow I'll go to register for classes. After that I'll head back to Champaign and take approximately 3 days rest before I completely move down to SIU. Yup...that would be the last few days that I could stay in Champaign my dream university campus town. Although I'm here in Carbondale, my mind and all the memories are still in Champaign. I'm still little upset about my past. I just think it shouldn't be this way. Until now I feel that everything is so uncertain. I've never feel anything like this. Perhaps that's life. I'll try to get over it in this week. God...please help this little baby Alan.
