-september 17- Sunny, but as cold as sh@t
I've always being stating the fact that god just LOVES to hit people right in the face, and guess what, today it happened again. The result of this stupid ELPE test is out, and guess what, of course as the master of English definitely got through this piece of crap nice and well…. NOT! In fact, I failed, with a f@cking 50%! DAMN! How is that possible?! Clearly, the essay that I was asked to write is EXACTLY what I used to get 90s in Mrs Lee's class, and now I'm getting 50%! Isn't it just awesome when you fell that life just poked you from behind? I do!
At first I thought it is just the marking people is super cruel or whatever, they are just trying to stand up straight for a standard that an international top 10 university deserves. However, it wasn't until 1 minute latter that I've found out that almost all international students failed, and guess what, they all got 50%! And you just know what's going on there right away, because now here you have: some one who's getting 90% in English 12 and can talk English better than some native speakers who is seriously getting a mark that other Chinese people who can't even call their English names right is getting. WTF! I was so piece off right there, but the years of endurance training manages to help me cill down. It's nothing big right? It's not like the end of the world, for passing the ELPE isn't the only way of getting things done right. So what I did is that I swapped my short story class with ENG 109, which is a credited course of university of Waterloo. You pass this baby with a 60%, which really is something anyone can do so long as you are actually writing stuff, you can do it with both of your eyes shut. The only thing that makes me angry is that some CANADIAN CHINESE students there who still, can't even spell their names right got 70s and 80s. I took it as a personal offence for that you know? If there is ever unfairness, now THIS is the ultimate form of unfairness.
Just talked to Steph about this. Feeling much better now.As what my ancient mentor who's almost 50 years older than me remind me once again, if I can survive this and manage to keep up with my stubbornness in terms of studying, I will ultimately prevail. Just a side note, where the hell is fairness in this world anyway?
And maybe everything bad is all good to you after all. Who knows?~I

    I'm perfectly calm now. Ok, nothing big, I can handle it. I had my first English 109 class today, and it was just SUPER! Not only is it fairly easy and simple, but also there is only no more than 20 people in my class. Personally, I think it is PERFECT! Well, at least it is perfect for me. I love the class, I love the professor, and I love my classmates. One thing that I'm really feeling happy about is that due to some kind of management problem, the class text book isn't there all the way until yesterday, which means that they can't start the first project all the way until today, which actually means I didn't actually miss anything, which is AWESOME!
    Today, when I was taking money out from the BMO cash machine, I run into this old lady who is trying to find an actual BMO bank. And since I have nothing to do other than to waste my stupid time, so I decided to walk her there. And OMG! Now I'm seriously think about me being a great block of magnet for old women, for me and she became almost instant friend. Through our communication, it turns out that she is actually a host family activity leader and has being taking care of international students for more than 10 years. We really liked each other, and she had even offered to become my temporary emergency contact….
    Well, it is true that kind people always attract nice people around him, and I might as well just marry Stephnie after all.I

      It's such an honour for me to be his roommate, cause he understands life and love truly is. Today is a short day for me, a day so short that I'm able to devote all my time into my computer science 200 project. I worked extremely hard on it for a good 4 hours and got everything figured out so that I can have a clear shot at my English project this weekend. Well, it's just me, always wants to stay in perfect control on everything, and finish your job fast.
      Today is actually the ZhongQiu festival of China, a unique day in which families are supposed to unite and stay together, which marks another major milestone that I've achieve through the journey of my life. This is the first September 20th which I've spent it Canada all by myself, and I've just had a philosophical argument with Fressia. Well, life sure has its ups and downs, and the up part I believe is just Austin.
      Austin the mono-knowledge, true wisdom.
      See, true love doesn't have to be between a boy and a girl. It also appears cross-speciesly LoL.I

        Finally, the second weekend is here!!! And what does that mean?What are you talking about? What else can I desire for a perfect weekend other than sleeping all the way till 12 pm? Nothing! Exactly! Nothing! For a man who is already dead exhausted, there is nothing more rewarding other than a great sleep….. Other than a total night of dungeons and dragons!!!!
        So today I went to the club exhibition and signed up on many things. Among many of them, the animation group is one of the first few things that I pick up. Seriously, they are coming up with all kinds of crazy ideas making fun out of the Japanese anime. I've always been a huge Japanese fan, it's just that I don't usually have time for anything like that. Also, exactly like what Jerry has suggested, I'm enrolled in a Japanese club now and I'm just so happy that I can finally learn some real Japanese language so that he would finally have no reason to shut me up when I'm exhibiting my awesome blade moves. Now as I'm PROFESSIONALLY trained, I can speak real Japanese now!
        Although those clubs are all great, but the BEST thing has ever happened to me today is of course my enrolment in the DND club!!!!!!! I was like, DAMN! I'm being DMing for the past 2 years and today I finally get to be DMed and can actually get the chance to actually play the god damn game! That was super! Also, I've came up with a BRILLIANT idea for a video game that I can work together with Keegan and Austin that's based on DnD. Finally, that's my epic destiny.
        And it's also good to know that the AVGN adventure is finally out and in available 3 days earlier on steam today 12 am. I was shocked by that game by its insane awesomeness, and I can't just wait to play that game!
        And of course, I don't even have a penny to pay that game just like always.

          Well, what can I say? Somebody pulled the fire alarm AGAIN today around 12:20 pm, and it was rainy, so we are forced to enjoy the chilliness of the winter rain. Just in case you've forgot, it is 10 celsius degree here in Canada! The firetrucks came and went, nobody got caught, and almost half of us caught a cold….
          Why would anyone ever think that this is funny?! What the hell are they thinking? Literally, firetruck them! And firetruck them HARD. Don't you just hate those who pulls the stupid fire alarm just for fun when you are having your only free sleep for the week? I found them Shoryuken deserving. Yeah, they should be punished! I curse them to be single all their life, just like me…. Well…. Yeah…. Let's move on.
          I've spent almost the entire day till now working on my English assignment and it sure was one hell lot of work! I've read over 80 pages of books, taken over 3000 words of notes, and written and refined 1500 words of summary. Trust me, everything is extra hard when you are doing it as a Chinese. Even as the grand champion of English, I found it exhausting and irritating. It's just too much work, and I'm done with my Saturday and all of my other assignments are still all blank!!!
          And guess what, just like last Saturday, I've left my washings inside the dryer. Just GREAT.

            Ah well what can I say? I've been study for one day straight and I haven't even get to my computer science project yet… Seriously, now I've finally know what's so serious about University of Waterloo—It means serous business. Like OMG! The math problems are just getting harder! I've almost spent 4 hours on my math projects and there are two questions that I just can't figure stuff out. You see, that's when you finally realize that no matter how strong one single individual is, he can never overcome all the challenges. Now only if there is a study group, which there is one tomorrow, so I'm going there for sure. My schedule is 100% packed up for next week, so yeah, can't wait to torture myself.
            Now here is something that I've found out interesting today outside my intense studying— It's just so nice to reward yourself sometime. When I was working on the last question, I promised to myself that if I can figure out the bonus question, I'm having two fruit salad burgers tonight— Which I DID! I just feel so good to be able to have something to looking for ward to every single week. Cuz guess what? Harvey is a beautiful thing indeed!

              Now I'm really starting to get used to work till mid-night. For why? What else can I be expecting? This is the university of WATERLOO! THE REAL MAN'S PLACE!!!! Talked to Steph today about how hard the work here is. I've just worked for 6 hours in a roll and finally got my computer science programming assignment all figured out. Damn! All the 13X classes are all moving way faster than what I've been expecting. Every single assignment takes about at least 5 hours to complete the first draft, and there is no passing guaranteed. I'm pretty overwhelmed right now, I'm tired, I need rest and time to play, except I don't have them.
              Alright, I believe that tomorrow won't be as bad!!!
              Hopefully…..

                Today is a sunny day, a good day, a happy day for me as what it is. I've got my first assignment for computer science back and I got a 90% in it! I was so happy about my significant achievement that I was that close to throw myself off a cliff. However, as the master troll as what god has always been, most of my classmates got 95% or 100% like always. Yeah, why not? Living in a land filled by geniuses and that is strictly why my life is destined to be a…. well, not so smooth life.
                What else you are assuming me to put there? Come on bro! Don't forget that I am the man who got 30 out of 30 in my first mathematics assignment at the same time!
                See, this is life, you can be a genius and a loser at the same time. Curse and blesses intersects, and god just absolutely LOVES to poke you in the ASS.

                  Today is my big day. So the student success office had arranged a career affair today at the rim part and I went that affair. What I didn't know is that I was about to behold my first experience of finding my own career. I talked with a ton of different people from all kinds of companies, Google, Rogers', and even Microsoft as well. According to my observation, life is hard but sweet for our computer science people. Literally! Everyone is looking for programmers! Yeah, guess the councillors are right about the versatility of computer science. We can do anything, and we will. So everything is good for me.
                  Just now I was so pissed off and confused. I just got the score back for my first assignment. I got 100% in Math 135 which is perfect literally, however I did got something that's just outrages. I got 0% in Math 138! How the fuck did that happen?!!! I was like WTF?! I've had totally spent like 6 hours last week doing it, got everything figured out and was pretty sure that I can got a 80% or above. So I was pissed and insecure like hell and I emailed Don(my professor) almost immediately. He respond me that this is a system failure and i'm not the first people asking this question. Actually he hasn't even got the papers back yet, so there is hardly any chance for anybody to even know his score. But just in case, I would go and check it again anyway.
                  Life is hard, and I'm ready to kill myself.

                    For the first time in my entire life, I'm feeling this weird sense of sympathy towards someone. I feel bad for him, I want to save him, such a close friend to me, and such a poor comrade. He, nothing but a lost teenager, hotheaded and immature, needs help, needs guidance, needs salvation. He is like me, but not the same as me. Both as international students struggling in a different country with nobody but ourselves to cling on to, I feel save and at home around him. The amount of help that I offered him is abundant, and my desire to help is rich. However, all is lost now. For him, nowhere close to the full comprehension of the situation that we are stuck in, has no idea of how dire the dread was, is, and will be. His action is uncuttable now, nothing can be done but regret and dropping tears. Though this is nowhere close to my reservation, yet I've bothered him with my hand of wisdom. But it was too late, all is lost, his future is missed.
                    Though I shall stand, live, and forever be fern in this state! The wisdom that I've been taught, the streetwise I've been tortured with, and the will that I'm tempering with. All be summoned! Come to me! Stick around for a little while! I shall not fall! As the lord of justice! The arrogance of none! The master of mental distortion! And the crest of all curses—Because I will not.

                      I had my first volunteer run today at the mathsoc. Seriously, whoever that had come up with this idea of having a pure volunteer-run society is a freaking genius! I like it… No, cuz I LOVE it! For having such a brilliant chance to be allowed to work behind a REAL counter, getting to serve real students, while earning volunteer hours all at the same time is totally ingenious. I don't know about everyone else, for they all papers to be really bored, but I myself take it personally. I tried my absolutely best to be active and passive, be shining to everyone and be talkative. I really enjoyed my first day at "work" and I'm really proud of myself. See, I'm not exactly useless.
                      Well, why do I love to call myself useless? Well, because it is title that is the fact which is the wisdom that is the truth.
                      I draw energy from humiliation, from negative energy, from curses of all kinds.
                      And I curse myself, like a god.

                        You know what? I am definitely one of the most ironic being on earth. You think being a easterner who loves English is strange enough? Oh god! Then how about being a Chinese who loves Japanese Bushido? That's it! I've formally declared my religion now. As a tribute to my twisted sense of honour and justice, as well as the fearsome reality distortion field that I possesses, along with that bandana which boosts my fortitude and spirit. Honestly, Bushido is awesome! For the amount of glory that it possesses. Bushido symbolizes a strong sense of justice, it invokes a twisted desire of honour, and the heart seeking hope and will. Only a true paragon who can master both of his will and strength can be respected and achieve his spiritual apotheosis. Thus be worthy of his title of a true hero.
                        Wearing my bandana isn't an act of betraying my country, but a token, an action which would remind me of my sinful pass, of the injustice that I used to commit, of the darkness that I used to stuck in, and of the hero who has just emerged from his formal self.
                        I'm Yandayixia, the Tier 5 anti-demigod, aka, a betrayer of my own kind…
                        …Or rather, someone who seeks justice far beyond the limitation of the binding casted on him by his own fate.
