Normal life started


I have been in USA for a month. I have to say in the last month, my life is not normal. It is different and excited.

Many of people say that there is a culture shock when you enter the different country. I have felt it, though not very intensive. I have to cook myself and lease a apartment once I entered USA. This is totally different life style. I need some time to suit it. Every day I get up in 9:00 am. After breakfast, I go to lab by AATA bus. Around 6:00 pm, I go back home by bus or feet. Every week, I will come to supermarket buy food and other things. Buying food once a week (or two), this is standard American life.

In the apartment, there is no desk and chair and bed. I have to buy it myself. In fact, I only get dinning desk and sofa up to now. So the life in the home is a little tough. For many days, I sleep on the mattress, open my eyes and think something or nothing. Time is killed like this.

Yesterday, internet was OK in my apartment. I feel my normal life comes back. Now the only thing I need to do is buying laptop.

慢慢安定下来


来美国两周多了,房子已经找好了,各种手续也办完了,生活总算是步入正规,慢慢安定下来了。

从未面对过诸如租房,买菜,做饭等生活问题,在这短短两个星期,我必须搞定这些事情。幸好同来的还一位同学,我们合租房子,一起面对这些问题。虽然只有两周,我已经体验了许多美国的方便与不便。语言问题,没有车出行很不方便,支票的使用极为方便,等等。同组的师兄师姐们都很热心,帮助我们尽快适应这里的生活,买菜时也捎上我们一起去。

生活安定下来了,就应该开始工作了。具体方向还没有定,导师建议我做做量子点。这个题目对我来说很有挑战性,先开始读文献吧。
