University Entrance Exams

Be glad we only have the easy-peasy SATs and ACTs here in America and not the super-hard college entrance exams that kids in China and Japan have to take. Exam cram school, studying 14-16 hours a day for a whole year. Way too extreme.

I moved into my new living room on Saturday. Got nice furniture from Ikea. Scandinavian design FTW! I'm on Genesee Ave. by Regents Rd. in La Jolla. Pictures to come when I convince myself to not be lazy and to upload pictures.
