第二個星期終於結束了！工作量比第一個星期大一些，但因為學生適應了項目的節奏，所以第二個興起和第一個還是差不了多少。今天終於“打開了”我的iPhone，就可以用它打電話什麼的。我本打算不買手機或者SIM卡，轉念一想就發現跟同學保持聯系還是挺重要的。這兩天一直在下雨。雖然這種天氣不適合在外面運動，可是溫度變得很涼快，舒服多了。今天我也洗了衣服。宿舍有一些洗衣機，但只有一台乾衣機。不知道為什麼，但中國人比較喜歡掛衣服，而不用乾衣機。按照入鄉隨俗這個概念，我也掛，要不然我會冒被視為外國人的風險。
昨天晚上喝了點啤酒。宿舍裡有一個小商店，非常方便！礦泉水，洋酒，小吃都買得到。還有，你可以隨便在任何地方喝酒。在大學我習慣了把宿舍房間的門鎖上才開始偷偷地喝酒。怎麼也想不到在這對大學生那麼重要的一個方面，中國的思想比美國的開放多了。
The second week is finally over! The workload this week was greater than the first week, but because we students adapt to the pace of the program, the first week we summoned up our courage and the second week we rose to the challenge. Today I finally "opened" my iPhone and can use it to make phone calls. Originally I had not intended to buy a cell phone or SIM card. But on second thought, I think it is important to keep in touch with my classmates. The past two days have been rainy. Although it is not suitable to exercise outdoors in this weather, the temperature is much cooler and more comfortable. I also washed my laundry today. There are some washing machines in the dormitory, but only one dryer. For some reason, Chinese people prefer to line dry their laundry instead of using a dryer. Following the local custom, I line dry my laundry as well in order to avoid being seen as a foreigner.
Last night I drank some beer. There is a small store in the dormitory, which is very convenient. You can buy mineral water, alcoholic beverages, and snacks. And you can openly drink alcohol anywhere. In college, I used to lock my dormitory door before secretly drinking any alcohol. I never would have imagined that in this important aspect of college life that the Chinese are more liberal than Americans.
