Weeks Five and Six

這兩個星期過得不錯。上個週二打了一次網球。我找到了一個三年級的網球夥伴，他特別厲害！他非常擅長打網球，打得比我好多了。還有，他認識我大學的朋友 Atsushi，真巧。昨天我跟一個同學出去逛逛街，買些東西。她和她的妹妹都是普北班的學生，而且也是混血兒（台灣/美國，跟美麗一樣）。其實，普北班的混血兒挺多的，好像他們都在探究自己文化身份的一個方面。

我們星期五考完試以後去扔飛盤。我扔的還可以，但很多同學仍得很棒。甚至有一個同學參加過真正的大學非盤比賽，她果然扔得最好。

告訴你們一個秘密，我最進對珍珠奶茶上癮了。簡直太好喝了。差不多每天都起碼喝一杯。更危險的是他們會外送到宿舍，所以我們埋頭讀書的時候，只要打個電話，奶茶就奇跡般的突然出現。不過，不僅是奶茶，西方快餐廳也會外送。麥當勞，賽百味，肯德基都會把他們的食品送到你家裡。雖然我不常吃快餐，但住在這個又發達又便捷的城市不言而喻很容易就變得疏懶成性！

These past two weeks have been pretty good. I played tennis last Tuesday. I found a PiB 3rd year student to play with. He is very good at tennis, much better than me. And he knows my college friend Atsushi. What a coincidence! Yesterday I went shopping with a classmate. She and her sister are both PiB students, and also biracial (Taiwanese/American) like Emily. [Emily's note: I am half Chinese/half American, not half Taiwanese.] As a matter of fact, there are quite a few biracial students in PiB, as if they are searching for part of their cultural identity.

After the exam on Friday, we played frisbee. I threw ok, but quite a few classmates were great. One particular classmate even participated in an official college frisbee competition. She threw the best.

Now I'll tell you a secret: I am addicted to pearl milk tea. [Emily's note: also called "bubble tea."] It is delicious. I pretty much drink at least one cup everyday. The fact that the bubble tea shop will deliver makes it even more dangerous. When we are buried in our studies, all we need to do is to call, and the milk tea will miraculously appear. Besides delivering pearl milk tea, they also deliver western fast food. McDonald's, Subway, and KFC can all be delivered to your door. Although I don’t eat fast food often, it is easy to become lazy living in this well developed and convenient city.
