June 2010
I’m looking at the dorms at Tsinghua University just to compare them with what I’m arranged with at Indiana University. Since I’m staying in a single, I looked at the single for Tsinghua:

Included in this is a color tv, a telephone, and air conditioning. Look at how tall that ceiling is too. Oh and did I mention, IT HAS IT’S OWN PRIVATE BATHROOM.
Oh, well it’s Tsinghua, and if the dorms are this nice, it’s gotta cost more than living in IU, right? Well the price of living in a single at Tsinghua is about 80 RMB per day. Now if I’m in school for about 265 days, that’s about 21,200 RMB. Convert that to USD and it’s about $3119. A single at IU is costing me $5771.
Fuck.
Did you know they’re doing spam over formspring now?! AWESOME.
Day 08 – A song that you know all the words to
The Magnetic Fields - All My Little Words
“Now that you’ve made me want to die, you tell me that you’re un-boyfriendable.”
Day 07 – A song that reminds you of a certain event
Elliott Smith - Between the Bars
I don’t know if it counts as an event, but this song got me through a really dark period of my life. I used to sing myself to sleep with this song.
Day 06 – A song that reminds of you of somewhere
Regina Spektor - Us
For some reason, whenever I hear this song, I feel like I’m in Central Park.
