Driving I

I practiced parking with b.chiang yesterday. And boy, was I nervous. After my car accident during the summer, I've had this lingering fear of sitting behind the steering wheel.

Fortunately, I hit no one and nothing while parking in the Lambeth parking lot. Thanks Brian for trusting me with your car.

烦

目前心里很烦，但我知道只有把一切交托给主才能得到真正的平安。

这个周末我发现其实我真的没有耐心。有好多次我差点儿就按捺不住自己的情绪。若不是因为主，我可能就会爆发。不过，在我烦的时候，因为有朋友的支持我才没有把我心里的不满吐露出来. 谢了克里斯丁孟 :) 毕竟我也不是完人，在神面前我是不折不扣的罪人。神既然能原谅我，那我为什么不能以同样的方式对待别人呢？我也应对别人有同样的忍耐，同样的爱。我有什么好骄傲的呢？

不过，在我心里的烦躁还没有完全除去掉之前，我还是一个人待着比较好。我需要好好地跟主交流。

I got my permit today. I can drive.

UNC-Duke Dialectic

The word  "dialectic" was finally cleared up for me by Ning today on skype :)

My stay so far in Raleigh has been amazing so far. Christine's entire family has been really sweet :)

Along with Brian, Christine and her friends Josh and AJ, I got to see both UNC and Duke.

UNC is simply gorgeous. The campus felt peaceful and pleasant and is well-light and presented a positive and comfortable vibe. What I loved most about UNC was their street signs. They are HUGE!!! Being a person that hates walking around in glasses, I totally benefited.

After an amazing tour at UNC we headed off to Duke. After getting lost and experiencing AJ's crazy driving, we ended safely in one-piece at Duke. Unfortunately, it took the five of us eternity to figure out how to pay for parking.

Duke is breathtaking in terms of architecture. You could tell that it was a rich, cultured university. They had a huge forest and a garden that probably would be stunning if it's spring season. Duke feels like a theme park. Being secluded from the city of Durham (I don't know if that is a goo), it didn't have something like The Corner or Franklin Street. All the shops and restaurants were on grounds (campus?). They have ice-cream and water stands, something you'd find in Disney World or Six Flags.

Both of the schools are stunning, but by the end of the day I realized that my heart is truly with UVa. Despite the ugly chem building and the morbid physics building, UVa is awesome. Perhaps it's because I'm familiar with grounds, but I think it's more because I met some of the best people in my life (aka CCF).

The Tar Heels and  Blue Devils can fight all they want, it has nothing to do with me, I'm a Wahoo.
