I don't want to be alone

Not much going on, except considering buying an iPad 2. It's actually pretty fun to use but I doubt that I would be using it for any school work immediately. Building a ppt and excel modeling would probably be much easier on the laptop.

Spent the weekend in Singapore, not a very interesting place to be in if you don't have money and are on a student budget. Comparatively to Beijing, it's also less fun though there's a casino around that you can hit when you're bored.

Actually, there wasn't anything to post about. I don't do much nowadays nor have I had any new thoughts.

Except, that when you're dealing with housing for the second year - if you can carry over your contract from the first year, it might be worthwhile to keep the house you're renting for convenience. It's much harder to get a new place that suits your requirements. It is also unavoidable to miss the increase in house rental, I've heard that it's going up 20% for the Wudaokou area :( But if you find something good, just keep it for the second year.

It seems to be the trend to move down to the Chaoyang/Sanlitun/Guomao area if possible (as long as you have money). But I think it's a bit inconvenient in terms of attending classes and group discussions, though I really don't know how much of that will happen during the second year. But a fair number of second year students from the previous class continued to stay in the Wudaokou area.
