As I said, here are some touching stories about my family. Part 1

So... How to start this...  Here is little bit introduction of my real family. I think my family is a traditional common Chinese family. The first job my dad did was teacher, that is also the reason why he is so good at Speech (lecturing me). His second job was engineer, he made plenty of money at that time. As he becoming older, he shifted into a white collar in one of the building he built. I guess engineering must be a tired job. Now, he is a manager of a small bank with stable salary. My mom was a art teacher, she taught at the same school as my dad, that was the place where my mom and my dad met. She is really good at drawing and painting. She painted a lot of pictures in our condo, and by designing other people's house, she earned some extra money. So, we are not poor and also not rich, a common simple Chinese couple. As everyone knows, Chinese people love to save money for their kids (Jew people save money for business, lol). They told me not to waste any food because there are so many poor people on the earth in hunger. Every morning, they used face washing water to flush toilet. They told me to save money too. As they wished, I was a really good, simple, common kids with decent GPA.
     But, everything changed in middle school, everything,...... As the growing of my mind, those ugly sides of big city came in my head. I started to worry about my hair, straight them even dye them. My current pocket money was not enough for me any more. I started to cheat on my parents for more money. They gave me about 50 yuan every week. That was a quite big number for a middle school kids. My grade dropped badly. Teacher called my dad almost every week. My dad was lecturing me all the time but I wasn't listening to him at all. The Taboo of Chinese people is cheating. My dad finally found out I cheated on them. He beat me up. I cried so hard that I would change. But couple days later, I would forget everything my dad told me. Later on, I joined in a bad community... Sometimes I went back home with blood on my shirt, my dad sighed. I can see that slight tears in my mother's eyes.

Things I did during Halloween. Part 2

       The third day of Halloween break, which was a Saturday. I went to pick up my old high school friend. He is a senior now. We went to Jordon creek mall to get some T shirts and pants. I got two funny T shirts. One says " Justin Beaver" with a beaver beside it. Another one says "Zombie just wanna hug." Then we went back home and watched Iowa game. That was a huge win, 40ish to 0. That night, my friend and I went to Culver's for dinner. That is my favourite fast food restaurant. I almost did nothing on the last day. I was messing around with my friend and my family. We had a barbecue lunch that day. About 4 o'clock, I started to drive back.
       What a normal Halloween, nothing special, nothing crazy. Took a small break for couple days, kept away from cells, membrane and ideal gas law. I think that was the main purpose of Halloween. It also reminds me the festival break in china. Teachers would give us tons of homework and tons of article to read. But "Whenever there is a rule, there is a way to get around it", I would let my friends do different parts and then copy each other. Don't tell me that is plagiarizing. If you were at the same situation like that, you would've done that too. lol.

Things I did during Halloween! Part 1 (I know you are tired to read all the doctor article I wrote) lol

I drove back to urbandale on that wednesday right after IS101. I didn't go to bad the day before that because wednesday is Bio exam. You can't image how many espresso shots I drunk that day. By the way I get used to grab a 4 cans espresso shots pack every times I go to walmart. That day was really horrible. I got on my car, spent about 5 minutes starting it (the starter is not working very good). On the way out of college, maybe jesus didn't like me that day ....my tire poped... I called my friend to come over to check it. He told me to slowly drive to gas station and fill my tire all the way up, then fast drive to walmart. I trusted him and that actually worked. 100 dollars just escaped from my credit card for replacing that tire. 2 and half hour later, I finally got home.I had a really good lazania family dinner and a nice dinner talk. They were all very happy when I showed my 100% on my chemistry exam. That day, I went to sleep at 8:30, just like elementry school kid. But the next time I opened my eyes was 4:30 PM, not am. My host mom laughed so hard about that. That night, we went to texas road house for my pre-birthday dinner, my birthday is Novermber 9th. Texas Road House is my favourite restuarant in America. I ordered a 16 oz ribeye steak and cheese fries for apptizer. Oh Yummm. That was a great night.

Sorry I wrote this like a Day-to-day account record. For a full score of this blog, I definally need deep thought. Family is also a very important part in my life, my real family, my host family. In the past 2 years, I spent a lot of time with my host american family, they are really nice to me even their kids are really annoy. I like them a lot. Host family is host family, of course I can't forget my real family, they are living at another level of my heart. I will write another blog about my parents, if angel really exist in this world, that's my mom.

Natually woke up at 5 in the morning.

Natually woke up at 5... How weird this is. I random browsed internet for a while. I just read a article about a chinese international student successfully got into medical school, written by his father. His kid got into Harvard medical school. This article explained a lot about how hard to be a doctor in america. His kid has a 3.8 GPA and a very high MCAT score. He volunteered in that college associated hospital for 4 years. He also got a embulance licence and some sort of emergency medical assistant licence. This article also talked a lot about the interview of medical school.  I actually have already added this article to my internet favourite long time ago. But once a while, I would read it again. My favourite part of that article is a reference his father made at the end of that article. He borrowed a dialogue from a movie, I forgot what that movie is. The orginal dialogue is: " If you love someone, you can tell him to go to New York. If you hate someone, you can also tell him to go to New York." He changed to: " If you love someone, you can tell him to study medicine, if you hate some one, you can also tell him to study medicine." I actually giggled when I read this. Doctor is a job with angel wing and dog collar, this is what I think of doctor. Saving people just like a angel, and also suffering just like a dog with collar. lol.

Let me talk about Borat (movie)

The running of the Jew. This is still making me giggle. . It's the most devilish movie I have ever seen before. Borat, he is a successful man in a Kazakhstan. In his culture, people hate jew and they make funny joke(inappropriate joke) to each other. They like to abuse animal and they think that's fun. They can have sex with their sister even their mother. Male can have sex with female by force and it is legal. People don't like to hang out with retard people. The whole name of this movie is "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan ." So when Borat came to America, everything changed. In america, hating jewish people are considered as discrimination. Animal abusement is illegal. Having sex with others by force is called "raping", which is also illegal. You can't even say "retard" this word in america.

The most amazing fact of this movie is, the actor of Borat, is a very faithful Jew. I think this movie is trying to tell people that, Right or Wrong is not always stable. Something you can't even imaging, it's maybe make sense in other country. Sometimes american government interferes other country. This is just so WRONG.

I have not blog anything in last three weeks.

The last three was pretty bad. Every brain cells that still active are because the massive amount of caffine in my body. The day before fallbreak was bio exam, I started to review that before weekend. I reviewed all day long without doing anything else even eating. Monday night, I received a email that told me I have no class on tuesday, that night, I didn't go to bad at all, I still remembered when the sky became purple ( nice color) , I was solving a membrane problem. lol. The next night, I didn't go to bad at all, I was sitting on my chair for 24 hours with tons of expresso cans around me. That is my college life, grayish color. Well, I'm a man, this is the life style I have been choosing for 4 years, I won't give up.

Just sent a email to Iowa medical school admission office.

This is the original email I sent:  "Hello, my name is Max Wei. Right now I'm a first year student at wartburg college. I got accptance of iowa last year but I still decided to go to Wartburg college, because they are smaller and offers very good pre-med program. I have been working really hard of all my courses, I spent triple times longer than normal pre-med students here on study. I came to United States about 2 years ago, I dont have a green card. My dream of my life is to be a dortor in this country, this dream has been staying with me for over 5 years and I'm not going to change it. I know UI have a very good medical school and my goal is to get in it. My dad has enough bank saving to offer me 4 years medical school tution and he can move those money out anytime. I know the truth is might be cruel but I still want to know, is there any chance to get in your medical school? any special cases? Even I have 3.7+ gpa and decent MCAT score?  I just want to know how realistic my dream is, even it is very cruel. Thanks. "

And this is the reply I received: "

Dear Max,

I am sorry to tell you that Carver does not accept international students.  A green card or asylum status are required.  There are medical schools in the US that accept international students or students in the process of getting permanent residency.  Best wishes in your search for a match.

Judi"

 So, my Iowa dream is over, this was quick. I even don't have any chance to struggle. Just one single email smashed my dream. Well, except Iowa, there are still so many medical school left in the US.

Right now, every day every moment I'm worrying about my grade, I even had a dream about I got a 70% on exam couple days ago. I feel like the whole word is against me, people say, the harder you work, the better result you would get. But now, I work triple harder than my friends, but my grade is still bad. Sorry about I put so much grumble on this blog.
