No.23 made his own homepage, turning it from colorful show-off in the past into a frivolous confession in black and white, becoming a true face and a test for himself. I feel mature for the first time.
? Jony J finally sprouted in the passage of time. Starting today, it will work hard with me to survive and gain a foothold in New Zealand. ?
This is the first home page I wrote for the diary page after I arrived in Auckland. I still remember when I first arrived in Auckland, I didn't even know what kiwifruit was. Looking at the homestay foreigners washing dishes with detergent without water was dumbfounded. In a blink of an eye, I have been studying and living in this land for 4 months.
Is the life of studying abroad wonderful? I'm afraid there is more pressure and responsibility behind this-from studying, living and being a China person. Say? Going out? It seems a little sad, but it is an inviolable fact to bid farewell to one's hometown relatives and live in a foreign land. Some young girls often cry and say that they miss their mother. Some older friends work as cleaners from 5 pm to 9 pm every day just to earn the living expenses of 6 yuan every hour. The Mid-Autumn Festival came. I went to a restaurant to order some Chinese food and spent a rare evening with a group of friends. Mooncakes are too expensive, so I have to make my own cakes. But what about the next day? Still have to continue to operate for their own destiny and parents' expectations. After a holiday, I still go to the library for self-study or go to the orchard to pick fruit for others to work; When school starts, it is the cycle of attending classes every day. so this is it？ Studying abroad? ?
It is really not easy for a group of young ladies, including me, who hardly have to do anything at home, to take care of themselves completely. Although the university has been accustomed to independence for four years, even some elderly people have had heroic work experience of backpacking around the south of the Yangtze River. But no matter who you are, you will face a completely different journey here.
Get off the plane, contact the school, confirm the course, or send out more than a dozen application forms to apply for new schools and courses or even scholarships. Then, take a student ID card and open an account in the bank with the best financial management method, in order to charge a few more dollars in interest every month. If you want to pay less tax, fill out a form and put it in the mailbox to apply for a tax number. I wanted to buy a plane ticket at a discount, so I took a photo and got an international student card. B&B is too expensive, so he rents his own room. The next step is to sign a contract and buy furniture, stoves and bedding. I stayed, had a good sleep, and then applied for a phone, TV and even a trash can.
Buying food, cooking and washing clothes, things that have never been done at home, have become a daily piece of cake. The headache now is that the electricity bill remains high this month. At the beginning of school, I asked senior students to buy second-hand old textbooks, upgrade them, and then put up an advertisement to sell them. Endless homework and exams are always a big and annoying problem, but we still have to consider the next visa in peacetime. Look through the newspaper to see if there is any work to wash dishes and sweep the floor. When you find a job, you should guard against immigration like a devil entering the village. I heard from my friend Alex that he bought a pair of shoes at the flea market last week 10 yuan, and he is going to try his luck this week. Living far away, bidding for a cheap second-hand car in an auction house means a lot of trouble behind your ass: driver's license, road tax, parking fee and annual inspection, all of which have to be completed in completely different countries and systems.
In the face of a group of blond people, what comes to mind most is: I'm from China. ? When I first came, I lived at Kiwi's house. My room has always been a mess. The first time I kept it clean and tidy was because I came from China. In China, I often run red lights and jaywalk, which I learned here, because I come from China. In the supermarket, if goods fall off the shelves, they will go back to their original places, because I come from China. In class, because there is no so-called map of China in Taiwan Province Province, I stood up and went to the podium to finish it with a pen, or because I am from China; I remember before going out, my mother told me over and over again that when I went abroad, I would not only represent myself, but also shoulder a part of the image of China people, even if it was only a small part. After all, the image of China people is self-created. The landlord who lives upstairs and has settled in Oakland for several years said: Even if we are used to complaining about all kinds of things in China, we will defend our country and nation here. Because, after all, we are all from China. Yeah, right? China? These three words are even more precious after leaving China. Because we come from China, everything related to our homeland here will move us for a long time. Remember the first time you saw it on TV? Happy story? I was so excited that I almost didn't scream. Here, all the local accents have become so precious. Fortunately, this year's Sydney Olympic Games has given us many opportunities to listen to the national anthem of the people of China, and the achievements of the China team have become a subject that everyone in China can be proud of after dinner. On National Day, people once again published various advertisements in Chinese newspapers to express their blessings to their homeland. It seems that people in a foreign country can feel the breath and strength of the nation more.
Four months ago, I first set foot on this country that fell in the southern hemisphere; Today, four months later, I still continue my story at the coordinates of east longitude 174.7 degrees and south latitude 36.8 degrees. Feeling? Too much, but everything is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go.
