The first two days

So I have spent my first two days at Stanford. Well, I have visited Stanford many times, but this time I am an enrolled Stanford student and also live on campus. So far everything goes well.

I arrived my dorm with all my luggage on Monday afternoon (thank my godparents). And then there was lots of unpacking to do. I was invited to have rice with curry at Fang's place. We are just neighbors (and we arranged so). Later my dad came too, and we had some pizza and salad at Pizza My Heart (this place is good, but it is too far from my house by legs).

On Tuesday I did not get up very early because I slept late and I was somewhat a little sick. There’s still some unpacking to do, and I also did my laundry. We have free washing machines and dryers for use, but they are a little bit far from our house (which is not that far when comparing to the whole campus). At noon I went to open new accounts at Tresidder (the student activity center where banks are located). I waited for quite a while 'cause there were just too many people who also came to open new accounts, and it takes longer to open an account than to just deposit. Wells Fargo has really nice customer service and seems much reliable while I can only get a credit card at Stanford FCU. I opened my accounts at both banks. In the afternoon, there is a workshop on maintaining my immigration status which I am required to attend. I met Wei-Chun (a b93 at NTU Physics) too, and chatted quite a lot with him. In the evening, my roommate DB and I went to Fang's place again to finish our curry for dinner. Oh I skipped my lunch today because I was in the bank, but luckily I got a cookie at the workshop.

Today I still got up late. Finally I made all my stuff in my room in place. So I took some pictures of my room (see here). I got a fried egg for breakfast, but it was not very successfully cooked. To go to our department, I walked for almost 40 minutes. I think I should get a bike soon. In the afternoon I went swimming. The pool is super nice and 10-foot (3-meter) deep!!! The weather was quite cool but water temperature was still okay though it is an outdoor pool. I will try to go swimming as frequent as possible! After swimming, I walked to Trader Joe’s, a good supermarket which is ONLY 30-minute walking from my house. I bought some vegetable and fruits and also hams and chicken legs (pretty cheap). This evening Fang made roast chicken legs and I did boiled broccoli and scrambled eggs with onion, so we had a very nice dinner!

So these are what I have done for these two days. Just to give you an idea. I won’t write something so detailed like this in the future. XD

For those who read Chinese faster, I google translated for you (with some slight modification).

所以，我花了我的頭兩天在斯坦福大學。嗯，我訪問了斯坦福很多次，但這次我是一名就讀斯坦福大學的學生，也住在校園裡。到目前為止一切順利。

我來到我的宿舍裡與我所有的行李於 16日下午（感謝我的乾爸媽）。此外，還有大量的拆行李要做。我被邀請到有咖哩飯在 Fang 的家。我們只是鄰居（我們安排等）。後來我爸爸也來了，我們有一些比薩餅和沙拉在比薩我的心（這個地方是好的，但靠腿它離我家太遠了）。

週二我沒有很早起床，因為我睡晚，我感到有點不舒服。另外還有一些拆行李的事情，而我也做了洗衣服。我們有免費的洗衣機和烘乾機的使用，但他們有一點點遠離我們的房子（這不是比較遠，對整個校園）。中午我去開新帳戶在特里西德（學生活動中心，銀行所在地）。我等了相當長的一段因為有太多的人誰也來開新帳戶，而且開一個帳戶需要比存款更長的時間。富國銀行有非常好的客戶服務和可靠得多，而我似乎只能得到一張信用卡在斯坦福信用聯合。我打開我的賬戶在兩個銀行。下午，有一個工作坊談保持我的移民身份，而我必須參加。我會見了維君（是b93台大物理），跟他聊了不少。到了晚上，我的室友DB和我去Fang的家再次完成我們的咖哩晚餐。哦，我錯過了今天的午餐，因為我是在銀行，但幸運的我得到了一個 Cookie在研討會。

今天，我還是起床晚了。最後，我把我所有的東西在我的房間到位。所以我拍了一些照片我的房間（看這裡）。我有一個荷包蛋早餐，但不是很成功。到我們的系館，我走了差不多40分鐘。我想我應該盡快得到一個自行車。在下午我去游泳。泳池是超級好，10英尺（3米）深的！天氣很涼，但水溫仍然不錯，但它是一個室外游泳池。我會盡量頻繁去游泳！游泳後，我走到交易喬的，這是一個很好的超市只有30分鐘步行到我家。我買了一些蔬菜和水果，也火腿和雞腿（相當便宜）。今天晚上Fang烤雞腿，我煮花椰菜和洋蔥炒雞蛋，所以我們有一個非常不錯的晚餐！

因此，這些都是我做的這兩天。只給你一個想法。我未來不會寫像這麼詳細的東西。XD
