Tired!!!

I was calling the DTE Energy today to settle the electric supply in the new apartment. then guess what happened? They were asking for social security number, which I have not yet applied for one, they required driving licence which I have not yet sat for the test, and they required a state ID which I do not have!!! So, I had to travel to the DTE office- and there is only one DTE office in Michigan, which is 38 miles- 3 cities away from Ann Arbor... No choice, I had to travel all the way to the office and got all the paper work done.

They were checking my passport, my visa, my I20 form, my student ID, basically everything about me... That process took more than one hour- can you imagine that? The mad guy Cho Seung Hui got his gun within 15 minutes, and it took me dunno how long to get the electricty in the apartment!!! I am so sick of that...

On our way back, we just went to IKEA to settle all the furnitures... It was such a pain to get all the beds, desks and chairs... Moon and I are girls, and we had to carry four carts to the cashier!!

Now I am so so so exhausted, BUT I still have to head for the supermarket to get something to pack my stuff!! I hate moving!! I hate it!!! Argh!!!

How I wish I have a boyfriend who has a SSN, has a car to drive me around, can assemble the beds and desks for me!!! But since I got everything settled myself, probably I do not need one... >_<|||

People have asked me why my name is so damn bloody hard to pronounce, I would say it's not my problem. Just in case anyone who is interested to find out what the name actually means, here it is:

萱 pronounces as xuan, is the flower called daylily pictured above;

仲 pronounces as zhong, means I am the second child in the family

弦弦诉人意,弓弓道世情

可以高贵,可以平凡
可以不问英雄出处
可以痴情风流的二胡
一弦可以大江东去
一弦可以月游西湖
一曲未了竟有琴弦启开江南
让俏丽的姑娘
用浓浓的茉莉花语
从红袖里伸出酥手
把一个河山香透

My Erhu, My Forever Love
