Hello.oo.ooo~

Hi everyone, I’m Vivien. Since there are so many ViviAns out there, I prefer ViviEn as mine
Peppy suggested “attaching” a picture to our names, well, I think I’m quite easily recognized as a Chinese. I was born in Beijing, uhh..even typing its name makes me miss the REAL Beijingese food so much (those on the High St. are quite Americanized). After having been stuck in the same greenhouse for 18 years, I decided to go to Macao for college, an isolated, exotic, little cute island in Southern China, known as the Asian Las Vegas. Maybe it’s the beginning of change that boosted my eager sense of adventure, so in the last autumn, I transferred again, to OSU.

Although major in accounting, I don’t want to keep my face businesslike. What I really have a passion for are, movies, photographing, astronomy, drawing etc. To some degrees, I may just take accounting as an efficient way to sustain my hobbies and a neutral option to take when it’s too hard for me to decide the career direction. Taking hobbies just as hobbies, keeping them isolated from $$, can make them life-long, right?!

Movies, travels, and extreme sports are the top3 in my spare time list. In my first freezing winter break here, I escaped to west coast soaking up as much as Vitamin D as I can. The mile long crescent of Monterey Bay, the eye-catching scene of sunset above the Pacific Ocean, the distinctive rainbow symbol of Castro in LA… impressed me so much. Best among them all, it’s the halo of the sunny sky. Even in winter, the climate in California is like melting honey. I couldn’t imagine how overwhelming its summer would be.

So when back in Columbus, it really took me some time to be adaptive to the vampire-friendly weather again. I’m so obsessed with Twilight books these days. Just like that in Forks, sun seems like a luxury here for quite a while. Anyway, as least I could expect Alice coming into real life! (She’s my favorite among the Cullens:)

Well, since there are still tons of assignments on the way, I guess I should stop here and save some inspiration. Frankly, since I’m the only international student in this class (am I?), my nerves are always on edge being with those amazing fluently native speakers as you are. I’ll do my best to keep on track:)

Nice to meet you all, wish we could have some warmth together to survive this freezing quarter :)
