Asian Slave for next summer

I have just got hired by Seaworld for 3 months. Will be working in Orlando, Florida, in the promised land, land of free speech, land of crazy girls flashing their boobs at rock gigs, land of intense racism, land where perception of all asians is that they are frm china and have one syllabus names like Yang, Lee.
Yup I am off to the USA for the work and travel program. But somehow things arent looking as good as it seems at the moment, I chose Seaworld compared to the other states becoz of my frends comments as they have been there before. But after calculating, Seaworld having the most expensive accomadations charges, I would really have to save and watch my savings, jus like a philippino maid here, maybe all the singapores will have picnis in Seaworld and dirty their land.
Here are the statistics, hourly pay is 7 bucks an hour, anything above 40 hours a week is overtime, 10.5 an hour. So after careful calculating, if i work 60 hours a day, i would have onli 3 k to spend and travel. And should i finish spending this 3 k, i would deficit my entire package course money and the air ticket, which amounds to about 2.8 k. How naive of me to think i can work to break even...
Anyway i think i will jus go ahead with it. To see how promising it can be..

Lost... detached..

I have be in hell to be in ISE, who knows this stupid course is so tough and busy that it allows absolutely no life. Only the 1st sem being in ISE, i have 7 mid terms to handle. c++ lab which takes up about 10 to 14 hours of my time each week, 8 sets of tutorials each week to be completed. Lesosns are long each day, all tutorials are everyweek, pple inside are weird and enjoying being no life.
Life jus seems to revolve trying to complete sch work, no mood to socialise after sch, no mood to reply msgs, no mood to chat on msn. It seems as if i have detached myself frm this world. As times passes by u feel as if u hvae been forgotten. Or maybe its jus me.. unable to socialise well enough.
U see pple in arts fac running ard each day, playing soccer going ard to spend 3 hours of the night at supper, i jus cant afford the time. Life sucks, looks like going to sucks for the next 3 years as well.. as so my seniors in ISE tells me, it gets worse apparently..
think i need a gf.. haha
