Just a quick word, as i still have heaps to read for classes...
I have been here for more than a week and so far I am enjoying it. I am getting used to my new environment and lifestyle here. I was a bit worried that auckland would be quite boring for a girl like me but I was proven WRONG, since schoolworks seem to be quite demanding...
I am taking 2 english classes, german, ancient greek history and general math for this semester.Hopefully I will be eligible for international business next semester. English classes are quite interesting and we will study 6 plays and watch 8 movies (JESUS)in drama class. I had my global literature class just now and it was just an introduction about this course. Global lit sounds quite general in a sense, but when i read through all pages of the course outline, i found that the topics we are doing are actually quite meaningful and inspiring. They are about post-colonialism, hybridity and stuffs...... It makes me think of HK, because I do think HK is quite a mixture of the east and west.....And as a hongkonger, sometimes i do think my identity is rather abstract because when i am asked where I am from, i would immediately say HK, instead of China... But usually after some moments, I would wonder why I didn't simply say China. Erm... a result of british colonialism i guess??
gosh... i really should go back to my reading....hope to update soon!
