那麼，我得寫這周記．．．從我的宿舍到ＤＥＬＭＯＮＴＥ中心的指路． 我已經寫了，不過我想再寫一遍．

羅考恩: 郭凱豐,你好.
郭凱豐: 我的香港朋友! 你好!
羅考恩: 麻煩你,從這兒到ＤＥＬＭＯＮＴＥ中心,怎麼走?
郭凱豐: 不太難. 從這條馬路，沿著馬路開到底就向右開． 你向右再拐一遍後，往大門外面開，一直向路下開（這條馬路叫Ｆｒａｎｋｌｉｎ大街）．
羅考恩: 那我會向右拐兩遍,對嗎?
郭凱豐: 對. 然後, 你會經過幾家酒吧和商店． 開下到第三個紅綠燈，就向右拐．一直沿著馬路開到一張上寫著ＤＥＬＭＯＮＴＥ中心的牌子（在你的手左邊）． 那麼,馬上向左拐，就到了．
羅考恩: 我該經過兩個紅綠燈,是嗎?
郭凱豐: 是, 你就經過兩個. 很檢單,對吧?
羅考恩: 對了. 謝謝,郭凱豐!!
郭凱豐: 不用謝.
羅考恩: 再見!
郭凱豐: 再見!
(Original full directions)
從我宿舍樓前面的馬路，沿著馬路開到底就往右開． 你向右再拐一遍後，往大門外開，一直向路下開（這條馬路叫Ｆｒａｎｋｌｉｎ大街）．你會經過幾家酒吧，商店，什麼的． 開下到第三個紅綠燈，就向右拐． 一直沿著馬路開到一張上寫著ＤＥＬＭＯＮＴＥ中心的牌子（在你的手左邊）． 那麼馬上向左拐，就到了． 很檢單，對嗎？
-------------------------------------------------
**Edit: I'm converting to dialogue format instead, as I apparently have to use that or a passge type thing. The information will remain the same, though.
Baby's translation:
I have to write this journal... directions from my dorm to the Del Monte Center. I already wrote some, but I'd like to write them again.
From the street in front of my dorm building, follow it to the end and head right. After you make one more right turn, head out of the gate and continue towards the bottom of the hill (this road is called "Franklin Ave."). You'll pass several bars, stores, etc. Drive down until the third traffic light, then turn right. Continue following the road until you see a sign with "Del Monte Center" written on it (on your left-hand side). Immediately turn left and you're there. Pretty simple, right?
Man... the Chinese is just so much more concise. Fuck English.

我會用LJ幫我準備口語考試, 可能會是有用的.
我有兩部分：
第一部分是說我的宿舍有...
第二部分是說從國防語言學院到別地方怎麼走...
那麼，我要開始．
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
第一個：
我的宿舍樓有三層，各有５０個房間，左右． 外面都是白色的．前後院子都有一些樹，有的是有一點兒大的，有的是小的．都有翠綠葉． 不過，我不該告訴你那棵樹有什麼樣的葉， 對嗎？ 那回去我的宿舍． 我的房間就在第二曾． 上樓後， 向右拐． 一直往前走才來到２６４號的房間， 就是我的． 進門去的時候，你該在向窗戶看呢． 你的手右邊是一張上下床， 上的是我的． 對了，除了床子以外，房間的右邊都是我的． 不過， 各邊都是差不多一樣的． 床子的旁邊有一個咖啡色的衣櫃． 衣櫃的旁邊有一張咖啡色的書桌， 書桌上有幾本課書． 都是很有用的． 那就這樣．
第二個：
那麼，你一定知道我的宿舍樓是６２７號的， 是吧？ 從那棟樓，沿著前面的馬路到底， 就向右拐． 下條，再向右拐． 沿著Ｆｒａｎｋｌｉｎ大街， 一直往前走． 你該經過大概三個紅綠燈才往右走． 五分鍾後，你會看到ＤｅｌＭｏｎｔｅ中心的牌子． 向左拐，就到了．

還有，給我的香港朋友Ｐｈｙｌｌｉｓ很謝謝！！ 她幫我檢查我的語法．

我跟我的朋友去了旧金山的中國城買東西.我們開了三個鍾頭. 太久了.
到了以後我們看到有些商店和飯館兒.我們都喜歡.我們先進一家賣光盤的去,逛逛一下. 他們有很多音樂的, 有的好聽的, 有的不好聽的. 我們什麼都沒買.
然後我們走別的商店去看一看. 這家是買DVD的. 我們進後,一個朋友說了:跟我來!我樓下找到很多黃色的電影! 跟他下後, 我看到沒看過的... 怎麼有這麼多?! 那個朋友說了: 我一定買幾個, 一定買. 不過, 他還沒買. 他說了不真的. :)
其他的時間我們逛一逛,看一看. 買完了我們回我們的宿舍來看了電影看到睡覺.
很膏藥的天! 真的.

Well this'll be my last entry for... maybe a year or so? Whenever I build another computer at tech. school anyway. Thuy will keep the one here at the apartment, and I play to CREAAAAAATE one while off learning Chinese. I just don't know when.
To recap, I'll be going to the hotel on Monday, then catch the 6am bus to MEPS (Military Processing Station) on Tuesday to finalize my contract and do a last height/weight check, get bussed to the airport around 1pm, and fly out later on to Texas. Bootcamp will be about 6 weeks long at Lackland AFB in TX (I think near San Antonio), followed by about 2 years of technical schooling in Monterey, CA where I'll learn written and oral Chinese. Afterwards I'll head to whichever base I've been assigned to (hopefully the GA base) begin my work as a linguist.
I don't see bootcamp being a problem, other than the running. I mean, I'll be able to finish it, but in order to get honors (which I'm shooting for), you need some retarded fast times as part of the grade. Like 1.5 mile run in 8:58, 75 pushups in a minute, 80 situps in a minute, and 10 pullups (always curious why no one can fucking do pullups). So like I said, the running is really my only worry. I know I can easily work up to doing the pushups and such, it's just a lot harder to increase my endurance. However, I've never really ran distance consistently (only some short sprint type stuff in track), so I wonder if I am actually capable and just haven't had the proper environment to realize my potential.
At tech school I think I'll have fun. That's basically what I'm looking forward to and what will help propel me through bootcamp. Once there I'll need to have a few items shipped to me from Thuy so I have something to do in the offtime. My PS2, games, DVDs, etc. I'll buy a TV once there, and that really should be all I plan on buying, semi-major expense wise. I may also want my voice recorder to help practice pronunciation with my Chinese, but I don't know yet.
Anyway, take care and good luck everyone. I'll be back soon enough.
I love you, Thuy. :) I'll miss you, but know that I'm always here and always yours. MUAH!
