Alright so I *thought* I had *everything* sorted out. But then I realized I really haven't gotten anything sorted out! OMG what do I bring, what should I not bring with me? I'm going by plane, meaning I can't bring any *big* stuff. I'm planning on getting a fridge and other *big* stuff once I get there. So what are some of the essentials, what are the things you THOUGHT u didn't but u actually did, and the stuff u thought u needed u didn't need?

How many pairs of panties are u looking to bring? Thongs --- G-strings boy shorts etc

whenever ive moved around, i always found i didnt bring the right kind of clothing. like i never enough of the right type of clothing. so bring a variety of clothes for different situations. and since ur going to a new climate, bring the appropriate clothes for it.

other than that, just bring the essential stuff you need for everyday life like hygienic stuff.

everything will fall into place once you start living there and you can buy the stuff you need.



you wanna get your @$$ kicked?

Tuff guy? mind your own business u lil sh**!

besides $$$

all you really need are the right clothes and shoes........those things take the most time and effort to shop for....at least for me

everything else you can just easily pick up at walmart

make sure to have all your documentation tho....it's a pain to have your parents fax you stuff or express ship you stuff like birth certificates, passports, SS cards....etc

oh yah, documents i forgot. yes, like skyline said, bring all your IDs, passports and any paperwork that you will need.

crap i dont even have a driver's license. looks like i'll hafta carry my passport around for identification lol

oh where do u buy student insurance? where do i find a physician?

laptop

there's WALMART in Chicago? where!

when you get there buy a dictaphone as well

Walmart has a nice selection of Condoms. A word of advice, go with the Magnums..alot of blacks in that area.

what course are you going to be doing?

violin major, so music theory, harmony, keyboard, music history, sight singing, lessons, recitals, orchestra and so on.

if i have time for electives I would love to sign up for a health/nutrition related class. I'm having a hard time imagining taking only music related courses for four years.




so i kno it gets really cold, i just donno how cold. how much clothes do u hafta put on to not be cold? i think i need to get more jeans

4 yrs? I'd have thought that'd be 3
scrap the dictaphone and laptop then

pfft music is alot harder than u think boy

i need a laptop no matter what. i can't live w/o my taiwanese talkshows! lol

takashi's gonna be a goddamn lawyer

wow like everybody's becoming lawyers and doctors these days. tsk tsk

lol I didn't mean it isn't, its just that here most degrees are 3 yrs, law is 3 yrs.

as well as all those pics of japanese boys

im sorry im sorry



yeh i know. i feel like such a nerd

You mean her stack of J-AV


mainly because they want money

i think asian males are more pressured to become doctors/lawyers. good thing i'm a girl. if i was a guy and majoring in music, other asian parents would gimme wierd looks of pity.


oh please i am OVER j boys already

yeh and they attract all the girls too. all girls wanna marry a doctor/lawyer

well not really, since i'll be around ppl in my field most of the time. so i'll probably end up w/ another person in music. which is cool, cuz i was brought up under the influence of classical music

Hmm..........I dont think its just a guy thing, my parents wouldn't be particularly happy if any of us studied something they didn't see as academic. My sister is studying medicine.
You know you're not


There seems to be a lot of golddiggers in the US.
I dont want to get married.

I'm studying medicine.

Aren't you studying something to do with biology prior to it though?

Yes I am.

music is academic, just a different branch of academic. i think most asian parents abhor art/music mainly b/c they know nothing about it.

if he mistreats you, call me and ill teach him a lesson



supreme capitalists. what do you expect?

My parents wouldn't appreciate a music degree because of the fact that there isnt much chance of a high income. My mother can play the piano and the electric guitar which I find odd...............I still dont understand what was going through her head, very random combination. My father also plays guitar (electric,bass,acoustic) and my mother gave him some piano lessons although I suspect that originally that was more so he could get to know her than the fact that he was genuinely interested. They know bits of other stuff as well though.


I dont get why you dont just have medicine degrees over there.

Me either. Now I have to apply for med school, and I'm so behind! Terrible.

what piano and electric guitar, that is odd! ya most musicians don't have a high income. its a bit harder to make ALOT of $$ unless either ur REALLY good/ you have connections/ or your business smart. I kno ppl who suck at their major, but they made a bunch staying at home and teaching privately. being a doctor does allow u to make alot of $$$, but i think its a profession that requires great responsibility. say u operate on someone and that person dies....terrible

its ok. just find a rich husband and make him your slave

Why not just get an ID when you get here. Student insurance you can just kindly ask around.



WALMART is a national business.



I just got back yesterday, and is like an oven!!! All you need to know is when is cold, is cold. When is hot, is hot. There is hardly mild temperatures. Consistently anyways.



I'm gone for a few days, and her J-boy addiction wears off? What happened?
