October 12th, 2004Finally going online from my room!
I have finally bought a computer! I bought it a few days ago at Xujiahui during the one-week October holiday 国庆节. My new Shanghainese friends came with me and helped me. I just told them （in English :wink:) what I wanted in a computer and even if it took a while for them to understand me perfectly, I finally have my computer. I don’t know chinese words for computer stuffs except 电脑(computer) but I picked up a few words. Please correct me if I’m wrong and it would be lovely to learn more words. 
内存 RAM ,主板 motherboard, 鼠标 mouse, 光驱 CD ROM Drive , 音箱 speakers, 硬盘Hardisk.
I applied for ADSL at the 中国人民电信 found inside Tongji on Friday afternoon and someone came to set it up today. It feels great to be able to go online when I want. No more having to go in the computer rooms on campus.No more having to wear blue plastic bags on my feet. 
Expect more blog updates from now on! 
To do:
1. Transfer pics from my digital camera to my computer.
2. Download programs for my computer. My computer feels too bare right now. 
3. Resize and upload some photos.
4. Homework. I still have homework to do for tomorrow.

You have to remove the square brackets and the words inside.
Feel free to email me.
Laptops are too expensive and I’m more comfortable with desktops. Still, I’m gonna save up for a laptop.
ah well.
I’ll see if i can take a photo of it. My table isn’t big enough for it. Only the speakers,keyboard,mouse and the CPU are on my table. I didn’t even buy a flat screen.
It’s so nice that you’re back!!
