10/3 --- Last Wednesday was the Global Learning Expo on campus at HKUST. Earlier in the summer, I had signed up to perform some American songs at the expo. Another US exchange student, Wilson, signed up similiarly and we collaborated to learn 3 songs together to perform at the performance. Wilson is a singer, and his parents are from Hong Kong, but he grew up in California. We learned 3 songs together, "Wonderwall" - Oasis, "You and Me" - Lifehouse, and "3 Rounds and a Sound" - Blind Pilot. It felt kinda weird, because all the other performers in the expo were playing traditional instruments and traditional music, and Wilson and I were kinda just rocking out to some American alternative rock/folk. Oh well, what better way to represent America. Despite the annoying feedback and speaker setup, our performance went well. We even had a few locals singing along.

10/5 --- Two days later, I represented Lehigh at the Engineering Exchange fair to promote Lehigh to locals on campus as an option to study abroad. I think I convinced a few people. It was hard to compete with Sonny's booth right next to me, as she was giving out free candy. I was proud of my booth I set up though. I tried making it look pretty haha.

Sonny's board was kinda empty, but she gave
out free candy, and obviously had a much more
bubbly personality than me. |
