'The Crying Baby Gets Milk'

Hello, everyone!

I've finally convinced the head fuwuyuan at my dormitory to allow me to stay for the last six days of my programme. I think that she finally understands that my programme is quite different from the short-term programme offered at BLCU. I don't want to go into too many details about this; however, my situation is quite different from that of the short-term programme. I think that she thought that my sense of entitlement was too high until I explained that the short-term programme's exam results shall be available either tomorrow or on Friday, whereas mine shan't be available until 20 July. I am booked here until 21 July. Only six weeks of complaining were required for that. I think that that's a record in China.

Although I have complained much, I have tried to resist the urge to yell and whine while complaining. However, one of the advisors for international students told me that I need to do that if I want to stay at all. I was prepared to do that but, in the end, I ended-up being quite Canadian. I didn't whine to the person who could possibly do something about it; I whined only to those who couldn't.
