Li-Na Yiu shared a video. 04/12 near Viea Village

[Li-Na is sitting in her room at Chiyo's house.] First. I have an announcement. [she holds up a piece of paper with RU letterhead and grins.] I was accepted to Recolle University! [She has to stop and take a calming breath, because every time she thinks about the letter she gets so excited she can barely talk.] I am going to major in dance, as pretty much anyone who knows me can guess. Wish me luck! [She puts down the letter, and then switches to the other camera on her phone. This provides a view of three large boxes sitting on the floor of the room.] I received some mail from my brother recently, including these packages. Which are FULL of food. I cannot eat all of it. So if anyone would like to try some of my favorite snacks from Hong Kong, just comment!

[ooc: the packages contain a wide variety of Chinese, Korean, and Japanese snacks foods, including pretty much anything in the above picture]

That's correct! I'm almost done with my first year, but it's been a wonderful experience!

And I haven't even declared a major yet! For someone that has already determined their path in life, I'm certain RU will be even more fulfilling!!

What was your favourite class?

If I remember correctly, you do not have to pick a major until the end of year two?

[steadycourse]

Hmm, good question! If I had to pick one, it's probably the political science course I took... I enjoy learning about all the intricacies involved in our government and the unfortunate corruption that sometimes take place!

Right again! I don't need to choose until the end of my second year, so I still have time! But I must start thinking about it!

I find government and politics really confusing. Especially here. It is rather different from Hong Kong, where I grew up. Not that Hong Kong's government was easy to understand either.

[steadycourse]

Ah, you're from Hong Kong? I was originally from Japan, but I moved to this country when I was rather young!

Nonetheless, government can be confusing! But I think it's something that we all should pay attention to!

I only came here last year, to work on my English before university.

If only so we can tell when something has gone wrong.

[steadycourse]

Your English is exceptional, especially if you only came here last year!

That's probably the most important part! How can we have faith in our laws if we don't trust the government?

[invocate]

Thank you. I learned English in Hong Kong, but coming to Recolle really helped.

I do not know. It is very hard to trust the government in Hong Kong.

[steadycourse]

If it helps, I think the government here is mostly trustworthy! It could use improvements, but that's why we all should pay attention... so that we can vote and get involved!

That is good to hear. At least I understand American history better after taking the class this year. Learning how they originally set up their government was interesting.
