Dear Diary,
Today I get to college in China with Ms. Mitsuki (a.k.a. Kaho by my oniichan). Ms. Mitsuki is a college professor at the college in China I'm planning to go to. Ms. Mitsuki allowed me to stay in her apartment with her and to take me to school, if I promised to keep good grades in school. I could easily keep good grades, so I am going to go to college there. I emailed Meilin awhile ago telling her I was coming to go to a college in China and she freaked. Meilin is planning to take me out to dinner the first day I'm in China. My otosan bought me a brand new laptop to use and I'm typing this diary entry on my new laptop. It's so kewl that I don't have to lug around a bunch of boxes of computer pieces to Ms. Mitsuki's apartment, I'll have a convenient laptop to carry. Tomoyo is already at the college, but she is living in a bachelor apartment near the college campus. Tomoyo thinks I'm coming to college in China so I can see Syaoran. She thinks I like Syaoran a lot! I don't……at least I don't think so…. Tomoyo says that she's going to the college in China because it is known as a good photography and fashion school. Her boyfriend, Eriol, is going to college in England, and she complains that she misses him too much. Chiharu and Yamasaki are going to college in the United States. Some college called Harvard. Naoko and Rika are going to the local college in Japan. Naoko doesn't want to travel too far from her family and Rika can't leave her love, Sensei Terada. Oh, we're in China. I'll write some more later, Ja ne.

Dear Diary,
Hello. It is the night (actually morning) after the dinner with Meilin. She is a lot different than when I last saw her. She has cut her hair so it's about one or two inches below her shoulders. Her hair is really wavy because she got a perm and she dresses more like an American teenager. She has broken off the engagement with Syaoran and is dating a cute Chinese guy. His name is Henry Wu (Meilin told me that it is more common for Chinese mothers to name their children with Americanized names and have a Chinese last name). Tomoyo was there with me. I had a fun time except that Syaoran said literally only one word to me, which was hi. He looked really handsome in his khaki slacks and navy blue polo shirt, but he was as silent as if he was on mute. Meilin tried to get him to talk but he didn't say one word, so I just chatted and gossiped with Tomoyo. She told me all about her teachers and which teachers were mean and nice. Tomoyo told me lots of people told her that Ms. Mitsuki is a really friendly and a really good teacher. She also told me that there was a rumor that Ms. Mitsuki said she was dating my oniichan, Touya. I laughed so hard because Touya was very picky when it came to girls and that Ms. Mitsuki was too old for him. Meilin told me the best shopping centers and restaurants there are around the college and her boyfriend told me where the best coffeehouses were. After dinner I went straight to Ms. Mitsuki's apartment, and with Tomoyo and Ms. Mitsuki's help, I unpacked and situated my luggage. After Tomoyo left and Ms. Mitsuki left to her room to correct papers, Meilin called. She told me that Syaoran was acting strange because when he found out that I was coming to China he freaked out and tried to make himself a perfect gentleman. Meilin told me that he was so excited and happy that I was coming, but he didn't talk to me at all at dinner. I told Meilin that I didn't mind that Syaoran didn't talk to me and maybe it was that he was too surprised to see me that he was in shock. Meilin told me that Syaoran admitted to Meilin that he loved me. He was just too shy to admit it to me. I told Meilin that I loved him too. (I do of course, but I couldn't admit it to myself until now). I told her not to tell him, but to let Syaoran come to me on his own. After I talked with Meilin I went straight on the internet and emailed my otosan and oniichan. I also emailed Syaoran and asked him to meet me at some café in the morning. He emailed me back and said he'd loved to and apologized for not to talking to me. He said that he was so nervous that he just sat silently. He told me he had lots to tell me and update me on. I couldn't wait until I saw him tomorrow morning. I have to get off the laptop. I need my beauty rest so I can look my best for tomorrow.
