new blog, new start!!

This is my first English Blog. feeling exciting. Yeah!!!!
Hehe, okay, I think I suppose to introduce myself first.
My name is Xue Chen. I am from China, a beatiful and mystery country. To sum up my life from the past 18 years of experience, I am a really lucky girl. I have a nearly perfect life.
My grandparents have five kids, My four aunts, and my father. My father is the youngest in his generation, and of course the only boy. He was the center of the whole family. He actually still is, just shared a piece of it with me, since I am the youngest and the only girl in my generation. All my aunts have boys. Pretty cool, the ratio is balanced out.
I grew up with my second and fourth (the youngest besides me) cousin. Under their influence, I was, is, and still will be a crazy town boy. Snick into the game room, catch cricket in the summer night, play fire cracker at midnight, fill water into the ant's hole, burn leaves with magnifying glass under the sun... Well, we don't do it anymore, but it was such a fun childhood.
After I got into middle school, life started to be a little bit more complex. especially in the girls' world. Girls never live in peace, they always have to have several enemies, even if they never have anything against each other. Gossip became the most important of between class activity. Though I never went crazy about gossips, but they could be interesting to listen sometime. And boys started to be interested in girls, and start asking people out. After turned down several boys, I became the "cold blood animal" of my class. Well, I am a snake, what you expect. As I said, I am lucky, I escaped at least half of the major exams by leaving to Israel several times, and school never ask me to make it up.
At the Christmas before I graduate from middle school in China, I moved to the US--New Haven, CT--where 9th grade became high school. A totally different environment with different language, well, life is tough. But am I lucky or not? We have a girl from Hong Kong in the band, she helped me a lot from the beginning. With her help, my English grew pretty fast, by the end of freshmen year, I can do basic communication by myself already. And then we moved again to Hastings, NY. There is no Chinese in this school, I can't depend on anyone anymore. Well, I guess I learned pretty fast. I had some friends and two really good friends at the end of sophomore year, Jhennifer and Julia, which are my best friends now.
And now, i have a little nephew who is already 2 years old. He is so cute. The strange thing is that my nephew is a half year older than my youngest cousin. HEHE, age and generation, they just can't work together very well.
