A day with agency I went to consult an education agency today. They made a bid of RMB25,000 for applying for university and visa, which is sooooooo expensive! Actually, I don't trust the agency at all. My friend who went to America last year told me I could DIY it, which means I could apply for school and visa all by myself. But I feel dubious about my ability doing this. Today is also my DAY14 of fitness, only the 14 of 365! I still have a long way to go.
