I got accepted to IUPUI (aka Indiana-Purdue Informatics) graduate program! :D :D :D

When I say \”two ten\”, I mean 2:10. My mom calls me and asks what time I want to meet her. I say two. Then she says that she will meet me at ten. I repeat my interpretation back to my mom. Two ten? I ask. She says At ten. Suddenly at 1:50 pm, the buzzer rings and she is at my door. I hear her irritated voice. I quickly gather my stuff and leave my apartment. Not a surprise, she first criticizes me saying that it was AT TEN. And I finally figure it out, in Chinese, people think of time of either ten until and not ten after.
