Lip still can't figure out whether or not the time in the episode should be based on the time!

You can only take one step at a time and see one step at a time!

But fortunately, the changes in Ian, Debbie, and Carl did not happen suddenly, there were signs in advance, and Lip only needed to pay attention to the signs, and then intervene.

As for Fiona, she is already an adult, and her personality, outlook on life, and values are all mature, and she can't be easily changed.

At most, Lip can only beat the side drum for her, and help her at a few important points.

And, according to Lip's plan, next year, in the fall of 2011, he will go to the University of Chicago, which is not far from the Gallagher House, only a dozen minutes away by car, but it is still two different worlds.

Under the heavy academic pressure, it is really difficult to say whether Lip will be able to take care of things at home.

Again, you can only take one step at a time.

After completing the first transaction with Jim, Lip didn't need to worry about money for the time being, but he didn't get lazy because of this, and the matter of metabolizing class papers and taking the SAT for others was still going on.

In particular, Lip attaches great importance to the SAT because it is related to whether he can be admitted to the University of Chicago.

Although with his current grades, he has a certain degree of certainty in taking the normal procedure to enter the University of Chicago, but after all, he is not sure that he has been recruited by the professors of the University of Chicago.

This plot, Lip doesn't want to change.

On the first Saturday of November 2010, it was November 6th, Lip completed an SAT proxy test on this day, and the test process was very smooth.

Unlike China, the United States does not have a unified ID card, and in the United States, there are three main ways to prove identity: passport, driver's license, and social security number.

The social security number, like the Chinese ID number, is a nine-digit number that every American has since birth, and this number will accompany every American for the rest of their lives.

In the United States, you can apply for a Class 1 driver's license at least 16 years old, and you can't drive on the road alone and need to be accompanied by someone, and you can apply for a full driver's license at least 17 years old.

The United States is known as the "country on wheels", and almost everyone has a driver's license, so to some extent, the American driver's license is equivalent to a Chinese ID card.

Passports, not every American has, with a driver's license, you can be unimpeded in the United States, only when you go abroad, you need a passport.

Lip, who is not yet 17 years old, is not yet old enough to apply for a full driver's license, and still uses a social security number.

Fake identification for people to take the SAT, some are social security numbers, some are driver's licenses, and what are they used for.

After this exam, nothing happened, and Lip successfully got the balance of the proxy exam.

During this time, the relationship between Lip and Karen continued to warm up and became closer than before, and Karen has become his plenipotentiary representative in school to carry out ghostwriting class papers and SAT tests.

Lip gave her a reward, in addition to a lot of commissions, but also her own body.

In fact, in the flesh @ body relationship with Karen, Lip can't figure out whether he is taking advantage of himself, or Karen taking advantage, or just taking what he needs.

Karen is now at school, almost inseparable from Lip, and after school, she spends most of her time with Lip, and to outsiders, they are almost no different from boyfriend and girlfriend.

However, Lip knew that Karen was still close to several of the boys at the school during this time.

This was not Lip's speculation, but what he saw with his own eyes.

After a long time with Karen, Lip can't help but have some feelings for her, and fantasizes in his heart that if Karen can be loyal to his relationship, Lip doesn't mind treating her better.

As for Karen's previous chaotic relationship, don't say that this is in the United States, even in the more conservative China, you can't care too much.

However, Lip, who is familiar with the plot, is really not at ease with Karen, so one night, he secretly stayed near Jackson's house to find out.

As a result, in the short two hours he was guarding outside Karen's house, there were three people who sneaked into Karen's house and fooled around with her!

In the middle of the night, lonely men and widows can't say they're doing their homework!

After that night, Lip was completely dead to Karen, only seeing her as a *** to vent his desires, and every time he had sex with her after that, he would remember to put on a raincoat so as not to get some messy diseases.

That night, Lip had already fallen asleep, and Carl had already fallen asleep, but Ian was nowhere to be seen.

Lip didn't think much about it, lay on the bed, followed the bedside lamp, and studied the economics-related textbooks that he had bought in advance from the University of Chicago.

The cost of textbooks for college in the U.S. is a considerable expense, and if you buy brand new textbooks, you will need to spend almost $1,000 a year!

This is mainly due to the fact that copyright protection in the United States is very strict, which leads to the high price of textbooks.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, even college students from wealthy families who are not short of money will choose second-hand textbooks to save most of their annual expenditure on textbooks.

The cost of going to university in the United States is very expensive, not only for textbooks, but also for tuition, living expenses, accommodation and other aspects, which are much higher than in China!

If the average college student born in a family does not have the help of his parents to share the tuition fees, and he or she relies on a loan to complete the four-year college study, the final loan amount may be as high as 100,000 US dollars!

This is still a public university in the state, and if you go to a private university in another state, it is not uncommon for the loan amount to reach four or five hundred thousand dollars!

The University of Chicago, which Lip intends to attend, is a private university with much higher tuition than public universities.

According to Lip's understanding, the University of Chicago now needs $40,000 a year for tuition, which refers to students in this state, and the tuition fees for students from other states are even higher!

In addition, the annual accommodation fee at the University of Chicago is as high as 12,000 US dollars - you must know that the price of the Gallagher House, which is more than 10 kilometers away, is only 60,000 or 70,000 US dollars!

After living at the University of Chicago for four years, you can almost buy the Gallagher House!

Combined with living expenses and other miscellaneous expenses, it costs almost $60,000 to study at the University of Chicago for one year!

Such a high cost is by no means affordable for ordinary families, let alone the Gallagher family, who are still below the poverty line.
