Grasping for Straws

I always try to write when I have inspiration or something to write about. Something at least semi interesting.

Obviously, I’ve lacked that as of late.

Routine has settled in. We have quizzes almost every day that require study, plus daily life things like sweet talking girls to get me a Coke Light (Diet Coke) when they go to the story. Important things.

Most of us are tired after a day of classes. A day is usually three classes, each two hours long, starting at 8 AM. So usually, those wonderfully fun things like exploring and stuff are done on the weekends.

In the past few weeks, I’ve learned a few things outside of class:

How to bleach clothes (the water here is warmer than I figured…).
The cats here probably have rabies.
I’d rather have a good hard mattress than a bad soft mattress.
National Geographic shows the same commercials.
Telecommunication infrastructure in developing nations like China is… developing.
When people laugh in your face for trying to speak their language, shake it off.
I don’t have Syphilis, AIDs, Hepatitis A, B, C, D, E or F, or any other contagious or communicable diseases.
Ultimate Frisbee always seems to lead to injury.
I crave chocolate while in China.
I love garlic.
I love fried/steamed vegetables with garlic.
Time is going quickly.

So there are a few things I’ve learned.

Seriously, that’s all I’ve got. Someone comment. I know at least a few people read this thing. Give me something to talk about. Give me questions, because probably until we go to Quanzhou in early October, I won’t have much to write about.
