Life

What is there to write about? My life is consumed with school, sleep, and the like. Go figure. A few highlights of recent and ones that are upcoming:

I took a 45 minute bus ride with some others to go to a Western store and bought way over priced chips and salsa. First time in three months.

We’re more or less finished with Chinese I, just have an exam and have to memorize a Chinese poem and we’re done. Then on to Chinese 2 for me…

Next week, which is National Week here in China, we go north to Quanzhou (Chwen-Joe) for about three days to see some cool things. About 1000 years ago, it was the largest city in the world. Rock. Course we say, 1000 years ago? That’s nothing.

Yea, well Chinese see time differently.

And America hasn’t even seen 300 years.

So things have been busy. Lots of reading, have to do some interviews, we have around three quizzes a week. I also have to practice playing Chinese Chess, because when we’re in Shanghai, we get graded on that too. Coolest thing about Chinese Chess: the canons.

I need practice my oral Chinese more often.

Also, I hate girls.
