Random information!
Alas, I am too tired to recount my migrant school story tonight. It’s actually a decent story, so I want to wait until I can do it justice. Instead I will appease you with some random information:
- It’s rained the past couple days. Though the cold accompanying the rain has been unpleasant, it’s nice to have a little moisture.
- Today I bought an umbrella. It was only 10 kuai (about $1.5), and I bought it from the Beijing Breakfast stand, so I don’t know how well it’ll hold up. If it can last through my trip that’ll be fine.
- This coming Friday I leave for Nanjing, followed by Shanghai! Also, in between Nanjing and Shanghai we’re apparently stopping by Suzhou for a weekend. Suzhou (and Hanzhou) are supposed to be amazingly beautiful, so I’m pretty excited.
- Tonight we played Mafia! It was fun, though a little rowdy towards the end as people got a little more tipsy.
- After Mafia I talked with my friend Zuri for a couple hours. I don’t get much one-on-one time with people here, so it was really nice.
- Did I already mention my trip to the Forbidden City?
- I won best voice in our singing contest. The singing contest itself was awesomely fun.
- Sorry, I’m behind on picture uploading. I’ll try to catch up soon.
- I have a paper due Monday that I’ve hardly started. Really not started, honestly. Fortunately it’s pretty short.
Tomorrow morning a couple of my friends are putting together a big Western-style breakfast for everyone! I’m really excited for it. I’m also supposed to look at some apartments with a friend tomorrow.
