hello!today i went for my second proper class. (the first i decided not to add.) intro to conflicts. nice.
today i also found my way around alone quite a lot. well mostly i got lost, but nothing is impossible with a little time.
today there was a level 1 typhoon warning, it was crazy windy so i had to tuck my waterproof file under my arm while fighting to keep my yellow tartan umbrella, Uterus, in my grip. and my skirt on me.
today i went for the school's choir practice! it was cool enough. they aren't half bad, they want the same long vowels and although i can't understand specifically what they say it's easy to get the gist of things. it's all music after all. getting there was a roundabout adventure, and i liked it enough to sign up for dinner next week (not sure why one would need to SIGN up for these things..) but now i realise they'll kick me out for poor 50%-only attendance. so it's just too bad i prefer that tuesnight ADR class!
tonight i'm just slacking in my room! it's raining so we panned the jogging plans in favour of flora-ho gymming tomorrow. the buildings here are ALL named after some person or the other and it's mildly annoying, cos i can't seem to remember the non-english names and i refuse to admit have gotten too anglicised along the way (how could that be possible??????????) but names like hsu long sing building took me forever to learn.... so. shucks.
I MISS MIDDLE EASTERN FOOD. although i've only had it once.
***
well, since i am so free. more accurately, i miss having middle eastern!
the weather's been lovely. i must be made for the cold. stupidly, the layers come off as temperatures dip - today i was reluctant to bring my jacket out, although good sense eventually won out.
i am in the midst of migrating to mozilla after two years with safari. i hate having to sift through my bookmarks. the process of trashing them is particuarly distasteful. if i didn't have to move i'd just leave them be (to rot, or not) but now i have to think. and decide.
