First Full Week of School

Hello there!

Well, last week was certainly busy, and this week will definitely be the same. Not much happened except me doing homework and preparing for presentations. By the way, I have two small quizzes and a presentation tomorrow, which is also the day I have my only 8am class. Hooray!

Anyhow, when I haven’t been spending my time in class or been studying, I’ve been spending time with my friends. I had a stollen party with two of my German friends, Wanda and Jule. Stollen, for those of you who don’t know, is a type of German bread which has fruit and martzipan inside it. It’s quite tasty, and I thought we could eat some as a break from studying. Other than that, I’ve been preparing a presentation for my grammar class about two different Chinese grammar structures, and preparing for my other presentation, which I was supposed to give last Thursday, but due to there not being enough time, I have to present it tomorrow. Oh well.

I really wish I could post more, but there seriously was nothing else going on this week. Also, the pollution was really nasty (over 500), so most of the time I didn’t go outside to protect my health. It got so bad that one night there was artificial rain. I’m serious, it started raining without provocation, so most of us think that they used cloud seeding to clear out the pollution…which is really depressing when you think about it. It was so polluted I couldn’t see the buildings across the street, and I live on the eleventh floor, so it’s not like anything is blocking my site (except the pollution).

I’m sorry my life has temporarily become so boring. I will try to remedy this soon (most likely when the weather clears up).

For now, I leave you with this picture of a blue sky (we need more of those here, literally).
