This morning I woke up to blue skies and the perfect temperature! Beijing fall weather is absolutely gorgeous.
Today I only had tingli (listening class) because our Intercultural Communications class got canceled. After debating forever I finally went to the gym around 10:45. After I met Heather for lunch; I got baozi again. I go through stages of loving one type of food for a week and then moving on to another.
I met with my tutor at the cafe on campus from 1-2:30. She helped me with my homework and then we talked about what types of clothes brands we like... in chinese of course. She asked me to describe my style- I had no idea how to say preppy. And she has never heard of J.Crew... so that conversation lasted about 2 minutes.
Tomorrow we are meeting at the cafe again at 1 and then she is taking me to a local supermarket to practice my chinese. I am pretty excited!
I took a 30 minutes nap at 3 and then met Kathy and Mariel at Starbucks to do work. The Starbucks is a two minute walk from the FX hotel. It was pretty loud. I still haven't found my spot to do work. No place is as good as Milliken. I definitely never thought I would say I actually missed Milliken.
After we were "done" studying, Kathy and I went to a noodle restaurant by the hotel. I got beef friend noodles (牛肉炒面）... the beef actually tasted like steak! Im starting to like onions; I don't really have a choice since every dish here as onions in it. I'll probably never eat onions when I get home though- so don't get your hopes up Mom.
Well... I should probably stop procrastinating and go study for my two quizzes tomorrow!
