October 20 – back in the fray

Got up at 6:30, finished up my homework from last night. Probably made the right decision in going to bed early, since I had a headache and wasn’t being productive.

Went to class, sergio was less prepared than me, but neither of us did that well on recall of the words. Prof. wang was pretty understanding since we hadn’t been given any free time over the weekend.

after class, went back and studied through most of the afternoon.
It’s max’s birthday, so he organized a group to go and get dinner.

A few kids got food poisoning, probably from the wedding food. I wasn’t among them. Probably one of the vegetable dishes, since it was all of the vegetarians that got sick (plus a couple others.)

Met with lucia from 6-7 and did a tutoring session. Talked about the olympics for a while, since that is a homework assignment for next week. (thesis driven essay on something about the olympics.)

Went out in the evening, it was me, max, joe, Mary, Mary’s Tutor (shanshan), and the tutor’s friend (sarah, forgot her chinese name). Since so many people weren’t feeling well, we went over to wudaoko, a mile or so walk from campus.

There was a mexican restaurant over there that max had heard about, so we went there. The food was actually surprisingly good. I got fajitas, which seemed as true to the original as what you’d get in america. The prices were also not that bad, which was a nice change.

On the way out, there was a dance club of some sort below the restaurant. We walked in, apparantly there’s no cover on mondays (wonder why) and determined that there really wasn’t anything going on. When we walked out 5 minutes later they guys at the door gave us VIP cards that give us free cover every night, an interesting gimmick.

Walked back to campus, went to bed shortly thereafter.
