Spent most of the day inside studying. It was colder today. I feel reasonably confident that I know all the words I’ll need tomorrow, but it did take pretty much all day to get them all. I spent a couple hours with my Chinese tutor going over stuff, and then went to dinner with her… Continue reading October 5 – Studying

Another fairly normal day, I’ll continue posting the interesting events I encounter, but I’ll be cutting down a bit on post length since it’s hard to dedicate half an hour every day to this activity. I spent a lot of time studying chinese, and some time doing programming. I got out again in the afternoon,… Continue reading October 4 – Weekend

I woke up at 8 this morning. Again, spent most of the morning on the computer. I studied a fair bit of Chinese, spent some time looking through travel sites, and some time on math homework. As to travel sites, I looked up flights and hotels for both a possible trip to inner Mongolia, and… Continue reading October 3 – Break

I woke up at 7, out of habit more than anything else, which was surprising since I’d been up until 2am. I continued to deal with the computer stuff I started last night, and geolocated all the photos I posted yesterday. I also moved this website over to my online hosting, so it will hopefully… Continue reading October 2 – Relaxation

I woke up at about 8, catching up on some sleep after the mountain adventure yesterday. I showered and packed up, and fiddled around on the computer for a little bit before heading down to breakfast at 8:30. We checked out of the hotel at 9 am, and took the bus over to jinxi (i… Continue reading October 1 – The Return

I woke up a bit before my alarm went off at 7, probably a lingering effect of yesterday. I got on my computer for the hour that I had, and made some progress at both a math problem, and some programming. I went down to some breakfast of porridge, some preserved vegetables, and hard boiled… Continue reading September 30 – Upwards

I was roused by gongs at about 4:30, and snoozed until my alarm went off at 4:45. Jeremy and I got up, and walked outside, it was still dark out. The sky was totally clear, and there was an amazing view of the milky way, I got cold after a couple minutes and went back… Continue reading September 29 – Onwards

I meant to wake up earlier today, but was feeling sleepy this morning, as a result of the hiking yesterday. I snoozed until about 8, and then got up and did some math homework and read a bit of the book I brought until it was time to check out at 9:30. There was lots… Continue reading September 28 – Heartland

I woke up at 7 this morning when our door was knocked on without trouble. I was one of the first down to the lobby of the hotel, waiting for everyone to congregate with the tourguide to start the day. Various people had complaints about their rooms that were dealt with first; Steven said his… Continue reading September 27 – Monks

I was woken up at 5:35 by a knock on my door. I had meant to get up at 5:25, but had accidentally set my alarm for pm rather than am. I still was perfectly fine, and got to the bus without problems. We got to the airport just a bit before 7. The plane… Continue reading September 26 – To The Mountains
