I'm officially addicted to this song called "Lambada" by Kaoma. But although I've found LOTS of versions of the music video, I can't find the actual mp3 version of the song. Even Chinese people/downloading websites have failed me. I can only find the song as a "ring tone" to download to my imaginary Chinese cell phone. Does anyone have any magical ( Read more... )

Umm . . . yeah. I definitely got my ass kicked in an English language game by a 10-year-old Chinese girl . . . I now officially want to die ...

Back when I was a little Firstie at MHC I signed up to be on the mailing lists for tons of clubs, one of them called "Debunking Whiteness," which is basically a club trying to make white people more aware of racial problems. Now I never actually went to a meeting (or a meeting for any of the other clubs for that matter . . . God, I was lazy), but ( Read more... )

I'm icky sicky . . . have been since Monday. I think I'm slowly on the mend, seeing as I don't have a headache or a fever anymore! :D However, my cough is still rather disgusting. I hate it when I have a cough, because I get these wild coughing fits that scare the crap out of everyone around me . . . and it disrupts class . . . which is always ( Read more... )

I sucked in class yesterday. Normally I wouldn't care, because I'm in Germany and nothing really counts anyways, but it was Kai's class and I wanted to say something intelligent. But I think I got myself so worked up about being intelligent and saying something that I scared myself into losing all self-confidence I could have had. Kai didn't call ( Read more... )

GOODBYE HAUSARBEIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am finally finished with this god-forsaken paper. Now all I have to do is bribe Marie into reading it and correcting it for me . . . probably with noodle soups from the Asian grocery store. Then I'm FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can finally hand it in ( Read more... )

I was starting to get worried. See, I need 2 more 300-level classes in the Asian Studies department to graduate, and since ISIS said that there literally weren't any classes about Asia at the 300 level, I was starting to get worried and do something crazy like take a 300-level class off campus. But then the department sent out this e-mail saying ( Read more... )

Today was (finally) my first day of school in about 2 months. Of course, since it is indeed Germany I am in, the professor for my first class decided to skip the very first day of class. So, I remain vastly uninformed about the many intricacies of modern Chinese history. Not that that class would have enlightened me any. The professor is impossible ( Read more... )

I've been flooded with school stuff today. I have a rough idea of what my schedules will look like next semester at MHC and this semester in Germany. I'm kind of pissed there aren't any 300 level Asian Studies classes that aren't language classes though. This means I'll either have to take a class off campus or take two 300 level classes in the ( Read more... )
