Had a nice lunch'n'chat with Peter...and some random chick whose name I'm totally blanking on.  Twas good and life was discussed as it always is, though I must say a thing or 2 was said that made me go "wait...what? no.  oh no no no no, let's not take this there."  It ended on a HIGHLY amusing note of him getting a phone call from the girl he's got ( Read more... )

Oy vie.  Suddenly I've gone from having a completely blank schedule to being booked like WOAH and now I've only got a week before packing up for NY.  I still can't fathom making this move and yet I am.  I need to poke B&N about being a reference again and refresh my resume because it's the same since I first applied to Aston...back when I was a ( Read more... )

I had these intentions all day to do a serious LJ on my thoughts on the hypocrisies of parents towards teachers and how overly coddled parents expect their children to be treated OR thoughts on weddings after chatting with Christine about her friends' upcoming nuptials as well as thoughts on my own possible hypothetical wedding.  But after spending ( Read more... )

I really have nothing to say; I just don't want to sleep yet.  My sleeping schedule is still to shits and I want to eat food but I'm trying to wait until morning.  I plan to have a hazelnut latte, an egg and maybe some bacon on toast, and some fruit.  Lunch will be some jumbalaya with sausage, fruit, and a crissont with nutella. Can we say " ( Read more... )

Well, in case you failed to notice, in case you failed to see....I'm no longer in China.  The give away might be that I can actually acess LJ to write this or I told you in advance although I've come to find I did a pretty shitty job of this.  After 26 hours of traveling, I've made it back to Iowa and let me tell you, tears were shead at the sight ( Read more... )

Since I have no life 4 days a week, I appologize for obsessively blogging.  But I have no life and am frequently bored out of my sanity.  While the day started off semi-poorly caused by questionable health and being harassed at lunch by a door-to-door salesman...in a restaurant, the night has proven much more entertaining.  Not only have a found a ( Read more... )

To properly prep this conundrum I'm about to speak on, I feel like I need to explain the initializing thought behind it.  While discussing my co-worker's pregnancy (Sunny is having twin boys, yea!), Zhanwei got on the topic of pregnancy.  Specifically how long a woman is pregnant.  Now who agrees with me that a woman is pregnant for 9 months?  Is ( Read more... )

I spent yesterday afternoon wandering around the city with my friend Candy who is having boyfriend drama.  We chatted as we walked but it was cold.  Really cold.  Winter has pretty much officially arrived and damn it's cold.  Being that China runs on Celsius which I never bother to understand, I can't tell you how cold it is.  But let me say this ( Read more... )

While browsing through my favorite celebrity gossip cite, http://www.scanadlist.com , I couldn't help but begin to think about the essentials to being "hot" :  tan and skinny with big boobs (for girls) or tall and muscularly lean (for guys).  Why are these the essential traits for being so desirable?  Specifically why are these the Hollywood and ( Read more... )

Between episodes of "Nodame Cantabile" and composing a list of verb vocab words for my CT class, I kept browsing my earliest LJ entries.  It's really interesting to see the differences between the me then and the me now.  It's amazing how much I've matured and grown in 2 1/2 years.  Although there's one thing from the past which causes some major ( Read more... )
