Week 6-6.5

Not too much has happened in the past week and a half. Just classes and recuperating from the Philippines. Here's some highlights:

I don't think I mentioned it before, but there are a lot of guys in my musical theater dance class. There's as many guys as there are girls (I know, weird). Well, we have been singing the song "I Have a Dream" from Mamma Mia, and there's one boy that doesn't seem to want to sing it an octave lower like all of the other guys. Well, soprano boy can't hit those notes. It sounds awful, but it's hilarious. I just don't understand soprano boy.

All of the other hall and organization cabinets have cleared out of the atrium, except the Fourster Army (of course), the Magic Club (yes, such a thing exists), and the Accounting Club. The Fourster Army continues to march around the building chanting (which they're doing right now), and I'm pretty sure it's never going to end. The Accounting Club had a fashion show the other day, which consisted of girls in strange dresses, and hearing the song "Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion on repeat. This is all just randomly going on in the atrium in the middle of the day during classes.


I had my first test. It was in Chinese, and it was pretty easy. We're not even using characters until the end of the semester. I did have to record myself speaking Chinese, and then I had to e-mail it to the professor. That was kind of weird. There's only 10 of us, so I'm pretty sure she could've just let us do it in class. Whatev.

Yesterday, my sorority sister Christina came into town on a business trip, so I got to hang out with her for a little bit. We ate at a Vietnamese place that my roommate had been to before, and then we went to the Temple Street night market. It was awesome, and it was really good to see a familiar face.

On my way back to the University, some creepy guys that were from Africa were trying to talk to me while I was on the phone, and kept asking me to hang up. I just walked away quickly.

I also got a card from Laura yesterday, which was really exciting :). I can't find the post office on campus to get stamps to mail anything home yet, or postcards. The signs on campus don't actually tell you the right way to go. There's one that's supposed to point to the supermarket, and it's on the wrong floor. It's crazy.

Well, I'm about to go to bed (yes at 9:30) because I have to leave HKUST at 5 am to get to the airport for an 8 am flight to Taipei. That means I will be MIA until Sunday. I'll try really hard to update sooner after this trip! I miss you all! Facebook/skype/AIM/e-mail me!
