supposed to be studying

i should be studying right now, instead i'd like to listen to joni and write a bit, i don't have much to write about just the average everyday, general routine is as follows:
~wake up around 6:30-7 ish to study for my ting xie..aka dictation
~shower and study till about 8:15 where i walk down the street about half a block to get a delicious egg/lettuce/ plum+ spicy sauce sandwich/pancake thingy (very difficult to explain, no comparable US treat)
~class 8:30-10:20 pretty standard, survive the ting xie with largely varying degrees of success; study some Chinese grammar and what not
~break 10:20-10:40 during which we goof around in the hall or go grab a snack at the little store this week our discussions have centered quite hilariously on defenestrating sesquipedalians
~more class from 10:40-12:30
~12:30 means lunch which is no longer painful now that we no longer have an isolation table for us first years and can sit wherever

the afternoon ='s various activities usually including a run to our favorite bubble tea place for a 5 kuai bubble tea
and naps and studying and recently a little bit of shopping! very dangerous! many cheap things including completely legit rainbows for 40 kuai aka less than 6 bucks! loves it!

in other news: each day i feel better about the Chinese speaking thing... and i'm starting to like it! i'm also trying to bring back the French & Portuguese words to keep that fresh!
