The presentation was OK on Friday. That guy who likes to launch into mercilessly irrelevant blather about Chomsky in class was, on a day when I was discussing his idol, speechless. I was kind of looking forward to some debate from him…
Friday was Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrating the Harvest Moon. Coincidentally, the moon was near apogeeperigee [I'm not an astronomer for a reason, oops] and bigger[-looking] this year. At noon the sky was overcast, but it cleared nicely by the evening. Went down near Causeway Bay and saw the dragons and lanterns and all that, but ended up home early (on a night when trains ran late!) due to a miscommunication.
Saturday was a public holiday (in HK Saturday is normally a workday) to let everyone get some sleep. I did. The Mainland gets a whole “golden week” off for it.
Today, I also slept. Watched a Lingnan U. v. Orange Team football match on the campus pitch. We got killed.
I hope you, dear reader, didn’t have too many mooncakes forced down your throat this weekend. I did get to try some “non-traditional ones” which were interesting (and easier to get down).
Tomorrow: a week of school without any festivals. Ick.

so does that mean you have class every saturday? and nice pics of the power plant :)
Schools (and now, the government and banks) have been moved over to a five-day week, so I don’t have class on Saturday. This means that when the festival is on a Friday, people on a five-day week get a “holiday” on a day they wouldn’t be working anyway.
