Had my HKID appointment at the Yuen Long Immigration Office, which smacked of DMV. It was not that bad though. It’s around 40 minutes away by Light Rail plus walking—I’m sure I could have cut time by using West Rail to Yuen Long, but I’m cheap. Maybe next time if I’m in a hurry. The process itself took around 30 minutes, a photo and fighting with thumbprint scanners. I’m due back after the 20th to pick up my shiny new HKID: in the mean time I have a temporary one printed on special paper (photo and all) which must be traded for the real thing when it arrives.
Asia-Pacific has a flock of exchange students and looks like an ECON and a POLS 2/36x course smashed together. Interesting.
Taiwan does not seem interesting. The professor wasted nearly two hours of time wheedling out of tutorials and disorganizing everything in a frigid auditorium. That’s a drop candidate.
Had some Vietnamese (sort of) at a mildly sketchy place at Town Centre. We took a bit too long, so Airplane must fly another day. Got drenched on the way back, hung out in my way exciting room (well, the cell-phone games of Snake, Maze etc. were getting pretty heated anyway).
Roommate stayed up pretty late gaming with a friend, still messing around with computer. But I’m up too. Just finished a long conversation about my personal statement anxiety… I might change the beginning a little but I guess I’ll be plowing ahead soon.
Thanks to tutorials not yet meeting, I have no class tomorrow (not that I’ve ever had any). I guess (once I sleep in, just maybe) I will get a chance to agonize over my applications some more. I’ll also need to drop Taiwan and see if there’s anything interesting to add in a reasonable (i.e. non-conflicting) time slot. For now I’m going to pass out in bed and see if hints are taken.
