Well, I don’t know, but my previous roommate is gone and a new one (a local as tall as I am if not taller, by the name of Alex) is here. Glad nobody told me.<\/p>\n
Psycholinguistics was bigger than I thought: the classroom was full. It seems to be an education requirement and more focused on acquisition. That’s still cool. Nobody wanted to sit near the white kid, but the number of people in the class forced the issue.<\/p>\n
I’ve heard many people are having to drop classes because the readings are in Chinese. Apparently the definition of “English” in the class list is flexible. I have only one class (other than Mandarin) from a Chinese professor—it’s tomorrow—so there’s only one chance for that to happen to me. We’ll see tomorrow afternoon. <\/p>\n
Had the first Mandarin class and almost every exchanger is in it, that should be fun. Unlike learning Mandarin. Who came up with tones?<\/p>\n
On the other hand, I should have a Chinese name by next class.<\/p>\n
I think I can handle the four (five? neutral should count, right?) though. As for the 5-9 of Cantonese, uh.<\/p>\n
You can’t check VHS out of the library. Boo. On the other hand, the movie and serials collection (DVD and VHS) is nothing short of fantastic. Hopefully we’ll get a group together to watch Airplane!<\/i> in a study room tomorrow night.<\/p>\n
I’ve uploaded a few stolen (from Cassie) pictures of Jessalyn’s birthday celebration.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow morning is my first appointment with Hong Kong’s bureaucracy (since entering the SAR)—I’m to be at the Yuen Long immigration office at 0945 to apply for my HKID. I’ve never actually been to Yuen Long, so I’m not sure when to leave, but the office is in some kind of shopping center so I’m sure there will be something (FOOD) to spend time on. I guess I should try to be out of here by 9 just in case.<\/p>\n
Today I went up to Chung Fu and ordered a pair of eyeglasses with a titanium frame and higher-index plastic for what looked like a reasonable price. Since they took a credit card I have leverage if anything’s wrong with the product, which I’ll pick up next Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
