so tired!
Today I was called in to translate from Chinese into English my boss boss' (as in, head of the entire hospital) presentation for a delegation of Australians. Two hours straight. Then two more hours of trying to deal with lunch, where the men talked to the Australian man, while the two Australian women were ignored and I was seated across the table so conversation was difficult. Plus, with the recent austerity measures in place in an effort to curb government officials' spending on things like banquets, Dr. Pan did not order that much food so we were basically all just picking at dim sum which looked ridiculous just lining the edge of an empty lazy Susan. I mean, I've had meals at Saint City (name of the restaurant) where there were two types of sashimi in addition to fish, a soup course, a salad course, and several mains. I was hoping for sashimi, but oh well. At least no fish maw like whenever we go to Donghu Hotel. Blugh.
Then I had dinner with Patrice, which started off sort of awkward on my end - I was scared and nervous that I'd have nothing to say but by the end of the night I was making her laugh. Matt jokingly wants me to stop talking about her because I bring her up and he still hasn't met her and he's convinced I'm in love with her. She invited me to go to church with her on Sunday, but I declined.
Overall okay day - I'm so tired. So so tired.
