Things are going by fast here. Still haven't been paid due to unnecessary bureaucracy at the university, but hopefully soon. Oddly enough, I'm happy about the annoying amount of time it takes to get paid when you work for Seattle Public Schools, so that August 1st paycheck came in handy.
I'm finally completely unpacked in my apartment, and it's definitely home. I love love LOVE having this much space to myself! One of my air conditioners is broken, so I just chill out in the other room, usually.
Went down to GuangHua computer market the other day. It's really insane, 7 floors of computer/techie gadgets. The dork inside of me was definitely overwhelmed. I needed a new graphics card because my old one broke, so I bought a decently cheap one. When I got home though, I discovered they gave me the cheaper model of the card I bought! I'm kind of annoyed, but the difference in price is only about USD$13 and it takes an hour to get there and back, so I think I'll live. Besides, it runs starcraft 2 fine.
I'm giving midterms this week, which means I do half as much teaching as usual. I still have to make up one for Wednesday, but now instead of my usual Monday afternoon of procrastination for what to do for my writing class, I can write my midterm for Weds, then procrastinate :). 2 and a half weeks left and then I have a full week off. I have to say, my life is pretty chill so far.
Thank god LJ autosaves now, since twice now I would've lost what I had written due to spontaneous web page changes o_O.
In other news, the food continues to be amazing, and I've finally figured out how to not make my body hate me for eating it, like I even eat vegetables and enjoy them now! How stunning.
Not much else is going on, besides a little sightseeing and some not-so-G-rated updates that are forthcoming.
