1.Hero: Something funny he did today:
Hero got the idea from somewhere that Wolverine likes to huff and puff, like the Big Bad Wolf. This morning Hero said “I’m a big Wolverine” and breathed in and out really quickly, sort of puffing his cheeks out. I think the hyperventilating made him dizzy because after a minute he said “I’m so sick now” and put his head in his hands. Also last night he was talking in his sleep and he said "H. H is for Hero. Remember number five?"
2.Things I should be doing right now:
Reading about environmental NGOs in China
Writing about environmental NGOs in China
Filling in my Chinese workbook (technically easy but I want to get 100% on my workbook this time around so I have to triple check all the answers before I write them neatly into the book- tedious!)
Doing my daily Chinese character writing drills.
Gathering sources for an essay about guanxi.
Writing about political legitimacy in post-Mao China
Gathering sources for an essay about... the rise of China’s manufacturing industry and its effect on Sino-Australian relations, I guess. That seems like the most straightforward topic for the question I’ve been offered.
I didn’t realise how China-heavy my to-do list was until I wrote that out. I think I am boring in public now, because the only things I know how to talk about anymore are China, the Dewey Decimal System and toddlers.
3.Oh god, it turns out I have nothing to report. Today I bought some pencils. They are very sharp and I can write clearly with them, this makes me happy.
It's just as well. I should not engage in (retro!) online social media until I get at least two of the above listed items out of the way. And then there will be something else I urgently need to do. See you in November, social media.
