Ting che! Zhuyi nide anquan! It means "Stop the Car! Pay attention to your safety!"

If I can remember how to write that in Chinese in 5 hours, I'll pass my test. Good luck to me.

It was kind of an interesting weekend. On friday night, I went to a downtown coffee shop because a guy I know was playing his guitar there with a few other guys from the academy. And my god, they were amazing. I mean, his playing was spot on, and the voice was awsome, which is strange because he doesn't have much of a speaking voice. I mean, I ( Read more... )

So, I don't sleep any more. I nap. I'll go to sleep soon. Then I'll wake up in 3 hours, hopefully drag my consciousness around some Chinese before breakfast, and then go to class. Of course, on 3 hours of sleep, you have no chance of actually understanding aristotle, and it's a good bet you'll forget all the chinese you've spent hours trying to ( Read more... )

Well, it's 1 am and I can't study for Chinese anymore. This is the only class I have that still requires 6:30 am tests, and it's going to hurt. Other languages, hell, even english doesn't make sense that early in the morning. I may know how to write all the characters, but understanding sentences is going to be brutal. This whole week is brutal. I' ( Read more... )

Well, it's been pretty warm these last few days, but the weather report says it's supposed to snow tomorrow, just in time for the damn spring fitness test. I really don't want to run in the snow. Still, some things are looking up. I just had my lesson in Unarmed Combat II. It was kind of fun playing "find the fresh bruises" after class every day ( Read more... )

So livejournal here sucks. Whenever I try and post, the whole site goes wacko on me and won't let me write anything.

Well, I don't know why, but lj wasn't working at school the last month, so I don't know when I'll be able to post again. Vacation in california's been awsome, especially with all the sunshing up until a couple days ago. I somehow made it through the most hellish month of my life between thanksgiving and christmas, and I get to find out my grades ( Read more... )

This is why I gave up all my video games. When I play them, I end up staying up till 2:30 when I have to wake up in 3 hours.

Oy, it just got cold! Yesterday was fine, 50 degrees or something. Today was more like 15, and icy, and such. But so far, I haven't seen anyone flip onto their backs yet. But give it a few days, and a few will probably go down. It's those marble strips. Most of the walking surface is rough. But every dozen feet or so, you get a smooth marble ( Read more... )

I've got lots of things I could talk about, since I've just recently rediscovered that I somewhat enjoy writing, but I think I'll only talk about the one that actually equals guaranteed pleasure in my life right now. Poker. Yes, it's not very interesting for most people and it probably will never lead to world peace, but damn, I love that game. ( Read more... )
