Last night we ventured to Macau for the night. For those of you who don't know what Macau is, it is a city somewhat like Vegas with lots of casinos and such. Saying this, Mom and Dad...I need money! Not really. I decided I would spend $20 (Hong Kong, less than $3 USD) on a slot machine just to add to the experience of being there. I lost. Shocking I know. Anyways, we just sat there and watched some performers on stage sing American songs fairly well. There were also these swing dancer people but that wasn't very cool. I learned how to play a game after watching it for 3 hours and having 3 people explain it to me. However, I wasn't about to place money on my new found knowledge. When the performances ended we headed back to our hotel where we neatly packed 9 people into a hotel room with 2 twin beds. I slept in a chair...if you can call it sleeping. A little more interesting information...we had to take a 1 hour+ ferry ride to the island. Now, before those of you who know certain ferry-related stories go all whoo-hah laughing, I didn't get sick. Didn't even feel queazy. Another kid got quite sick but my stomach was being a champion and decided to behave on the water.
The second week of classes are starting quickly. I am still trying to get the perfect schedule so I have class at convenient times. Another factor is I am trying to get in classes with some friends so when project time comes around, I can trust/rely on people I am more familiar with.
For those of you who have been having issues with the cold, please know that I am right there with you...in spirit. I was having trouble today as the heat was just too much for the jeans I was wearing. I needed a pair of shorts. It was easily mid-70s. I just want you all to remember that I have sacrificed my body to the heat so you don't have to...please, thank me later.
I know there are people who have sent emails or messages and haven't heard back from me. I have realized that sometimes I read things and forget about them. I am in the process of finding them mixed in 3 email accounts, facebook, etc. If you just want to send a copy again or a new message, it will go to the top of my inbox and I will probably respond!
I will have another post coming soon...surely there will be lots of info to share.
