Last week was pretty fun. Monday morning I had a presentation. Monday afternoon I had an exam. Tuesday morning I had an exam. Judging by my previous statements, my weekend running up to that wonderful few days was spent in the library or sleeping. Well, now that week is over and here I am: still breathing. I got my grades back in this weeks class and it wasn't as great as I wanted to do. Oh well, they are small portions of my overall grade. School is boring...let's move to something else.
My hall had a formal dinner on Monday night. It was...fun. Half of the time they were speaking in Cantonese or English that was not exactly perfect. Needless to say, I zoned out for a fair bit of it. Not much excitement other than that with the residence kids.
Last night was St. Patty's day. Always exciting. A bunch of students went down to an Irish Pub for a bit. I love how everyone claims to be Irish on this day. Real Conversation last night...
Guy: (Yelling) Who here is actually Irish?
Girl: (Raises hand) I am!
Guy: Where are you from?
Girl: New York!
Guy: Have you ever lived in Ireland?
Girl: No.
Guy: (Still Yelling) Is anyone here ACTUALLY Irish?
Never lived in Ireland? Parents never lived in Ireland? Grandparents never lived in Ireland? In my book, your family may have been Irish but you aren't. I'm not. Call me a half-empty kinda kid, I don't mind.
For those of you who didn't hear, we took a fieldtrip to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange last week. It was pretty uneventful but still an interesting thing to see.
That's about it for now. The picture is of myself and the kid who was sitting next to me at our dinner thing.
