Good times in China


Since my last post I have been quite busy. For those of you who don't know, my favorite band is Coldplay...and they just happened to be in Hong Kong last Wednesday (25th). Wow. What an amazing show. I forgot how fun they were in concert. Unfortunately, they will be in the US over the summer which means I WILL see them again, spending too much money on tickets. Ahh, the sacrifices I make in life....food or Coldplay. I choose Coldplay. Too add to the excitement of seeing the concert, there was a big international rugby tournament last weekend. 3 days of people going nuts, dressed up and yelling at the matches. We went on Friday night for student night. It was a lot of fun. I'd never been to a rugby match so it was cool.

Now to the boring stuff that no one cares about. School. Boring. Ridiculous. Obviously, being the 21 year old college student that I am, I procrastinated until the last minute to do my work. Clearly this was the best course of action to keep stress low at the end of the semester. Coordinating groups of people, half of which are speaking a language that isn't quite as good as you would hope, is difficult. Let's call this a "learning experience." So this "learning experience" consists of editing pages of words that have poor grammar and sentence structure. Now, I am not saying they should drop out of school (well...maybe), I am just trying my hardest to understand that they are writing in a language that isn't their first. So, this is me being tolerant. Currently, instead of working on my papers (by the way...there are 4 in addition to the 2 presentations I still have) I am filling you all in on my life. Feel special. You are.

One of my friends is DJ-ing at a venue tonight. So, for all of you who like classic rock, current rock or more pop music....be sure to stay home because you will hate this. If you don't know what House and Electro music is I recommend not listening to it unless you want a headache (Mom & Dad). A thumping bass beat and computer generated tones generally don't strike your fancy if I recall.

I will try to write again soon...but this is all for now. Enjoy a picture from the Coldplay concert until next time....
