Day 21: September 14

Woke up feeling better but not perfect. Decided that it wouldn’t be good to miss two days in a row…. Metro… bus… school.

Went to class and talked my professor about missing yesterday. She was very understanding and gave me the handout I missed yesterday. Did listening exercises in media class. I think that media class is perhaps the most challenging but the most interesting too. It is really hard to keep up with the torrent of new vocab, but so cool that we are learning useful stuff. Stuff that you would read in a newspaper or see on television. I guess the getting around knowledge is useful as well, just much more boring.

After media we had grammar and then an hour and a half break. I spent most of the break at the medical clinic getting a exemption for missing the day before. It took forever because most of the doctors were in a meeting for some new illness called H1N1… like that’ll ever catch on…. Oh wait….

Anyways got it done and then went back for colloquial. Same song and dance in colloquial. Talked about stores and ordering stuff.

Took the bus home. Got up to my apartment and started studying. Monday and Tuesday are the hardest days for homework. Got all my classes on the next day which means that I have everything due. However, today I was able to get my homework done fairly quickly. Was done by 9:30 pm.

Took a break at around 7 to get dinner with Evan. Got some Koshri. It’s so good but so filling. After homework was all done I got a nice cold shower and started watching The Shawshank Redemption. Don’t know why but that movie has been on my mind allot lately. Really good movie. Got halfway through and decided to refocus.

Called Justin, Chris, and Sara. Reached 2/3. Chris was unable to pick up. Anyways it was good to talk to some friends from back home.

After making the calls I studied for a bit more and did some grad school research. Then went to bed.
