Soooo stupid

Haha, just to show you how stupid I can be...remember I bought a bike? Yeah, I bought a bike about two months ago now. It was a looooong time ago. I parked it outside the foreign students' building (where I was living at the time) and then construction started in the area and a fence went up around the place where I had put my bike so I couldn't get to it for the longest time! Anyway, today I wanted to take my bike to a supermarket that's a bit further away where I hoped to find some dental floss (still don't have floss!). So I took out my bike lock keys (I have two locks) and went to find my bike. It was super dusty and dirty! I tried to open one of the locks and it wouldn't work and then I tried the other lock and the key broke!

Made in China...

A Korean friend passed by and we talked and I went to his friend's room and we chatted and they came over to my place and then we went to a small Chinese school just outside campus to see if I could attend some classes but they don't have any beginner classes at a convenient time for me...it's really too bad.

To vent my frustration I went for a run around the track - ten times! I was proud of myself.

And then we went out for dinner with Katia and Loic and Tintin, a Chinese friend who's studying French and English and can speak both (his English is better). He's this amazing guy who can do pretty much anything - a great dancer, choreographer, calligrapher, make-up artist, cook...everything. But tonight it was a bit stressful because he couldn't speak very well and it was getting a bit tiring trying to listen to him and understand and he wouldn't stop talking and talking and talking...

Anyway, it's only on our way home from dinner that I told Katia and Loic my bike problems and I showed them my bike and they were like, "You have a PINK bike????" And then I realised that no, I didn't buy a pink bike, I bought a grey bike...I broke my key on the wrong freaking bike!

Tomorrow I need to work. Didn't do anything today... But tomorrow is busy. Lunch date with Melanie and Candice (haven't seen them since we spent the National Day holiday together - there was a falling out between the French crew and the Americans), wushu practice at 3 PM, dinner with a Chinese girl who's going to take me to English Corner (a place where students practice their English), and then it's party night...although I'm not sure how much partying I'll be up for. So yeah, maybe I'll get up the courage to work on Saturday...hmmm...
