Nothing more than Strangers,

My really bad attempt to study today, went for a nap instead!
And i washed my clothes again today, but the results weren't any better. More fur everywhere, and white cotton stuff spread to my other clothes, its a leaving nightmare! Oh the horror and trouble of laundry, damn. Im sticking to liz idea of air drying, should do the job. Considering that we don't even sweat here and im getting fairer by the days due to the very good job i do in covering myself up like a bazhang to protect myself from the cold.

Speaking of bazhang, i kind of want to eat it now! So school books are really expensive, and i just spent a fortune on it! 4 books for a total of $220, not to mention that its second hand, can you imagine all new? It'll cost me more than $400! So school has started, pretty alright, havent doe much work because this is introductory week which means going through unit outlines and stuff like that. School's really independent here, minimal spoon feeding, and largely self reading. I must admit, lecture notes here are pretty pathetic, not in detail or even informative. And the textbooks, oh my. Its so thick, so heavy, so much to go through!


I haven't got a school bag yet, so im lugging around files and books in my hand, and trying to squeeze everything i have into the tiny sling bag which is more suitable for shopping. My friend list is expanding here which of course i see as a totally good sign. Cooking has been improving i must say, or so i choose to believe. I cooked fried rice, with minimal ingredients because of the lack of it. Like good old xp days, oyster sauce always saves the day! Im totally hooked on binbin and wangwang here. I must ay its expensive here, but whatever. I finished 3 pckts of it in just a week. Can you imagine how quickly im piling on the weight and calories.

Im usually not that crazy conscious of weight issues or anything, but on average, most people put on 2-7kg here?! So im like, thats a hell lot, i dont want to be looking like a snowman when i return. Exercising seems like a very good alternative, but i haven't got any track shoes. And eating out often and cheap pizzas doesn't seem to be helping. Its crazzzyyyy! I cant do situps either. the floor is carpeted, and i think loaded with cat fur and what not funny stuff, and doing it on the bed hurts the back. I need an alternative! Walking to school is my only form of extensive movement.

I can literally feel myself growing bigger, honestly. But i comfort myself by saying its water retention or smth, but in the long term, these self-comforting sentences aint going to help much! I want to go snow boarding, everyone's going. But im scared of the cold, it must be freezing. maybe when im more well adapted, i'll go for sure next month!

Im determined to get out of bed and head to church this sunday and later, do some grocery shopping before school starts getting anymore hectic. :)

And actually, i realise i don't really want to know anymore, its better left unsaid. Only to be found out later, when things don't really matter anymore, i still love you, <3
