Dear Followers,
Today I woke up at about 6:30 and started studying for the quiz. I kept studying until about 7:30 then i went to breakfast and had... breakfast. After that i went back to my room and studied a bit more then i went to class and had the quiz. it went okay out of the 24 Qs on the test i think i got 2-3 wrong. Really a drag cause i studied so much. Then we went over a bunch of grammar patterns ffor speaking which was a bit depressing cause they were so easy but my humility in writing kept me intact after that we went and ate korean food for lunch again, i am really loving the variety. after that we went and had culture class. cuulture class was pretty fun we talked about modern china its size population political problems i.e. Uighurs and Tibetans and the somewhat larger problem of taiwan. We then talked about the five major river systems and the geography of china vs. America. Dr. Chen, our professor, told us about how we have a quiz on thursday. OH right i forgot to mention that we also have a quiz in my language class the same kind that i spent hours studying for then still made mistakes. so after culture class we all went to tutoring. Our tutor was busy so a grad student came and tutored us which was pretty cool. He helped me on my studying technique and i think it should be much easier now. after that we did this buddy worksheet but our buddies were not there so we ended up doing it with our tutors but it was fine because our tutor was a grad student so he was more knowledgeable about the campus however we still came in second place because the group in front of us didn't do a question so they were able to get back sooner. for dinner we had western food which was really wierd. there was imitation tomato soup and imitation pasta. to top it all off there was this salmon, if you wanna call it that, that had this congealed fat and lemon juice sauce on it. after that i went and watched some people play ping pong for half an hour and then a elderly man taught me some tricks. then i went back to the dorm made some freeze dried pasta and started writing.
p.s. i am going to work on adding pictures.
