Boring classes sums up the first half of the day pretty well. Chinese was boring and Contemporary China was worse. I never thought anyone could make a picture presentation so boring, but the presenter somehow did it. At work, I spent most of my time learning Rails on Ruby (RoR) again since my bosses still weren’t back. Learning how to program in an object-oriented framework is a lot different than learning procedural programming, though it does get me thinking if I should revamp my site using a framework.

After work, instead of studying for Law like I should have been, I went to Mike’s birthday dinner. We ate at a place called Southern Belle that served Southern food. We were sitting outside on the patio, which was delightful since the weather was great. Free popcorn certainly helped too.

As for food, I had a bacon cheeseburger and a red bean and rice dish. I thought the burger was great, though I don’t know how much my two month deprivation of real burgers and my not exactly critical attitude while eating burgers had anything to do with my deification of the burger. Doesn’t really matter as long as I like it, right? Anyways, the red beans and rice dish was really good too and I might have liked it more than the burger. My bill ended up being 100 RMB, though I could have made it lower if I didn’t order ginger ale, which cost 20 RMB a can. Heh.

As for Law? Well, I ended up only looking up half the words because I got too sleepy to concentrate.
