10/19/2009 – Day 58 – Cooking!

My Chinese midterm went pretty well. Knowing exactly what needs to be said sure beats the heck out of the usual written tests. Even better, since everyone breezed through their presentations, we got out of class half-an-hour early! Makes up for that time when we stayed over 45 minutes!

At work, I continued learning Ruby on Rails (RoR) since my bosses still weren’t in. I still had trouble grasping the concepts behind RoR and Ruby. After work, I stopped by Fresh Mart and bought some groceries. For dinner, I attempted to make fried noodles with Chinese sausage, eggs, and peas, but it didn’t go that well. They tasted kind of bland, but at least I didn’t burn the place down. And I did manage to crack an egg without getting egg shells into the egg! Exciting!
