10/14/2009 – Day 53 – American Food

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.

09/05/2009 – Day 14 – Sleeping in

As usual, my sleep schedule is a little messed up. OK, very messed up. Late nights, early mornings, and of course, sleepy weekends. True to form, I snoozed into the early afternoon, waking up at 1:00 PM. Telling myself to study and do homework apparently doesn’t work. I ended up talking to Fanny on the phone for a few hours. I really wish I could see her in person =(

A lazy dinner ended a lazy day. I went out with Jessie, Winnie, Mike, and some other people and ate at Yongheking. I had some spicy chicken with rice dish. The minced pork I had on the first night was better. Mike made a mess of the place, spilling soup everywhere. That was the laugh of the day. On the way back to the apartments, I stopped by Quik and bought this really yummy popsicle. I wonder if I can buy a box of it anywhere.
