china is boring

Ok so China's not really boring. It's just that nothing exciting happens during the week. Here's my schedule:

6:45-7:45: stumble out of bed and into the shower, get ready for class
8:00-12:00: class
2:00-4:00: class (on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday)
4:00-10:00: do homework, eat, Skype, Facebook, tweet, catch up on TV, occasionally go somewhere.


Basically the same as in the States, only in 中国. I guess something exciting happened last night...my electricity was cut off!

We're given 2 degrees of electricity every day (I don't know what a degree of electricity is, but we get 2 of them) and if we go over that amount, they shut off our power until we pay the 57 RMB to get it turned back on. So Tah He (my Korean roommate) and I were sitting at our desks when it was suddenly pitch black in our room (it was 10 PM). And we had to sleep in the freezing cold with no heat. I woke up wrapped up in my comforter and my snug (which explains why I dreamed I was in a box....anyway...).

I did find some more Chingrish for everyone:





















I thought at first this meant that Zeus wasn't allowed in China, but Anthony pointed the obvious out to me: China is so full of Muggles that the Firebolt isn't allowed (or maybe the Chinese Quidditch team thinks the advanced nature of the Firebolt gives other teams a disadvantage?).

So I was going to upload a picture of a cute Chinese baby to make this post more interesting, but it wouldn't load. Then I was going to upload a picture of dead chickens just to be gross. But it wouldn't load either. So I'm just gonna end with this: are you happy now Leigh Cummins??
