Days are getting shorter, I swear. How come I never have time to do everything I want to do each day?

Had lunch with ZT at my place today: hotpot. Hotpot is the best thing EVER to have on a windy/rainy/snowy late-November day. Bought lots of Veggies, chicken, bread, sauce, and dumplings, turned on the slow cooker, and then we ate, for a long time.

This afternoon I was a judge in an English speech competition. Actually, this competition was a semi-final to see who would go to the real competition in Beijing. They were all elementary school students, and most of them told good stories. Far better than I could have told a story in French at their age.

After that I went back home and studied for a while. Later on I went to the arcade with Richard and played the Commando game we play whenever we want to forget about Zhengzhou for a while, then I bought some apples and returned home to study a bit more.

And that brings me to right now: I plan on reading for a little while, then I might give ZT a call, and then say hello to my electric blanket! Yeah!
