Today I had sweet and sour chicken with a scoop of white rice for lunch.

Right now I'm in the process of getting my Chinese name put into an application online. We'll see if it works out.

In a little while I'm going to look at the apartment. I'm trying to be hopeful but not overeager and realistic.

My class wants to go out partying tomorrow night for Halloween. Who knew they celebrate in China? I haven't decided if I'll go or not. They want me to, but I just don't know if it is a good idea. If I do go, I won't stay out late. I want to be a well-rested student if I can't be the best in the class.

My roommate is at the doctor's office for his knee. It would appear that he messed it up doing the 10K and didn't realize it until recently. So that's that.

I can think of a few things I'd like to buy, but who knows if they even sell stuff in China in my size? Not that I'm enormous, but I don't want to spend a day looking all for naught.

Today two girls were staring at me as they walked past, and I realized it and looked back at them, and they looked away at the same time. It was funny as I watched them try to seem like they weren't looking.
