I did pretty not-terribly on the test this morning. Subsequently I ate lunch, went to Starbucks, and then went and hung out with a crew of Chinese kids all evening. These guys are so much fun. Their English names are hilarious, and it's part of why I like them so much. It would be much less fun hanging out with guys named Ted and Jack and Steve.

Tomorrow, I'm planning on going to the Temple of Heaven, which in Chinese is Tian Tan. I'll be like my roommate for a moment and give you the Chinese for it: 天坛. Don't you feel smarter?

I played with this photo not too long ago (well, this one and a few others, actually), and I really like the way it came out. So here's a picture from Phuket, Thailand.



Happy weekend!
