I am on the facebook and you know you aren’t friends with someone till you’re facebook friends, so add me, darlings(:

I sounded rather morose in my last entry. I was a little. Partings are never nice with anyone whose company you enjoy so.

Burnt the weekend doing things that were not work-related. Friday I was groggy from having not slept AT ALL the night before. After the morning class, and thankfully the only class for the day, I got mired in conversation after conversation. It was crazy.

Saturday morning, I decided that I’d had just about enough of talking and decided to take a long walk all by myself. I got an excellent cappucino from The Educated Burgher (haha!) just outside the residential college where I’m at. It’s so good! Then I walked to Family Dollar and Staples, which are located in what the Yalies call “the bad area”. I’m tickled by how there are bad areas in the States. It’s so black and white! Literally. I also went into other stores to pick up gifts for birthdays that are coming up. That was my lovely morning work. In the hot afternoon, I headed to the Music Library in the Sterling Memorial Library with my roommate and Hui. I listened to the Beatles, Miles Davis and several classical pieces I like. I was supposed to finish a substantial amount of work, but that did not happen. Company is not good for studying. After an overstretched dinner, a few of us headed to Ciao Bella for gelato, where I had Strawberry Chardonnay and White Pistachio. Unbelievably yummy. Dessert was taken with jokes involving Hellen Keller and dead babies and a genre of humour called anti-jokesO_O Strange what people find funny. After that, I went to Gourmet Heaven for sushi and yet another drawn-out conversation with the most effervescent English girl.

I woke up early on Sunday to run Eastrok, which is kinda like MacRitchie. One hour! With Chelsea. I feel so toned now HA. Breakfast out at Au Bon Pain, a have-it-all cafe. I returned there for lunch with my roommate because we were/are so sick of dining hall food. I’m in love with chicken noodle soup. After doing my laundry, I headed out for a spin with Hui and her daddy. That was nice. It felt good to be out and far away from where we were living. We indulged in a spot of shopping. Shopping’s always fun. More talking in the evening, when a few of us found ourselves in the dining hall for the air-conditioning, trying to finish some work. There’s so much talking going on!

I am having a motherawful headache now and should be sleeping, so I off I go. Too little sleep and too much caffeine do not make a healthy girl.

I’ve been having a whale of a time(:
