Know what I hate?

I hate roommates who are immature and unstable.

I hate roommates who stomp around and slam doors and snarl.

I hate roommates who put off all their work to the last minute, allow themselves to be intimidated by it (although, may be in this case, it is over her head but only because this ranting of her's has severely changed my assessment of her academic ability) and thus put it off even more.

I hate roommates who expect me to put up with it.

I loathe roommates who expect me to sympathize with them over this.

I abhor roommates who think that they have the right to affect my living environment so drastically because they can not deal with something as little as a 10 page research paper. Really. Grow up, you are in college now.

I do like the fact that knowing I have all of my papers done (and turned in) must irk her.

It is a small victory.


*preens*

As an addition, I am SO glad I was out with my hanyuke for most of the evening, hence I am only catching the tail end of this crap.

America, I love you!

So, just got back from America... And by that, I mean Allie and I spent the afternoon in Xingba -- Starbucks!!! It was like a mini-vacation. We have to write them to let them know how much we appreciated the experience.

It was spaced out like places in America and no one gawked at us... and we were even able to help them learn how to pronounce the new lattes (Gingerbread and Toffee Nut, both of which we ended up getting). One of the servers was wearing wings, which was interesting--clearly we were still in China, but it was a very realistic simulation of America.

Part of the greatness of the experience was that we got lost a billion different ways trying to get there. I'm so glad that we did not give up (we ended up asking people if they knew where the American Coffee House was. heh)

However, now it is time for some real studying--break neck studying. I'm not leaving my room type of studying.

Laoshi, I hope that you are fucking prepared to mark me at least a 90 on this chapter test.

No internet...

Duibuqi everyone--our internet has copped out.

As it is, I am across campus, at 9:34 pm, holed up in an office building, leeching their internet. Unfortunately, this building has guards and they will kick me out. Plus, I'm not feeling so hot--or rather, too hot (feverish) so my bed is looking pretty good.

In other news, I have come to the very important realization that... "wait... I am studying abroad in Beijing and I need to keep my GPA up to keep my scholarships... I don't think NaNo-extreme is a good idea".

So yes, for the time being, NaNo is on hold. I have a long plane ride back, maybe I'll do a CRAZY mini-nano then... Whoa. That would be wack. Hm....

Additional news: yours truly joined a soccer team (a we-only-speak-chinese soccer team), but I am currently on the prowl for a field hockey team. I've heard rumors that they do exist...

*sigh* sick.... *whine*....

HANNAH WILL YOU JUST COME ON LINE, ALREADY!!!!

Nano

Wow.

Nano is trippy.

Because, when I write really quickly, sometimes things come in chinese

Damn...

Look who died up in China

Sorry for the massive block of radio silence. Shit kind of hit the fan with Chinese class (I still only got a fucking 89 on my chapter test this week!). Even my fracking Laoshi has started using me as examples for... things like... nerd. I want to lay open his neck with my mechanical pencil.

Wrath.

Anyways. Good news! Looks like my research next semester will count as my Honors Capstone Thesis. Good to get that out of the way AND do chinese (ahem, China) at the same time.

Something's got to give. Things are going too well...

Oh, my neck went out, so I'm on a diet of oatmeal and whimpers.

But! The reason for this post!

NaNoness...
So, I am doing NaNo this year, despite getting off to a late start. I cranked out about 7,000 words this weekend alone, which was nice because now I am up to speed and intend on keeping it that way.

Because blogger sucks balls--I am lacks a lj-cut-type device, I will not be slapping my nano on this bitch because, lord, that would involved a crap load of scrolling.

So, anyone who want my nano is welcome to it; shoot me an email and I'll deliver unto you installments. However, I do ask for something in return. I do not need bait, cheerleadering or threats (this realization is courtesy of Lee-lee). I am a disciplined soul and will write as I should. What I would like, however, is little helpful tid bits. I am writing very quickly so very little of it is good. What I would like from readers is to tell me little things that I could manageably improve on while I write quickly.

Something as simple as, "yo, you need so much more description it aint funny," or "harden up so-and-so, I don't get what they are about yet". This is also probably help jack up my word count, yo.

Alright -- off to Chinese homework, BoB and then NaNo.

Loves!

What up, bitch!

(read all of this with a Gangsta!tone in mind)

Uh!

Yeah, so, I can write a 7 page report in 2 hours. What up now, bitches?

(..okay, so the paper is about acupuncture and science philosophy... not too gangsta, I guess. But I did think that my speed at it was rather good. I think that the only paper I've ever written faster was about pandas... and really--who can't write a paper about pandas quickly?)


[/gangsta]

Anyways - I really want to go out tonight because there will be Halloween craziness but I also want to push out as many papers so I have the month of Nov to NaNo and just study Chinese. And work with fungus... But really, that's nothing.

I just hope that my new job doesn't think it can cut into NaNo time. Worse comes to worse, I just wake up at 5 to get my hour of writing in.

Victory!

Got a job... Sweet!

Had a wonderful dinner. We went out with this Chinese couple to this chicken place; it was very good. And we played some Chinese table games. And we played truth or dare. I had to tell the waitress that I loved her. She said "thank you..."

Came back, had cookies and milk (out of a bag... both cookies and milk.. each had its own bag) for desert.

Went back to my room, watched Gossip Girl with my roommates *mhhhrrrr*

Took a shower, and wrote some of my Science paper!

woot. I would really like to get at least a draft of my science paper out this weekend. It only needs to be 8 pages and it's about acupuncture. It shouldn't be that hard. And its not really due to the middle of December, so I'm not concerned. But all the same. It would be nice to have it done.
