"Are you married?"

Today was a good day. I got up early and we went running. Its officially one month (to the day) until the race, so... It was a good start. Expect for the fact that China likes to leave manholes uncovered in the morning. Yeah, definitely pulled an elegant leap for the sake of my life. But other than that!

Was very productive in terms of work today. Yeah, its sad, I still have classwork to do. But Allie and I took a nice break to go to lunch. We find the cutest little place called ... something Pin Xiao something.. I'll look it up because if you are ever by Peking University's southern gate, its right there. It had the cleanliness I would expect of a western restaurant but the prices and delightful food that are definitely both Chinese.

After lunch, I kind of, uhn, passed out for a while but I really needed to so it was okay. Then I tackled some Rural Economics homework (so long as you stay on top of things, it doesn't seem like much work.

Around 6:00, Allie, Jin Wei and I headed over to WuDaoKou to set up for dinner. We were meeting a bunch of people who were getting off of their internships so we could do some western food (I HAD PANCAKES!) at Lush.

omg it was so good.

*drools*

Afterwards, I walked back with Rachel, Allie's roommate, and some guy who was going to ball room dancing asked her if she was married. I was conveniently dressed in scrubs so I deflected all attention (sweet). I think that Rachel just looks too nice. And she does, unwillingly, play into it. She can't help but have conversations with people. Poor thing.

And I learned today that I will be handling my little brother's college applications from Beijing. Yeah.

But now? Bed time!
