internship report

i'm not finished my internship report. i wish i was finished my internship report. being in another country and with a new semester starting tomorrow, i have no motivation to do it. i know i'll be happy once it's done and handed in. it has occured to me that my feelings about this are much like my feelings about showering in the dorm....every morning i spend a ridiculous amount of time dilly-dallying around, avoiding the shared bathrooms, but then, once it's all over, i'm so happy. boo.
the two italian exchange students stopped by my room at midnight last night - i was sleeping. i answered the door with an awesome afro. not a great way to make new friends... we're hopefully going to meet again for lunch today, at which point i will be more alert and sporting a tamer do.
went running on the track yesterday morning... to be more accurate i should say that we staggered around the track a couple of times before collapsing in the bleachers to pound water and complain about the heat. i have never been so sweaty in my life. i felt like i had been swimming. it DID make my shower more exciting!

dennis, mia and i hit our favorite coffee shop at shatin for breakfast yesterday and i discovered that they seel $8 lamingtons! what a fantastic second breakfast!!! after than, dennis and i decided that our last real free day before school was a good day to hit another island... we chose lamma. by the time we got to the ferry at central it was already 2pm, so the walk around the island was not too appealing. we chose to go over strictly for the seafood. sok kwu wan is a little fishing town with a row of sketchy looking restaurants right on the water. you can choose your seafood from the giant tanks, or pick dishes from the menu. it seemed like the perfect venue to pick up a stomach bug, so we went with the biggest restaurant with the most foreigners already eating. i'm only so adventurous with seafood.... but, over 12 hours later, i feel great! we ate squid, clams, scallops and some really ugly prawn type things. sooo good! i didn't get on the beer train, cause i was afraid of the combination of seafood, beer and ferry ride.
i can't wait to go back, hit the beaches, walk across the island and finish the day off with a lobster as big as my head!!!
i spent last night in my room getting ready for class tomorrow andgenerally lazing around. all of us exchange/foreign students are have the same experience in the dorms - we are invisible... i smile and say hello to my neighbours when i'm inthe hallways and get zero response. it's strange. i'm like the floor leper.
ooh! just got a call from mei's best friend. she's from guanzhou and is doing her master of law at cuhk. we're going to meet up tomorrow afternoon. yay!
