9/27: 1st Chinese Class

Today I had class at 9am and it was Advanced Kinetics. Tao told me we had to give introductions of ourselves in English. When I got to class everyone had typed up essays and I had nothing written at all. So I just wrote some things down so it looked like I had prepared. We got our textbooks today too. Two NEW txtbks cost $1750 ($60 US). I looked them up online and in US, they would be sold for total $260!!! I can't believe it. Introductions were kinda funny. He called me up to do it first, which sucked only cuz I planned to see what other people said. Apparently I speak english too fast for them, cuz Tao didn't understand anything I said. Then there was a group meeting and I almost fell asleep again, but I kinda learned what a MOSFET is (semiconductor type) and then went over another paper with the professor. Then later went to Chinese class with Adeline. SO boring. Unbelievably boring. And it ended at 8:30 so i was starving. We were going to go to the fried rice place but it was closed so we saw a restaurant past it and went in. The lady was really nice and the food was really good. We got free iced tea and soup. We ordered this rice dish that had meat and then cheese and then baked. Real good, and it was fun having dinner with adeline, johnny and mark. Then came back and thats all!
