10/2: First day of exercise

Today I got up early to get authentic Taiwanese breakfast so I was dead tired after we got back. I just went over the paper with my professor and then went back to my room and slept through lunch. Then I went to class. I wasn't sure if I wanted to take Process Control, but I think it will be a good idea. I think I will be too overwhelmed otherwise in the Spring. Teachers here really like to take the first 3hr class to discuss the meaning of the title of the class. I can't believe it...it's kinda irritating and really boring. But I guess it's nice they want you to understand. Then I continued trying to catch up in Kinetics, then looked through pictures of Shanghai from Stephen. Then went to dinner with Paul, Jack, and Tao under the dorms. The whole time Tao was pushing Jack and Paul to speak to me. Jack was ok with it but Paul was really embarrassed. I feel bad for him, and it makes me embarrassed to talk to him. But he promised that tomorrow he would talk to me, lol. Then went back to room for a little and read Harry Potter, then went to the library. On the way I saw some international students at Artist Cafe so I stopped to hang out with them. Then wen to library and on the way back saw them playing tennis so stopped again. Chris had gone running so I went and got changed and went running with him on the track, 5 laps! Yay. Then played tennis with Joe which was funny because I sucked, well no one was very good anyway.
