Dinner with 兆凯 and Luke
Today I got Korean BBQ with Luke and Zhaokai, so delicious! It's always great seeing 故人 (old friends). We caught up with what's going on in our lives recently and enjoyed our meal and then had some nice fruit smoothies/hot chocolate. Zhaokai is just so fashionable now!

2 things
(It is also 11:37 pm....this thing never gets the time right)
1.) I got third place in a speech competition last Thursday. Wooo. I competed in the Beginnner/Intermediate level and performed 逗你玩儿 with my friend Yoshi. Here is a link to the performance (not mine)
2.) Today has been a kind of frustrating day. It's just one of those days where it seems like I'm never going to learn this language and be able to communicate well, which is one of the most frustrating things ever. It's when you think things are going well and then you can't communicate with anyone. For example: Today I found a new dumpling place by the subway station and I wanted to order some jiaozi. I asked him for what I thought meant 4 kuai's worth. Then he was like 4 fenr which is like 4 parts/portions (which is ambigious). Then he was like for 4 people?! and I was like no no no, for one person. I ended up getting spinach/veggie ones when I originally said pork dumplings T_T. And in the end I got it da bao (take out). They were so delicious and only 10 kuai. Definitely going back. However my day was kind of full of fail within class and without and I just wasn't getting anything right today. GAH. I ended up going to BLCU after class and buying a book on grammar that I'm going to work through everyday to get better at grammar. Especially because I suck. Boo.
peace out girl scouts.
