Take that China!
I have finally found a way to get around the whole not being able to see people's blogs: Queen's Webproxy! Woo hoo, that pain-in-the-ass exambank thing actually comes in handy!! Well, I had a fun filled day of the Shanghai Star (where I spent the entire time doing absolutely nothing again - they want me to go to these story meetings that are ALL in Mandarin - so I get nothing out of them) then my first group language class, we did a kind of alphabet. I guess you have to speak Mandarin to know what I'm talking about. THEN, we had our first Fudan-Queen's class with our buddies on "Shanghai & Globalization" where the professor proceeded to talk about ethical relationships as they relate to the patriarchal system of China. Men control children, Husbands control wives ... needless to say I had a rough time. Three of the girls are in the women's studies department and we had a nice little de-stress together after class where we tried to figure out if our professor was a bit of a sexist jerk, he was being historical (which he wasn't) or whether he was just unable to communicate it in a way that was less awkward. Whatever the reason, it was wierd, and I don't know how I'm going to do in this class. I guess for the marks I'll just answer how I should answer, but there's going to be a lot of questioning. Yikes!Oh, and I got lost with Melissa today on our bikes. We ended up in an under-pass, having to throw our bikes over a median so we didn't end up on the highway, couldn't get into the university campus, and finally found the main gate, where we found our padestrian friends (who had left us 15 minutes earlier because we thought we'd be "faster) who couldn't understand how they beat us to the main gate. I'm special.
Well, I'm going to cuddle up and watch some DVD's, I got season 1 of the L-word, we'll see how that goes. I have every episode of buffy - ever, and a few movies. I can't decide! AND, I'm going to the fake market tomorrow!! Woo hoo!! Burburry for everyone!
Goodnight!
Oh, love this too! Ahh Queen's!
