So, back to Hong Kong. I have some work due next week, so this weekend will mostly be occupied doing that. I got some more music from the library, so now I'm over 9,400 songs (putting that in perspective, I could listen to music 24 hours a day for the entire month of February and never hear the same song twice). The new music is all classical music.
This week on campus, there were graduation ceremonies. Here, they apparently take after the British, as the students who graduated last May do not have a graduation ceremony until now. This is a little different, but no big deal. It became a big deal, however, when they decided to do this three-day ceremony in the middle of the atrium in the middle of the school. Mind you, you cannot get anywhere on campus (seriously, anywhere) without going through the atrium. This made it exceedingly complicated and frustrating to try and navigate to various classes. It was also extremely crowded. It was very annoying. It's fine if you want to have the ceremony in November. It's also fine that you want to do it in the Atrium. It's not fine, however, to do so during the week while classes are going on. It's ridiculous.
Another little quirk about Hong Kong: no one picks up their own garbage. Say, for instance, you are out at a fast food restaurant. You eat, then you bus your own table. That is not the case here. Everyone leaves their trash on the table, and then it is someone's job to come around and pick it up. Maybe it has some communist overtones, as a company needs to employ an extra person just to pick up trash. Everyone can have a job then, I guess.
That's all for now. Hope all is well. I'm gonna go for a run now. Go Eagles.
