Before that, however, we need a recap on the weekend.
Thursday night was a lot of fun. We went to this party on-campus beforehand and had a few beers. Everyone was having a good time, but then they ran out of beer and ended the party. This was actually a good thing, however, as we were just about to leave for the show in Wan Chai. So we made our way over there, and we made it just in time to hear the entire set. It was good. My friend Eric rapped with them for one song. He did a good job.
Friday, I didn't do too much. I worked out and worked on some homework.
I spent all of Saturday in the library working on my paper. (Literally, 10am-8pm. A great day)
Sunday, I got to the library again at 10 and further worked on my paper. I watched the movie again to get some more ideas. I just have another page, which I am finishing now.
Last night, the British kids with whom we hang around planned a "Sunday Roast" dinner for all of us. So we made our way to Central to have dinner at the Yorkshire Pudding restaurant. I had roast beef, roasted potatoes, vegetables, and two little Yorkshire puddings (which I expected to be something like a white pudding - a sausage - but it was like a little puff pastry. Tasty nonetheless). Then I also got some dessert, a sticky toffee pudding (a slice of pie, basically). Both my dinner and dessert were delicious. I was very pleased to have such a nice feed on a Sunday.
After dinner we walked over to the IFC building (the one in the Dark Knight movie) as we heard that there was some public areas atop it which offered some incredible views. Unfortunately, that part wasn't open, but a sitting area on the fourth floor was. It was very nice. After that, we took the Star Ferry across to TST in order to see the Christmas lights decorating all the buildings (on the island side). Once we got to TST, we putzed around for a little, then we took the MTR back to campus. I got back to my room and went to bed. The only bad news of last night was that I forgot to bring my camera with me. I looked at it when I was changing and said I was going to bring it with me, but it slipped my mind. Hopefully my words paint enough of a picture for all of you (doubtful).
This morning, I had breakfast and then my last class of the semester. It's crazy that it's over, but I have a lot of work between O'Hare and myself at this point. I'm in the library now, and I will probably be here for a good while.
Good to hear the Bears finally won a game. And BC got a bowl (although it is the Emerald Bowl, and it's against USC - in California). Oh well. Take care. Good luck with finals Kelly and Sean.
Excuse you, I have finals before Sean and Kelly! Also, I have yet to see pictures of your campus like we talked about. That is all.
