Really?

I am a little sad that I won't be going to Montreal with David before I leave for China. My passport is still in the visa backlog and won't get back to me in time for our July vacation. I guess there is still another chance that I can go during Thanksgiving vacation, but it won't be the same. For now I'll try not to think about how disappointed David will be.

Other than that, things have been decent. We went to Judie's restaurant last Friday and ate for free, since Professor Ishii gave Mingzi his leftover "student entertainment funds." I had a guacamole sandwich (chicken, bacon, lettuce, mayo, and guacamole) and shared a Bomba dessert with David (a white chocolate shell filled with three different types of sherbet.) Saturday was interesting too--after working two hours at the Political Science office alphabetizing books, I went to move wood at Andy's house. Logs can be incredibly heavy after two hours, but since I got paid $35, it was worth it. Still, I learned that I probably never want to stack wood again. My shoulder hurt for two days after!

Sunday I stayed at David's house and was incredibly unproductive. It wasn't David's fault--mostly mine, since I kept on getting distracted, was unmotivated to work, and napped for 3 1/2 hours straight. Near the evening I started getting my end-of-weekend blues and shed a few tears over why my parents couldn't like David, but I think now that I'm in the thick of Monday's work it's a little better. Sort of.
