for I have promises to keep
Well I am going to shower and sleep in a few minutes. All I can say right now is school has been really busy... this weekend is a 4-day weekend featuring Moon Festival (& therefore gorging on moon cakes) so I'll have time to blog properly. I've just been going to school & studying Chinese a bit.
I joined another choir, that being my school's choir. They are a big choir, and in the warmup it was loud--loud like almost hurt your ears loud. Ah, the sweetness of a true big choir. Anyway, class has been fun, mostly. There have been some problems among the exchange students; however, they may be resolved soon. As to keeping promises/taking care of business, I bought postcards today for the people who were interested. Also, Alleah I believe wanted to see Scott & Claire. Well they're both here:
[From left to right, starting at the top: Fabio, Anna, Claire, Kyle, Kaylee, Yu-Gyeong, Célia, Yoshiteru, Me, Scott, Kenta, Laura, Noemie, Wil, Michael, Raphael, Alex, Lisa, Etienne, Claire]
BTW the quote is from a journal I was considering buying. I went with another one, because I only want it for jotting down stuff people tell me in Chinese (otherwise I forget like right away). Keep posting, and I shall endeavour to have something more, exciting to say come the weekend. In the meantime, post a comment or whatever.

Cool Picture. It looks really nice there. The caption thing to your picture is kind of confusing (not all that straight of lines and all). Peace
I like how I know where you got your title from; makes me feel smart. what exactly is a "moon cake"?
Finally! I was beginning to think you had gone the way of Laura, neglecting your poor readers! I protest on their behalf. Anyways, exactly which ones are the ones you hang out with all the time? I'm not quite sure...
Well I don't particularly "hang out" with anyone a lot of the time; however, Scott & I often study together. There's actually not all that much time or permission for hanging out, per se.
There are different kinds of moon cakes, but I've only had one. They're a little bigger than golf balls... the outside is a dryish kind of bread... it's a little greasy but I think egg-based and sometimes it flakes. Inside that is a layer of sweetish red bean stuff. Then in the middle is a cooked egg yolk. Also on top are a few seeds, maybe sesame or poppy or something; they're black (the seeds).
sounds weird. although Asian food doesn't always seem appetizing. after all, people pay good money to put raw fish guts in their mouth.
Speaking of guts, I saw cow stomach for sale at the supermarket yesterday. My mother said it was delicious; however, we didn't buy any. We *did* get a realy big watermelon which I can only lift with two hands. but that's beside the point
gross. but it sounds KIND of like a "bean ball" which is this pastry stuff with either red bean or black bean mashed in the middle...soooo GOOD
I dunno about that, Amay, I guess I'll have to try it to be sure...
Kevin-thank you for writing. Gma and Gpa sending their hellos. Loved your haircut. We are now at Berwick and are going to read the rest of your blogs(with some editing by M.)Love. Gma and Gmp hope that things turn out better for you than even you wished. How bout one of those postcards??

I have 4 complete brad-style tracks (no bass) to send. in good essay writing format, I shall restate the topic sentence. come on msn more.
sincerely, brad
