We've had our second and third days of classes now and it's definitely exponentially increased in difficulty but through thousands of dialogues we're getting through.
After our second day of class we went to Cindy's grandmother's house who is like the poster Asian grandma. She hugged us all immediately, showered us in candy, shouted every English word she knew at us, laughed when she had no clue what we were saying, and took like 10 thousands pictures with us. The best thing she did was by far when Jane walked in the door and Cindy's grandmother thought she was Cindy.
I made my first bargain today--a North Face jacket specifically for Northwestern--for half the initial price. I think I still paid too much but I'm not complaining.
The next day we went to the Pearl Market which was sort of like the Columbia Mall except everyone sells the same exact things--pearl necklaces, peark bracelets, and pearl rings, and everyone is Asian. Cindy's mom did know someone working there so we didn't get ripped off.
Unfortunately Tai Chi was canceled together but we'll have it Thursday.

boo!
yeah, zach, that's right, it's me. i'm "working from home" today and by that, i mean i'm registering for CMU classes and going to the doctor's and teaching piano and reading, while having my gmail up so that it looks like i'm working. i'm such a terrible person.
anyway, i'm loving this blog and the oh-so-clever title. i feel like that was cindy's doing because she's clever-er than you. kidding. but this is "hey" for cindy because we will both be tartans and i still don't what that is.
china sounds amazing & i love the funny stories. especially the part where cindy's grandmother thought jane was cindy. hi to jane too. we are syti-drama-partners-in-crime now. although the syti seniors have drifted for the most party.
ok, i should get back to looking like i'm actually doing something. i hope everyone is well & i miss you!
