- As I got to school this morning, I received my history quiz back and saw that I scored a 98% which means I probably don't have a D anymore and my desire to jump out of the balcony has slightly decreased!
- The 6 page synthesis paper that was due on Monday is now due on the day we get back from October break, which is in about a week and a half from now!
- I now enabled the comment section of my blog to allow comments from EVERYONE which includes people who do not have google accounts so for those of you who have been struggling to leave a comment, struggle no more! You can now give me as many compliments as you want!
I'd just like to say thank you to those who gave me feedback on my sorrowful previous post. You all make me happy to be on planet earth. Okay now this is getting corny!! (But really I love you guys).
An interesting fact that I learned today: During Chinese class my teacher explained to us that Erfuzhong, the five stories underneath SYA, is one of the top high schools in Beijing. She said that virtually every single student attending Erfuzhong, which consists of around a thousand students, goes to a top tier university in China or elsewhere in the world. This was eye opening, as I had no idea that the giggly, shy students who I try to make conversation with on the soccer field and pass by going up and down the stairs are actually a mass of geniuses. Last year, there was a student who attended Erfuzhong who was the best student in all of Beijing. I'm not exactly sure what factors are considered in determining the best student in Beijing, but from what I've heard about the Chinese education system, this kid must've studied literally 24/7 or had an extra brain or was a prodigy or who knows what.

I've decided to spend the rest of my friday watching a few hours of Netflix for the first time in a month while eating the dark chocolate that I received in the mail (thanks Uncle Sean and Aunt Jean!!) and hopefully getting to bed at 9pm because I deserve to treat myself. Peace out.
You are one entertaining young lady. !!
