to find your way, you must first get lost

and that is exactly what i did today in mong kok. i went there to buy a new phone battery because the karma gods made mine dysfunctional and after 35 USD, i now have an operable mobile.

i guess it's time for another week recap, if youre at all interested. even if youre not, im sure ill be interested to look back on this.

tuesday:
betty was in my strategy class for the day so we decided to go running right after class and it was my first time on the track! it was such an amazing view, we ran two quick miles, did some ab work and then headed in. i had a group meeting for ismt and then wrote up a proposal and had dinner with seb and betty at lg1.

wednesday:
i went to an english conversation workshop at the unibar and had free food and met some really cool people (both exchange and local) and we had so much fun playing texas hold 'em and chatting. betty and i studied hardcore for economics and then at midnight, called it a night.

thursday:
full day of class. or it should have been. my phone died and made it so i didnt wake up (no alarm!) and missed my first two classes. i headed up for lunch, went to logistics and strategy, then emailed zuji about my change of address (they send spring break tickets to minnesota...) and then headed off to my stupid quiz in east asian miracle that i did SO HORRIBLE in and i thought it was the easiest econ test ive ever taken. i guess im better at computational bitchass economics problems instead of easy questions in a multiple choice 25 question quiz. okay so im bitter. anyway after that i headed back to my room, quickly curled my hair and then headed out to brazilian bbq in tst which was pretty good and had cheap wine. it also had cheap beer which later had the effect of making rahul crazy. after that we headed to sugar and beat the line because of jake's genius bullshit talk!! love that kid. jeff, joe and his sis came over to say hi to us but didnt end up joing us. wasnt feeling it so i left with juliette at about 3 and stayed up til 6 on skype with mikey.
friday: celebrate rahuls birthday. we went to a
woke up a little bit late and then had lunch with the advisors from the u of m and they gave me EASTER EGGS!!! REESES!! (hong kong does not make or import reeses) then i slept all day (awesome productivity, i know) and then headed out to taco loco in soho for lisas bday. shes only 20! after that, we went to an african bar and met up with jeff and his posse. then his sister wasn't feeling it and went home and we headed over to lkf and hit up fong. it was a little too much on the main floor so jeff, kristen, joe and i went upstairs to have a beverage or two. joe bought me a beer (how nice) and we chatted it up before heading back home. joe and i had pillow talk (separate beds, kids) and it was a good night.



saturday:
i am so lazy. woke up at noon. went to lunch at diamond hill with kevin (awesome pasta) and then we had a thai dessert and checked out a pet expo. after that i rushed to yoga but to no avail as i was 5 minutes late. i was frantically running all over causeway bay to get there on time but apparently not fast enough. so that was a bummer and it really killed my day. until terence asked if i had watched lost yet, which i hadnt so he downloaded it and it was a super sad episode that revealed a couple of things!

sunday:
woke up at about noon (really i am a bum), sat around for a while, headed to causeway bay for hatha yoga with maurice (awesome) and he picked on me a little and made me smile (really he told me to smile) while i was in cobra pose with my hands off the mat. then after that exhilarating feeling, i had dinner at city!super and bought some tea (amazing) from there. went to mongkok for the new battery and discovered a computer repair center so my computer will NO LONGER be a spaceship!!! i headed back to my room and had some bread and cheese...someone stole some of my cheese though. theres a note on the fridge in the common room "i hope you get fucking poisoned from my french cheese. i will fucking kill you for eating my fucking cheese" so i guess the thief got two of us! after that i had a chat with betty and we did our laundry together, then i headed over to jakes to have some catch up chit chat, then up to my room to talk online, back down to jeff/jakes to chill with joe (we counted jeffs change in his cup=over 800 HKD so go steal it) and then back to my room to skype with mike and read my intl management case. good night. oh and im obsessed with the beijing mascots for the olympics!
