School, misc.

School started last Wednesday. My teacher is great, a very nice guy. My class is pretty diverse - a guy and a girl from Japan, an American guy from...Milwaukee, a Turkish girl, a French guy, a south Korean guy, and an Indonesian guy. I'm really enjoying studying Chinese here. The two hours of class each day just fly by. I've been kind of lazy, so I haven't really participated in anything yet, but they've got a good deal of extracurricular activities. I still haven't gotten out of the city yet, maybe next weekend. My task today is to buy a cellphone, with a prepaid plan. Luckily I've got someone who knows the ropes to go with me.
