Today is Duan Wu Jie! For the uninitiated, this is when Chinese (like me) get to dig into delicious rice dumplings - which I fondly call Ba Chang (meat filled dumplings) .... yum!

And one thing to tell you guys is this: my primary six PE and maths teacher is doing Masters with me. Well, he's doing a Masters in English as a Second Language whereas I'm doing a Masters in Linguistics (MLing) but we still meet up in the three core courses! I feel so weird and odd ler.... I mean I go around calling him 'lao shi' (teacher) and here we are discussing what courses to drop and how to register for the library and where to go to do our project and meet such and such lecturer. Yeeeeeee...... I wonder how he feels?

I'm taking the following for this semester : General Linguistics (all over again, I did this back in my 1st year), Applied Linguistics, Research Methodology and Second Language Acquisition. I just need another two courses next semester and I can start working on the *acks* dissertation already, which, btw, required 11 copies and 2 electronic versions altogether.

Hiaks. Classes start on the 16th. I still have time to bum around. But its not that fun anymore...  ¶ 19:17
