Remember how I was just complaining about how the temperature dipped to 8 degrees and I was freezing to death?
Well, the Ithacan weather lived up to its name (ie. erratic) and today it's 35 degrees. HAHA. That's even worse than Singapore and I'm sitting here at my desk, without a fan, not knowing whether to open the windows and get cooked in the warm breeze or keep the windows closed and suffocate in the relative coolness. (It's really just relative - it is by no means cool in here.)
Edit: And it remained scorching until suddenly in the middle of dinner, it started POURING so hard with lightning and thunder and billowing winds and swirling sheets of rain and all that jazz, that it reminded me very much of the crazy snowstorms in Korea only that it was rain instead of snow, and we were so shocked at the sight that the friendly waiter came back to ask us what we wanted about 5 times and also to tell us that in all his 4 years of being here he had never seen such a storm. Which ended within the next few minutes, actually. And today, the next morning, is nice and cool but kind of overcast. Hahaha. End weather report.
So, lessons began on Thursday and I have 2 assignments due on Monday. I'm pretty much terrified because I really have to study CONSISTENTLY now and the whole chionging at the end of the year thing isn't going to work here. This semester I'm taking micro-economics, business computing (as in, computers and technology), managerial communications (with the most reputed prof around, if you get a C in his class it's no surprise, omg my GPA help), organisational behaviour and interpersonal skills, human development, dean's distinguished lecture series (business attire on Fridays!), and PE (of all things, whitewater kayaking HAHA yes I know it's funny and so intense, everybody please keep me in your prayers I think I might drown otherwise).
Ok I meant to put up photos today but only got around to editing a few and I have to go in a jiffy, so here they are:
(And notice how delighted GH is to see me go)
I'm doing Tubby's trademark pose, ask him to show you.
What Nat and I did in the EIGHTEEN HOUR PLANE RIDE: eat (bad food), sleep (well not really for me), watch movies (I watched Paris Je T'aime, Blackadder, Shrek 3, Very Stupid Jap Show about boys synchro swimming, and Premonition), play games (I learnt French, and played too much tetris).
Beautiful view! And check out the pretty crystals!
We flew over the Artic!! So gorgeous!
Touchdown! So much luggage.
In the car, with Nat's supersized luggage wedged between us. We have greasey hair.
The next morning in the hotel bathroom.
(Fear not, that is just Evelyn and her morning hair.)
Um yeah, that's it. Hahaha. Gotta go!
(By the way can someone, anyone, let me know what my photos look like: too contrasted? Too saturated? Too dull? Too dark? Just right? I can't tell on my screen at all!!!)
