8-10:30 Health Class was quite pointless today. Ms. Seawell reviewed various ways that we could express our feelings & how to act in different situations. We performed improv skits for a few hypothetical situations which was supposed to help us understand communication better. We also played a communication game which was supposed to show how much talking is necessary and essential for human existence. I played football with William during break.
10:30-12 Took the 29 & 8x with Hugh to Chinatown. I've known Hugh since we were about 9 or 10 years old so I was quite ebullient to see him again. We usually hang out once a semester. I always find pleasure talking to him because I can basically talk to him about anything. If i ever talk about table tennis, he understands what I am trying to say, and is probably one out of the few table tennis friends that I am that close to, which is very nice. Every time we talk about the "good old days" at Masaaki's club & how everyone and we changed so much. I realized a while ago that I have probably a handful of friends who I grew up with & still talk to on a regular basis whom I've known for quite a while, which is something that I am very thankful for.
12-2 We probably spent an hour and a half trying to find a restraunt where we could eat at in Chinatown. One of the problems was that we could not find a place where we could sit down and eat, as many of the Chinese restraunts were take out. After a while we got quite hungry and decided to eat at "Broadway Dim Sum & Cafe". Hugh and I both bought dim sum. It was quite funny because the dim sum lady got quite frustrated with me. I said i want 2 siu mai and 2 shrimp dumplings, but she gave me 2 orders of both. It ended up to be 7 dollares and a big heap of food. I finally noticed that it was not what I ordered and the lately became quite frustrated with me because she had to place to food back in the container. We ate there than walked around Chinatown and bought ice cream and drinks from Walgreen's.
2-3 Took the 8x to Downtown and visited Sephora, where I tried on makeup, visited the Apple Store, where we played with the IPad, and watched some of the street dancers for about five minutes. While we were walking near Westfield, we heard a man screaming "FREE DR.PEPPER" and we looked around and saw a Dr.Pepper cart, which was, not to my surprise giving out free Dr.Pepper's as a promotion. Both Hugh and I took Dr.Pepper Cherry flavor and left. I took the 8x back home.
3-4 Gardened in my back yard. I actually got quite a lot done because I was able to take the weeds out near my rosebushes, and also cut down the dead tree.
4-5 Watched one of my favorite daytime TV shows: the Ellen Show. I actually thought that today's show was probably one of the weaker one's that I've seen.
5-7 Took a nap.
All in all, today was quite pleasant, and I definitely enjoyed myself. I feel as though spending times with friends and family most of the time destresses me and I realized that I am really a people person. I like to be around people, which I hope is a good thing, but I know that I sometimes have to be more independent. As for now, hopefully the rest of my summer will be interesting enough to blog about!
