It's currently 50 degrees and raining. Serves me right for bragging about the weather. Valentine's Day ended up being pretty chill. I forgot what we did during the day (probably went out to eat somewhere), but at night we ended up going to another club (Muse something, not the same as the first one). The place looked amazing, but there was way too many people for it to be manageable. Still a good night though.

Yesterday was also a good time. G, S times 2, and I checked out this sweet restaurant behind the back gate of our school. It was a Western Chinese Muslim restaurant. As the menu did not have pictures, and none of us spoke Chinese, we ended up just pointing at 4 random dishes. I think we got some tomato noodles with vegetables, a beef tomato and rice dish, eggplant vegetables and rice, and beef eggs rice in a brown sauce. They all ended up being excellent. It was $5 for the four of us.

Why? Because this song is excellent. So was the other night. A bunch of us ended up going out to this club, Muse II. I told myself "no way will I be dancing on those tables. Fools." One guess as to what I ended up doing...

A bunch of us ladies should be going out tonight (we're leaving the guys behind this time). Maybe the Shelter? Maybe somewhere else. As long as there is no cover. I'm cheap. I realize. I'll be spending the $15 I will be saving on a massage. Happy Valentine's Day to me <3

Update on the tooth situation: September's filling was too close to the nerve, so I will be getting root canal in the next week. Dental surgery in China.. excellent!

But yeah, that's my life at the moment. Happy Valentine's Day to all of you back in the states <3

first week in Shanghai

While you've all been busy doing your homework/freezing your pants off, I have...

-caught a cab in Shanghai rush hour

-feasted on duck skin (Beijing kaoya!)

-crossed major intersections without being hit by a mass of bicycles/mo-peds/trucks/old chinese ladies

-kept it real/kicked it up with the rest of NYU Shanghai at Muse

-ate the most amazing sichuan food, and paid $1 for it

-fell in love with broccoli (?)

-took a cooking lesson from a master chef

Don't get jealous of my life just yet... I do have to the dentist in a bit. I just have to change into my t-shirt first.
