Monday week three

First day of training since the hospital adventure. Woke up, went to breakfast. Breakfast was great. The oatmeal never tasted so good. Went to morning practice and saw all my friends. they asked where i was and whart happened. i filled them in. Even people I didn't know came up to me. There was a rumor that i had food poisoning or a broken tooth. Today, training was fun. I was glad to be moving around again. i took it easy because im still on antibiotics but i still had fun. learned the first part of the second form in wing chun.


then at the second class we did conditining. hitting trees over a 1000 times, kicking each other, and banging forearms... It's great to be back!

lunch tasted amazing too! it was tofu, chicken, veggies, and rice! i've gone 4 days with no rice and I realized I was craving rice.

afternoon lesson was fun. we did baji and I was taught the first part of the second form. when i get to the 4th form I get to use the staff. cant wait.

Dinner was great as well. Saw Shawn who is leaving on Wednsday. He told me that he is selling a few books. I went by after dinner and saw he had a few mandarin phrase books. I bought one called the Berlitz Mandarin phrase book. Then I saw he had a water cooler. I asked if he was selling that because I buy lots of small water bottles at the store. I don't like drinking the tap water. He said it was and he buys the water tanks down at the school store for only 6 yuan. I have been buying small water bottles for 3 yuan. I would save so much money if i got his cooler. So i went and I got 100 yuan and made a deal with shawn for his cooler and brought it upstairs. sam was shocked with what I brought back. it is a big water cooler but it had HOT water too. You know what that means??? NO MORE WALKING DOWN 48 stairs to refill my water thermos every hour! WOOHOO! Plus the water is purified rather than heated tap water.


Then i showered up and when I went back to the room the radiators were turning on. i never would of guessed water flowing through pipes can make so much noise....creepy noise. After a while of listening to noises the room was warm. it felt great. I guess if they are turning on the radiators the weather will be getting real cold now. Master Gou told us it will be 2 degrees tomorrow so dress warm.

The weather was getting reallly cold. All day winds were blowing very strong and cold. it was suppose to snow today but I guess it wasnt cold enough. i hope the sun keeps the snow away for a few more weeks. I dont want to get cold and go back to the hospital.

Can't wait till tomorrows training.
