So tomorrow we have our midterm. Which means that last night we watched Nip/Tuck and today I will be studying/sleeping/shopping. Those things not in the right order, by the way.
After tomorrow's midterm, we (18 of us) will be leaving to go to Qingdao, home of Qingdao beer. Olympic sailing also took place in Qingdao...but I'm going for the beer.
OK, Rewind:
At IES we have our 2 week long trip, then 2 long weekends as well. The first long weekend, they pay for our travel costs and plan our trips(that is this weekend). We had 5 places to choose from ranging from cool (Qingdao) to awful (everything else). So why didn't everyone sign up to go to Qingdao, you might ask?
Well - everyone wanted to go to Qingdao, and the intelligent way to go about choosing who would go would've been a lottery. But of course IES isn't that logical, so what they do instead is post 5 sign up sheets and have people literally run down the hall when classes let out, and sign their names. Think of it like running of the bulls, but in a more narrow hall and the bulls are your classmates.
Moral of the story: I run fast.
So I will be gone, from Thusrday evening to Monday morning, hopefully drinking lots and lots of beer.

P.S. Yes, I still have your DVDs somewhere in my house.
oh man! thats what i had to do to go to PingYao (Qingdao wasnt an option) thankfully... my class was also close to the door at the end of the hall.
Did IES pay for all your beer as part of the travel costs?
