Donnerstag- when the supermarkets close at 9

Finished the morning class already. The prof looks like a chinese fortune teller, and he sounds like one too. Argh I feel like I'm taking a repeat course in TWC. Ridiculous.

And my TWC grades are simply appalling. I am completely disgusted with them. Schizer!

Went to Kronberg yesterday. It's located at the Appenzel Canton. I saw snow for the first time!! It was so cold on the mountain, especially with the helicopters whirring above us, and the wind slicing our cheeks bare. We had class in a lodge on the mountain, but it was still so cold inside. The lunch after that was just amaying. I live for free meals which they provide on trips like these, and in tea sessions with the Asia Term students. Seriously, ich habe grosser hunger! We had hot fried fish, bratwurst, risotto, mac and cheese, both cold and warm salads, meatloaf, ham... Oohyeah! Seur gut!

And then in the evening, Weiming and I went out for a run. I think everyone thought we were crazy cos it was drizzling, but I really needed to run the TWC blow out of my system. Bleah. The wind was pretty strong, and I think this is the only time I will ever take a run with a full track-suit. We felt so pro! Haha, ran for a good 50 minutes in the park and around Marktplatz before heading home. Gave the foundue dinner a miss (CHF16 is just too much to pay for some cheese and bread). So I ended up skipping dinner again. Owells, the weight is melting off me, that is one good thing about being here. Provided I don't do the binges, like I did yesterday. I ate a copious amount of chocolate and more than half a can of Pringles chips. Argh I hate grades and GPA. Bullocks!

The weather is supposed to be warmer now, the forecast said 20 degrees today.. But haha no way. I want to go to the playground I found with Kenneth the other day. The one on a hill, with wooden swings and treehouses. But nobody here wants to play there with me. I wish my Lulu was here, I know she would. And I miss Rox, knowing that she's about the only one who'd slack off in the useless classes I have here. Every single one of the Europeans in class lap up every word that rolls off the Prof's tongue, and copies page after page of notes. It's scary.. And when I walk about at Multergasse, and find shops that offer fantastic bargains, nobody wants to stop with me, and bear with my endless changing room antics- I miss Syl and Candice. And I miss insulting Zhong, and going RAAAAAA at poor Rogan Su. And when I get back to my little room, I miss bickering with my sister in the one we share. And I KNOW she is stealing my clothes back home, cos the first thing she said to me when I called home was 'Jie, your clothes rock!' Ahahaha

And did I mention that webmessenger is the greatest invention in the world?
