Today was the first day of classes, and boy did I feel like a deer in headlights sometimes. We had so much to do (so much to see) for class that I couldn’t even do it all the night before. Luckily I wasn’t alone, but we all realized what we are here for. Luckily I came out of class feeling pretty good about everything, but then came my hour with the tutor and that quickly went away.
Tonight though, I plan on joining a gym and getting dinner in a different part of the city, so I’ll still get to have some fun along with all of the homework.
What was kind of funny about all of this though is that my arrival to Suzhou coincides with the start of the rainy season, so I guess it’s the Rainey season here in Suzhou now. * It was so rainy here that within 5 minutes, my rain jacket was so thoroughly soaked that my shirt and my backpack, which were both under the jacket, got soaked as well. My books even got fairly wet.
Well, it’s time to get ready for the gym. I’ll see you all later.
*Yes I do realize this joke is terrible, but I’m going to milk it for all it’s worth.
