Today was my long day of classes: start at 9am, end at 8:20pm.

I wound up getting to the university early and decided to relax for a bit after getting a French pastry. I’ve noticed a lot of French pastry food stores lately, including at McDonald’s. I thought that was interesting considering there was no French occupation of Hong Kong (not to my knowledge anyway).

The classes I had were food chemistry (tutorial, then lecture), Chinese, and then my environmental class, with large breaks in between classes. During my first break, I had a very satisfying lunch at the canteen for only $25! It included a bowl of rice and two sides, as well as a drink.

During my second break (that is, between Chinese and environmental), I met up with a friend and helped him out with some bank-related issues, and then went to the gym in hopes that I could get involved as well. What happened is another story… Afterwards, I grabbed dinner and talked about various topics, including past experiences with work and church-related matters. It was really great getting to catch up with him.

After my classes were finished, I headed back home to get some rest and unwind. The wind is really something at night. I sometimes cannot decide when to keep the windows open and when to close them… keeping them open would mean loud noise but would save electricity, while closing them will do the opposite.
