"free" for the day

So today we had the day off from school.. yay!
I went to buy a new SIM card, and went to the Uni to eat lunch :).. yes i biked! I tried to do some homework but i procrastinated most of the time, i am so inefficient sometimes...
You know, there is something i really don't understand: Chinese students going to classes they are not registered in.... WHY???? in every other country we go to classes because we have to, because we need the credits... why do these people do the opposite!!!!... well one thing is for sure, they really want to learn. In fact yesterday i met this girl who is taking 13 courses in university.. YES 13!!!... Don’t these people have a life? wow... oh my...
Last Monday in my marketing class the professor asked how many people are registered for the class, and half the classes raised their hands, the other half are just 'viewers'... interesting...

Also, in another one of my classes [Chinese culture and management] the professor asked how many support communism.. and guess what?? half of the students in the class raised their hand, i was a little scared for a minute[specially because the other day i saw Nazi bracelets being sold at a store....]... i don't even know man...

Haha, Chinese people REALLY love their ex president Mao Zedong (a Chinese military and political leader who led the communist party of china until 1976) i mean it is ok if they really liked the president because he stopped the Chinese civil war, i mean.. why not?.... but it is a different thing when they idolize him.. i believe i have heard about him in most of my business courses.. they always like to quote him... honestly i think Chinese talk more about him than we talk about God.. its quite scary.... And he died more than 30 years ago, imagine it was 1977.... OH YES… and I forgot to mention, apparently most Chinese homes have a photo of him with flowers and all… like a ‘god’ ….


Anyways, i have to finish my Chinese homework.. i really need to concentrate here... specially when the professor makes us read these things that have a lot of characters we don’t know, i mean.. Honestly, is not like we can look them up in the dictionary... at least i can’t...
but yes i stop my talking....

Ps: I miss my lovely family and friends....
