A Brief History of the Last Three Weeks in < 100w

Good luck reading...

I'm feeling a disjointed post today because I just finished hacking at my keyboard for a few hours, slaving over PDEng, Professional Development for Engineers, is a series of courses designed to teach engineering students at the University of Waterloo about ethics, professionalism, team work, conflict management, and project management, among other topics. Students are forced to pass five courses to finish their degree. The gruelling tasks they are required to perform to pass the courses include (in a particular order) conjuring multi-1000-word reports on desert material, failing every assignment due to an error in one of 50 marking categories, bulimically shedding rage while writing arguments outlining why the marker was incorrect(incompetent), ==>(w)rite/rage/rant/repeat==> force myself back to a story==> that unmentionable stuff.

Three weekends ago, I went to an electric devices shopping district Zhongguancun is craaaazy different than North American shopping places, but appears similar from the outside - will talk about in a later blog and bought a few things. One of which was I've watched 5 seasons of House in the last 2 weeks. 110 episodes of House. 82.5 hours of House. ~3.5 entire days of House. wow... I didn't think it was that much until now... weird how after watching ~10 episodes straight, the characters feel more real than you and the show's setting is more natural than your reality. enough introspection==> the T.V. show House. It's a pretty good show.

Two weekends ago, I went to stuff there is huge! pretty unnecessary too... pretty sure they didn't have tanks, so they probly didn't need 10m-tall doorways; wateva. It's impressive like the CN Tower... Posting + pics for this one to come up too==> the Forbidden City.

This weekend, I this is probably the best thing I've done yet. I'm so happy I did this. It was a long time coming, and will have a great impact on the future of all my posts...loud foreshadowing==> bought a soccer ball.

p.s. I was going to post the number of words in the title of the posts (with contractions as 1 word and T.V. as one word), but I felt the number was inappropriate for a subset of my readers and not really my style... my train of thought: "1,2,...,51,52,..., aaand, what!? as if..."
