Friday at Friday's

Today signified the end of another week. The week went well. It had it's up and downs. All I can say is thank goodness it is Friday ... speaking of which, tonight 代老师,刘老师,泰立,李迈轲,魏立德 and I went to T.G.I.F's for dinner. We could not help but ask the waitress about her "flare" each time she came by. By the way, here is the best burger I have eaten in China so far.

Besides going to 星期五餐厅, today was fun because our third classmate in our listening class finally came back. She missed the first four days of this week because of work and illness. She came back just in time to participate in a little in-class performance where I was an unreasonable kid who did not want to do anything but play games online. She played the role of my teacher and my other classmate was my father. It turned out to be hilarious even though we took the performance in a direction the teacher did not expect. The result was that my father and I criticized my teacher for being so strict and that when my computer company made me millionaire she could criticize me again when I rolled up to school in my nice new BMW.

After classes I decided to kill a little time by skateboarding. I went to a little spot that I like to skateboard at. I had not skated for very long until I noticed a student walking by. Each time I would do a trick she would stop to watch. After she continued on I noticed that she hesitated and turned around and kept watching me. Anyways, I decided to talk to her because she was at least somewhat interested in my skateboarding. I talked to her for a few minutes about nothing in general. After I skated for a little bit longer I decided to head home, so my new friend Wendy and I chatted for a little longer and then parted ways. I was really glad that I met her, this is because every morning when I skateboard to class it seems like people don't like my skateboard too much, but this afternoon Wendy told me that she thought skateboarding was cool. Even though I don't need people here to accept my skateboarding it is always nice to find some support. Also these kinds of situations make me even happier at the fact that I decided to bring my skateboard to China. It has already helped me make a few friends. I wish Seattle was like this.
