Crappy Weekend

Don't want to talk about it... But I will anyway.

Friday- Dropped my phone on one of the school buses. Didn't get it back till today. The weather has given my a runny nose.

Saturday- I went out with Saffron too get a puppy. She wanted one and I had no problem with sharing the apartment, so I agreed. "Puppy" as she insists on naming it is very cute, so I enjoy his company as well. This was the only good thing that happened that day. Why? My wallet and camera were both stolen. My wallet wasn't a big deal. It had my bank cards in it, but they can't be used without the PIN numbers. I've already gone to the bank about it too. My drivers license was in there, but it expires in February, so it was no big deal. I lost about 200 kuai, wich is annoying but not the end of the world. Losing my camera is what really pissed me off. It cost more than the money I had in my wallet, and it had some pictures from that day on it. Now I need to buy a new camera. It was Daphney's last night working at a hostel, so Saffron, Dane and I went there to eat and hang out with her a bit. It was fairly entertaining. My runny nose has developed into a bit of a cough, but no big deal.

Sunday- The origional plan on Saturday had been to go out and find a place to get massages. Instead we went to the Wild Goose Pagoda and took some pictures. They were really cool ones too. But my camera got stolen after we got Puppy. So later Sunday we went to a small place near Saras school. The massages were cheap. 40 kuai for (I'm assuming since I don't know much about massages) full body massage. It started with a basic neck massage. Then we layed down on padded tables, where they worked their way down from out necks to our feet. Then we turned over and they gout our arms, and out scalps. I walked out of there feeling slightly mangled, but very relaxed. By the end of the night, however my back felt like it had been repeatedly jabbed wit ha metal bar. Speaking of that night, we went to KTV (Karaoke). Dane, Saffron, me, and our Chinese tutors (Daphney and them are all friends) went to the 512 KTV neat Xiaozhai. KTV seems entertaining, but not my thing. For one, I'm a rappy singer. I know that doesn't count though. About a quarter of the songs were English. This is fine, but I don't listen to the type of music that gets made into karaoke. Third, they made me start off the night by singing Country Roads. I have no love for this song, but everyone in West Virginia (and apparently the entire world) freaking love it. The night ended with me sleepyand Saffron kinda pissed because nobody wanted to go clubbing. By now my cough is a problem, and I'm sure the singing didn't help.

Monday- This is the first time I've had to call in sick so far. I wouldn't use the word sick to describe my condition. "Incapacitaded" is much more appropriate. My congestion was horrible, and my back was killing me from that massage. Even now it's still a bit achey. My day consisted of somehow sleeping in till two in the afternoon, and watching movies from the couch. My cough is killing me, and it seems that Saffron is hacking a bit as well.

Teusday- Went to work today. I had 3 kuai. Enough money left for three bus rides. I used two. One there, and one back. During break I went with Lucky (a teacher) to the bank to get my new Bank card. It should get here on Teusday of next week, and I can't withdrawl any money till then. Summer called Eric about that, and I should be getting a small advance on my sallary tomorrow. Hopefully. I slept during the rest of the break. Something I'm usually unable to do. Mostly because I really hate taking naps. The rest of today has been alright. My cough isn't as bad as Monday, but it's still annoying. Saffron seems to be having it rough though. She's been in her room trying to sleep for almost an hour, but I hear her coughing almost every five minutes or so.

So yeah. Crappy weekend. Puppy was the only good thing that happened.
