It's been such an eventful weekend I have no idea how to start. Basically, I have no time to do any work at all. Ahem.

Yesterday was Mid-Autumn Festival and the SSA organised a little party for us to get together, eat mooncakes, drink tea and basically do nothing. It was ok, though I didn't like to eat mooncakes, I didn't drink any of the tea. I wasn't really in the mood for such a social event, but I just felt like I was obliged to go. I didn't really get to know a lot more people than I already know. But it was still fun, just standing around, talking about nothing in particular, knowing that everyone there is bonded in a certain way.

The real party started only after the MAF party though. A few of us went to a club down Green Street (the main street cutting across campus). I was obviously the freshie there, not knowing what drinks to order, not knowing where to put my hands when I dance. Basically I feel like a kid again. But it turns out alcohol can really make someone let loose. After about a glass of dunno-what drink, I actually began to feel less self-conscious and started to enjoy myself. Not a particularly exciting experience, but it was an eye-opener.

Then today, I experienced my first American football match. I really still don't quite understand the game, but I think I can still follow the game. It's quite an experience too. And by the way, UIUC lost. Ahem, but that's not because of me.

And basically I'm too tired now to think about anything other than how tantalising the bed is. Sigh. But I need to do work...need to...erm...but...erm...zzzzzzzz
