Sleep deprivation

It's Novemberrrrrr. Why does the weather still suck?!? A local told me this has been the hottest November in about 5 years. That's just my luck...the one semester I leave, Austin has beautiful weather, and Hong Kong has awful weather.

I'm going to a Thanksgiving dinner in the city on Thursday. It undoubtedly will be disappointing and won't live up to my expectations of a Thanksgiving dinner, but it will have to suffice. No pecan pie, green bean casserole, or broccoli, rice, and cheese casserole. I will miss pecan pie the most. For the amount of money I'm spending on this meal, the restaurant can at least import some freakin' pecans. Geez.

I haven't been sleeping well at all, which seems to be a common problem amongst the exchange students. It is causing me a lot of distress. I lay in bed all night wondering why the heck I can't fall asleep. Then I start to ponder the day's activities and what could be the source of the problem: running too late at night, drinking iced tea in the evening, having a roommate, the hotness of the room, my hard bed... I still haven't figured it out, but it is aggravating.

No more traveling until after finals...I mean final, singular. I only have one. Yay for Barbara coming to visit! :) Shame on the rest of you for not.

J/K. One month...
