Hey November!

Hello November! You are so beautiful. It has been getting cold these days. I wonder whether Miss Snow is gonna come to visit us pretty soon.
Today I had "coffee" (at Starbucks, he had hot chocolate and I had tea. so I used " " for coffee) with Rob, who was one of 16 classmates from my science field trip class last summer. He read my blog one time and we talked a little bit about it today. Both of us reached agreement that there is not very many things to do here so that I don't know what I should write about. It seems like everyday sounds the same. Coffee shop, study, shop, home, etc...
HOWEVER!!!
Life is grand! Rob always says this and I do agree with that.
He is such a good friend of mine now since he interviewed me in September. To be honest, I guess I should feel privilaged...That should be my 4th or 5th time to get interviewed...as an international person..:P
We got to know each other a little bit. It does take time to know people and their stories. He always has good attitude of everything. He has a very nice family, sounds like. His daughter just graduated from pharmacy school with honor. She is a good example of this medical field. That motivates me a lot. Rob's wife works for CAT and knows a lot of Asian people. I am trying to convince Rob to take Chinese class for his second language class. Well, having an awesome Chinese friend like me, there is no point of not having Chinese class...haha. just kidding...



Since I moved, I have made myself porridge/congee a lot. It is like rice soup with whatever material you want to add other than rice and water.
This is one of billions kinds of breakfast choices in China...It might sound weird to you...but we do have things like noodle soup, rice soup, fried rice noodles, western or eastern buns, hot soy milk, steamed rice noodle rolls, and so on so on so on so on....MAN!!! This just reminds me of the food over there!!
Anyway, these are kind of our breakfast, which you may think they should be for lunch or dinner, but not for breakfast.
We barely have cold milk with cereal as our breakfast, which is super common here. I get used to it now because it is quick and easy...now I am becoming lazy...
We eat differently too. People from north of China mainly have various noodles and buns while people from south have rice as main meal. Surely, it comes with many other dishes, vegetable and meat.



Sometimes, I can't keep writing just one topic...such as the one above...My lazy cells are occupying me now.

Today I stayed at the Starbucks for almost a whole day to finish my BLS (Basic Life Support) book reading for tomorrow's CPR class. It will be from 8a.m. to 4p.m. Wish me luck with finishing that class and get my CPR certificate.

Sometimes, it is kind of weird but in a nice weird way...Like when you go into a coffee shop, they know what you wanna get...I started to notice that I have been to a coffee shop so much that they remember to add honey in my tea...OK..How about ignoring the fact that there is not many Asians in this little town? :P

Time for bed. CPR. I am ready. ( ^_^ )
