So yesterday I went with my friend Storm to the track on the other side of campus. He’s a sprinter for UCI and I’m just…training for the 4.5k for the Shanghai marathon, which is less than a month away! But anyway, we ran to the track because we wanted to do speed workouts. Well, I ran, Storm biked. Along this his bike, he brought his book bag with him that had his cell phone, wallet, money, some clothing, and some other valuables in it, along with our room keys. At the track, I did 800’s and he did 200’s. All is fine and dandy, and it’s getting dark out but we’re still doing our workouts. Afterwards, we head back to his stuff, only to find that it’s gone! Someone stole his bag! What in the world is wrong with these people?! Everything was replaceable, which is good, but it’s the whole principle of the fact! He also had sweat pants that he put with his bag along with his water bottle. While I was running past every time, I saw a black blob which I assumed was his bag, but it wasn’t. It was just his black sweat pants. We had a great workout, so at least there was something to be happy for. He also left his bike key in his bag, so he couldn’t get his bike back. He walked back to our dorms and told the front desk. They had to open our rooms for us and then we had to pay 50rmb for a new key card. I guess that isn’t bad, but I still can’t believe someone stole his bag! Stupid people.

But anyway…after we got into our rooms, we took a quick shower and then met up with everyone for dinner. All the UC students finished their midterms yesterday so we went out to dinner and then to a club called Muse to celebrate. Dinner was great! We went to this all you can eat and drink Japanese restaurant for 150rmb where they cook in front of you! I’ve never had food cooked in front of me before! I thought it was amazing:) And at Muse there was a Hong Kong popstar there but I don’t know who he was. Something Chen…but of course right after we leave he sings. Oh well.

Overall, it was a fabulous night. Good food, good dancing. Now time to study:( Maybe another wonderful night tonight!:)
