No More Lonely Noodles

Jeremy is here!  And we have a little home.  And classes are about to start. Yay!
I’m really craving a routine.   Right now I don’t seem to be getting anything done, and my study habits are miserable.  I took my placement exam on Monday.  Wow, that was scary.  I think they gave me one of the higher levels, but I think I completely failed.  Hopefully I demonstrated some ability.  It will be exciting to have new books and classmates and things.

Since I’m living off campus, I had to register at the police station.  Last time I was here, I went to the same station.  I remember it being very confusing, but this time around they had an entire office dedicated to interacting with foreigners.  Of course I had to sit around a while, but it didn’t take long.  I suppose I was a little more prepared this time.  I had all of my documents in order.  That helps.
Jeremy gave me a camera, but I still need to buy a memory card.  There is a small internal memory, but it can only hold a few images.  I’ll soon fill this site with some good pics.  I already have a few on my flickr site. I have to admit that I’m still a little shy when it comes to pulling out my camera.  Sigh.

It’s been fun rediscovering a few restaurants around Kunming.  Yesterday we walked through the rain to a place that serves “box lunch” style meals.  It’s rare that you can order a single meal.  Most restaurants are family style, so it’s nice to have a place where you eat alone without being wasteful.  Of course, you can always order noodles in single servings, but that gets monotonous.  Noodles are lonely.
