The last two weeks

Its been two weeks since i last posted something here. The first week, i had nothing to post, was doing chinese all the time. Right now im up in 600 characters even though 200 of them are the elements which basically doesnt mean anything. But i hope that with those memorized the new characters will come easier and be better remembered.

The second week, to much happened that i felt it would take to much time to write it in this blog. I decided i will write shortly about everything. My brother came last Wednesday, it was really cool to see him at the airport. We went straight to my apartment, and the first thing we did were to clean his room, it was really dirty since nobody had lived there in the last 8 months. Than we went and ate my favorite dish in ao mi xiang, which he also loved. Than we did some shopping and went to the football training.

The first weekend here for him was quite spectacular, and even though our memory are clouded from that night, he will never forget it, even though he dont really remember it :P. He lost his Iphone 4 somewhere, i damaged a table in the club so i got escorted to the police station. At the police station i spent 6h drunk and with no memory that i had done something bad. They wanted me to pay 10 000. At 8 a clock i called przemek because i didn't get anywhere in this thing i wanted to figure it out, or gain the knowledge in how long they could keep me there. It turned out that they were only allowed to keep me there for 8 hours. Than some translator (which im quite sure worked for the club) came, she was supposed to help me. She seemed to have some kind of relationship with the manager of the club because he listened when she told him to get me some food.

After some negotiation back and forth i offered to pay 1000rmb, which i didn't have. I had to call Andrew and Edvard for the money, and i will pay them back this Thursday. I signed some papers with a bogus name and passport number.

I am very happy that i have friend that will help when i run into problems. And a big thank to Przemek who sacrificed his whole Saturday to come and help me with translations. And for Andrew and Edward who answered that phone even though they were home sleeping, as dunk as i were.

As for the blog. I have decided that writing a daily post is to extreme. There is not much to write about in one single day, and also, later when i want to read the blog it will be to messy and to much to read though. Thats why i will keep it to a maximum of 3 post a week, and a minimum of 1.

Changing back my sleeping schedule

Time has come to an end, i am going back to a more normal sleeping schedule. The last few weeks with the "fucked" up sleeping schedule worked very well with my studies. It is so quite and calm to study at night, no distractions whatsoever. It was a long time ago i were this concentrated while studying.

Unfortunately this schedule doesn't work well with other important parts of my life like, training/football, connections with friends, eating etc. So to get back on track with those things i need to change it back. Gonna be something like, sleep 2am wake up 9am. So i will still get good study hours in the night, but still be up early to train and eat out if i want to.

This week is all going to be about Chinese. Now its time to go extreme  with is as i did with webdesign for the last two weeks.

Im in trance

I put on some Trance/Techno music and begin to study, and before i know it 8 hours has passed. It has been like this for a week now, strange how i can concentrate for so long. I am mostly working on my fathers website, which begins to look like a website more and more now. I will post a link to it in the end of the post. I just cannot stop working on it, even though it is time to study Chinese now ive became to fixated and need to break lose. Unfortunately, i think i wont be able to break lose until i finished it, which will probably be in 2 weeks or so. It will be quite cool to have a real working website out there on the web, a website i could include in my CV. Not bad, not bad!

One more thing i have to mention. I am not going to the gym anymore, i mean, i want to and i am planning to go it is just that i cannot put myself to it. I play football 2-3 times a weeks though, but i would need to go to the gym at least 1 time a week to work on my chest.

Longest break so far

This is the longest break i have been without posting. And it hasnt been due to lazyness or anything similar, the thing was that i needed to pay for the VPN again. I cannot access this blog without VPN connection because China thinks that blogger encouraging a free thinking behavior.

So what has been going on lately? Well, last week i studied most of the time. I finished the last exam in one of my courses, and began working on a website for my father. I learned alot about webdesign last week, the book headfirst html and css was really great at teaching.

Now it is a new week with new assignments. Since im finished with my webdesign course, i need to put my time on my Chinese course, so this week is all gonna be about Chinese. And some webdesign too, since im working with my fathers site still, it is almost finished though.

Clouded mind

This is what you get when you havent slept for a long time. Cannot think straight anymore, have no feelings and no mood for anything, not even sleeping. Im like a robot now, hoping to pass out in a couple of hours. Had at least a good study night, began to work on a website for my fathers new store. Interesting.

Another good study day!

I am just finishing of a 6 hour study session, one more chapter to go. Not only did i study good, but i did some new food dishes. I made the fish dish, soy milk and soy protein powder. The milk can be stored for 4-6 days in the refrigerator and the protein powder can be stored for 6+months if sealed correctly. Soon i will go out and buy some curtains so i will be able to sleep whenever i want to, a vital investment since i wont be changing this sleeping schedule for a while.

Another worthwhile thing to say, i found real yoghourt, not sweet at all. Costs 9rmb for 400g. Very tasty! 

Here are some photos from today's activities.
