I woke up this morning around 9, and I talked to Morgan some on Skype. I surfed the Internet some, and it is really interesting what the government decides to block here and what they decide to let people see.
I showered and did a little schoolwork, and then Shazeda, Lillian, Marianne, and I went to 5 Points to find a western coffee shop that was reported to be in the area. After much searching and deliberation, we found the little gem. It was a very nice little shop, and was almost like being in a coffee shop in the States. We ordered American breakfasts for a late lunch (oh glorious pancakes, sausage, and eggs!).
We all studied there for the next few hours, and I did most of my homework for the night. I also reviewed a little for my independent project. It was a very productive afternoon.
We came back to the dorm and studied some more. Around 8 this evening, we went to a little restaurant across the street, where we ate tofu, eggplant, potatoes, soup, rice, and sesame buns. We were with Joy (who came back this morning), and she is a vegetarian. Thus, most of the meals I eat with her are devoid of meat.
We came back to the dorm, and I ended up hanging out in Shazeda’s room. We talked for a long time, and it was so encouraging to talk to her about my faith! Then her roommate came back to the room, and we all hung out and talked until about one in the morning. Around that time, I came back to the room and I fell asleep, glad to not have to fight the strange sleeping behavior of my roommate, for he was already gone…
Sorry for the brusqueness of this post, but there has been little going on…
I’ll write soon!
