The last few weeks were filled with basic school things. Go to class, study, eat, sleep, and repeat. I did, however, get to explore some more of the island with my roommate and a couple other exchange students. Whampoa is a pretty cool area with some ritzier places and great spots to hang out. The MTR (Metro) makes it so much easier to get around than driving and it’s something I am going to miss.
Regarding school, I finally had my first quiz of the semester during week 5. It was in Chinese and it went fairly well. It’s very strange to me to not have tests or quizzes, but with the final being 50% of your grade and group projects being up to 35%, what can you expect? My advice is that even though there are no tests, make sure to study along with the class. This will make it much easier when the time comes.
That’s all for now! I’ll leave you with some pictures!
