Congratulations!!!

Day 18
Well first things first, Congratulations to the Shull clan for they have added another member to their family. Cooper Elijah, welcome! We all can’t wait to see how you’ll grow into one of the best wrestlers of all time.
Well, the past few days haven’t been that exciting. Yesterday was work, which consisted of a little 3d modeling on Sketchup, a little meal and now Chinese lessons with Terry and Hou. A very awkward moment happened between me and the rest of the crew. One of the older ladies asked me if I had a girlfriend because she was thinking of introducing me to someone she knows, and then Terry asked if she had yellow hair. I said my first one did, and they all went,” ooooooooo!!!!” The older lady then asked me how many girlfriends I have had, and I said, “Two”. She looks at me in shock and then smiles and says that I should have had at least 10. She’s so nice, but I think I’m too young for her. Ultimate Frisbee was awesome except for the fact that I had no idea of how to get to the stadium. I new the metro stop and a general idea of where it was… about six blocks north from the subway station. So like Forest Gump, I just ran. And ran. And ran. And ran, stopped to catch my breath. And ran, and then called someone. I passed it.
Today was an exciting day at work because I was introduced to a new phenomenon called: Spider Solitaire. This is perhaps one of the most challenging but awesomeness game I’ve played on a computer for some time. I lost, I admit it, but then the fireworks were blazing (fireworks happen when you win) and I was the MAN! I was so worked up... I fell asleep on the bus. Luckily I awoke in time for my stop and stumbled off the bus and started preparing for Chinese lessons. Today’s lesson was probably my worst. I didn’t remember anything and I was just too hungry to do anything. So afterwards Anna and I ventured off to a local restaurant and we ordered some Xiao Long Bao (dumplings). We ordered 5 steamers full of dumplings. I expected it to cost at least 30 RMB….15 RMB= $2.35. I win cuz I’ll be eating there a lot.

    I love the blog! Been too long since we spoke but I am very excited to see the ol' Chao taking names and kicking butt (out of life that is, not succumbing like a whiner)! Thanks for the shout out, Cooper is the man right now! All is good here. Glad to hear you are doing ultimate, as if I caught by surprise that you were playing ultimate! Who is "Nads"?? Very funny name and I am certain some YL program character will be forthwith! Keep the news coming and talk at ya soon!
