Breaking News

So we've finally had a couple nice days after a miserable stretch in terms of weather. It's definitely nice change from freezing rain and 30 degrees. Just got back from playing basketball, had some decent competition actually which was nice. I will say that I am in the absolute worst shape of my life. I didn't think I could get much worse than my last year at Miami, but it's really a shame how hard it is for me to run and how quickly I am out of breath.

The other day I picked up a copy of Hangzhou Weekly, the English newspaper in the city and on the second page I found an article that made me laugh out loud. The headline being "Caught on camera: naked love rival flees furious husband." The story is about a 25 year old man who has been given "the cold shoulder" by his community after fleeing from the apartment of the women he was sleeping with, when her husband came home and found them. There is literally a picture in this newspaper that is taken from the street outside of the apartment of this guy standing, COMPLETELY NAKED, on an air conditioning unit, covering his junk, and from the window is a man yelling and flailing his arms wildly. The article goes on and explains how the guy feels bad about it but has been getting harassed by people in his neighborhood. He's very embarrassed about the whole thing, and there is even a quote from him saying, "People are even laughing at how I look naked - but I have to point out it was a very cold day." I am completely serious about this whole thing, and I'm saving this article to bring home because I think it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

I talked to my family the other day, heard from the younger sister who is home from school for Thanksgiving. It was nice to catch up, I'm definitely jealous for that though, I think I'm going to be celebrating my Thanksgiving at the Hyatt, I guess they have a really good holiday buffet. Something that stood out in the conversation with my sister though was when she asked me "If I have been to or seen any sweatshops," as if it was a common occurrence, like heading to the grocery store. Are you kidding me Glenna?
