Oooh, another good cell-phone-mishap-blonde-whatever-you-wanna-call-this-story story. My sister passed me her phone today to look at the pictures she took with it. Unfortunately, I accidentally exit the picture viewer, so I'm back to the main screen. I scroll through the menu options and don't see anything that relates to cameras (I guess for some reason I didn't think the camera was multimedia???). I go back to the main screen and OH, look, there's an option for browser! I think to myself, it must be the picture browser. I click on it. All of a sudden it says "Connecting to network" and I say to myself NO NO NO you do NOT want to surf the NET!!! I immediately hit the red button (guys, at least I know the red button cancels EVERYTHING!), except that for some reason, then it said, "Connecting to GPRS system". I proceed to keep hitting the red button so I won't have to pay for the minute I connect to this stupid internet via the dumb cell phone. But of course, apparently I connect. WHY do cell phones hate me SOOOOO??? After the whole fiasco (I just ended up turning the phone off...ahahaha, I'm such a spazz), I told my sister and she gave me this look like, "WHAT IS your PROBLEM. Learn to use a cell phone." I was rather sheepish after that.
But really, WHAT is the problem? WHY am I so incredibly inept at using cell phones??
In other exciting news, there was some huge incident at York today which required the use of 5 police cars, (I think) 2 unmarked police cars, and a helicopter. Someone said it was a protest, but honestly, is that not a little much to send that many cops to a protest? Most people I talked to said it was really peaceful. Who knows. York is CONSTANTLY having protests, especially between the Israeli and Palestinian student groups. But I've never seen them get overly ugly. I thought it was exciting today though, because there was a helicopter.
Just a quick update and I'll let you get back to whatever you were doing before reading my blog...I got new lenses for my glasses, which meant that I only had contacts for a week (I feel your pain, Matt!), which sucked because I don't wear them that much and they tire out my eyes SO much more. What else...my sister called me a grand total of 15 times on my cell phone today (this is really abuse), I cannot seem to stay up much past midnight anymore, I have way too much to do (what else is new?!), oh, and I have a hilarious Mandarin teacher.
Sample conversation:
Student raises hand to answer a question. Teacher picks on the student. Student decides not to answer the question.
Teacher (don't forget the Chinese accent!): Why do you raise your hand and not give an answer? I feel deceived. This class does not do enough work.
Ahahahaha, "I feel deceived"???? I don't know, maybe it's not funny. I can't tell. I'm noticing I think a lot of things are really funny, when they really aren't. But I think if you knew my teacher, you'd really think she was funny. It's scary in the class now though, because she knows my NAME. i.e. trouble, because she only calls on the ppl she knows the names of now. Okay that's it, but really, come visit me at York sometime and sit in on my Mandarin class. You'll learn a lot about EVERYTHING.
Funny quote of the day: It's okay to sit on the pity pot a while; just make sure you flush when you're done.
