Sick!

I have a cold! Agggh!
And it's only the beginning of October.... come winter I'll have no choice but to freeze to death. It' the only way.

Fortunately, stuffed sinuses and runny nose didn't stop me from yanking the top spot in my class' "Chinese Lecture Contest". My 5-minute speech on "Why I Love China" received teacher's fond praise, and I'll be representing our class in next week's school-wide contest... if I rank in the top three there, it's on to the city-wide contest in November!

But in the meantime, nothing but soup and rest and Chinese placebo pills...
I really need an English book...
