my parents are entertaining a guest in the study so i can't go in to use my mother's computer, and i don't have chinese software on my own laptop, so i'm here not doing my translation assignment for tomorrow. the airconditioner is still spoilt and i'm very hot and cross, and i've class all day tomorrow from two in the afternoon till ten in the evening. i feel weary and also slightly out of my depth at the course. courage! she said! and i believe that's the sound of the guest being escorted downstairs!
