the posts are really messed up. nvm. and that’s a nice pic of a cafe at a street corner. i think they looks greats.
somehow over the weekend, all the lecturers started speaking so fast that it’s crazy having to listen to lectures. it’s not even reaching the language-interpreter part of my brain. even if it’s slower, it’s also takes miracles to catch what phrase are they using. so dazed.
and my tooth bothers me. beaucoup.
photos of the day/night in [...]
