me and tea

in the FIAP at 3:15am.. gotta be up in 4 hours.. maybe 2 cups of tea was a bad idea. tomorrow i shall locate a blow dryer. also i have the urge to call everyone senor instead of monsieur. i dunno where this inclination comes from, as i've never taken spanish before. i also lost my paris map. i think i will check out an electronics store for a portable GPS system that i will need installed on my forearm or something. not having maps on an iphone (which i still rely on 3 years after i first moved to nyc, which i definitely depend on in LA where i've lived for 8 years) IS A REALLY BAD THING especially in a place without a GRID. shanghai was ok because i took cabs literally everywhere so i never had to know where i was going, all i had to do was write down addresses.

it's crazy that this is my second time. feels like i'm a freshman again. i actually missed out on welcome week in freshman year. i always do this, i never like making friends with people my age and prefer to break from the group with older people. but this time i'm trying to curb that urge since it's my last opportunity to be in this kind of setting.
