我跟我女朋友 took a trip this weekend to Kelleys Island, which is north of Sandusky Ohio, out in Lake Erie. It’s a very small place, populated during the summer months mainly by tourists like myself. In my opinion, Kelleys Island is the only place that has ever made Lake Erie look beautiful.
We camped, hiked, and swam. I got to read some Wired Magazine and I’m now sporting a pretty mean sunburn. I was fretting a little about the upcoming semester and my second year of studying Chinese. I haven’t been studying anything except characters all summer (and the only reason I’ve been practicing characters is because Skritter makes it really easy and sort of game-like). In the evening we ate dinner out of a cooler and made s’mores. (I wonder how you would say s’mores in 中文?) I practiced a little Chinese by scrawling out 中文 on the side of the fire pit using a piece of charcoal. Charcoal is a lot harder to write with, so I did the stroke order all wrong, which really irked me. I really need to grab the proverbial bull by the horns here shortly and start listening to more ChinesePod and starting my translation exercises again, lest 马老师 frown upon me and call me a 坏蛋.
