day by day

Well the new Harry Potter came out last week, and although the Chinese translation won't be available for a few months, the street vendors are already selling English and Chinese copies of Harry Potter for $4.50

I'm yet to read it, too busy with work. This week I've juggling school and my own streetball documentary project. I discovered a tournament sponsored by adidas at a park very close to my school, and it fits in perfectly with my project. I befriended a team of 17 and 18-year-olds, and everyday after my classes go directly to the park and tape their games and comments. Yesterday, they invited me to go eat out to eat with them. Although, I understand no more than 20% of what they say, (why do young people always choose to use the most informal slang to talk?) it's still exciting that this is working out so perfectly. But I'm tired, and I have a lot to do. Today, I have a bit of a break cause they don't have a game and our only homework is to prepare an oral report for tomorrow. But I also want to begin editing a video of their games to give them as a thank you for adopting this stupid foreigner.

Also, new in my life: I've decided to live off-campus next semester. I'll be living with another ACC student and a Chinese person. Still haven't seen the apartment, so I'm still a little nervous but it'll be fun.

Sorry, nothing of intellectual interest I feel capable of relating.
