ダンスマラソン～Dance Marathon～

In a huge tent!

This weekend is Dance Marathon weekend at Northwestern, and so Tessa+I headed to Norris to go cheer the dancers on!

Back in our time, the event was held in the Louis Room (inside Norris), but now it's held in this huge @ss tent right outside Norris.

We went around 3pm Saturday, and it had started at 7pm Friday, so it was Hour 20 out of 30 hours.

They must've been exhausted, but the ISRC crew was going strong.

Yay DM!

This past Sunday, if you recall, I went on a department dim sum trip. And at night, I attended International Dinner at my formal dorm for three reasons:

• To hang out with the current residents and fellow alumnus Tessa(+Hugo)
• To network with the dorm fellows (professors) who are relevant to my field
• To meet the current university president!

This ultimately led me to not be able to work enough on schoolwork and consequently I am suffering now, but ya know what, it was worth it. :)

飲茶～dim sum～

taro dumplings!

Organized a dim sum trip for the department this past Sunday.

We went to Furama off the Argyle stop, where they open up the second floor only on Sundays.

Totally recommend it, especially with big groups of people.

It turned out to be such a success that we may designate the last Sunday of every month to be dim sum Sunday from now on.

コーヒー～Coffee～

One of my tutees is real nice and brings me coffee to the tutoring sessions.



Thing is, it keeps me awake at night (the tutoring session is at 6:30pm) so I'd prefer decaf, or even better, herbal tea.



But I can't tell him that, cuz then it's like I'm expecting him to bring me a drink every time!



So I just say thank you and drink it. :P
