We had fire in our eyes

Work was good today, as usual. I still have my little daily peeves with certain people *ahem* but I did a little coffee run with Courtney this morning because 7am to 7pm McDonald's has free coffee :) It's the smaller things that seem to make me especially happy right now.

I was thinking about my Chinese speaking abilities during class today (or rather, my lack of). I've developed some bad habits that stop me from learning Chinese progressively. Like when my mom and I talk to each other, I'll say a word in English if I can't think of it in Chinese. Or when I'm trying to get a thought out fast (we all know I have too much to say), I can't arrange the words in the same order as it is in English so I get frustrated and just say it in English. And most of all, I don't talk to anyone but my mom in Chinese unless I'm in Taiwan. I dunno.

Anyway, Chinese class wasn't even awkward with D until afterwards when we got in an argument about my broken bumper which ended in him calling me a bitch (I know he didn't mean it). I stormed off and came ridiculously close to getting in an accident with cars on both my right and left sides, one driving towards me, and I think that's when I started crying again.

I went for a power run with my baby doggie when I got home. I don't know why. I deeply hate running too, but I guess I was already so sweaty and my adrenaline was going it didn't even matter because I felt like I'd been running already. I must be super out of shape too, because I had a little trouble keeping up with my tiny 8 lb. dog. Gotta work on that, hahaha.

On another "good small things" note, my Tyrone Wells CD came in the mail today and it is just as good as I'd hoped!
