Writers Block

I can't even tell you how much I am enjoying having the week off, with everybody gone, to write a 1500 character essay at my leisure. And think about it. My research? Involves me working on my health. I can go see a doctor about chronic headaches that I have been getting since childhood, and I can call it research. I can lie on a bed, not moving, taking a nap for half an hour, AND IT'S RESEARCH. Tomorrow, I get to go get a massage and cupping, and it's research. I love my life.

Today, I took the moment to enjoy this. Well, after I got my internet fixed, that is. I spent an hour trying to get it working. I paid for another month yesterday, but for some reason, I couldn't get online this morning. I got into a fight with the internet lady over it. It was an accident, I swear! I blame it on language barriers.

But it was all okay in the end. I did feel bad about getting mad at her, but she was not being helpful, and I was getting jerked around. So I had a temper. Sue me.

I spent the majority of the rest of the afternoon trying to write my paper, and edit what I had written yesterday. It wasn't easy, but I got up to 750 characters, which is half of what I need to have written, and I have a good idea of what I need to write next. I have more of the background of Chinese medicine to write, and a couple of stories to tell. It should be pretty easy to wrap up.

I took a break at around 2 to get my head out of my room, and go for a walk downtown. I was trying get to a new place so that I could keep writing. I hate writers block. While i was walking, I saw a guy that was selling rabbits and fish out of a cart that was attached to his bike. These rabbits were the cutest thing that I have ever seen. They were small, and huddled up in tiny little cages. I almost bought one. Almost. But there I didn't think that I would be able to take it on the plane. I sent a text to my mom, just to make sure. How awesome would that be if I could buy a bunny here and bring it back with me to America?

I worked on my paper some more until 5, and then took the bus over to a restaurant that I used to know. Unfortunately, walking down the street, I couldn't find the restaurant, and I ended up eating cereal for dinner as soon as I got back home. After going to the DVD store, of course. It's so hard to find places that I used to go to! China is upscaling. It's a problem. Maybe not from an economists point of view, but from the point of view of an innocent bystander trying to find an restaurant to eat it, it is.

Not a very interesting day, I know. But hey, writing is not exactly a glamorous job. Talk soon!
