Lazy Weekend
Location: Beijing, China
Local Time: Monday, May 22, 2006 - 8:39am
Well, I had kind of a lazy weekend. I went looking around for a martial arts school Saturday morning, but no joy. Couldn't find the place. Addresses in Beijing leave a lot to be desired. And I can't read the names of the buildings anyway. They are always written in some strange foreign language. It's all Chinese to me.
Sunday, I hardly left my room. I just studied. After many hours of practice, I can confidentally read and write 31 Chinese characters. Go ahead feel free to congradulate me.
2000-3000 characters are needed to read a newspaper, so I figure, (3000-31=) 2969 to go.
But hey, if anyone needs the translate of hello:
你好

Congratulations!!!!
Oh wait, to put that in perspective you are (31/3000) * 100 = 1.0333333333333333333333333333333 % of the way to your newspaper target! So, two weeks = 1.0333333333333333333333333333333 %, so for 100% of your goal (assuming naturally that your rate of change remains constant), you can look forward to 193.54838709677419354838709677426 weeks of schooling! Woohooo!!!
Cheers,
