Weather is very cold here (average of 5-10 deg C). Today there was showers of rain so I didn’t want to get out of the house. In the end I went to the seminary library to scan a book for my dad (photocopying here is relatively expensive – U.S. 10 cents per page). So I’m right now multitasking – scanning and surfing the net at the same time because this scanner software is slow.
I went shopping with my parents yesterday and got lots of goodies (sweets, chocolates & biscuits) for distribution when I return to Singapore. My dad also went for the Kentucky driving test and passed (international licenses are valid for a year only). The pizzas here are cheaper and tastier here in the U.S. than back home.
This week is the math week for the local college held in it’s library. The main highlight is an origami display (pictures to come later), and in the evenings there are different activities every day, like paper airplane classes (aerodynamics are taught), origami lessons, paper airplane and origami competitions and mini math oympiads.
Most of our needs here are met as the people here are generous and donate stuff to a charity pool for international students and families, and we can just get them for free; we didn’t have to shop for groceries other than once a week on Sundays.
