I'm using Chinese toilet paper in my bathroom. Now, that may seem odd to you or you may say, "Well, everything is made in China, so that MUST be what you're talking about." Nope. It's from China. The wrapper is in Chinese and it's completely different than whatever brands people use, like Charmin, which has quite frightening commercials, I must add. So, anyway, where did I get this Chinese toilet paper (other than the obvious answer of China)? I suppose Ting Ting left it here. People bringing toilet paper with them when they travel?! If you've never been to China or studied how they live there, you probably would think that carrying toilet paper around is kind of weird, so let me explain. A lot of their public bathrooms are just holes in the ground with no toilet paper. I'm not sure about their home bathrooms, but that's how the public ones are. If you're ever thinking about traveling to China, I advise you bring a lot of packs of Kleenex two-ply travel tissues or a small roll of toilet paper wherever you go. The hotel bathrooms are very nice, though. So anyway, whatever kind of toilet paper they have, it's really thin and is literally two layers, not stuck together like ours. To get a better idea what I'm talking about, you probably used to take tissues and pull them into two layers as a little kid. It's stuck together and always took a bit of maneuvering, right? Well, this has two layers, but thicker, and aren't stuck together. I was confused at first as to if you were supposed to use one at a time, so you'd have like two rolls built in one, but I guess you use both. It's interesting how different things such as toilet paper can be amongst cultures.
On another note, does anyone like stuffed animals? I really like stuffed animals. I may be having a backwards mentality here as I'm approaching my birthday, but stuffed animals are really fun. I feel I may be deprived as a child, never having won one of those giant stuffed bears or monkeys from the fairs. I've never been good at those things, nor gone to fairs much. Stuffed animals are so fun, though. I recently purchased two from the Sanrio store on Broadway. One's a large pink monkey and the other one is a small handheld Kuromi plush. I want to start collecting more and more, just for the fun of it. I've never really collected anything. I must be missing out on something.
I want to go on a diet. Well, not so much a diet, but I want to get more in shape. I need to exercise. Occasionally, I walk a few miles and say I'm going to do this everyday, but it doesn't last long at all. I'm somewhat fearful that I'm going to get more out of shape now that I'm not taking a gym class this year in school. I have no outside exercise, but I eat a lot. I need to fix this. I don't want to starve myself, but I don't want to gain weight. I think I should get a treadmill. But are those expensive? I believe we may have a broken electric bike, but I'd still be getting the workout, even if it wasn't turned on.
Unfortunately, without gym, I'm not taking a class that I won't have to study for. And also, I won't be in school for the first two months. I'm kind of nervous about that, since I have to learn all of my information on my own. The classes I'll be attending will be in Chinese. I don't know how I'm going to do this. I'm sure I'll be able to understand the math classes, but I'm not so sure about the other ones. I'm having trouble teaching myself so far, though. I'm okay with psychology, getting there with calculus, but I can't remember anything in US history. And I'm not making any progress on reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I've read this book before, when I was, like, seven-years-old, so I don't understand why it is a required book to read for AP 11 English. Only a week left until school and I don't know how I'm going to do this.
