exchange students unite 12:39 AM

Cooking in residence is a chore; we only have a shared public kitchen on the 1st floor and we stay on the 4th. So it's a hassle when we had to bring our pasta with boiling water (it'll cook very slowly otherwise), pasta sauce, mushrooms, veggies, soya sauce, chopped garlic and butter etc. down.

It was dinner rush hour and we bumped into the exchange students from Germany and the Netherlands in the kitchen. Had a great deal of fun talking to one another, poking at others' food and sharing cooking tips! Anyway I'm so happy that the Canadian Superstore has BOK CHOY and some other Chinese veggies (cos there are many Chinese immigrants and full-time students here I guess). So I stir-fried bok choy with mushrooms today, and the rest looked in awe and wondered what the little things were that I threw in (chopped garlic). Yes, chopped garlic is expensive but I guess we can't live without it.. it's 7 CAD for a jar!

Anyway, I helped the Dutch guy to fry his rice too, sharing my ermhermz, vast experience in cooking. The others kept saying it's nice to have a free cooking lesson, haha. So all in all, a hearty dinner that felt good! Hoping to at least interact more with fellow exchange students again. At least going for exchange student activities makes us feel more at ease; residence nights and other campus stuff don't apply as much to us compared to their full-time locals, which makes us difficult to fit in most of the time.

About me
You are an enthusiastic innovator, always seeing new possibilities and new ways of doing things. You have a lot of imagination and initiative for starting projects, and a lot of impulsive energy for carrying them out. You are stimulated by difficulties and are most ingenious in solving them. You can get so interested in your newest project that you have time for little else. Your energy comes from a succession of new enthusiasms and your world is full of possible projects. Your enthusiasm gets other people interested too.

Your feeling preference shows in a concern for people. You are skillful in handling people and often have remarkable insight into the possibilities and development of others. You are extremely perceptive about the attitudes of others, aiming to understand rather than judge people. You are much drawn to counseling and can be inspired and inspiring teacher, particularly where you have freedom to innovate. With talent, you can succeed in almost any field that captures your interest.

A difficulty for you is that you hate uninspired routine and find it remarkably hard to apply yourself to sometimes necessary detail unconnected with any major interest. Worse yet, you may get bored with your own projects as soon as the major problems have been solved or the initial challenge has been met. You may need to learn to follow through and finish what you have begun, but are happiest and most effective in jobs that permit one project after another, with somebody else taking over as soon as the situation is well in hand.
