A bad week

Last week was has been added to my not so great memories of China. On
Wednesday I fell climbing up granite stairs in the subway. Granite,
although beautiful to look at, is the hardest thing I have ever had
the misfortune to fall on. Ouch! I still have the bruises. I also
wore very flat shoes that day. Flat shoes may seem like the easy
comfortable option but not when you have to walk, run, and climb
granite stairs. It was their lack of grip that probably made me slip
and fall. Their lack of cushion also caused my left heel to feel pain
on every step. Even now, four days later I still have pain in my left
heel when I walk. Sam say's I'm getting old but I think I'm going to
throw away those flats. On Thursday I bought a canvas book bag to
hold my school books. It promptly tore after one use. Then on Friday
I went to ride my bike and it was gone! Stolen! Sam's bike was there
but mine was not. Its weird because Sam's bike is nicer and more
expensive than mine but it was mine that was gone. I have since
learned that the brand of my bike is more popular than Sam's so that
could have been why. I knew it was only a matter of time before one
of our bikes was stolen but I really had hoped it would be longer than
three months. I am now on the hunt for a used and very ugly bike that
no one will want. On top of all this I've been sick with a cold for
over a week. I'm really tire of blowing my nose.

I had a dream the other night that I was eating a bowl of Kix cereal.
It was heaven.
