It has rained non-stop for a couple of hours today :worried:
I went to bed at 2am and woke up slightly after noon. I found it so odd because I wasn’t really tired but I still slept like a baby. Then I realised that it was raining. :laugh: On rainy days like this, all I want to do is stay in bed. But no, i ‘had’ to wake up and revise. I’ve got my mid-term exams next week.
I ‘tried’ to revise but found it difficult to concentrate on a day like this so I just sat by the window and snapped a few pics. Then I revised a bit.

Moreover, it was pretty cold today. Few people from the building I live in went out today. I guess that no one wanted to leave the comfort of his own room to brave the cold.
I noticed a few local students outside though. Brave people. Or maybe I should use the word ‘hard-working’ . Some of them were going to the library.

The weather was okay during the past few days but according to my chinese friends, it was warmer than it should have been. They said that it’s usually colder at this time of the year.

  Hey, here in BJ it’s been around 4C in the morning and 6-7C around noon, so SH is MUCH warmer.
  You still haven’t had exams? That’s late! Here in BJ we had it over a week ago, and in Chongqing I gather Kwang already got his too.

  I know. Kwang already told me. In SH our semester starts a week after BJ or CQ so I guess that’s why we have our mid-term exams one week after you guys. :flowers:
  Right now the lowest temperature is still about 12 degrees, warmer than in Beijing but I’m more of a summer girl. I can’t stand cold weather. I fall sick easily.

  Wow… that looks like a lot of rain.

  Today I woke up, looked out the window, and saw snow on the ground where I live! :faint: It’s too early for snow!

  I always find it hard to take pictures of rain. But when it’s pouring like that, I guess it’s easier, yeah.
