I think it was Mao Zedong that enjoyed sleeping in as well
March 14th, 2005 at 09:35 pmMonday morning, I awoke startled and worried that I had missed my class. I was dressed and headed towards to door within 6 seconds when I realized that 1) I was in Australia and I don’t care about this semester and 2) I WAS IN AUSTRALIA AND I DON’T CARE ABOUT THIS SEMESTER! Of course, as luck would have it, I still had plenty of time to make my class, so I stripped down, snagged a towel, and headed for the showers.
Just as I was washing the shampoo out from behind my eyelids, I heard a guitar start wailing from within the corridor. Never one to pass up an opportunity to sing in the shower, I began a heavy chorus of “Duh, duh, duuuuuh. Duh, duh, da duuuuuh” until the music finally subsided minutes later. As I stepped out of the shower room, I was greeted by Aiden and Memma standing outside my room wondering where I was. It only took a second before they saw me and greeted me. “Oh, so you were awake! Since it was past noon and we hadn’t seen you all day, we thought we’d wake you up with some calming music. Guess we’ll have to try it again later this week.”
I guess my reputation for sleeping in is global now. At least I know I have friends who care enough to give me an early heart attack before lunch.

Ever since my Chinese Communist class, I’ve spelled it Zedong. Looks like Google agrees =)

That’s a PHONETIC spelling. It’s not really how its spelled. UGH!

Ahem! Actually Zedong is the newer pinyin transcription developed by the Chinese government. The Tse-tung is the older Wade-Giles form of non-English transcripting. They are BOTH correct. And a cheery good day to you too… ;>

Nobody knows how to spell Chinese words in English anyway.
Chou En Lai, how do you get Joe out of Chou?
Jiang Jeshi is the same as Chiang Kai Shek.
That kicks the hell out of through, though, and all those other English stupidities.
