International Women's Day

Tomorrow is International Women's Day, and hence today we gave our teacher a little gift to " bribe " her into being nice to us in class. She promised us that we will be able to see an operation that she will be performing today and she held true to her word. The operation was called adenoidectomy and it was being performed on a small kid. The area of operation was endoscopically and through the mouth hence there was only so much that we could see going on. After a while, we got bored and our legs were starting to hurt from the rigid posture we acquired to get a better view of the operation. Before the operation, me and my male classmates helped out to keep the child in place as he was trashing around being afraid of the needle that was introducing the anaesthesia solution. I thought the kid was already partially sedated as his eyes were closed and a mask that I thought had cloroform(sedative) was being used. But to my astonishment, when the anaesthesiologist called out the kid's name, his eyes fluttered open and he was staring right back into the doctor, during which I was just situated just beside her. I got a fright with the intense of his stare and his eyes (they were a clear blue color). After our class, we had to go for our Russian class which all of us dreaded. We bought her a small bouquet of flowers on the road side (being the cheapskate Chinese we are) and presented her with it in hopes of being able to skip the class. And lo behold, our wishes came true and I headed to the get some groceries as I planned to bake some cookies later during the day. I went to gym for the 1st time after a 1 week plus of rest at home being lazy. I had a new personal best of running and exhausting myself of 500kCal and having the longest run on the treadmill I ever had. Though, the success was short lived as my plan to workout longer was turned into ashes went my fatigue kicked in. After reaching home, I started to prepare the ingredients for baking and started my attempt of creating a batch of chocolate chip cookies. Instead, I got fed up with the pastries as my dear beloved oven (a blowing oven which fans heat out from a fan above) wouldn't want to bake the cookies in its usual manner and only form a layer of crust on the above while leaving the lower part still uncooked no matter how much time I gave it. Anyway, shout out to all the girls and women out there!! Enjoy yourself on the auspicious 2012 International Women's Day!!!
