Hot summer! except not.

So i googled the weather for sydney and blacktown today just for the kicks and saw that it was 42 degrees... wasnt sure if srs or typo, but then mulitple friends confirmed it on msn. 42 degrees... are you guys like melting back at home ahha 42 degrees is like too hot for the beach, too hot for anything... Imagine if we had to do our exams in 42 degree heat (don't know about oyur school but girra has no aircon in the exam hall). Well between sydney and here there a 32 degree difference, I HAVENT EXPERIENCED HOT SUMMER DAYS YET GODAMNIT it's 10 degrees and raining here....

My grandpa got admitted to hospital, his high bloodpressure has gone out of control lately so that a major low, but i've been trying to visit him as much as possible when i have time, on another note the hospital looks exactly like a shot from scrubs LOLL. But in my various walks in china i've noticed many many useless jobs, probably because labour is cheap here. These include (names appropriated):
- elevator button presser (it involves staying in an elevator the entire day pressing level buttons for visitors, found mostly in high end hotels and hospitals)
- supermarket welcomer (a woman has a microphone attached to her and repeats "huang yi guang ling" meaning 'welcome' to every single person who enters the supermarket)
- most retail jobs where the number of employees exceeds the number of customers within the shopping centre.

GUYS i am thinning due to the lack of good red meat here in china. FML my arms are legit like sticks now i have lost all the (little) muscle tone from work outs and tennis. i'm going to look like a toothpick in a singlet when i come back to australia :(((

Isn't it weird to think that people still have school at this very moment.... feels like my high school education has ended LOOOOOONG ago
