Blue and Grey

I have this sudden interest with Civil War history, and I can place the blame squarely on this semester's professors. I think it started with one professor suggesting Gettysburg, then the next suggesting The Killer Angels. I am now seriously considering buying Shelby Foote's 3 volume set, along with The Red Badge of Courage, and Bruce Catton and James Macpherson's works. Whether I'll have space to shelve all of them, let alone read all of them, is something I prefer not to address at the moment, haha.

Kinda weird how I'm more interested in a civil war that's not from either of my home countries.

In other genres, the Dune series is proving a very interesting read. The spice is life.

Cover up!

More evidence of culture shock:

I was walking in the middle of Central (downtown, business-y sort of place, lots of chain stores) with my mum, and she said what I was wearing was highly inappropriate.

I was wearing a T-shirt, USC gym shorts (mid thigh), and flipflops. Everyone around me was wearing business or business casual.

Clearly, I have yet to assimilate back into Hong Kong culture.
(However, if I'd worn a pair of trainers and claimed said outfit was workout gear, I might have gotten away with it.)

Wow...

I am 2 days away from the end of my freshman year.

Can't wait.
