I just spent all friggin' day writing midterms for my 6^th grade math class and my statistics class. Maybe I'll put some of the problems up here after this week, just so that you can get a feel. The statistics'll kill ya.

I just read in the paper this morning that authorities are cracking down on jaywalking in Shanghai. No longer will the crossing guard just yell at you, they now have policemen at their side ready to fine you RMB 50 for crossing on a red. Luckily, the paper reports that you can usually bargain them down to RMB 5 or 10. As long as the message gets across, I suppose.
