Well, even if they aren't going as brilliantly as I'd hoped for, at least things are plodding along at a decent pace. I've settled in, made my room nice and comfy - if a little on the minimalist side, because I still haven't figured out what to do about wall decorations. I managed a blue/cream colour scheme for the bed alcove and zoned the room into 5 distinct areas: study table, larder/cooking area, dresser, sleeping/relaxing, closet/storage. This is the first time I've been motivated to go beyond the bare essentials (like buying a totally unnecessary - but pretty - throw rug) and the result is... pleasantly domestic. It lacks the polish of a bachelorette's pad, but it outscores military barracks and last semester's room.
[edit] Trying to eat my first homecooked meal of the term - noodles with canned 'chicken chow mein' mix. It's disgusting. It has too much celery and water chestnuts, too little chicken, and tastes awful. What else can one expect from American 'Oriental' food?
The thought of having to do this on a daily basis (given the resources available in this backwater of a city) for the next 4 months fills me with dread.
Recipes and food in the mail will be very much welcome.

i can cook - after a fashion, but so far the results haven't been inspiring, so i'm keeping my cooking in quarantine for now. :(
eh, interior design is not my forte, and anyway it's not quite finished yet. be patient, people.

... i thought you'd been cooking since secondary school. i've eaten your cooking before; i certainly remember patchily-salted scrambled eggs.
you have not got to the stage of making Experimental Food, at least. i think a couple of my classmates have tried it before. it involves using everything in your fridge as sandwich ingredients.
domesticity sounds nice and comforting to me.

well, yes i've been cooking for a long time. not very well and overly inclined to salt and MSG, but sufficient for basic sustenance.
i managed a pretty decent spicy eggplant with minced pork dish tonight, though. domesticity suits me.
