		<description><![CDATA[Piers tried to pay me a compliment the other day. &#160; &#8220;Your skin is so smooth,&#8221; he said. I was about to modestly protest when he added, &#8220;Like a pumpkin.&#8221; &#8220;What?&#8221; I said. &#8220;No, wait,&#8221; he said thoughtfully, &#8220;Pumpkins aren&#8217;t very smooth, are they?&#8221; &#8220;No, they&#8217;re not.&#8221; &#8220;Okay,&#8221; he tried again, &#8220;Your skin is as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You know how, in relationships, you reach a point where you run out of things to talk about? Piers and I got to that stage a few months back. We gradually replaced our bonding sessions with TV. Lots of TV. I was starting to get addicted, too, because England has no end of interesting, crazy [...]]]></description>

The good news is that we start going on job placements in about two and a half months&#8217; time so I might have more stories to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, I taught two classmates how to unroll and roll up a mat*. It went reasonably well. I&#8217;m sure they were very impressed by how I patiently paused at every step of the process to make sure they understood, and to covertly whisper to them, &#8220;Erm&#8230; What&#8217;s next?&#8221; I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll be a brilliant teacher [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I got told off this morning. All because Edgeworld, a game I&#8217;m playing on Facebook, sneakily told all my friends that I&#8217;m playing it. A lot of Facebook games do that, in fact. You can&#8217;t even log in to Facebook these days without everyone immediately knowing that you&#8217;re at the moment skiving off instead of [...]]]></description>

I have in front of me my laptop, a crackling fire and a sleepy dog snoring in his bed. Perfect. &#160; &#160; The TV is [...]]]></description>

I was first told the date of the party, then a list of highlights, including makeup and fashion shows, food and drinks, limited edition products on sale, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a problem: The English can&#8217;t pronounce my name. You see, my official name (Shen Qiaoyun) is written in hanyu pinyin, which is the English phonetic representation of Mandarin. So the English would read it as Kiao Yoon because Q is supposed to be a hard K sound in English. Some of them even [...]]]></description>
