After getting back from Haikou, I went to the immigration department to collect my passport. I arrived early at 1:30 p.m. (The woman was supposed to meet me at 2 p.m.). Wouldn’t you know it, she strolled in right on time? It frustrated me a little because I texted her when I arrived, and she mentioned that she lived "500 metres" away. I thought she could have come over as soon as she found out I was there early, don’t you think?
I had to return to Zhuhai for my second rabies vaccination. It's a long story, but I became nervous about the cat I had adopted for a few days. I decided to get the vaccine just in case, not realizing it was a series of five shots! It really stressed me out, and I ended up becoming quite paranoid about the situation. I never saw the tabby cat again and couldn't identify which of the cats wandering around the school he was. None of the others were as friendly; they all ran away from me. This left me wondering if maybe he was gone because he had died from rabies. That thought was frightening, and I really hoped the vaccine would be effective. It also unnerved me to know there was a specialized clinic for rabies prevention at my hospital. My goodness. I couldn't help but think about how many cases they dealt with there.
