右 = yòu = right, right-wing politics
This one is pretty straightforward: 右 is the physical right side of things. 右手(yòu shǒu) is your right hand, 右边 (yòu bian) of something is the right side of it, and 右箭头 (yòu jiàn tóu) is an arrow that points to the right.
左右 (zuǒ yòu) is literally left-right, and it means “more or less”. So for instance, if you want to tell your friend you’ll come over around 10, you can say 我十点左右来 (wǒ shí diǎn zuǒyòu lái). On the political side, 右派 (yòu pài) is the right-wing party, and 极右翼 (jí yòu yì) would be the extreme right. 
And if you’re in Hong Kong, don’t forget to look right before crossing the road!

I have been a little bit ill recently and so unable to fully focus on my studies, but I'm still going strong, at least revising every day even if I'm not truly learning!

So i am home, which means you are going to see this desk from now on! I hope it doesn’t scare some of you away! The same content just a bit different. 
I am going to move out this weekend from my dorm. Going back, and packing my stuff without actually finishing the uni year is going to feel strange. Heck it feels strange now.
