My head hurts – learning Chinese
Ow. My head hurts. I just finished my first Chinese lesson in a month or so. It was depressing how much I forgot but actually kind of encouraging how much I remembered (which is anything at all). It was only my second class solo, since Tom,…
Lost in space
I wrote a great post about the Backstreet Boys concert last night but Jacob ran up here after school, eager to get on cartoon network.com and somehow managed to close down everything I was working on, losing that and some other stuff.…

Getting ready to head back
Well, we are completely exhausted but feeling good as we prepare to head back to Beijing in the morning.
We had a great trip, saw a lot of friends and families, had some good meetings, did a bunch of work, etc. It's not exactly relaxing and…
