Ode to my Beijing friends (Another note typed on...
I didn’t think I’d be this sad. I’ve been talking about leaving for at least two weeks. Probably since my birthday. And yet, here I am, tears freely flowing as the cab made that left turn at Chengfu Lu and drove past the Wudaokou ditie zhan. I can’t quite put my finger on what it is that’s making me sad. Did I grow attached to Beijing? Not particularly, I have too...

Ruminations on Beijing (A note typed on my iPhone...
You actually have to be brave to walk away from your own life. China was a fantasyland. It gained normalcy, but it was still a vacation to me. People walk away to find themselves but I walked away without that kind of intention. And now I feel like I’ve found some kind of relationship I’ve never had before. I literally lived with these kids, had class with these kids, and went out...

I'm in Tampa! Yay!
I left Beijing on Saturday at 1 (though our plane didn’t take off until 2) and we arrived at my house on Saturday at 11:30, which would ordinarily not be that bad, but let me remind you that I gained 12 hours back in the process. So, I’m really tired but I also can’t really sleep right now because my body thinks it’s noon on Sunday… #study abroad kid problems

3. More. Days.
Only 4 1/2 more pages of my Olympics paper, a final test in Chinese, a trip to the Silk Market, and finally seeing Chairman goddamn Mao stand in my way of getting back home. I cannot wait to set foot on American soil, take in a deep gulp of fresh JFK Airport air and eat a pastrami fucking sandwich. Seriously, everything I will eat for the following three or four days will either have bread or...
