I wrote this and deleted it. Wrote it again, deleted it again. Now i’m on the third try and we’ll see how far i get. Why delete it so many times? Because my mom stalks me on the internet like you wouldn’t believe (okay, maybe you would believe it if you saw the comments). The [...]

When It’s Impossible to Get Warm
These are the hard days of living in China. The city has cut off all heat inside the apartments and buildings, but yet it’s still in the 30’s and 40’s outside. The feeling we have is, in a word, miserable. There’s no such thing as being warm. Bursts of cold air come rushing in every [...]

What I’m Up To…

Today, my roommate left to go to [...]
My Morning Commute
I’m back in Beijing and this semester is different. It’s different because i decided that i’m tired of working from home. “That’s a dream job!” most would say. I agree.
