Well, I'm sorry for leaving that last post up as the only one for so long. I wrote it on a really tough day, and it's probably not the most sunny piece of work. Overall, I've been doing well. The break has been ridiculously busy, trying to see everyone and, more importantly, really getting quality one-on-one time with as many people as possible. ( Read more... )

I don't really post very often nowadays, but I feel like I need to tonight. I remembered, I guess, why I ever did in the first place. I still live in the dorms, here in my fourth year at Clemson, but they're admittedly the nicest ones.

So I returned home this morning at about 5:15 AM, finally worn out from studying (I can't even begin to explain how much all this Chinese homework was getting me down), and started getting ready for bed. And THEN realized that I still had to pit my car/run some errands. Misery. However, these things are done, I'll be waking at 12:30 after a (I ( Read more... )

The past few days have just been so comforting and meaningful to me, trying to spend some time with Katy before the break. On Friday, Katy managed to find a bamboo forest that she'd heard about because she thought that I'd love it, and we went there. And it was gorgeous, weaving through the sixty-foot-tall bamboo stalks and broken shafts of ( Read more... )

Everything makes me tired.
