not dead (yet)
Quick, cue the music!
Contrary to popular belief, I have not died and passed on. At least, not physically.
I’m afraid that college and work has kept me from blogging because I barely have enough time to sleep (actually, I’ll take that back– judging by a few of the disapproving/concerned looks my profs have shot in my general reaction I haven’t had enough time to sleep!). I’m sure few people have noticed my absence and really, my life is terribly dull– you’re not missing much!
That said, I love Bryn Mawr. I love my family. I love my friends. I love my roomie. I love my love/hate relationship with academia. I love how in exactly 23 days I will be in China, butchering Mandarin (to a degree that will make Professor Chiang shake her head sadly at me) and looking like a very out of place next to all the ultra skinny Chinese girls in their mini-skirts.
I do not love the two weeks full of finals, presentations, and papers (oh god, all the papers*) that stand in my way.
I’m making myself a promise to start blogging again, if only because I miss having a somewhat legit excuse to procrastinate.
*Like the paper for my Asian American Communities class that I accidentally saved over with notes from my Freshman Writing class. Eight pages. Gone. Guys, learn from my mistake– always keep a copy in Google Docs. Trust me on this one.
As much as I love your (temporary?) return to your blog, I am most certainly going to have nightmares about that last scenario.
*shudders*
Also, ’tis awesome you are going to China! Where in China? Your Mandarin skills and body size are all FINE, you little self-deprecator you, so stop worrying about it and enjoy your trip.
