It's been a while since i last posted

because i've been busy wrapping things up. last night i had more beer than the whole semester combined. 8 bottles. not a lot, i know. but as a person who used to (prior to the summer in China) hate beer (the smell, the taste, the whole existence) to pieces that's pretty...ground-breaking. result? busting out a blog entry at 7:30 AM.

More later.
