Beginning (or End?)

Hey Everyone,

Finals are finished. Almost packed. I'm leaving Yale tomorrow morning. It's weird saying "cya later" when you bump into friends on campus knowing later might mean "in four months" instead of "at dinner." Isn't it amazing how quickly the year goes by?

At the same time, school isn't really over for some of us. Four weeks from now we'll be back in the classroom, writing characters, memorizing dialogues, trying to learn a year's worth of Chinese in nine weeks. Not knowing what to expect is intimidating - but there is also a general feeling of excitement knowing we are about to begin... who knows what.

Anyway, thanks for checking out my blog. More posts coming soon.

(P.S. For those of you who don't know, this blog is going to be about my summer in Beijing at the Harvard Beijing Academy. Everyone with a Light Fellowship writes one. I'm there from June 12th to August 16th learning L3 and L4 Chinese.)

  2. Thanks Shijie. I hope so too. We have a week in the middle for a "social study project" and I would like to travel somewhere. I'll let you know if I am going to be in Shanghai.
