I was going to post my photo essay about Beida, but it's really not that interesting - it's just four photos of different manifestations of the view outside my window, and various cheesy captions to them (think "dawn", "winter" and "night", as well as "daylight"). And it's REALLY windy outside, and so cold the wind whips your breath away in the darkness! A mianbaoche - loaf-of-bread van - almost ran me over today. Not cool.

Anyway. I need to finish my essay. Oh yeah and: THE INTERNET SITUATION GOT RECTIFIED. Thank you Wang laoshi, Mike Donahue, Pitzer, and whatever kind internet deity made this happen, but I am NOT crouching in a hallway or losing my fingers outside to upload this. I don't think I'll ever get over the luxury of internet in my room now.
(PS: please don't tell Stazi she can even get internet in her bed if she really wants to cuz then she'll never leave it.)
Thank you for your blog! ;)
