One reason I study so single-mindedly here is because I'm afraid that this dream is going to come crashing down on me one day if I don't get some skills, literally. My apple drawings aren't going to cut it unfortunately, but speaking Chinese might....all I want out of life is a little freedom, just a little. I am happy right now because I have time to draw apples and study and travel once in a while, and I like my job.....I guess I'm just afraid of one day returning to Canada and have to wash socks (okay, I wouldn't mind washing socks if I had to), get up early for a job I hate, work long mindless hours void of any chance of self-improvement etc., Am I being unreasonable?
This week I've got to do two things: find a second apartment near ZZU and inquire about next term's courses. I am sure it's going to be a crazy year coming up, work-load-wise. I'm nervous, so I'm hoping to buy the books ahead of time and review them before classes begin. I need an apartment near ZZU because I don't want to live on campus: it's expensive and the gate locks at 11pm, precluding any late-ish bike riding opportunities. The beds aren't comfortable there, either.Going to bed now. Nighty night.
Pictures: An edited version of a painting I took a picture of in Beijing, editing job by a friend at school; ZT's toes.

CHRISSS! I was at the YOrk Regional Headquarters today and guess what picture I saw in the cabin? OUr team photo from envirothon! It was like a flash from the past! Great times at that competition and also remembering Mr Parrott's lack of rules (ie not stopping at stop signs) Just want to let you know that Kyle, Catherine Macpherson's brother, Denise, you and me are immortalized forever in the York Regional Headquarter's Cabin. What a feat!
Haha Chris, I totally missed the fact that you were in that painting the first time I read this. It just caught my eye as I was about to close the page. :)
