Oh, hello again study bunny.

Yes, it's midterms again. That means radio silence on this blog until at least Friday, when that black midterm cloud stops hanging over my head.

Wish me luck!

Fragrant Hills

The week before last, after midterms were over, I went to Fragrant Hills Park (香山公园) with some friends. This park on the outskirts of Beijing is a popular destination in the fall for many people since it's a great place to see the fall colors.

Unfortunately for us though, the strong winds of the week before had blown most of the leaves off the trees. Nevertheless, it was nice to be out of the city and walking amongst trees instead of buildings for a change.

Since many of the pictures I took of things didn't turn out particularly well this time, here are some pictures of people. For those of you who've been complaining that there are no pictures of me on this blog...here you go. Click to enlarge the image, if you must.

Midterms, midterms, midterms

...yep, It's midterm week for me at BNU. Until I'm done with midterms, no new blog posts for you. Sorry.

I'm off to memorize a million (okay...more like a couple hundred) vocab words.

Wish me luck.
