Hey Everybody,

So yes, I have been blamed for allowing this beautiful site to sink into a state of morbidity, and yes, I do have to admit, it’s my fault. I can’t say that I haven’t had the time, nor can I say that I’ve had nothing to write about, because those two things are just outright false.

Anyways, onto the news: a couple of weeks ago, the PKU-Yale program started on the 北大 campus just as it was expected to. My roommate is awesome–not only does he speak nearly fluent English, BUT, he is also a pretty cool guy. He’s teaching me slang non-stop, which is good for my Chinese. It’s definitely helping me do things (like actually understanding people) in ways that I would have never thought possible. In fact, it’s great to ask him random things like if something can actually be said in a sentence, which was something roommate’s at PiB just had no way to do. I mean, how is asking any old American how to use 反而 going to help my Chinese? ON TOP of that, I can learn sweet things like RP黑洞 (RP black hole, a person who has so much bad karma that he’s pretty much hopeless) and 豁然开朗 (achieving a moment of epiphany).

There’s so many random things to say, but I just can’t condense everything into a short paragraph. To do that would demerit any experience of its true effect. So, as a result, I am going to continue my blog from hereon as I did during the summer.
