I'm still alive (and a shout-out to Momsy)

As has been the trend this semester/year, distractions, busyness, and a general sense of contentment and fatigue have kept me from this place I used to frequent oh-so-much. A distraction is coming in the form of a, well, friend, and between playing baseball (I'm now an official member of the Jinshitan Jays, and have been starting at 3rd or 1st base the past few games) and practicing for volleyball and running tutorials and organizing my badminton club, I haven't had a tonne of down-time. And it's finally spring! And I'm only 7 weeks to Canada! So much is happening and there's so much to think about that, at the end of the day, neglect you (4 or 5) dedicated readers of my life.

I also just returned from a fantastic little vacation to Korea, and since returning I keep thinking to myself (a la Liz Lemon), "I want to go to there," again. Clean, fun, coffee EVERYWHERE, and some amazing entertainment at the baseball stadium (two games and the best fans ever) made it a destination I want to return to. Who knows... maybe even as a place of employment.

For the timebeing (knowing full-well that it's a few hours too late), I just wanted to wish my mom, Gran Mrak, Grams Miller, and all the other amazing women and moms I know that they're awesome... Happy Mother's Day!

Now, though, I must dash. More soon (I promise)... from your deadbeat but upbeat friend from across the street (and across the pond).

Much love from Chinaland.
