*The little things in life...*
Oh the joys in discovering the little things in life that just really make you feel good about yourself...
I FINALLY have my own box at school. Yeah, you're probably thinking "so what?"... It's a big deal for me, because it cements the fact that I'm really here and I guess it confirms my being a member of the program. It's pretty cool seeing your name on the box and picking up papers "for your perusal" and other documents that pertain to your coursework... Yeah, I know I'm shallow... but hey... I've never been seen as an "intellectual", so it really is a big deal for me that I've made it this far, academically.
I'm starting to get used to the routine here, and I'm not stressing SO much... Still stressing here and there, but I think I've learned to just take things a little easier so I don't blow a fuse.
The 'rents still aren't back from their "mid-life crisis trip". It's their 25th anniversary this year, and for some reason, my mum really wanted to do the Silk Road. So last week, they packed their backpacks (can you imagine my parents with backpacks?? I can't) and they set off to trek across western China on Camel back. Oh-my-gosh... I still can't figure out what made them decide this would be "the" trip to go on for their second honeymoon. Oh well... as I always say - "Chacun a son gout".
Must plod on... lots to do... Despite the pile of work I have to plough through, I have a smile on my face... Oh the little things...~
