Down to business--

I wanted to let you all know that I got a new phone and phone number. I was able to buy it all by myself (no easy task!), and considering that I couldn't do that when I arrived, I'm feeling pretty proud. If my last phone number was lucky, my new phone number is pure evil.

13 666 112867. Mwahahaha! Try stealing this one!!

Also, there's news on the research front. If all goes as planned, I'll be attending a CSL class this Saturday.

I get October 1st through October 7th off. It's the National Day Holiday in China. On Friday I'll be heading to a local hostel to see if I can get tickets for a Yangze River cruise. If I can, I'll be spending my break seeing the three gorges. If I can't, I'll stick in and around Chengdu.
