First Post

Many thanks to the Light Foundation for funding my language program this summer, and props to them for getting me to start a blog. I'm a slow writer... this first sentence has already taken me 10 minutes. No seriously. Food breaks are my bane! I don't understand why I'm not fat...

Anyways, as I'm sitting here during reading week with nothing else better to do, I've decided to write my first entry. This past week has been tremendous. JE Spider Ball on Monday, Spring Fling on Tuesday, the AASA formal Wednsday (and attempts to scale Saybrook tower which ended futilely because my butt couldn't fit through the window...), and the AASA basketball tournament today. I am thoroughly spent. Nevertheless, all the stress, excitement, and anxiety that I've recently experienced cannot compare to the whirlwind of emotions that I will succumb to in the upcoming week.

While the point of this blog is to relay my experiences as a student in the Duke Study in China program, I'd like to talk about a lifechanging decision that I've made today. Well that is after I get back from dinner at Pierson. Till then!!!
