A Travelogue and (occasional) Sketchblog
…everything is so freaking hard here. Not that I didn’t bring it on myself knowingly coming to a relatively remote city. Nevertheless, the circumstances that keep getting in my way are particularly… I don’t know, it’s like someone’s actively seeking to thwart me.
Strawberry/Grape/Cherry/Tomato juice. The jury’s still out on this one.
I’m a bit wiped out today, so I can’t talk in depth about the stuff I saw in Wuhan. My picture captions (memories on demand!) will have to do for now. This week? Well, it’s gonna suck until its over, and then a new set of suck [...]
For simplicity’s sake, this is a two part post.
First, as promised – here are some photos of my “new” apartment. New, of course, when I took these pictures several weeks ago. And by several weeks, I mean about three weeks ago, almost.
So here I am, five weeks later, in my apartment.
More to come soon. I am exhausted.
So I’ve moved into the position where counting down the hours until I move into my apartment is not an unwieldy, triple-digit task, but actually somewhere under 36 hours.

Today’s the butt-end of a tripleheaded class schedule – three days of class in a row. I’m exhausted, burnt out, and I [...]

This is rough. I’m trapped in a foreign country where the only people who speak my language are either leaving in two weeks or… lascivious, philandering, lecherous, boozehounds. I woke up especially depressed this morning – here’s my story!
When I first arrived, as some may remember, my manager was completely [...]
So that horrible mood I was in yesterday on account of feeling isolated, lonely, and bereft, as well as feeling quite like the dictionary definition of the term “jerked-around” has changed. It has, over the course of sleeping last night, metastasized into a full blown, inky, sticky depression.
