To Do
I need to buy my plane ticket to China before prices get out of hand. I also need to tell my teachers that I'll be in San Antonio for Nationals from April 10 to April 14. It appears as though my propensity to procrastinate has returned with full force. This does not bode well for the last four weeks of the semester.
Speaking of China, I'm finally starting to realize just how easy it is to forget characters. Previously, I thought that a character, once learned, stayed in at least the subconscious forever. Regrettably, this appears not to be the case. I'm afraid of what will happen during the several weeks between the end of the semester and the beginning of the program in Beijing. Perhaps I should preemptively immerse myself in the language (i.e. visit Chinatown every day). We'll see.
In other news, Tim Be Told is incomprehensibly amazing. Thanks to the enthusiasm of Dan and Kevin, I bought their album on iTunes, and it turned out to be one of the smartest purchases of my life. I would highly encourage anyone reading this to listen for himself/herself and be blown away (fourteen times, for each of the fourteen songs on TBT's album).
With that, I end this disjointed entry and go to bed, where I should have been three hours ago.
