Good news
I just found out that I won the Yen Fu Translation Prize from the UW Chinese department. I won $750 for translating one chapter from Yu Hua's novel Brothers--and I was competing against grad students, too!
Also, I just finished my thesis (I'm currently trying to resist the urge to constantly keep revising it...), and I'm getting it printed tomorrow. I can't describe how much of a relief it will be to turn that thing in. I'll probably do some sort of absurd victory dance and hurt myself.
Speaking of hurting myself, I'm going to be competing in the Seattle Dojo Judo Tournament on Saturday morning. It's my first competition--wish me luck so that I don't get my ass handed to me!
