I will attempt to write this entire post sans Chinese, because the constant Chinglish of my posts, while initially pretty cool, is now getting to me. I never really realized exactly how much I missed writing posts in English, healthy, pure, and sunshiny English.
Anyway, this afternoon, I had a very long, and rambly conversation with Delia while sitting at the sophomore table in the fish room. It was very reminiscent, and so refreshing—the main theme of our conversation was the things we missed about California. Never mind the fact that we were chattering happily away in what seems like rapid-fire English while everyone else around us gave us apprehensive looks—it was one of the best feelings I've had in such a long time, after feeling like the world is coming down on me since the semester started and not having enough room to breathe. I have also concluded that my English hasn't deteriorated since coming here; I still feel American inside and out.
Here's some of the things we talked about; the things I have to write down before I forget. Brace yourself.
