Long time no type.

Huh... It has been two years since I last looked at these posts. Talk about angst. Phew... I know I am the only one that will come back to this and read again, probably in another year. Or maybe I will use this blog to write of my next two years living in China. It would be a good way to juxtapose what time does to someone. How one changes. Change always feel small and insignificant like a single rub to the eye. Yet, many rubs later, you may see life completely different. So, to catch myself up, I am currently a senior now at the University of Tulsa. I am graduating in four short weeks. It has been a harrowing four years with lots and lots of growing done. I have been living by myself with my cat, Sammy, for the past 3 years. I will be leaving in 3 months for Yunnan Province, China. It hasn't quite hit me yet that I will be leaving for two years to live in another country. It never really hit me last year either until I landed in Beijing. I was in Xi'an, China for six months to do my study abroad. I hope this is truly a little secret in the big world wide web and no one reads this. It would be nice to have a small corner of my internet to myself. As my Chinese professor told me my first year in language class, "Act as if you are standing alone by the shore and the unassuming waves in front of you are the only audience... speak! Speak as loud as you care to without any inhibition!". What a statement. What imagery. I like living life in imagery, it's almost better than seeing. Well, I am guessing time will tell if I actually pick this up again. Otherwise, see you in two years.
