Today was a good day. I took my midterm (I think I did well) and went to a shopping districts and bought 东西。(stuff). Now, I'm at the apple store listening to Kanye west and writing about my day. Now, there isn't much more time to write, but I'll say what I can. This weekend I'm going to the dandelion school, a school for middle-school age migrant workers' children outside Beijing, to spend the night and do community service. Tonight I'm going to finally decide on my own what I want to do (almost) with the other people from my city- we'll go and have dinner as well as talk to one of the major sponsors of the program about our impressions of Beijing and the program so far. I've almost been here for two weeks: Beijing put simply is hot, crowded, dirty, glowing, and noisy. A perfect chinese word for this is 热闹 (rénaó).

Hear from me soon.

P.S. I bought a router for $10 (cheap stuff in beijing, apparently.) Hopefully I'll install wireless networks in the place I'm staying by the end of this weekend.
