Random PS to Best Week Ever

Things that I just thought of that I can't BELIEVE I forgot to mention that contributed to making this the Best Week Ever:

- I sent in my absentee ballot and VOTED in the MA Special Election! For Alan Khazei, of course (endorsed by The Boston Globe, The Worcester Telegraph, General Wesley Clark, Mayor Bloomberg....alanforsenate.com...GO ALAN!).
- A letter arrived, snail mail, from my friend Sarah Diamond, meaning that I exchanged letters with someone from China! The process just took almost 3 months, no big deal...I sent her a letter in the beginning of September, it got to her at the end of October, she sent her reply then, it got to me at the end of November. I sent her a reply, we'll see how long that takes. I thought that was pretty nifty, so I'm sharing
- I had a CRAZY conversation with my tutor, and I don't want to repeat it here because, you know, I'm still in China and she's still going to be here when I leave. If you're a Chinese official and you're reading this, Hi! Let's just say it was really sensitive and interesting and her family has definitely been caught up in China's turbulent recent history, and she's definitely NOT the Western media assumption of a brain-washed, disengaged Chinese upper middle class young person. Nope. Not at all. I'm obsessed with her a little bit (which is good, it's probably a good thing she has a friend outside of China, just in case...or whatever).
OK. Now I'm seriously done. This has officially been the longest update ever. Goodnight!
