Well, well, well. I'm feeling somewhat better. My head and shoulders are achey, but otherwise I'm mostly well.

Classes are going headlong and harrowingly forward. The vocabulary is a tremendous amount of work, but I don't suppose one speaks the language without words to say.

I hope to go buy a bicycle today, and that will mean transportation! Hopefully it won't be too expensive-- a decent bike is around the $40 US mark. Insanely cheap by American standards, but I like it like that.

I'm out of school all next week for National Day, so that's pretty exciting. I hope that it is a relaxing time, and that I'm able to do some touring around Beijing.

More later, but I'm off to buy some wheels!
