The entire manufacturing floor has left and it seems like no one is in the office… great time to post. I would just go home for the afternoon, but let’s face it: I need the money. Plus, what am I supposed to do during the day… sweat?
You may have already noticed, but I added more pictures to my Flickr yesterday. They were the remainder from Beijing, the majority from Sha, and some (not taken by me) from my cousin’s wedding in Naples, FL. Here is a picture of Shanghai in case you don’t feel like going to my photostream.
I’ve been considering buying a camera and getting into photography, but I don’t really want to buy the camera. There are also about a hundred things I should buy before that which I don’t want to spend money on: some type of musical device to break the chilling silence experienced while driving in my car, a working air conditioner for a) my car b) my room, a motor for my car window that has not opened in six months, new car?, groceries (although I’ve eaten at home once since returning from Shanghai), an upgrade to this wordpress blog (although I am considering changing hosts – improving this one seems too time consuming – If I don’t switch, I promise I will do it however), my own address for the blog, classes or books or something to satisfy the extreme boredom I have being academically idle, and about 90 more that I’m too lazy to write out.
In other news, I have completed and handed in all materials for graduation. I believe I should soon be the proud owner of a bachelor’s degree, which due to credential inflation means very little (starting law school soon, however). Thanks for the congratulations everyone (everyone = my mom/dad, sister, a random VP at work, and an old friend from home who read my twitter status). I feel as alone in my moment of success as I did along the entire journey =P
I read a pretty interesting article from Fast Company today. If you’re half as interested in China as I am, check it out — “China Storms Africa” That’s about it for today though, I’m too lazy to write more. Enjoy your Independence tomorrow! In lue of this holiday, I may go to Brit’s Pub downtown tonight to celebrate America’s British heritage. Regardless, I am drinking Gin & Tonics – both for their British origin and for their ability to repel mosquitoes/malaria (…yes, I know the tonic isn’t like that anymore). I believe I will be down by Lake Calhoun tomorrow afternoon with friends (after working till 1ish… :/): text, twitter, or call me if you want to meet up. Hanging out by the water in the afternoon with a cooler and watching the fireworks over downtown sounds like a good 4th to me (although I’d rather be in Boston, of course). To my friends back in WI – enjoy the SheVegas festivities!!
