Quick update:
I'm alive.
I just got back from Yuncheng, Shanxi province where I carried camera equipment and shot on a Canon SLR for two days as my boss interviewed aging Chinese men. We were searching for the final resting place of an American pilot who had crashed in the village in 1945. For more information about the pilot's life you can look here. I'll probably make a more detailed post of our trip, including links to the Chinese newspaper coverage.
I marched in a parade today during the opening ceremony of the school's track and field meet. I was the only American. They gave all the students from the international education college a flag to wave, and I kept mine in my pants so I could have free hands to shoot pictures and hold my water bottle.
I just got done texting a girl in Chinese whom I'm going to a jazz club with tonight.
Next week I have midterms for my Chinese classes. If the grading empasis is on correct use of varied gramatical structures and speech tone, I will do fine. If they stress fluency and ability to carry on a conversation, I will do poorly.
Today's visibility: over one kilometer
