oh my god, i am so glad that i don't have much time left working at this bookstore. today, they decided to leave the door open despite the intense humidity that developed after the rain, so now all of the covers of the expensive books at the front of the store are curled like the copy of little women i left out in the rain while i was at summer camp.
that said, it'll probably be a while before i give this blog a real update (the update it deserves), because i'm leaving for china in a week. this means i'm trying to make the most of my time in this country before i leave for an undetermined amount of time. translation: it's hard to write a blog entry while you're stuffing your face with hot dogs. i'll probably do a big sum up of the summer at some point, and from then on my blog will have a very different slant. but if you're interested in hearing about my life, or just curious about what the life of an expatriate living in Beijing is like, i hope you'll continue to read.
