Hope for those afflicted with yellow fever
Me: Do you ever notice when guys are really into you because you're Asian?
AF: No.... Sometimes I forget I'm Asian.

Franny and Zooey — better than The Catcher In The Rye? Yes.
That is all. Carry on, world.
Of course Franny and Zooey is better than The Catcher in the Rye. Not that I don’t love Catcher. I love it, I do. But haven’t we all learned that the lesser-known works are (often) as good as or better than the star titles?

An assortment of things
I’m sorry the images didn’t work! You can see the actual post here.
I’ve settled into a routine of sorts here — go to class, go to the gym, read, go to pubs, sleep. Similar, more or less, to my routine at home. It’s strange how quickly things changed from “well, this is weird” to understanding. They give us sheets and sheets of things detailing the cycles of...

What I do.
I realize I’ve been shockingly lackadaisacal about posting, especially about posting “what I do” versus “random observations.” So here is a little bit about what I’ve been doing, not formatted in a bullet-list format. The first few days were spent being orientated and re-orientated. My memories of this week are pretty hazy, and not because of excessive...

Because I feel bad...
…for not posting any pictures of the city, here is the view of Arthur’s Seat from the entrance to my apartment complex (flat complex?). It is rather large and imposing. In a good way.
In Edinburgh
I’m sorry I don’t have pictures of the seven bazillion chapels or the cobblestone streets. I’ve only had my tiny camera on me, and I’ve been trying to avoid looking like a tourist. Maybe soon.
