how to stay sane.

When you find it impossible to sign up for classes and it's 2 days before said classes start - just take pictures of yourself myspace style in your advisor's office. Then giggle when he walks in on you smiling at the camera in your outstretched arm. He probably thinks you're crazy anyways, what's another thing to make him think that?

Then remind yourself that he's crazier than you for having "Learn Being Power Life" written on his office wall. haha, Chinglish.

When applying for a libary card, make sure to have a photoshoot on the spiral stairwell with your new library canvas bag. The natives will stare and laugh at you and you can remember the moment you became a legit, library card wieldin' citizen....

Make sure to visit the Sharing Project on your way out...

Then, as a grand finale to your day, wave a stuffed animal turtle around and have the turtle say words for a little Chin.ese boy to spell (of course in a special turtle voice). When he falls of the couch in a fit of giggles, sit him down at your desk and make him play bananagrams by himself for 30 minutes. After staring at the wall for 29 minutes, look down to see that he has only stacked up the letters "USA" 6 times and is pissed there's no more "A's"...


This was my day. I still haven't had success with registration, but there's nothing I can do, it's out of my control - so I'm trying to deep breathe and keep moving. It's just school.

I'd much rather be a vocabulary word spouting turtle anyways. USA!




walk slow. xoxo.

that reminds me of the youtbe video of the little kid in facepaint saying "I like turtles." Have you seen it? If not, do yourself a favor and YouTube it. xoxo, Ellie
