I'm just going to take this as a compliment...?

So arrived back in the states a week ago and have some updates from the 10+ weeks in Asia, but first an interesting scene from Wellesley:

I was helping this first year delete uninstall some program and was stumbling around her computer because it was 1) Vista and 2) in Korean. Anyhow, to distract her from my utter confusion over where everything was and which buttons said what ( (C) is continue, not cancel, btw) I was making some smalltalk and mentioned that I had been in China this summer.

"Beijing?"
"Yeah."
"So, you're Chinese?"
"Yup."
"You don't look Chinese."
"...? So, what do I look like?"
"Japanese maybe? Not Chinese. I have a lot of Chinese friends. You don't really look Chinese."
"Oh..."
"It's a good thing."
"Oh..."

I've decided against over-analyzing this.

Homemade Ginger Snaps!

Nom!

Munchkins!

Best part of taking 8:30 HelpDesk shifts to make sure you're awake on days that you have no class (other than when you go back to sleep after those shifts half the time). It's sort of curious why they're still using the Christmas boxes, but whatever!

Why I can't help you when you call the Help Desk

Spent today's Vista training watching Eddie Izzard
