I am sick. Blech. Ew. It's the first time I've been sick away from home, and I miss my daddy. :( He just called me though and is convinced I'm dying of swine flu, which is pretty hilarious. But yes. I miss my daddy making me food and making me drink tons of water and reading to me while I lay in bed. Hmph.

WOW it's been a long time since I posted. Bad Elaine!!

I finally got my package from home today containing my long-awaited contacts. However, my dad had asked me before sending it, "Do you want all of them or just half? It's a year's prescription, but you'll be back before then anyway." It made sense, so I agreed. When I received it though, I realized that "half" to my dad meant... all the lenses for the right eye. Boo!!!

We celebrated Chinese New Year yesterday with lots of Chinese food followed by chocolate fondue. It was amazing. I ate too much food. Way too much. I made noodles with tomato and eggs, cucumber salad, and string beans. I was kind of miffed the night before when I called my family, from California to China, and everyone was having a great time celebrating. My dad was hanging out with Kathleen and I wasn't. My grandma sent me tons of pictures of them celebrating. My mom and the six other people I talked to at her party (all family members) all described exactly what they were eating in gross detail. But on Sunday, my wonderful friends made up for it.

In class today, Professor Rosbottom compared Montaigne to "Twilight." It was terrifying.
