I want to take a short short second to acknowledge that this blog is an account of my totally subjective experience in Beijing. Some of the things I talk about I could be misunderstanding, and sometimes I could be completely wrong! I hate making generalizations (all Chinese do this, that, etc., all foreigners are like this), but it's easy to do in such a strange and new situation. So anyway I'll do my best to avoid generalizations, and give you the best account I can of my experiences. One thing that I think sucks about blogging is that there is no editor. So before you publish, no one tells you whether or not you sound like a jerk or you're full of crap or it's too long or you have grammar errors. You find that out after other people read it. And I am not the best at editing my own stuff. Okay disclaimer over.
Other than that--I was able to get out a little this week. I hung out with Yanan, the girl at the donut shop, and saw a couple of games of Paralymic soccer. I have pictures, but it takes forever to put them up and we have a test tomorrow I need to study for. So this weekend expect pictures and more fun times from your friend in Beijing, Jennifer S.................M...............

Jenn, Have done nothing but enjoy your blog. Not seeing the generalizations or whatever you are apologizing for. Keep writing. I love it!!!
oops that was me, not anonymous. got overzealous and sent without name.
If people get angry at what you say in your blog, they probably are (1) lame and (2) have too much time on their hands. That last sentence was kind of grammatically incorrect but I am too tired to change it.
"Okay"
Whether this word is printed as OK, okay, O.K., or O-K is a matter normally resolved in the style manual for the publication involved. Common style guides, such as Chicago, New York Times, etc., provide no consensus, nor do dictionaries.
I had to find something to put here.
;P
I'll certainly admit to having too much time on my hands.
