Ohio

So I am in Ohio and being in Ohio means that the internet quits working randomly and then I have to restart the computer.
It also means I get to take my dog on walks, and catch up with old friends (one of whom kindly drove me back from the Greyhound Station) and of course spend time with my family.
I watched the Disney movie Mulan with my mom tonight while I studied Chinese. I forgot that I really like that movie! I know it is not historically accurate, but I wonder if it was well received in China anyway...Yao? Any thoughts?

In other news, I love the weather here and being able to see the sky from horizon to horizon without any hills. Not that hills aren't great, but Ohio summer sunsets are really really great. Also, you can see lots of stars at night.
I have been lazy and sleeping a lot. But, as I said before, I started studying Chinese tonight and I'll probably start packing (and continue a studying regimen) tomorrow. I know how to say I was abducted by aliens, which is pretty sweet: 我被外星人绑架过！or, in pinyin if you all want to give the pronunciation a shot: wo bei waixingren bangjiaguo!
And with that, I think I will go take the dog on a walk.
