Now that I am living in Hong Kong and studying Chinese, there aren't very many exciting things to write on my blog! I think I have hit a wall with the Chinese thing...I never want to look at another character again and I dread going to school every day. It is becoming so tedious! Plus, I feel like I am wasting my time since I never get a chance to practice speaking to anyone. Kelly has a tutor that she practices with, but that costs 50 US dollars per hour, and I refuse to pay that. I guess I was spoiled by Beijing, where you can get a tutor for under three US dollars and hour.

Other than that, not much is new. I have had a mini breakthrough in yoga, which was exciting for me but probably not for anyone else! I can do headstand against a wall, but not in the middle of the room. On Monday, the class was so full that I couldn't move to a wall, so I tried it in the center. It was a really intense class, and I think I was too tired to be afraid...so I popped myself up in the headstand, and comletely fell in the opposite direction, onto my back! Yes, this sounds bad...but actually I think it is a good thing. It didn't hurt at all, and now I can get over my fear of falling. I am horribley afraid of falling, as anyone who has skiied with me would know!
