When you don't seem Peeps and pastel-colored candy in every store front, don't have your parents constantly reminding you about going to church, and live in a country where the predominant religions are Buddhism and Taoism, it is REALLY easy to forget about Easter. So, today, I spent my day unlike most Easters...at home all by myself. I've been glued to my computer all day, first writing more grad school essays, and now writing an essay (in Chinese) about the causes of the current Credit Crisis. Last week for class, I wrote about the economic and social hierarchical classes found in Bolivian society. Saying that I feel overwhelmed as to how fast I am learning Chinese is truly an understatement. 9 months ago I couldn't even count to ten without messing up my tones. Now look at me go! As soon I finish my essays, which could take me a while, I plan to curl up with a glass of wine and my new book. Happy Easter to all!

So inspiring about the Chinese! I am desperately trying to speak fluent Spanish and I am not over the "it's really hard" hump.
