Update

So much time has passed and I still haven't gotten round to writing everything I'd been planning.

I graduated yesterday!! It was pretty surreal, more on that later when I have better pictures. I did write a post about general graduation-related sentiments just below.

Right now, I've been considering possibly all the career paths in the world. I'm not sure what I want to do, and to be honest I'm not sure I'm meant to know. But I want to seriously explore my options and carefully plan my next strategic move. What I know I don't want, is to find a job just to for the sake of paying rent, or find the generic kind of job that Chinese parents like to boast about. At the very least, I would need to want it for myself. My mum says that choosing your job is like choosing your husband - it effectively determines your lifestyle. My current problem is, I want the kind of lifestyle that no conceivable/realistic job can offer me.

In the meantime, there's still so much that I need to update on here.

I've yet to write about China, the amazing places I explored, the great people I met at Peking University and the life-changing Philosophy course that I took (Economics, not so much, apart from the farmer joke..).

Just to give you a taster, here's a link to my friend Chloe's blog. She's so bubbly and vivacious, but beneath her cute Taiwainese-like (okok she's from Changsha but still) mannerisms is someone who makes piercingly intelligent observations and writes with an impressive combination of force, clarity and style. She's just one example of why I loved my time at PKU.
