Back in beijing, life seems alot quiter over here, its probably because i've been going everywhere with my parents...  all my friends are still in college, most of them get off in early july, i'll be gone by then, i might be able to see 2 of them though.  its bad timing this year, but at least in july ill be able to see annie and julia in germany, that will be a awesome trip! my visa is making some progress now, looks like it will all work out at the end.  

Finally finished the da vinci code, its a good book overall.  I liked the 1st half of the book, it kept me going. but the 2nd half, or more like the last 1/3 of the book bored me easily.  the code cracking got repetitive, i ended up skipping pages of that just to get to the result.  It's such a popular book now the movie is out, I saw about 5 or 6 people on the plane reading this book!  now i can finally go watch the movie.
