News out of China

I currently have six papers “in progress.” I’ll be starting a seventh paper tomorrow.  Without finishing any of the others.  Some are for a prof I have yet to meet.  Some are for a prof that looks for highly analytical writing and insights.  Some are for a prof that wants us to tap into our experiences and synthesize with metaphor and emotion.

Scatter brained.  That’s me right now.  So I will leave the profound insights to others. For those interested in China, here are two recent articles that you may want to look at.

#1: An insightful article from CNN on the post-90s generation in China.  This article gives a good glimpse at the generation I’m working with.  Of course, it involves some generalization, but it does a good job at showing some of the struggles and issues this generation is coping with.

#2: A helpful article from NPR on the Body in China.  Our American interpretation of what the Body is like in China is sometimes quite limited and a bit skewed.  This article isn’t the whole picture either, but may help to clear up some misconceptions.

Soon to come: the stories behind almost missing the wedding this past weekend twice.  And maybe even some more pictures.  But that’s only if the words for these papers flow quickly from my brain to the keyboard.
