(and not a sigh of relief.)
i chose the picture you see above (that i took from the great wall in july) because it shows beijing in the hazy distance. it also shows the sky above beijing, in which we wish out plane was descending. this is kelsey's indirect way of saying that yet again, we were really anticipating a ta this week, and it did not come. this news has not gone over very well- we were really thinking we'd go before the end of the month. now we'll be lucky to have him by chinese new year (which sounds like a very fun time to be in china), which falls on february 18. perhaps mother will get to spend her birthday there. we shall see...
oh come quickly, eagerly anticipated next batch of ta's...
