my biggest accomplishment today was finishing my statistics homework. i suppose it seems kind of insignificant to write about, but i feel like i ought to celebrate the little victories (or as the Pipe Organ voice of mac text-to-speech says, "we mu-u-ust rejoice in this mo-o-orbid voice"). like, last week, when i gave my oral report in chinese in the language typology/universals class. that was certainly an event. and today, i must say it felt rather novel, writing my name in chinese at the top of a math homework.
