well i figured when i got home that i'd have the time, energy, and desire to write a long, meaningful final post, sort of like clark's opening post. i was wrong. time i do have, but energy and desire, not a bit. the time change hit me pretty hard. i'm basically passing out around 10:00 pm, which is good for work i guess but cuts out the amount of time i have to write the only kind of post that would do this blog justice. one that would stand the test of time and make you laugh and cry.
so i'm not going to do that. instead, i'm just gonna say, this is it, the end, nothing more is coming, even from clark or durrell, neither of whom i'm sure still exist. anyway, i went to this cool little web site (http://www.texone.org/tree) that turns url's into trees, and made one for this blog. a fitting last picture, i think.
tada! i hope you all enjoyed the blog as much as i enjoyed using it to forget that i was in china while writing. let me know if you want to see any pictures.

I never bothered to post a commetn before, because I had nothing to add to any of this blog's posts. I simply enjoyed reading them. I discovered your blog about three months ago; by accident, really.
Well, it was fn to read. It's too bad it petered out and became a one-man-show, but it was still an enlightening read. Now the show's over, and as a regular reader I wish it wasn't this way.
Maybe you can keep the blog up and just post brief updates on your Chinese studies, as you wrap up your University studies? Even if it's only quarterly and a few lines, it'd provide closure to an interesting account of some students who spent time abroad in China. As far as I know, this is the most successful blog to attempt that (others peterd out much too fast, and then there are others that were poor to begin with and sloppy and never made it further than the first or second month).
It's selfish of me to make such suggestions but contrary to the handful of references that were made on this blog - that no comments meant "no readers," that wasn't the case.
So, here's your first comment to commemorate the life - and, now death - of this blog.
Good luck and godspeed.
