This week was a pretty standard week. The semester begins tomorrow, so I just relaxed this weekend. The friends I'd normally see on weekends were all busy this week with various things, so I've just been keeping to myself.
My adviser gave me some readings materials, which I'm pretty excited about. Two books about early Chinese literature (in English), two books about Script Writing and Classical Chinese (in Chinese), and finally one book about the history of Chinese literature (also in Chinese.) I'm averaging about 1 page per hour. That's up from one paragraph per hour, which is where I was when I got here!
Classes begin this week. Monday I'm taking a class on "The Literary Theory of Carving Dragons" （文心雕龍）. Then Tuesday I'm taking a language class. Finally, friday I'm sitting in Dr. Chen's Classical Chinese course. Looks like this semester will have me back in the classroom, rather than the office. Honestly, I like that better!
Oh, and the New York Jets are going to the AFC Championship!!!
