A Life Less Ordinary

I’m in that mood of a focused ADHD person. Oxymoronic, you say, but everyone has those moments where they are extremely focused on things they shouldn’t be working on and carefree about things they should be caring about. I’m collective a Hong Kong bucket list, thinking in Chinese, reading about bond prices, wishing I could fly, hoping for good weather, returning to Wikipedia, cursing our internet connection, watching Twins recaps, not studying history and singing along to that song of the moment I often find on iTunes, which happens to be “On the Wing” by Owl City at the moment.

This week is midterms for us and I don’t really care. That isn’t really an attitude I’m accustomed to, but when your Chinese professor gives you the exam ahead of time and the finance professor tells you the project at the end of the year is explicitly for you to gain points lost on the midterm, your caring-o-meter has a knock for nosediving. However, I am thrilled to say that my mom and Jeff are arriving tomorrow night. I know they’re both excited, as am I, and they both deserve it. I’m so grateful to be able to host them and I hope they both enjoy their time here. It also means that  I wont’ be posting with a lot of regularity, so sucks for you Caroline.
