So I have been reading the Economist's Pocket World in Figures (really, it's quite interesting, if you are interested in that sort of thing), and apparently China consumes more rice than it produces. Isn't that totally bizarre? I guess not really. I guess I am just stereotyping here and when I think of China I see one giant rice paddy. Well I mean I don't really think that. I just think it's astounding that they eat more than they produce.
In other news, I go back to Princeton tomorrow, thank God. Although I think Ian might be the only one there.... Whatever. I will force him to hang out. In any case, this is my last night in Durham for many many months. In fact, I don't know when I will be back at all. If everything works out well, I plan on going straight from Princeton to London for the summer, so I won't be back until the end of the summer, when, presumably, I will stop by here before returning to campus. So mid-August.
Also, I did not do nearly enough paper writing over break. That is to say, I desperately need to figure out a thesis for my history paper. Because at the moment I have no idea what to do.
