Actually, I have been back longer than I was away.

Time has flown by, and little progress was made on the project during fall quarter.  My main preoccupation has been to attempt to keep my hard-won language skills from completely fading away.  This past week has seen a renewed attempt to simultaneously get work on the project done and practice my Chinese.  I feel that I am starting to get a little bit of momentum now.

If you are visiting from China, please stand by for a summary of my visits to provincial libraries.
