i think i've conquered jetlag! i returned to good ol' illinois about two days ago. it was weird being back. suddenly, public bathrooms looked welcoming, i didn't have to push and shove my way through crowds of people, and most of all...i came to discover how incredibly soft my bed was. mmm... i didn't wake up the next day till 5pm. yup, a day well wasted. i spent the rest of the evening lying weakly in front of the tv watching olympic highlights. yeah, jia you to the usa and china olympic teams. i woke up this morning around 7am or so. yeah, i was pretty proud of myself for doing that! it was probably my biggest accomplishment of the day. the battle against jet lag came shortly after that... i got through an entire without taking a single nap though! success - take that jet lag!
now, i can't seem to...fall asleep. =
