Self-deprecating post

Didn't you think that riding your bike across campus with another student and your professor was just something that happened in Berkeley, CA in the 1960s or in a movie (probably about Berkeley, CA in the 1960s)? WRONG!

Yours truly here did precisely that today at about 1215pm after Advanced Finance ended. My classmate Laura, Prof. Wingender, and myself all pedaled leisurely across campus discussing school, current events, personal lives, etc... After a few minutes of pedaling and chatting it hit me as to what exaclty I was doing. I wanted to giggle during the rest of the ride, but I refrained.

It would have been awesome if the professor was smoking a pipe and wearing a corduroy blazer with suede elbow patches and a bowtie, but he wasn't.

Still feel free to make fun of me... I know I've already made fun of me for it today.

Finally, if anyone cares the Chinese government officially recognizes me a temporary resident. I don't think I care, so really why should anyone else.

Sounds like middle America in the 1950's to me!!

Glad the Chinese govt knows you're only temporary!

Hey john-sounds like a great time. I will enjoy vicariously experiencing China this summer! I am printing a couple of blog posts to show Nana/Grumps!
