It has been a long time!

I am not sure who checks my blog anymore given that I haven't been logging on for the past three months, but for those of you reading this- welcome back:)

I have had a crazy summer: a month and a half in California followed quickly by two and a half weeks in China. And now I write from Kingston- my university town. Sigh...life sure is boring here, but I guess it is nice to lie low for a while.

I have decided on my fourth year honors professor. I have chosen Prof. Wynne-Edwards, who studies hormones in hamsters. I think it will be fun.
For those of you who didn't know, I was originally with another prof, with whom I was doing the field work actually, however it became clear to me over the summer that the project didn't suit me very well. Therefore, right before coming home from China, I set out looking for a new professor, a new project. I am pretty happy with this choice and I start on Monday.

Other then that is there anymore news with me? Well, I do feel changed after my trip to China. I am not sure what it is but I feel like a different person, a little more cultured, and a little more proud of being chinese perhaps. I definitely plan on going back sometime soon. The trip has even inspired me to learn mandarin, which I will look into when I have a chance.

I think what has dawned on me recently is that I really have no idea what I want to do with my life, where I want to be next year and what my plans are. I am already in fourth year university! It is a scary thought because I have not looked into any grad programs yet or any professional schools. It seems that I was so preoccupied this summer that the responsibility of it all just slipped away. Maybe I was relying too heavily on medical school to come through like it did with Simon and Justine. But this does not seem likely and I need to be realistic about my future goals. But what do I want to do? Does anyone know?
