Welcome to the Year of the Rat! Unfortunately, neither of our ratty pals could be with us this year. And since this is our first Chinese New Year as a married couple, that means no more red envelopes either – a double whammy! Nevertheless, we celebrated the holiday as usual, by mouth. This included both a Canto-style seafood feast on Friday AND an all-you-can-eat sushi buffet this afternoon. In fact, the ease of the month-long pharmacology course I’m taking has afforded me the ability to finally eat and sleep like the average Joe – maybe even a bit more than Joe. Even after writing my honors thesis, I still had enough time to beat Gears of War on hardcore level. Now, with a few large expenditures in upcoming months, I’ll hopefully find stuff to do that’ll be more remunerative than collecting ammo or star bits.
