when do I get my adult certificate?
Places in Beijing have been closed for the last month and just started opening up again. As I live on campus at school I am under a slightly different set of rules for coming and going. I can leave anytime, but returning to school is problematic during Covid Times (TM). Considering I don’t want to…
Yup, things sure are happening. Spendings Report: $4,208 Taxes and tuition! In. The. Same. Month. So much pain. All else as usual.
