That’s my new axiom. hopefully it’ll keep me in the running here! i mean hey Gracie! you’ll never know when all the experiences in Kalimantan might come into play at a later stage in life! so ok, CHIN UP! THIS IS WORTH IT! PLUS i’ve lost some weight already due to the lack of appetite. (i have now come to appreciate the ability to hunger)

i’m off to read the book that chuan put together for me and try not to cry hahaha
