I really didn’t feel like logging into this for an update tonight, but I’m trying really hard to get back in the habit of doing one every day again because I think it was really helpful. I guess I’ll just keep it short tonight.

I had a nice day with my parents. We went to Tianyi Library in Ningbo. I’d never been there, but it was very interesting. I actually hadn’t quite realized how much historic shit there is to do in the city. I have a few more things I’d like to check out before leaving in May now. I’ll have to get on that.

My sex drive was a bit dormant for a while, but it seems to be coming back. I think this is good. I don’t really want to hook up with people so much. I’d really like to go on some dates and just see. I think my general level of horniness may override my dissatisfaction with my body and allow me to get naked with someone. It’ll definitely be good motivation to eat right and continue getting adequate (or more) amounts of exercise. I’d like to be in a better position body image wise when I get to Istanbul so I can hit the ground dating. Yay!

Last day with the parents in Ningbo tomorrow. It’s going to be really, really strange when they leave.
