I get so tired at night. It seems to sneak up on me, too. Like I’m doing alright and feeling ok and then bam. I can barely keep my eyes open. I have a feeling it’s got to do with the time change. Last night I was awake until 2 am. That’s like 7 am China time. I then woke up at 7 or 8 am wishing I was still asleep. I’m excited to go to bed soon. I’m way too tired to stay up any longer.

I went to a meeting on Istiklal street tonight. It was a small meeting, but a really nice group of people. I think it’ll prove to be a great place for me. A girl from the meeting offered to take me to the government office where I can register my phone. I really appreciate her helping me with it. I don’t think I could navigate that on my own.

I’ve been coughing the past few days. I have to wonder if it wasn’t just my lungs clearing all the China crud out. I’m grateful I seem to be mostly through with that.
