This morning when I signed onto AIM, I received offline messages from my best friend! She's traveling in China right now and I miss her quite a lot.
Before she left I had asked her to buy me a giraffe stuffed animal... lol.

Li Ling (2:49:38 AM):[Offline IM sent 6h and 36m ago] so many golden retreivers here. afraid to pet. scared of diseases. pet a family friend one. so. cute. miss u lots. there are no giraffes in china.

:( aww, there are no giraffes in China.. lol.

So post-grad is kind of funny. I finally know what it feels like to be at home while all your friends traipse away. It gets lonely once in a while, but I'm hanging in there :P
