Blog Fail.

I'm really sorry that I've been completely failing at posting these last few days. I've been working like crazy.

When you're doing media work full time, it's hard to think about anything else.



Working full time on stuff like this is new for me, and I'm usually too tired to do anything after I get off (at 1am or 3am or whenever we finish) to do anything else.

It's a really big shift going from setting up cameras to thinking about the Drum Tower in Xi'an (that's what's pictured here).

I know it's not really an excuse, but I promise that I will be updating from time to time on here.

My dad said that the hardest part about blogging is "feeding the machine" - it's true. If I was a "professional" blogger that was paid, I'd definitely be able to write daily, but since I'm just a recent college grad working a freelance video job, it's tough.

But still.....though I'm busy, any time that I'm not at work or sleeping, I'm thinking about China and what kind of stuff waits for me upon my return.

I've got this application for the Peace Corps, but inexplicably it just keeps sitting here waiting to be submitted. I've done all the major things; I just have to tweak some stuff and it'll be ready.

What I'd really love is to go back to Lanzhou and take my family with me - I think that'd be really interesting. Sometimes they'd love it, and sometimes they'd hate it, but it'd definitely be fun for me!

Until next time - much love,
