Getting organized for the East

Today--now that I finally have DSL--I've begun to transfer some files about travel in China to delicious.com to my account there so that I can locate them quickly. As I shifted some, I was amazed at how many I had already managed to collect! The New York Times travel section has been especially helpful. Next I'll need to go back and re-read all of the articles and make some notes.

While I'm eager to immerse myself in the research and notetaking, today is probably not a good day. Another migraine has struck, this time with accompanying nausea. I'm excited about being able to do so much more and so much faster with DSL, but I just don't feel good. More than anything else, I need to transfer all of my Favorite Places to bookmarks in delicious.com, and that process will take some time. Once I complete that, I can cancel my AOL account, and will I ever be glad to be rid of it! I do, however, have so many files that it will undoubtedly take time to make the transfer, but once done, I think that all of the information will be better organized and more accessible, especially the files I need for school.

I also checked the time and temperature for Beijing today, and I discovered that the time difference is 12 hours. Predicted high for today is 101 F. Whew! I knew it was going to be hot, but this hot?
