All in all, a good Saturday so far. Now I have an entire evening before me, and I have to figure out what to do with it. The good student side of me knows that she needs to spend tonight researching how protectionism in the Chinese economy is affecting the American economy. The side of me that has done homework all day and is a bit over it thinks it would be way more fun to curl up with a good book and save the research for tomorrow. The novelist in me wants to work on the story I've started, and the Wanderlust-filled me wants to research trips to London so Mom and I can spend a week there next year.

I think I'm going to start by eating dinner and reading the book I'm in the middle of (James Clavell's Noble House: an enthralling look at one week in the lives of corporate tycoons in 1960's Hong Kong). If I get inspired, then perhaps I'll work on the novel a bit more. Tomorrow I'll research the Chinese economy, and when I need a break, I'll look at airfare to London.

(Brad's out of town. Can you tell?)
