South of my house and north - all spring there is water.
Day after day I watch flocks of gulls return.
Fallen petals on my path are never swept for guests,
And only now is the thatched gate opened - for you.
Food so far from market must be simple;
The wine in this poor house is home brewed.
If you are willing, we'll drink with my old neighbor.
Let me call across the fence before we drain the last cup.
- Du Fu

Ladies and gentlemen, I signed onto Blogger to write a post and found a wonderful surprise: the comment board is finally working! So you're all welcome to send in your thoughts whenever you please.
I can't sleep so I'm going try and do a little post before heading off to bed. Tomorrow will be my third day at the Academy of Design and I am really looking forward to this semester. Monday's class wasn't my favourite (thanks to a small-minded teacher) but all was forgiven when I went to my Tuesday classes. The teachers today were great and I've already made some friends at the Academy so things are looking pretty good. Tomorrow I have my first 4-hour class of the semester. It should be interesting to see how we handle it considering we're all already up so early :)
Well goodnight everyone, until tomorrow.
