Chinese New Year: What I Wanted, What Was Going to Be, and What Will Be

What I Wanted: To go to Hong Kong to spend Chinese New Year the right (read: traditional) way: ringing in the Year of the Rabbit with family!

What Was Going to Be: To go to Pingyao on a trip organized by my study abroad program.

What Will Be: Sitting in the hospital, attached to an IV of penicillin to cure my damn sinus infection.

Woe is me. Although I did get to spend Chinese New Year Eve setting off and observing fireworks with friends while we roamed the streets of Beijing, so that’s something.

Happy Year of the Rabbit, everyone!
