http://www.worldtourtm.com A harrowing account of the day-to-day adventures of our intrepid traveller, Clara, as she journeys the world...

Just really freaking crazy. I've been in this continual state of mild to moderate stress (with occasional bouts of freaking out) since March and now that things are beginning to settle down, I don't know what to do with myself. Urumqi is definitely nothing like we imagined. Even ... http://www.worldtourtm.com/2008/05/04/touching-on-things/ Today we're at Arsilan Aka's place. It's one of the houses here in Urumqi that we can get reliable web access, though we still haven't figured out how to get the internet to work on our own computers. It's a little annoying, but this will have to do for now. I do have ... http://www.worldtourtm.com/2008/02/17/43/ It's absolutely amazing. It's only been 3 days and we've experienced so much. Being with this much family is incredible - all these people are related to me. The concept is almost incomprehensible to me, a girl who's only known 3 family members for my entire 22 years of life. I don't ... http://www.worldtourtm.com/2008/01/24/were-here/ 2008 already, unbelievable. We went to the New Years party, which started out kinda slow but turned out to be really fun overall. It was great to be able to see everyone one last time before I leave on the 22nd (only 19 days left, OMG!). It was especially nice to ... http://www.worldtourtm.com/2008/01/03/happy-new-year/ This is a test post to see if "ScribeFire" works the way it's supposed to. If it's as cool as it seems to be, this thing is going to make my life so much easier when I'm abroad. http://www.worldtourtm.com/2007/12/16/testing-out-scribefire/ Today I attended the last classes of my undergraduate college career. I thought I'd feel sad about it or something, but no. I feel lighter than air. Seriously, with all these crazy group projects and term papers and final presentations - they squeeze every ounce of joy and goodwill towards school ... http://www.worldtourtm.com/2007/12/11/last-day-of-classes-ever/ This is an "aside." It's a little mini-post that I can put here outside of the regular blog hierarchy. How neat is that? http://www.worldtourtm.com/2007/11/17/cool-much/ I've been playing around with wordpress for the past couple of days (yes, instead of doing the schoolwork that I'm desperately behind on). There are several changes that I want to announce, even though I'm pretty sure I've mentioned most of them already over the past couple of posts. Countdown. I've added the countdown widget ... http://www.worldtourtm.com/2007/11/13/widgets-and-things/ .flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; } .flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }Camira & I went ... http://www.worldtourtm.com/2007/11/12/nyc-though-flickr/
