LO SMITH, Photography major, writes: Being back is nice. I like the fact that I can communicate with people and understand what's being said. When I got back it felt surreal to be back in my room, since I was on the go all the time. However, I do miss the good food and that our dollar over in China goes a lot further there than it does here. Shopping is a lot more fun too! It seemed that my x-mas vacation came and went. Part of me still wishes that there was more free time to sleep before my routine starts again. Oh well--later!
