Rambles 'n updates pre-WSOP

I've been back in North America for roughly two months now and as usual there's never a dull moment. Since then, I've readjusted to Westernized living, went on a road trip with my sis, lost some friends while reconnecting with old ones, and got all my accounts hacked, all while attempting to study for my next CFA exam in June and preparing for the world series.

China seems like a blur now, and I still miss a lot of it, but am having trouble remembering why. That's a characteristic about myself I'm not crazy about. I can connect and disconnect with people and places so easily it almost seems rather superfluous. Besides basic necessities, I feel as if I can adapt to anything and nothing really phases me anymore. This isn't to say I don't appreciate what I have or I won't miss something if I were to lose it. Some may regard this as being jaded, but I'd like to think that this is what makes me very human. After all, isn't it our skills in adaptability that makes u more advanced than all the other species?

Anyhow, so Anny and I took a road trip to Montreal so she could visit the McGill campus and make a more educated decision on what college she should attend next year. Unfortunately, I left my blackberry on the stupid bus and have been playing phone tag with them ever since. This may or may not be a good thing since I don't feel very social these days anyway. I remember when I was still in school I used to adore Montreal so much. I thought it was vibrant and eccentric, and had a lot more character than plain old Toronto. On this trip however, my sister and I agreed that the city appeared to be pretty trashy overall. Funny thing is, I don't think it's the city that changed. Anyhow, I hope Anny ends making a solid decision for her future, so I can start supporting it, whatever it may be.
