i keep saying to myself "early september," and that sounds still far enough away, but when minyin pointed out that she is going on her rural rotation in two weeks, which means, now pay attention minzhi, that you are going to harvard in two and a half weeks, i had the shock of my life. i am packing, i am distraught, i am suffering from public transportation withdrawal before i've even got back to the us, and if anyone can recommend a good insurance policy that covers repatriation of remains and a reliable agent i shall be most grateful. aia used to do an overseas student assistance policy which included laptop loss and refund of percentage of tuition in case of death or withdrawal and air tickets for parents in case of hospitalisation etc. they seem to have discontinued it. i don't particularly want it but my father wouldn't let up until i sign one so.
