So it's been a good news/bad news kind of day or two:

Good news: I got dustthouart's postcard from Taiwan! Which I can almost read without the use of a translation resource (naturally, one key character escapes me...)
Bad news: The postcard which I was planning to make and send her is now no longer possible to make. :( There was an interesting display in a Chinatown bookshop that she took an interest in, and well--that bookshop no longer exists.

Good news: My YesAsia orders came in! I'm only missing one COS single and one album now. :D
Bad news: They didn't ship me anything that my friend wanted to order. I was going to look for it at the aforementioned bookstore, but well...

Good news: I found The Time Traveler's Wife at the library.
Bad news: I also found A la prochaine fois at the library. How am I supposed to read both of them by the end of the month?

Good news: I am still going to my once-a-week French conversation class.
Bad news: I still think my classmates are WAY TOO OLD.
