Took me thirty minutes at the post office today to finally send a precious piece of cargo to a Ningbo friend that happens to be in the UK right now. Post is just too expensive nowadays: I was given a choice of paying 23$ for my package to get there between 6-8 weeks (no guarantees) or $48 for my package to get there in around 2 weeks (no guarantees either). I don't understand how people can 'send Christmas parcels' to family around the world still. I bet paying for post is probably already more than the present itself. Thank God for online sites where shopping is a click of a button away and delivering within the US is free.
Today I managed to finish 2 out of 10 articles that I have to analyze by Friday. It's not much compared to my usual working speed but given my newly picked up habit of slacking and lack-of-motivation, I guess it is something.
