:: Pedantic Platitudes ::
Greetings! My name is Sam J and I am a student at Harvard University. Perhaps this blog will present a little look into the mundane yet unique events that make up my life.

Happy Chinese New Year! Per tradition, I handed out "red envelopes," which contain a monetary gift, and wore new clothes. By coincidence, the new sweater I wore was red, which is the traditional good-luck color for Chinese New Year. I also hung up red banners proclaiming good luck for the new year around my dorm. I hope everyone has a healthy, happy, and prosperous new year! Gong Xi Fa Tsai!
I've spent most of today writing thank-you cards to my relatives in Taiwan. I wanted to get them all finished by five in the afternoon and mail them before the post office closed, but it turned out that the post office had closed at three in the afternoon! Oh well; I'll have to mail my cards on Monday.
Now, I am in the process of cleaning up my room, which in the course of a semester, has accumulated quite a bit of clutter. It shouldn't be too massive of an undertaking; I should finish in time for bed.
