I'm going to China!

A paper that I am writing with JD was just accepted to the International Sociological Association's RC-28 Spring meeting in Beijing. I'm psyched. Not only is going to Beijing awesome, but I will be able to visit my good friend Michelle. Yay. Also, this redeems (hopefully!) my previous disappointment over a trip to China. I was all prepared to visit Dani in Nanjing in 2002--I had the airline ticket and Visa ready to go. And then the Iraq war started. And then SARS hit. And my mom guilt-tripped me into not going. For which I was eternally bitter...until now. :)
