more catch: birthdays

Mine (February 26) and then Carrie's (March 1) and then a dinner party at Lily's flat that wasn't really a birthday but felt like it anyway.

Also: the fog (both literal and figurative) that has been hanging over CUHK this past month-- from student protests over the impending drive to "internationalize" the campus (the sign reads: "Cry, Chinese University"), to the general February mist that shrouds our hillside.
