I haven't written in a while, but I guess I have an excuse. I've been a busy bee this semester and on top of that, my classes are a bitch, I'm working now, and I've been getting stuff ready for this summer and fall. My trip to Beijing is getting ever so close and all the preparations are finally getting done. I'm really excited, but at the same time pretty scared that I'll want to come back. There's no other place to be for school in my opinion. Today was CalDay and everytime I see people get together on campus to celebrate Cal, it makes me :) and really proud of the school. I love love seeing people so spirited and watching the band and all that jazz.
Today was extremely hot. I think I got 4 shades darker, thanks to spending 6 hours outside with the BUILD kids at CalDay. Little kids are so fun, so inquisitive! Hanging out with kids makes you realize how much you've grown though, you know? I feel like I'm so old when I'm with them. But to see them do the things you used to do, say the things you used to say, it's kind of scary. I don't want to grow up. In a month, I won't be a teenager anymore. That's so disappointing.
So I bought my plane ticket for Beijing, I'm leaving June 26 at 1:30am ya'll. Which means, I'm leaving June 25th. Everyone play with me before I leave okay? Luckily I finish school relatively early, so I have time to visit people in SoCal who can't come up, and I have time to play in Berkeley before I go too. No excuses! You won't see me for half a year. I don't want you guys to forget about me :(
74 more days until I'm off. I can't wait to live in Beijing. It'll be so different, so exciting. You know how when you're at home or at school, you have shops and restaurants and places you always go to hangout? I can't imagine being in an entirely different country and doing the same. I'm really scared I'll get lost wherever I go and even more, having people treat me crappy because I'm a foreigner. waiguoren! I really need to start brushing up on all the Chinese I've learned and reteach it to myself in simplified characters. Damn our Chinese department for teaching in fantizi! Oh well, I'm really proud of myself though, I'm learning a lot in Chinese. My sister even says that I've learned a lot for being in a first year course. That's good to hear. Oh! Speaking of Chinese class, gotta plan that dim sum trip in San Francisco again. That was bunches of fun.
I don't know why I chose today to blog. Perhaps cause I've been bored as hell this weekend. Oh well, at least I caught up (sort of) with my reading in Chinese lit. So proud of myself :)Labels: Beijing
