It's gonna be another hot day

 I woke up around 7am. Typical Chinese bed. Really really hard.  It’s literally just a box spring. There is no padding at all. Sar would have had a heart attack. Luckily, I liked hard beds so it wasn’t horrible. I wanted to get a pillow top cover, but it felt really good on my aching lower back.  I ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for breakfast.  HIS put some food in the fridge. I have mangos, apple, oranges, plums, milk, OJ, break, corn flakes, peanut butter, strawberry jelly, 2 jugs of water, and various teas and coffees. I’ve been chugging water since I got here. YAH for my new water bottle, which has so come in handy. That thing has been my BFF.

A New World Call Across the Ocean (Journey to China) 7/27-7/28

 I am in China. It took a really LONG time and I’m exhausted, but I’m here.

One day more.....

Not even one day more. More like 12 hours!!!! It's 8:03pm. At 8:15 am, I'll be flying out of Orlando to Detroit. From Detroit, I'll hop on a plane for 13 hours, making my way towards Beijing. I'll arrive at 2:15pm, which is 2:15am EST. I have about a 4 hour layover, which is good because I hope (fingers crossed) that I can do customs in Beijing. At 7, I'll take my first Chinese airline to Hangzhou. I get in at 9pm.

Another suitcase in another hallway.

Since it's almost midnight, I can officially say, or freak out: 2 DAYS!!!!

Not a day goes by. Not a single day. And you're still part of my life. And it looks like you'll stay.

Saturday was a week til I leave. I had my last hoorah with all of my girl friends. It was very bittersweet.

"Will you miss me when I'm gone?" Meh, prolly not. . .

The last girls' night in my house, my friends thought it'd be fun to make a list of all the things I won't miss. Here's what we came up with. Feel free to chime in with more!
