I sincerely apologize that it has already been two weeks since my last post. However, school over here is more time consuming than you would think. I know some study abroad programs allow you to be in class for a couple of hours and then give you time to go out and explore the country you are studying in…well here we spend from 10-2 or 10-4 in class (or the occasional days from 10-8), and then to the complete the day around 6-7 hours worth of homework. Also for the past few weeks I got some sort of bug, so having to attend class and deal with that has been quite a difficult task.
However, this weekend is China’s National Day Holiday. So we all finally have a chance to relax. I was planning on going to Xi’an by myself for this break, but because of this bug I thought it best to not go. So I will spend the next 5 days running, eating fruit, and getting to relax for the first time in almost 5 weeks! Another interesting thing that has been going on is that my parents sent me a package almost three weeks ago now…well it was supposed to been delivered to my university last Friday. Well it arrived in Beijing last Thursday, but Customs did not want to release it to me (even though my parents filled out the customs form). So after multiple phone calls in both countries, multiple emails…according to the UPS office in the States my package has been released, well here it is a week later. no package. Also currently right now I am downstairs in the lobby, creepily stalking the office in which the packages are received at our university. Well the office just closed down, so I guess the earliest I might see my package is next Thursday. I am going to KTV tonight with some friends from MIC. I will update more on the past two weeks tomorrow. For now, auf wiedersehen.
