Sorry Sorry!

I have been so majorly busy! Yesterday homework took me hours! But today there was less, soooooo I have a little time. But in a few minutes I have to go get my laundry with YouQi... even though we were supposed to be in bed 10 minutes ago... and GuWei isnt back yet... I'm worried....

Anyways! I haven't really done much cool stuff. Just hardcore learning Chinese. We have also learned some songs, martial arts, Go, paper cutting, and calligraphy! Some other stuff to, buuuuuuuut I don't have a lot of time... so quick quick quick!!!


My friend Stephanie and I have made a deal to learn 5 new characters a day!

Jai you!

Indiana

Okay, so this summer I'm staying in America, but with all the Chinese people here speak, it doesn't really feel like it.

So for those who don't know, catch up: I am currently at Indiana University - Bloomington attending a 3-week Mandarin intensive. Why? Because I'm crazy? Yeah... probably, but hey! I'm one step closer to my major I guess!

So after Indiana I fly from Indy to DC for the National Student Leadership Conference in DC and NY. . . . Yeah, crazy.

Today was interesting. I managed to find my way around the airport here and to my shuttle. The place I ate at the airport had both Korean and Japanese sodas (but it was Chinese food. . .). I was insanely proud that I could read the Hangul and some of the Japanese.

the shuttle was fine, until i started to get insanely tired... so I kind of let myself drift of for oh... about ten minutes, and then I just suddenly woke up and was right as rain... train naps have prepared me!

The shuttle dropped me off and then I had to find my dorm... I got lost... Very lost..... >< So lost that my arms had swollen by the time I could set my bags down.

And yeah.... I have sorta made some friends... classes are going to be intense. . . in fact, I think this will be it for the day so I can go study before lights out.

Much love~!
