I've been here for over a month, and have been in school for about a month now. This week starting on Sunday (not Friday because we have class until Saturday) we get a week off until next Sunday for National Day and Mid-Autumn festival. There is a lot going on and there is also much to do!

This weekend we'll be going to a West China International Fair and then after that we'll be going to Emei Shan which is a gorgeous mountain covered with hundreds Buddhist temples and monkeys =P This place also has hot springs, waterfalls, reserves, museums, gorgeous mountains, and beautiful views of cloud tops. After that we might keep traveling around here in Sichuan just so we can see all these amazing places all around us.

You don't realize how HUGE China is until you hear how long it takes to travel to different parts of the country. It's a 22 hour train rain to get from this province to the one directly south of it.... O.O

Homework is now starting to pile up, and deadlines for senior year related things are also coming up soon. I am sort of freaking out but being in China is helping me cope with all the stress.

Apparently there is also a track meet for different teams (like nationalities and universities). Me and my friend are going to train for it, or make that our excuse/reason to get back into shape and be more healthy. We started yesterday, ran a mile with lots of sit up and exercises, but today I fell off because I didn't feel well. That end up happening here to everyone every once in a while. We all feel like we've gotten used to the food but then suddenly it kicks our ass and we can't eat for the rest of the day =S...

It's midnight now, so I better be heading off to bed so I can get a good nights sleep before tomorrow's classes. I've been very productive today and I'm proud of myself for studying and getting homework, intership and thesis related things done today. =D 晚安！
