Today i received a delightful letter from my grandmother. It was really sweet. People have really been blessing me a lot lately. I've realized that i'm in the transition stage again! i've been here six months now. so i'm here! haha... but now i get to get ready to go again. hm... what fun. it's quite worrisome(which it shouldn't be) and difficult to decide where i am going next year. It's REALLY hard trying to get everything in order from here. thank goodness the future of the world is not resting upon the shoulders of my decision making abilities. Thailand was very fun. Hard to upon me!! believe that it was my last time. gen n' i both got pretty sick. One week we watched the little kids. the other week we mostly just had fun with our chums. then this week we were at the bumringrad hospital in bangkok. woohooo.... so i got allergy tested again. This time they used the child allergy test on me(as they learned last time that i really don't like needles). hehe... it's really quite exciting! it was these little plastic rings that they stick eight of on you at once. it barely hurt, but i almost fainted anyways. agh!! i don't know why. so now i can eat rice! but i am supposedly allergic to salmon, apples, peanuts, soy, ginger..... hm.... i have been eating rice like crazy!!!! i love it!!!!! actually i don't...(shh! don't tell anyone! hehe) but, it's just so tempting since i haven't been able to eat it for so long! I also went to the dentist. it hurt alot and all they were doing was cleaning my teeth. =( Su Zhou(?) was really fun, really hard and really tiring. the hotel rooms were awesome!! it was like the nicest hotel i have ever stayed in!! i've stayed in a few.... haha! (we were in Su Zhou for a basketball tournament.) we came in fifth. it was crazy fun and HARD! we all came away with bruises(which made it even funner). it was partially female wrestling.... =D supposedly i was on the floor more than i was not. haha.... the floor is a nice place to be... =) and it's VERY lucky for my team that i am not a good shooter as i tried to earn points for another team. agh! i love basketball! haha. next up is soccer! =) tomorrow we'll hopefully see some of our dearest little chums here =).... and school starts again on monday. (my last semester of highschool! agh!!!) i'm gonna miss everyone a lot next year.... and i don't know what i shall eat... no interesting foods over there really..... maybe? i'm not ready to not be living in china yet. but i'm glad that my family shall still be here. OOOH! christmas with jimmee and anne was interestingly entertaining. We went to BeiJing which was fun. and we hung arround Qingdao for a bit. it was just nice to be on vacation and VERY nice to meet anne. she's really sweet.... we went on this insane tour to see the great wall again and saw the rising of the flag at tianamen!!! hehe.... =) needless to say the tour was our favorite type, starting earlyish in the morning. five or six or so!! haha... we also got to stop at a chinese medicine hospital, a tomb, a lunch place, a buddist monastery we weren't alowed to enter, have a few lovelyly heated arguments with our tour guide and altercations over the phone with the tour service annnnnnd then were dropped off after dark a km or so away from the subway upon the side of a highway. hm.... now THAT is what you call a lively tour. haha... the tombs were actually fun and it was the crassest tour guide i have ever had.... which made the tour ever so much more lively. hehe... also shopped in beijing and saw ruby n' chums n made new ones! hehe... THe TCK departure seminar was also great!! five of us, and two councelors, went to beijing for the seminar. it was soooo fun! saw old freinds and made new freinds. Also got to stay in a room with amy and graciepoo! whom i hadn't seen in ever so long.... we all went on the chocolate diet! (where you eat chocolate at every meal). it really works... you should see how our weight changed in even such a short time!! i think something else has happened between the last update and now but i really can't remember! i love you all! <3 gnight! OHHHH #2!! happy valentines day a bit ago to you all!!! pictures coming soon! haha... |
