(no subject)
The other day I was attempting to be good and study- outside...then something bit me and it felt like I was being pricked by thorns, so I ran up to my room and took a shower to make it stop, but it still kept feeling like prickly things stuck in my legs and now there are (still) red mosquito bite looking things on the tops of my legs! and I sort of started getting scared b/c at first I was thinking it was a biting ant, but then the welts made me think it had to be something else...so maybe it was poisonous? It was weird to think that if I was bitten by something poisonous here I'd probably just die b/c I wouldn't know where to go to get help! awesome! ...anyway, I took the biting thing as a sign that I should stop studying....and I think my final was fine!
Young, James, Katie and I watched American Psycho Tuesday night and it was creepy...I think it may have scarred Young for life- we said something about porno b/c in the first min. of the movie you see a naked butt and she asked what porno was, well porno shows up later in the movie so I could easily point out an example...she covered her eyes during most of the porno type scenes- she was really embarassed!
It's strange to me that she's older than I am, but so more innocent and naive...I feel like I'm a bad influence on her b/c I often feel like she looks up to me. She's always saying my outfits are cute and once she asked me how I stayed so fit and what I ate b/c her and her friends think I have the perfect body (yet she is a few inches taller and probably the same weight) Anyway, it's hard not to think of her as being really young (guess her name is perfect)
I've been learning a lot about China and it's really neat learning about the culture differences! The hardest thing to relate to is her boy situation b/c she hasn't really dated anyone (or how do you define "dating" even?) and she blushes and gets shy about stuff like that... she said women in China are expected to marry at age 25! So in about a year when she goes home people will be trying to set her up w/ men to marry and she hasn't even really been with any guys before- it made me kind of sad..
She told me a lot of China's older generation believe in fortune tellers and that sort of thing...She even read my palm and told me I would have 4 boyfriends, have 3 children (2 boys and a girl), I'll live into my 90s, I'm very intelligent (I may HAVE been, but after Australia... haha), and I don't really save money (who really can on study abroad- unless maybe you're in Equador and food and alcohol are basically free!..lucky ducks)
Anyway, love and miss you all tons! xoxo
OH and I think I have to see a doctor about my foot...Dena mentioned that it could be a stress fracture and I should probably get it x-rayed...that would suck!
