So much to say, so little energy.
My internet works now!!! I had to change the IP addy, apparently. I was so distressed... but all is well now.
I never really feel like updating because there's too much to say and I get overwhelmed.
It's very hot here. The food is delicious... so far I haven't encountered anything weird or scary. I've had an unusually small appetite ever since I got here, though, and I'm tired a lot. My body is adjusting weird, but I think I'll be back to normal once school starts and I get on a set schedule. I can't wait for school to start because I think it'll help me learn Chinese faster... everyone keeps speaking English to me because they all want to practice their English, but it's making it hard for me to learn Chinese. I haven't got my school uniform yet, but I've seen them and they're cute. I'll send pictures when I get mine. I haven't taken many pictures yet because it makes me feel really tourist-y and embarrassed, but I will soon, and when I do I promise I'll post them.
My older host sister is letting me use her old cellphone while I'm here, but I don't have a SIM card for it yet... I'll post my number when I get it incase anyone wants to know...
If anyone has questions or anything, comment me...
Kiki, two days!!! I really wish I could see you off... Don't wait til the last minute to pack. You'll forget stuff... don't worry too much about the security craze at the airports... I had no trouble at all. I'm pretty sure I could have brought my toothpaste and everything in my carry-on and they wouldn't have even noticed. They weren't very thorough... And our jackets with all the pins got no question at all. People did give us some strange looks though... lol. Get a window seat. It's more fun. *sigh* I guess that's all I have to say for now... TTYL. Stay gold.
