So, because of some Visa delays, we will now be leaving for China on Sunday evening (August 21). My peeps will be flying back November 18, and I'll be flying back January 28.
Basically all this means is that we'll be going to church on Sunday and we'll be like, "So you know how everyone thought last week was our last time at church before China? .... Yeah..." I'm not to torn up about leaving a day later. Gives me more time to finish the Percy Jackson series (again) so I won't have to lug them to China. Speaking of books, we all got nooks! At first I thought it was kind of cool that "nook" and "book" rhymed, but now it's kind of annoying when you unintentionally rhyme those words more than once. :/ We downloaded a whole bunch of free books on them-- basically nothing that was published before 1960. Thrilling stuff. It'll give us some reading material when we're sitting on long train rides and... eating noodles and... watching old guys practice tai chi in the park... etc.
Man, I'm getting excited! (--insert typical phrase here-- selections: "I can't believe we're almost leaving!"; "It's hard to visualize what it'll be like."; "I wonder how many hot asian guys I'll meet?"; "Do you think in my kung fu training I'll learn to run on top of a crowd by stepping on people's heads?"; "I'm also kinda hungry.")
Anyway, my Project Before I Leave has been cleaning out my room because it is assumed that I'll be disembarking for college fairly soon after I come back and They'll want to use my room as a guest room. I had no idea that I had that many clothes.
Okay... well... there's not much more to say. Five months suddenly sounds like a really long time to be learning Kung Fu. But there's no turning back now!
Wish me luck,
Sarah
