4 Days Until Reunion

The Flag and I

Wang Hui taking the final...

Me with my beloved Jiao Laoshi; she reminds me of my Nana.

Slightly awkward class photo, but really we are all quite good looking.

As most of you already know, my parents and Josefina are coming to visit me in China! Woot. The countdown has officially begun! I am so excited to see them, I am hiring someone to videotape the teary and ridiculously dramatic reunion. But let me tell you what has been going on recently....



My first posted picture is from the morning flag raising at Tian An Men. Last Sunday a few of us decided it would be fun to roll out of bed at 3:50AM and make our way to Tian An Men to see the fabled raising of the red flag. Guess what? Even at 4AM there are hundreds of people in the square...Go figure. In any case, it was really cool, and I just started to get a little worried that I may actually miss China quite a bit.



This week of course was absolutely crazy owing to finals and graduation. Lots of studying got done, and I feel like I really have a good grip on what I learned here. The final wasn't bad and the day before the test two friends and I went for massages...we are in Asia after all. Graduation was tons of fun, and I will be the first to admit that I started crying when saying goodbye to my teachers. I wish I wasn't so darn emotional.



So my life here is rapidly coming to a close. Yesterday my roommate moved out, and today is laundry and readying things for the parent visit. We will of course be updating the blog with our tales of our journeys together so stay tuned.
