Today is the last day of Orientation. Tomorrow I, Tim, and Chris will be picked up by WaiGuoYou (our school), sign the legal documents, and taken to our new apartments. I can't BELIEVE how fast that went by. I spent almost all of Orientation experiencing, and not documenting so I apologize for the lack of photos and writing. Every day here is different. Some days are like a melody, catchy and free. Other days are a strange black and white scifi movie with a soundtrack that consists mainly of screeching violins. Some days I embrace the consistant absurdity that is China, other days I resist and resist wishing for something familiar and comfortable. Overall, I am so happy and proud to be here and am having SO much fun. The above photo is me with my Chinese class (plus Dana, my teacher) after our group presentation/play/musical where we were all tigers. Classes start September 1st!
