As I’m listening to various birds coo and chirp outside, I remind myself that I am home at last.I’m sitting at my disorganized desk and a chair with no cushion or backing. Since I’m never home, most of the furniture in my room is taken without permission and typically never returned. ( i.e. my long mirror) I usually get annoyed with these mishaps the first few days I am back, but now that I’ve been back since Friday, I don’t really care anymore. I haven’t bothered to unpack yet and I really should…considering I’ve had to rummage through my suitcase of disaster to get my clothes and my hamper to get clean undergarments. Did I mention that all of these things are in the basement? It’s a quite a show.
Nonetheless, it’s good to be home. It’s been a really rough semester. I took classes that I thought I would like including 20th Century China, Global Women Writers and Shakespeare: Sources and Contexts, but alas, it was just a bunch of lies and deceit! Well regardless, this semester is over and I am awaiting two more grades on my transcript.
I have so many plans for the beginning of this summer, especially since I am leaving for China on June 17th. I will be gone until August 22nd, a total of 9 weeks. It’s crazy how time flies because technically, I’m already a senior in college. Most of me is still in denial because I typically count the summer as part of junior year. Regardless, I think it’s time to start fulfilling the list of things that I want to do. So far I’ve been doing nothing but sleeping in late and reading. I love reading for pleasure because I never really have the time to do it throughout the year. I just finished reading Michael Scott’s The Alchemyst: Secrets of The Immortal Nicholas Flammel. It’s an extremely fast read and I already put the next book in the series on hold. Unfortunately the author isn’t finished with the series and I will be waiting for book 3 to come out.
I’m really praying that the weather will be nice and hot enough to go to the beach before I leave because Beijing is nothing but high temperature and humidity! It’s an excellent day to go for a run and I think that’s exactly what I’m going to do later today.
Apologies for the long wait on the post. I promise to post more now that I’m home!
P.S. I’m rediscovering my love for RENT and recently sung their entire movie soundtrack in the car while driving. It’s quite excellent. Check it out when you get a chance. After all, there is “no day, but today“
P.P.S. I was going to take a picture of a beautiful tree outside of my room, but the key to my safe is currently MIA and my camera is inside soo I will look into it asap!
