I am officially safe and sound in China. Although Chicago o’Hare tried to make me as late as possible with a broken plane, I have made it to Suzhou. Almost the whole group is here and we got a nice dinner together. I must say, it feels good to be back. Tomorrow is orientation and the day that I get a Chinese phone number!
I can’t wait to hit the ground running with learning Chinese. I feel as though I’m already getting a little better just by having to speak the language to do anything.
I’m so pumped about everything that’s happening and will happen during this study abroad experience.
The only negatives about this program is that I missed my Grandpa’s birthday and that I will miss my Dad’s birthday as well. Luckily, thay are just as excited for this opportunity as I am.
If any of you ever want to contact me, please feel free to email me or to add me on wechat!
Have a good one!
