Heat and Smoke
I went river rafting with my cousins for two days and I guess in that same two days a lot of things happened at home. Roommates came out but I can’t sign in to my email sooo I guess I will wait for that. Best friend Michelle is on her way to Boston right now. The biggest overseas event must be the fact that my grandma has been in the hospital the last two days. I really wish someone would...

Converge Joy, Convey Happiness
That’s the lame tagline of the photo store downstairs my house. I went back numerous times to develop some wallet sizes of Jonathan, Wiliam, and I for my dad and pictures of my cousins and I so I could give it to them before I left. LOL Who would have thunk the two people who work at the photo store are the kinds of people that make me wish my adventure could be prolonged a litttle bit...

Je Me Sens Comme De La Merde.
Last text to my cousin..translates to I. Feel. Like. Shit. I decided to treat my cousin to a pedicure cause she treated me to one two weeks agoo. I also decided to get my first real mani-pedi-for-no-reason-just-because-want-to-look-nice. Together the bill came out to be 2180 RMB. Which is about 300 dollars. I don’t know if this is like normal or not..but fuck I feel reallllly bad. I spent a...

Almost 3AM Over Here
And I’m still awake cause my nightly routine consists of researching/preparing for even more aspects of SD and talking to Michelle. LOL I have spent the last four hours comparing book prices for all my classes, coming up with two new alternative “perfect” schedules, messaging Jonathan on how to be mentally and 100 % prepared for owning first day/year of middle school, and...

RDV
My cousin Meimei is studying to be a designer in Paris- at the same school Yves Saint Laurent graduated from. I can’t read or write Chinese and she sucks at English. Naturally I think it’s hilarious and pretty darn cute the only way we can communicate through text is in French.

Are you ever mad? At him? At him. At all of this. No…but I have the right to be. I get tired, and I get sad. But no, I’ve never been mad the way I should be.

MOCKINGJAY READERS PLEASE DONT SPOIL ANYTHING. ANYTHING. ANYTHING. PLEASEEE.
On another note, reading about people like Mark Zuckerberg makes me feel inferior and inspired at the same time.

In Beijing
I haven’t been gone from home for a very long time, but every day my eyes are opened wider and wider. And sometimes I don’t want to see certain things, but every moment I am amazed and thankful I can see at all.

China
Not much to say except I hope every success I’ve made here is long term.
I really wish I was home for my best friends leaving, but I’m completely unable at goodbyes so it’s for the best I’m halfway around the world. And since, I’ve always been quite skilled at inopportune timing, hopefully this entire mission will be in my favor.
It was a good thing that I came...

Hong Kong is ridiculous.
And I’m not even talking about how completely gorgeous it is. I don’t have to worry about talking with my dad, cause it’s been nonstop questioning, etc. But.. I feel…sooo out of place. I’m living at the Langham Hotel. Which I saw a commerical of on the plane and was like wow.. I hope I can go there to perhaps have fun. But living here is much nicer. It’s across from the best place to...

Olivejuiceleah off to Hong Kong
Yesterday driving back home from hanging out with all of my best friends one last time, I realized how scared I was. I’m not angry about the type of trip it may potentially be anymore, because I am definetly ready to survive and own up high class Hong Kong, despite my very pauper-like characteristics I like to embrace. But I was just scared in general. I have never been so out of my comfort...

Well
good thing I have best friends. Virginia came over and packed my entire suitcase for me. Then proceeded to give me a make up tutorial LOL just one of the many steps to show them upp over in Hong Kong. Then Helen and Maya came over and I guess sometimes, maybe always, it just feels good to talk to your best friends. Also went through like 1,000 of my 5,000 (literally) face book pictures to find...
