wow i can't believe i am leaving so soon...my entire summer! And I suddenly just realized that I'm not using proper capitalization so I will start that from now... Yesterday, I went to Monterey Park with family. If you're from Southern California, you'd know what I'm talking about - it's like the new Chinatown, but much larger. I had lunch there and looking around, I realized that I couldn't read a lot of things on the menu or on the posters and signs in the restaurant. Furthermore, I am sure that I've learned some of those words before, so this made me realize that I actually might need to brush up on some vocabulary before I take that placement test haha.
On another note, I checked weather.com and it says it's 95 degrees in Beijing. That is disgusting, adding the humidity. It's a dry 80 here in sunny socal right now, and I can't imagine the sweltering heat...and the mosquitoes...but I am trying not to think about that. Reading some of the blogs from last year's Light Fellows got me really excited for the trip, especially seeing pictures from the Inner Mongolia trip. It'll be nice stepping out of my comfort zone and seeing what happens. A lot of Light Fellows are already in China, and their blogs are getting me even more excited - can't wait til next week!
