I swear to god an update is coming soon. I have loads of pictures from Beijing and Qing Dao to share. i had a great trip. I can't believe how fast this semester has gone. Weeks are just flying by. i'm not in my apartment that much because i've been keep rather busy...hence my internet disappearance.

Now i have so many pictures to show it's overwhelming.

thanks to everyone who sent me happy happy birthday wishes!!!!!!

I had a great birthday thanks to many awesome people here in Yantai. It was a 4 days extraveganza. Marcos even came to visit which was sooo nice. everyone kept asking me what i wanted for my birthday but i felt like presents are kind of awkward. so to try and avoid it i kept telling everyone i wanted a Panda bear that could fight a dinosaur. Well when marcos showed up he came bearing a spectacular present. Two baby turtles.....one named panda the other dinosaur. i'm a very proud mother.

ok, well a real update is coming soon. I promise!!! if anyone even reads this outdated thing anymore!
