T - 5 Days: Not only do I get to be a part of the #SUAbroad program, but I'm granted the opportunity to study Chinese along with other international students of all ages as a part of Tsinghua's Language Program. Tonight, at the annual #NewYearsGala, it became clear that these students are not only hard working, but talented beyond belief. I'm truly going to miss being amongst such a diverse community (of whom share my affinity for 五道口's La Bamba) #HoWasHere (at #出去玩)

T - 6 Days: 9 beautiful cities and a ridiculous amount of panoramas to prove it. I am truly #blessed for this opportunity to explore China and I'll miss being surrounded by the history of a growing nation ☺️😍 #HoWasHere (at 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳)

And the countdown to my return home begins! T - 7 Days 😳 In my #HoWasHere countdown, it's only right to list the things I'll miss the most. One thing I'll miss dearly: China's DELICIOUS Street Food 🍢🍡 (at Wangfujing Snack Street)

Hello, Blog, I'm Back.

Once again, I'm so good at proving that keeping up with a blog isn't the easiest job on earth. At first, my hopes for these posts included:

1) An abundance of them

2) For them to be published while I was on these trips

and

3) For them to not all be Instagram photos 

But that didn't seem to be the case, come October. And now we've made it to November. Gobble Gobble.

Although I am actually so #blessed that my memory has not failed me in writing about my signature seminar from Sep -freakin - tember, I am saddened a bit to be posting about them so late in the game. Especially when I've been studying in Beijing and traveling all over this part of China for the past couple months. So...maybe this blog isn't the most accurate version of my current abroad experience, but don't you fret. 

I am set on posting more from my signature seminar and will hopefully finish the series before I leave (T - 24 days till I'm on a plane !!!) and then I hope to post a video/videos (?) about my trips around Beijing (Great Wall of China, Summer Palace, etc.) ! So, keep with me, my friends and family! There's so much to do and see here in China and, yes, I don't want to be looking down at a camera/on my computer the whole time, but it pains me to not be able to share this experience with the ones I love. 

So let's raise a glass: to yet another apology and a stronger promise.

(Also to two, YES COUNT THEM! TWO! Blog/Vlog posts today!!!) 

Scroll down and let's throw it way back (heh it's not thursday) to Day 2 and 3 of my signature seminar :)
