Woah Christmas time!

Holy cow! I forgot to update this for a while. My apologies. I'm sure you're all very curious about where I've been and what I've been doing. I'll tell you. I've been working. A lot. Work has been crazy. good, but crazy. I've been at school for about 12 hours a day and then I have to do more on the weekends. I love it, but I'm busy.

So that's really it. It's cold here. Right around freezing all the time. Not Shenyang cold, but not warm either.

Lots of big events happening in my life soon!

We get 4 days for Christmas off, so my coworker, Clay and I are going to Hong Kong to meet up with Emma and Roger, the Irish couple that I worked with in Shenyang and who now work in Kuwait.

Then, we get 5 days off for New Years, and Clay and I are going to Xi'an to see the Terra Cotta army and Chengdu to see the pandas.

THEN, we get 3 weeks off in February and Clay and I are going to the Philippines. The coolest part of that is that mom and dad are meeting me there for the last week! I'm so excited.

Here's my terrible website picture. http://www.nbjc.net.cn/webhtml/disp_4_40002_8854.shtml

Things are good. All is well. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
