19 days and counting

So, if you're wondering why I say 19 days when it is still the 31st of march, well its because im not actually counting april 19 as a day because i leave my house at like 5am. Also for my wonderful friends in China, incase you were wondering, I'll arrive in China on April 20, I think sometime after 2100 (9pm). So I leave in 19 days, but don't arrive in China for 20. Yesterday I applied for my visa, im hoping it comes back fast. im starting to get nervous! of course im very excited, but this is the first time i have ever been on an airplane. i have always wanted to go to China, so for me, this trip is amazing. something i have always wanted to do. i can hardly wait! im so excited to meet all my wonderful friends, and to take lots of pictures to show all my friends here. i plan on making lots of new friends, but don't worry, i won't forget the old ones!

25 days until China

So 25 days until I leave for China. I can hardly wait! I went to go get my visa photo and had a bit of trouble. hopefully it all gets sorted out. i also started packing. washing blankets and summer clothes and packing them. im not taking a lot, but my blanket and pillow take up a lot of space so im going to have to take an extra bag i wasn't planning on taking. getting more excited everyday! i can't wait to meet zi meng!!! she's a super nice girl who i'll meet when i get to china. it's gonna be so nice to finally meet her! i have lots of new friends in China. lots of people waiting to meet me, lots of people i can't wait to meet. its awesome!
